Abstract: Dental veneer cosmetic repair is a repair method that removes about 1mm from the tooth surface and covers the tooth surface with a thin layer of veneer restoration through bonding to restore the normal shape of the tooth tissue or improve the color. . So do you know what types of dental veneers there are? Generally speaking, the types of veneers include porcelain veneers, 3DS ultra-thin porcelain veneers, hard veneers and resin veneers. Compared with traditional dental cosmetic restoration, dental veneers are safe, beautiful, healthy and comfortable. Let’s take a look at the details below. What types of dental veneers are there
1. Porcelain veneers
This kind of dental treatment plastic porcelain veneers can be said to be the noble in the dental veneers family. Its production process is relatively It is relatively complex and requires very high technology and materials, high degree of simulation, very good dental aesthetics, and the material is stable and durable. Porcelain veneers are currently the most mainstream method of dental restoration in the foreign cosmetic industry. Of course, the cost is also relatively high.
2. 3DS ultra-thin porcelain veneers
3DS ultra-thin porcelain veneers are a quick, painless, and less wear-and-tear teeth whitening technique that truly benefits people who love beauty. Using the most advanced bonding technology, high-tech porcelain restoration materials are used to bond and cover the surface of tooth surface defects, stained teeth, discolored teeth, and deformed teeth while preserving the vital pulp and wearing less than 0.5mm to restore the surface. Normalize the shape of teeth and improve their color.
3. Hard veneers
This technology is also called hard resin veneers, super porcelain veneers, and porcelain-like veneers. The material of tooth whitening veneers is to add a large amount of porcelain powder particles to the resin. This not only improves the wear resistance of the resin of our teeth, but also greatly improves the aesthetic performance of the resin. And its clinical operation process is very similar to porcelain veneers.
4. Resin veneers
The biggest advantages of veneers made directly from resin in the patient's mouth are convenience, speed and speed. It can quickly improve the aesthetic appearance of the patient’s front teeth. For fluorosis of the front teeth, teeth with mild tetracycline, microteeth, gaps between teeth, and partial missing teeth due to trauma, etc., if the patient cannot accept the cost of porcelain veneers and super-porcelain veneers in the short term, it can be regarded as a transitional way to improve the aesthetics in the short term. Restoration.
What are the advantages of dental veneers
1. Safety
Little tooth tissue is removed. Porcelain veneers remove less dental tissue, and in some cases no dental tissue is even required. This can preserve a large amount of dental tissue without killing nerves, and basically controls postoperative pulp inflammation, necrosis and other full crown repairs. of the sequelae, and can maintain the long-term health of natural teeth.
2. Beautiful.
The simulation effect is good. The simulated cosmetic effect of porcelain veneers has the same optical properties as natural tooth tissue, does not contain any metal components, and shows the best aesthetic effect. There will never be the black line phenomenon on the gums that is common with porcelain teeth. There are many different colors of porcelain blocks to choose from when making porcelain veneers, and external dyeing can be used to fine-tune the color. During clinical bonding, there are a variety of different shades of adhesives and white shading agents that can be used to assist in adjusting the color of the porcelain veneers to achieve an overall coordinated cosmetic effect. Moreover, the high wear resistance and non-staining properties of porcelain can enable porcelain veneers to achieve a permanent whitening effect.
3. Healthy
Little irritation to gums. Porcelain veneers have excellent light transmittance and can be flush with the gums when preparing the teeth. This is beneficial to protecting the gums, making impressions and bonding porcelain veneers. The area connected to the gums is only on the labial side, which causes less irritation to the gums. There is no discoloration of the gums caused by metal ions in metal porcelain teeth. Porcelain crowns are harder than tooth enamel and can cause wear on the opposing teeth. The hardness of porcelain veneers is slightly lower than that of tooth enamel, which can effectively protect the opposing teeth.
4. Comfortable
No foreign body sensation in the mouth. Traditional porcelain dental restoration requires the grinding of the natural teeth on the lingual side. The teeth on the lingual side are usually healthy and in the most coordinated state with the lingual and opposing teeth. Even the best metal-ceramic teeth cannot be restored to their former natural tooth state. Porcelain veneer repair basically does not require grinding the lingual part of the teeth, and can preserve most or all of the lingual shape, effectively protecting the opposing teeth. At the same time, the tongue still contacts the undamaged natural teeth, giving a natural touch. , comfortable, and avoids the "foreign body feeling" when the tongue comes into contact with traditional porcelain teeth. Therefore, porcelain veneers have good comfort.
Applicability of dental veneers
1. Teeth with abnormal shape, enamel dysplasia, teeth that are too small, etc.
2. Moderate or severe tetracycline teeth, fluorosis, etc.
3. When caries cause incisal defects or superficial and extensive caries on the tooth surface, the composite resin restoration is not strong and the color is consistent with the real teeth.
4. Teeth with sparse gaps or slightly crooked teeth that do not want correction but have normal occlusion.
5. Drug-induced discolored teeth.
6. Hereditary yellow teeth.
7. Serious cases of teeth with cracks, defects, or holes.
