All the food we eat requires chewing by teeth before it can be digested, so teeth are actually a place where problems are prone to occur. For example, many people may have cavities, and many people have some Dental problems, big or small, and dental veneers are a common dental treatment. So, what is the main material of general dental veneers?

1. Materials used for dental veneers

(1) Nano-resin veneers

Nano-resin veneers are made by bonding polymer composite resin to The tooth surface is carefully carved into the ideal tooth shape.

Because nano resin has natural tooth color, it can effectively cover the color of discolored teeth and achieve beautiful tooth color. The quality of nano-resin is easy to shape, and the ideal tooth shape can be achieved through repeated carving by the dentist. Nano resin veneer operation time is short and can be completed in one go. The price for veneer repair is relatively low.

(2) Hard veneers

Hard veneers are made by evenly removing a layer of the labial surface of the teeth, making a dental mold, and then using special dental porcelain After the resin of the plastic material is processed, it is pasted on the teeth.

(3) Porcelain veneers

The repair method of porcelain veneers is to evenly remove a layer of the labial surface of the teeth, make a dental mold, and then use dental special porcelain After the material is vacuum-compressed and fired, it is pasted on the teeth.

2. Advantages of dental veneers

(1) Safety

Less dental 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. It does not contain any metal components and shows the best aesthetic effect. There will be no 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.
