How Tooth Veneers Are Made?
Dental veneers are a treatment method applied to the surface of teeth for aesthetic and functional reasons. It is generally preferred to repair broken, cracked, deformed or discolored teeth and give them a natural appearance. Dental veneers are widely used in dentistry and provide patient satisfaction. Dental veneers create a strong and durable surface while preserving the existing structure of the tooth. During the veneering process, a thin layer of material is placed on the tooth and this layer covers the tooth, providing both an aesthetic and functional solution. The veneering process is usually completed in a few sessions and as a result, the teeth have a smoother, whiter and healthier appearance. Dental veneers increase the self-confidence of individuals, allowing them to smile more comfortably. After the procedure, the teeth look very similar to natural teeth, which makes the veneers aesthetically satisfying. Veneer materials include different options such as zirconium, porcelain and composite, which allows patients to choose the most suitable material according to their needs. Dental veneers can be applied not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to protect and strengthen the teeth.

Next, impressions of your teeth are taken and the appropriate veneers are prepared in the laboratory. By placing a temporary veneer, your teeth are protected and your aesthetic concerns are addressed. Finally, the prepared permanent veneer is placed on your teeth and fixed with a special adhesive. Throughout this process, your dentist makes sure that the veneers fit snugly on your teeth and makes the necessary adjustments. The process of dental veneers allows you to achieve excellent results both aesthetically and functionally.
