Dental Veneers; Composite Laminates And The Adhesive Bonding System
Nowadays; everyone wishes to look perfect. To achieve the perfect appearance and get rid of their “imperfections”; people turn to cosmetic treatments.
It is possible to alter a person’s teeth cosmetically; elements that have a great role in a person’s appearance.
The need to have a pearly white smile brings along fast-paced developments in the sector of dentistry. One of the most popular methods developed in this aspect is dental veneers. They are applied just onto the outer; visible surfaces of a person’s teeth.
Just like coating furniture with a thin layer of varnish onto the inner parts of furnitures to achieve a desired look; or a particular color; a person’s appearance may be altered by porcelain; or composite; veneers that are applied onto the outer surfaces of their teeth. While keeping their actual teeth intact behind the veneers; veneers in desired colors or features may be applied onto them.
WHAT TYPES OF TEETH ARE APPROPRIATE FOR VENEERS?
They are especially used to close the gaps between spaced teeth.
*They are also used for the teeth that have lost their appeal in time and with the coming of age; to give them back their young appearance. If the teeth are shaky due to a periodontal destruction; composites are supported with material of fiber content and teeth are thus tied together.
*Severe discolorations that remain even after bleaching procedures.
*If the patient with (lightly) crooked teeth does not wish to receive an orthodontic treatment;
*They are used for patients that are not happy with how their teeth look and wish to have a different image. In people that wish their incisors to be slightly longer; or those who believe that their canines are too sharp and want to have them straightened out; it is possible to meet their demands and keep their actual teeth intact with veneers.
*For people who wish to convert their negative smile line into a positive one;
*For people over 18 that wish to have a better smile without getting their teeth destroyed in the process; if they have appropriate oral and dental structures.
*As a quick fix for people whose teeth broke due to falling; crashes or traffic accidents.
HOW COMPOSITE LAMINATES ADHERE TO YOUR TEETH
The tooth enamel layer is just like a honeycomb. Your dentist empties these honeycombs with a special solution at a microscopic level and inserts an adhesive that resembles the laminates in nature into these honeycombs.
You know how a floor tile is fragile by itself; until it is glued onto the floor with a heavy glue; then it becomes unbreakable; even when the wheels of a truck stomp it.
When stuck onto your teeth with correct adhesives; composites act like teeth. Though; their resistance can never match that of your actual teeth. They are easily harmed when you consume shelled nuts; or push them beyond their limits.
WHY VENEERS ARE AESTHETIC
When your dental tissues reflect light; each tooth does so; depending on the density of their layers (enamel; dentin; pulpa). Veneers imitate the refraction of your actual teeth. As they do not include metals and are designed based on your own face; they are visually pleasing.
DO VENEERS HARM YOUR TEETH?
The principles of their dental adherence is like that of orthodontic apparatus. As your teeth remain intact when they are applied; your enamel will be unchanged when they are removed. In addition; considering that they end sensitivity issues in the gaps between shifted teeth after a tooth or two is removed; it might be agreed that they are actually beneficial. Another advantage of their application is the ability to ensure a visually pleasing appearance; without altering your actual teeth.
Unlike the common belief; composite laminates do not harm your teeth; nor cause tooth decays. They are renewed when it is due without any problems if the person exercises good oral care and brushes properly.
Can Composite Veneers Last a Lifetime?
As is the case with every other restoration; composite veneers may become worn out. Generally; they last 5-10 years. 6-month dentist checks make them last longer. Abrasive toothpastes may harm your veneers. Brushing regularly and dentist controls; on the other hand; make them last longer.
What Procedures Follow the Application of Composite Veneers?
Composite veneer applications may be followed with porcelain veneers or crown bridges; depending on a patient’s demands. They will not cause a problem.
