Veneers are an alternative solution that look like a thin scale or an artificial nail glued to the patient's tooth in order to:
- adjust the shape of the tooth
- improve its colour
- close the space between teeth (diastemy)
Veneers perfectly improve the aesthetics of teeth, provided they are performed in accordance with the strict procedures and principles that should not be modified. This helps to avoid later disappointment resulting in cracked or an unglued veneer in a variety of unforeseen occasions.
Here, the example presents a patient with diastema, that is a gap between the central upper incisors and small, narrow and slightly too short upper lateral incisors. The colour of teeth does not need any changes so that in this particular case the dentist will simply adapt to this feature.
The procedure starts with a mock-up impression, a kind of visualisation of the future veneers. It is made of a special material put directly onto the teeth, so one can leave the clinic and at home quietly think over all possible changes in teeth shape.
As can be seen in the second photo, the following changes has been made: the central incisors have been widened so that there is no gap between them, as well as the upper lateral incisors, thus obtaining perfect harmony of all the front teeth. If this particular project is accepted, another impression will be taken to make the final veneers.
The last steps are performed during two subsequent visits - first the veneers are glued and the excess amount of glue is collected, then the final finishing and polishing is carried out.
