Most people on Earth know what veneers are, as everyone has seen the perfect white smiles of celebrities. Today, veneers have become more accessible, and anyone can afford them. Let’s understand what types of veneers exist and how to choose the right option!
In the world of modern dentistry, there are numerous methods for achieving a beautiful smile, and one of the most popular is the use of veneers. Ceramic and composite veneers are two advanced technologies, each with its own advantages and ideally suited for specific patient needs.
Composite veneers are thin layers of composite material applied to the facial surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They are crafted by the dentist in the chair during a single visit, and their primary purpose is cosmetic smile enhancement by altering the shape and color of the teeth.
Ceramic veneers are thin ceramic coverings that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They are fabricated in a specialized dental laboratory based on individual impressions of the patient’s teeth. These are the type of veneers most commonly used to create that “Hollywood smile.”
