What Are Dental Veneers?
If you have yellowed or chipped teeth, you can now solve the problem and return to a flawless white smile thanks to aesthetic dental veneers. Dental veneers are very thin shells of porcelain used on the front of the upper arch teeth to hide defects in the shape, position, color and size of the teeth. They are similar to fake nails due to their delicacy and finesse (less than 1 mm thick),
thanks to this thinness they appear transparent to the light and have a natural appearance. They are defined as true dental prostheses, as once attached, they will remain on the tooth for approximately 10 years. When a dental veneer is removed from a tooth, in fact, it will need a valuable substitute to recover its normal appearance, since in order to apply it, the tooth will be ground a little. They can also be integrated with partial crowns. In this case, the tooth will not loosen as much as before.
When To Use Dental Veneers?
- If you have teeth that have taken on an opaque or yellow color (for example due to smoking), aesthetic veneers restore the white color, in a more effective way than the whitening of different teeth.
- When you need to repair chipped teeth.
- To improve the shape of the teeth, if you have very small or very short teeth: aesthetic veneers remodel the shape, harmonizing all the teeth.
- If you suffer from bruxism and your tooth enamel has worn away over time, you will need a dental veneer which is a layer that will protect your tooth.
- To improve tooth alignment: an aesthetic veneer corrects this defect, making your teeth regular.

How are dental veneers applied?
- To apply the veneers, the dentist will have to thin a part of the tooth enamel by 0.7 millimeters, then he will take a dental impression and with a color scale he will check the shade of the white of your teeth.
- The dental laboratory prepares the provisional teeth with the resin material, to determine the shape and size for the final veneer.
- Then, our doctors and laboratory technicians perform some control tests for the form, confirmation and some other details and when everything is perfect from the functional and aesthetic point of view, our doctors decide the final measure which will restore the perfect smile.
How to care for dental veneers?
- Brush your teeth 3 times a day, after meals.
- Floss your teeth at least once a day.
- Book a periodic visit to the dentist to check your dental situation.
- Bruxism damages the teeth and therefore also the veneers: talk to the dentist, who will advise you to apply a bite during the night.s
- Don’t chew very hard food: dental veneers are very resistant, but not like natural teeth.
- Also avoid smoking: apart from damaging your health, smoking is one of the main causes of teeth yellowing.
