Dental veneers are thin ceramic films that are glued to the visible part of the tooth. Thanks to this process, we can easily mask defects and therefore change the color of the teeth, their alignment as well as their shape.
The veneers are intended mainly for the front and visible teeth. No need to consider these kinds of techniques for molars that are located at the back of the mouth. The facets are made in line with the smile line, the position of the lips, and the orientation of the bipupillary line (the one passing through both eyes).
Unlike a conventional prosthetic crown, the veneer has the advantage of conserving the dental capital as much as possible, many studies show that it only decays 6 to 11% of the dental capital.
The advantage of this preparation is that it is located on the outermost part of the tooth, namely the enamel, which offers important adhesive properties allowing it to last well over time.
