Ceramic veneers are thin but highly resistant shells that are custom-made for each patient in advanced laboratories. They have a very natural transparency and shine and are highly resistant to staining. Veneers are usually used to correct more extensive problems such as severe discoloration, fractures, wear or uneven teeth.
At Javier Dental, a digital scan is first performed for each patient, and then the shape and color of the veneers are individually determined based on a digital smile design (DSD). This process allows the patient to see a 3D model of the future smile and prevents errors. The tooth grinding in this method is very minimal and conservative, and contrary to the misconception of some people, it does not damage the teeth in any way and is only done to the extent that the laminate finds the best match. Due to their resistant structure, laminates are very durable and are very resistant to discoloration caused by food, coffee, tea and tobacco. If properly cared for, laminates can maintain the beauty of a smile for between 10 and 15 years – and sometimes more. For this reason, this method is a popular choice for many people who are looking for a real and lasting Hollywood smile.
