The Different Types of Porcelain Veneers
A dental veneer is a thin shell custom-made and bonded to the front surface of one’s tooth. Veneers are used to treat a number of dental conditions, including crooked, discolored, chipped, and jagged teeth. Dental veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures due to their ease of application and the significant improvements they make to one’s smile. Porcelain veneers are actually made from one of five kinds of material even though they are all named porcelain.
The major advantage of composite material veneers is their treatment time. Composite dental veneers are usually hand made by the dentist in just one appointment. The teeth are prepared and the veneers are layered, shaped, and polished to look like your natural teeth. Since it only takes one visit, you can leave your dentist’s office with a brand new smile.
Feldspathic veneers are made using quartz-type porcelain on a platinum foil. A wet brush along with porcelain powder is used when applying this type of dental veneer. A ceramicist paints layers onto a model then it is baked in a porcelain oven. The porcelain layers are thin and will shrink when heated. For this reason, the process is done repeatedly until the contour is just right.
Pressed ceramic veneers were introduced in the 1990s and are a popular method of creating

. The veneer design is first molded in wax. Molten porcelain is then injected into the molded wax. The porcelain is allowed to cool, causing it to harden completely. The wax is then melted to reveal the veneers. This type of porcelain veneer is notably stronger than feldspathic ones but requires more thickness, and therefore more tooth reshaping. Pressed ceramic veneers are monochromatic but can be customized by a skilled ceramicist to create beautiful veneers.
Heat-pressed, leucite-reinforced pressed ceramic veneers are stronger than those mentioned above and can therefore be made thinner. It is designed to go with no or minimal reshaping since this type of veneer is very thin, usually around 0.2mm. It is the only monochromatic type of

Finally, there are the so-called Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic veneers. This type of

are capable of being bonded to a tooth and is much stronger than other types of porcelain veneers. Thus, they are more resistant against chipping. This is an excellent choice for those suffering from severe cases of bruxism or teeth grinding. Manufacturers are currently creating more natural tooth colors to match the aesthetic demands of consumers.
