What Are The Types of Tooth Veneers?
Types of Tooth Veneers
Celebrities’ smiles that change with fame are often the result of veneer treatment. From Beren Saat to Kendall Jenner, Miley Cyrus to Emma Watson, many celebrities owe their perfect smile to veneers. Long-lasting and durable veneers also perform impressively in meeting personal needs. While some try to achieve the most natural look with tiny touches, for others, pearly lined bright teeth are the primary criterion. Naturally, the current oral structure, needs and wishes are among the factors that are important in the choice of veneers.
1. Zirconium Veneer
Zirconium, which is frequently used among dental veneers, is among the methods used by celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. Zirconium, which is actually a white-coloured alloy, is generally used in cases where there are intraoral tooth separations, distortions and loss of too much material that cannot be corrected with filling.
However, it can also be preferred for cosmetic purposes due to its aesthetic appearance and shows high intraoral harmony in all conditions.
Zirconium coating, which is one of the best treatments for broken, decayed and damaged teeth, is especially preferred for its natural appearance and aesthetic complementarity.
While grey metal is used as a substructure in other veneers, white zirconium alloy, which gives the application its name, is used in zirconium veneers.
Thus, it is ensured that the coating reflects the normal tooth colour and is close to the natural tooth tone.
Other advantages of zirconium veneers are as follows:
- Zirconium veneers are resistant to pressure, so while it is preferred for its aesthetic appearance in the front teeth, it can be used in the back, lower and upper teeth due to its durability.
- Zirconium is a material resistant to decay and discolouration, it does not cause any discolouration around the gums even in long-term use.
- It is the type with the least hot-cold sensitivity among all veneers. Due to this feature, it offers ease of use and is a good alternative in cases of metal allergy.
- Since its strength is high, it is extremely unlikely to break, so it can be used for many years without any problems.
Zirconium veneers, which help to achieve perfect harmony in the mouth thanks to their light transmittance, are among the best methods preferred to achieve natural and flawless smiles. Unlike classical veneers, zirconium veneers, which do not have the problem of looking dull and lifeless and do not change colour over time, can make it easier for you to have wonderful smiles while getting rid of functional dental problems.
2. Porcelain Veneer
Porcelain veneers, which are applied to have a more aesthetic and self-confident smile, are the main application behind the perfect smile of Millie Bobby Brown, whose star shines with Stranger Things. Porcelain veneers, which are frequently used for aesthetic smile design, are especially effective in closing the gap between the front teeth. For this reason, it is among the methods preferred by celebrities such as Zac Efron and Demi Lovato.
Porcelain veneers, which are robust in terms of structure, maintain their first day’s brightness no matter how much time passes. Therefore, it offers a permanent solution to eliminate aesthetic defects in previously deformed, discoloured or damaged teeth. Although it is especially preferred because it closes the gap between the front two teeth, it also helps to prevent loss of oral function caused by various structural disorders.
Other advantages of porcelain veneers are as follows:
- It is produced with a material suitable for tooth colour and mouth structure and offers a natural appearance.
- It is resistant to stain formation and no discolouration is observed over time.
- It is resistant to impacts, not easily broken or damaged.
- It helps to aesthetically eliminate the loss of function caused by broken, worn or decayed teeth.
- With the help of 3-dimensional dental scans, porcelain veneers, which are produced individually, are placed on the chipped teeth and completely cover the teeth from front to back. Thus, it provides the tooth to gain strength.
- Intraoral harmony is high and treatment time is fast. It can be used for many years with regular oral care.
Another feature that distinguishes porcelain veneers from methods such as zirconium is the price advantage. You can easily choose porcelain veneers, which provide high strength resistance to the teeth with the metal support underneath, to have the aesthetic smile of your dream. With proper and regular oral care, you can give your teeth a permanent shine.
Depending on your individual needs, you may need support from a number of different treatment methods. For this reason, you can consult our expert dentists to get information about the most accurate and best application.
3. Laminate Veneer
Laminate veneer, which often comes up with the name of leaf porcelain, is one of the most popular applications among celebrities. Due to its advantages such as being easy, fast application and providing a perfect appearance to the teeth, it is possible to come across leaf porcelain in almost every celebrity.
Miley Cyrus, Cardi B, Nicolas Cage, Fahriye Evcen, Bergüzar Korel, Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ and Kenan İmirzalıoğlu are just a few of them. The most important factor why the list is so long is that porcelain laminates help to reorganise the smile without damaging the teeth.
Laminate veneer made of porcelain material is also called leaf or nail porcelain because of its leaf shape.
It is very effective in eliminating all kinds of defects caused by cracked, broken, crumbled teeth and damaging the aesthetic appearance.
In terms of application method, it is easier than other methods.
Thin-structured leaf porcelains produced individually are adhered to the front side of the teeth with a special material.
In this way, discolouration and other similar aesthetic defects on the teeth are completely removed.
Other advantages of laminate veneer application, which is produced from high quality material and aims for lifelong use, are as follows:
- It is the most convenient method for the elimination of minor distortions and chipping of the teeth.
- It has simple and easy application steps and shows high intraoral harmony.
- It is durable and suitable for long-term use.
- Since it only contacts the teeth from the front face, it does not touch the tongue and does not affect tongue movements or speech. Therefore, it does not make any difference in use.
- It is produced in a colour suitable for gums and tooth enamel and does not cause problems such as fading or discolouration over time.
You can also choose laminate veneer application to get rid of dental problems that are discoloured over time, damaged due to different reasons and damage your general appearance.
