Dental veneers are tooth colored shell like structures employed for improving the aesthetics and function of the teeth in question. Dental veneers could be porcelain veneers or composite veneers.
WHEN ARE DENTAL VENEERS INDICATED?
Dental veneers are indicated in cases of permanently stained, broken or chipped off teeth, spacing between teeth and in case of stained fillings that are aesthetically unsightly.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PORCELAIN VENEERS?
The reasons why porcelain veneers are superior to composite veneers are as follows:
- Porcelain veneers are durable as compared to composite veneers and can last up to 15 years. Composite veneers can easily get chipped off and it has to be replaced within 5-7 years.
- As porcelain veneers are superior in strength, the amount of tooth reduction to be done is minimal whereas due to the lower strength of composite veneers, higher amount of tooth reduction has to be done.
- Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining. Composite veneers are porous comparatively and therefore can easily stain and compromise dental aesthetics.
- Porcelain veneers render a more natural tooth like appearance due to the translucent hue which resembles enamel unlike composite veneers.
