Ceramic Veneers
Premium Smile Enhancement – Be Amazed – Be Extravagant
At Dental Aesthetics Athens, we are specialised in premium minimally invasive veneers, that should create dramatic & natural smiles.
As our core principles highlight minimal invassiveness & structural integrity of healthy teeth, new ceramic veneers (new lithium-disilicate & new zirconias) serve these purposes finely.
They entail high-end aesthetics combined with extraordinary robustness & are ultra bio-friendly. They can mask discolourations , enhance brightness & add characterisations in an insanely natural way
Their biological properties allow gums attach & integrate to their marginal interface so smoothly, that makes it impossible to tell the line between ceramics & the tooth.
See for yourself & be amazed by the total recall of naturalness and extravagance you can gain with new ultra-premium ceramic veneers
- Aesthetic enhancement with proper shade selection
- Matching primary and complementary colour characteristics i.e transparency, opacity, fluor- and opalesence
- Conservative tooth preparation
- Functional scheme of occlusion
- Balanced occlusion to avoid catastrophic fractures
- 360-veneers on young patients with worn teeth due to grinding or clenching
Up to recently, the only way to correct dental imperfections was to cover the tooth with a crown. However, such restorations are considered invasive nowadays. Therefore, in most cases porcelain veneers are the treatment of choice for any teeth , unless those, which bear crowns already. In our clinic, each restorative treatment is ignited with and driven by the Aesthetic Analysis and DSD (see:aesthetic analysis). The designed outcome is faithfully transferred on to the natural teeth with the use of navigation indexes soaked with flowable trial composite. So, we are able to show you how the end result may look, and that is directly from the very beginning. Limitations or contra-indications to ceramic veneers are considered pre-operatively with the Aesthetic&Functional Analysis (i.e. extreme malposition of teeth, need for periodontal therapy, need for additional treatments). Cornerstone for such conservative, yet premium aesthetic restorations is the ultra durable bonding procedures, that have been introduced the last years
Veneer is a thin layer of restorative material, which is bonded onto the front surface of teeth. Two main types of materials are utilized to fabricate a veneer, composite and dental porcelain (ceramic). Composite veneers (see: composite veneers) are either intra-orally built-up with layering technique, or extra-orally milled by CAD/CAM setup, and later bonded to teeth. As opposed to composite veneer, its porcelain counterparts can only be indirectly fabricated regularly with CAD/CAM installation. Major advantage is, that minimal preparation of the tooth (e.g. reduction) is regularly demanded. Most of the cases can be treated in ”no-cut no-drill” approach. Most veneer procedures can be carried out without anesthesia. In heavy discolorations, matching the shade of a sole veneer and blending it into the color of the adjacent teeth sometimes appears problematic, hence pre-treatment with whitening procedures of the dentition is a prerequisite. Thus, minimally invasive tooth preparation can finally be operated. Typically, a labial 0.3-0.5 mm of tooth reduction/cutting is required for a porcelain veneer. However, in well selected cases, natural tissues can be fully preserved. Especially,on retruded teeth no cutting is employed. As a result, treatment can be non-invasive and teeth can remain intact. Porcelain (ceramic) veneers are also used to resurface teeth such as to make them appear straighter and with a pleasing alignment. Porcelain veneers demand 2-3 visits.
On extreme malpositions, orthodontics should primarily be used , or orthodontics followed by veneers.
At Dental Aesthetics we use pressed & milled ceramics e-max (IPS IVOCLAR Inc) new zirconia ingots & feldspathic porcelain.
