Thanks to the latest technological innovations in the dental field, it is possible to achieve a perfect smile even without invasive operations
The dental veneers are particular prostheses made of ceramic, porcelain or disilicate applied directly on the external surface of the single tooth to correct any defects in the shape, color or position of the teeth. “With this intervention of aesthetic dental medicine it is possible to correct a series of imperfections in a minimally invasive way without resorting to real dental implants”, Dr. Luigi Vittozzi and Dr. Giovanni Cacciola, pioneers of Aesthetic Dentistry in Italy.
What are aesthetic facets and what are they for?
They are very thin ceramic or porcelain lamellas that are permanently cemented onto the tooth, previously prepared, to correct small structural and functional imperfections, offering the patient who undergoes the treatment the possibility of obtaining a perfect and flawless mouth. The result is in fact extraordinarily surprising and durable (up to 10 years), as long as the intervention is performed by an experienced professional and high-quality materials are used.
Specifically, what are the main advantages that aesthetic facets offer?
In addition to a significant improvement in the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, the veneers ensure considerable psychological benefits, increasing the self-esteem of a patient who is more confident in his appearance. In fact, the application of the veneers guarantees whiter and shinier teeth and the total coverage of permanent stains and discolorations: the aesthetic rendering of this treatment is therefore noteworthy even if the common thread is always the health of the tooth.
When should these facets be used?
In the presence of diastema, resistance of the enamel to normal whitening techniques, stained, crooked, chipped or worn teeth. In the latter case, the use of prostheses will allow for better chewing, thus guaranteeing benefits that are beyond the mere aesthetic factor.
Is it an invasive and painful procedure?
Absolutely not! Thanks to the scientific development and the improvement of interventional techniques (no-prep), nowadays more and more patient-sized, it is now possible to apply such veneers without filing the teeth in any way but only by conditioning the surfaces with suitable adhesives. In line with the so-called “Minimal Intervention Dentistry” (minimally invasive dentistry), this approach is extremely conservative, since it does not interfere in any way with the structure and strength of the teeth. The advantages for the patient are therefore enormous, since he can find a healthy and perfect smile without pain.
