Porcelain veneers are a popular treatment method in aesthetic dentistry that combines natural appearance and durability. Porcelain veneers, used to correct the color, shape, and size of teeth, offer an ideal solution for patients with aesthetic concerns. With the expertise of Dentist Duygu Gürleyen, Alanya Dental Clinic provides modern technology and personalized solutions for porcelain veneer treatments.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain placed on the front surface of the teeth. They are applied to improve the appearance of teeth and achieve an aesthetic smile. Porcelain provides more aesthetic results compared to other veneer materials due to its light transmittance and natural appearance. Additionally, its durable structure makes it a long-lasting treatment option.
When Are Porcelain Veneers Used?
Porcelain veneer treatment is preferred in the following cases:
- Discolored or Stained Teeth: For discolorations that cannot be removed with whitening treatments.
- Worn Teeth: To address aesthetic concerns caused by enamel wear.
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: For aesthetic and functional corrections.
- Gaps Between Teeth (Diastema): To close gaps between teeth.
- Misshapen Teeth: To achieve a more even and symmetrical appearance.
Porcelain Veneer Treatment Process
1. Initial Examination and Planning:
Dentist Duygu Gürleyen thoroughly examines the patient’s oral and dental structure. The patient’s aesthetic expectations are discussed, and a suitable treatment plan is created.
2. Tooth Preparation:
The tooth is minimally filed to create a suitable surface for the porcelain veneer. This step is crucial to ensure that the veneer blends seamlessly with the natural tooth appearance.
3. Digital Impression:
A precise impression of the teeth is taken for the design of the porcelain veneers. This impression is sent to a laboratory where custom veneers are created.
4. Temporary Veneer:
A temporary veneer is placed to protect the teeth and meet aesthetic needs during the laboratory process.
5. Placement of Porcelain Veneers:
The custom-made porcelain veneer is bonded to the tooth with special adhesives. During this process, the color, shape, and size of the veneer are carefully checked.
6. Final Adjustments:
Once the veneer is placed, its chewing functionality and aesthetic appearance are evaluated. Minor adjustments are made if necessary.
