Veneers: wafer-thin veneers for a radiant smile
For many people, a radiant smile with white, even teeth is the epitome of beauty and health. However, sometimes discoloration or small irregularities detract from the desired appearance of teeth. Veneers – wafer-thin veneers – offer you the opportunity to help in this case and get closer to the perfect smile.
Who are veneers suitable for?
Eliminate discoloration or make crooked teeth appear straighter
Veneers are particularly useful for the front teeth. Here, the veneers help to eliminate discoloration or make crooked teeth appear straighter. People with congenital or acquired defects in the enamel (often recognizable as white spots) also benefit from veneers. Minor misalignments of the front teeth can be corrected, as can small gaps or chipped areas on the incisors or canines.
What can you expect from a Biohealth dentist?
Veneers are veneers.
They are attached to the real teeth with a special adhesive.
The dentist has to grind them down a little beforehand.
If you opt for conventional veneers, only a very thin layer of your own tooth is removed – around 0.3 to 1 mm is sufficient.
The conventional veneer is specially adapted to your tooth situation in the dental laboratory.
This means that it will later have exactly the same color as the remaining or adjacent teeth.
Once the veneer is finished, the dentist uses a special adhesive to attach it to the tooth.
This bonding process takes around 20 minutes per tooth.
A conventional veneer has an average lifespan of five to ten years.
It is then replaced by a new veneer at the dentist.
In addition to conventional veneers, there are also so-called non-prep veneers.
These have a significantly shorter lifespan, but can be attached to the teeth without prior grinding as they are only 0.2 mm thick.
Even if this variant does not last as long as the conventional one, it is gentler on the tooth.
As the tooth substance is completely preserved, there is no risk of nerve damage.
