There are several things to take into account when deciding what kind of veneers you want to have done. Together with your dentist, you may decide on the option that best fits your needs in terms of budget, ideal appearance, and, of course, the type that is suitable for your particular dental situation.
When we talk about the types of veneers, we are referring to the material that they are made from. Nowadays, there are numerous types of veneers available on the market. Let’s have a look at permanent veneer types;
- Composite Resin Veneers
- Porcelain Veneers
- E-max Veneers
- Vita Suprinity Laminate Veneers
- CEREC Veneers
- Empress Laminate Veneers
Most Turkish dentists recommend porcelain and composite veneers for their patients. Both of these components are also utilised in a variety of other veneers, including E-max, zirconia, and resin veneers.
Which Veneers Are Best For Me?
The different materials used when making veneers have different properties. To ensure you get the best treatment possible when you get dental veneers in Turkey, your dentist will assess your oral health and the reason for your getting veneers.
Porcelain Veneers
Your dentist will recommend a porcelain veneer if you want the veneers to improve the size, shape, or colour of your natural teeth. The thin, translucent material is resistant to staining and is more durable than composite resin, as well as having a durability of 10 – 15 years.
Although porcelain will bring you a natural-looking smile, it does have disadvantages. Some of the enamel on your natural teeth will be filed off, with in turn means that this is an irreversible solution. You will have to replace them when they reach end-of-life.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are great for hiding fillings and chipped teeth. If you have undesired spacing between your teeth, composite veneers are an option. They also assist in giving your teeth an aligned appearance and covers staining.
While porcelain veneers are cemented to your teeth, composites are bonded. This means your natural teeth only need to be “roughed”, removing less enamel, so there is the advantage of less damage. The application process is quicker with the veneers fitted in just one visit. The lifespan is shorter and you can expect 5 -7 years before they will need to be replaced. Composite veneers could change their shade over time.
E-max Veneers
This ceramic veneer is popular thanks to its strength, functional and translucent properties. These veneers have the most realistic appearance currently on the market. The process of having these veneers fitted takes a little longer, but once they are fitted you can expect them to last 10 – 15 years.
Laminates
The laminate is a porcelain veneer that does not alter the shape or structure of the tooth when it is applied. It is considered an advanced form of porcelain veneer that is achieved in one visit to the dentist. In addition to being extremely thin, they are preferred by those who wish to avoid invasive and permanent procedures.
They are, however, more prone to damage and are not suitable to cover very discoloured teeth.
