Porcelain Dental Veneers
A smile makeover built to last.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for anyone seeking a perfect smile.
They are thin and delicate, yet strong and durable.
Dental veneers are an aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of the teeth. They allow changes in tooth shape, volume and color with minimal tooth reduction, resulting in a harmonious, personalized smile.
Thin layers of ceramic are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to correct imperfections such as discoloration, stains, irregular shapes, gaps between teeth and even minor alignment issues.
Dental veneers are custom-made ceramic layers designed to fit the front surface of the teeth. They are ultra-thin pieces, up to 0.25 mm thick, and highly resistant. This aesthetic dentistry treatment is simple and painless, carried out in the following steps:
- Initial Consultation:
Before applying the veneers, the patient's oral health must be assessed. If there are problems such as cavities, tartar, gum disease or other contraindications, they must be treated first.
- Color and Shape Selection:
During the initial consultation, we discuss the patient's needs and expectations, including the desired color and shape of the veneers. We always aim for a natural look, so we advise patients not to choose results that would look artificial.
- Preparation:
Current technology allows a minimally invasive procedure. In most cases there is no tooth reduction; we only round off the edges.
- Impression or Scanning:
We take a digital impression of the teeth with an intraoral scanner. Images of the teeth and gums are captured to create a 3D model, used to make veneers tailored to the patient's teeth.
- Fabrication of the Veneers:
The impression data is sent to a dental laboratory, where the veneers are precisely fabricated to the patient's specifications.
- Try-in and Fine Adjustments:
When the veneers are ready, we carry out tests and final adjustments. We check that they fit correctly and adjust them if needed, to ensure a perfect fit and a natural appearance.
- Bonding the Veneers:
After this process, the veneers are bonded to the patient's teeth using a special adhesive cement. Each veneer is carefully placed in the correct position and firmly fixed to the tooth. We take every care to control moisture in the mouth to ensure a bond free of adhesion problems, which guarantees the longevity of the treatment.
- Final Polishing:
Once the veneers are bonded, Dr. Marcelo de Araujo Garcia removes any excess cement and makes the final adjustments and polishing to ensure they look natural and blend perfectly with the adjacent teeth.
Main Advantages of Dental Veneers
- Durability:
Porcelain veneers are high quality and can last many years. They resist stains and discoloration, keeping their aesthetic appearance over time.
- Natural Appearance:
Dental veneers are made after a detailed facial analysis of the patient, taking into account how much gum shows when smiling, tooth position, color and shape.
- Easy Maintenance:
Veneers require no special care beyond good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and daily flossing. As with natural teeth, ideally you should have professional cleanings every 4-6 months, depending on each case.
- Greater Self-Confidence:
One of the greatest benefits of dental veneers is the positive impact on patients' self-confidence and self-esteem. After all, a beautiful smile improves social and professional interactions, bringing much more confidence in relating to others.
