Tooth Veneers

• Broken and functionally uneven teeth
• Teeth that have undergone many procedures such as root canal treatment and filling
• Stained and yellow teeth
• Teeth of unequal shape and size

Those who experience the above situations and want to be part of the aesthetic appearance can benefit from this treatment. Elit Klinik physicians, who want to treat the patient’s teeth with care, are waiting for you with an easy treatment process .

It takes 4-5 days to make the models whose measurements are taken and three-dimensional design is made. At the end of these days, it takes only 15-20 minutes to attach the lamina dental veneer to your tooth.

Especially veneers made of zirconium are highly aesthetic and natural. They are also biocompatible with your mouth and teeth. The life of the veneer tooth lasts for 10-15 years depending on your use. Then your treatment needs to be renewed.

The lifespan of veneers usually ranges between 10-20 years. In a scenario where you come for regular oral care check-ups, your doctor will let you know when you need to replace your veneers. Dentistry has become more modernized with technology. If you have metal-backed veneers in your mouth that were used 10 years ago, you may want to replace them.

If you feel a sensitivity in your teeth after this procedure, remember that this is a temporary situation . The sensitivity you will experience after dental veneers will disappear within 2-3 days.

You may want to renew or remove dental veneers due to some problems. For example, you may have experienced gum recession and tooth decay. At Elit Klinik, we remove them from your teeth using two methods. The first method is to apply a downward tugging force with a pointed tool called a crown remover . The second method is to cut the prosthesis into pieces. This method is used if we are not going to use the crowns again and there is no problem in breaking them.

Empress veneers are the most natural looking veneers used today. It does not create an opaque image on the tooth with the amount of light it passes compared to zirconium veneers, whose substructure is zirconium and porcelain. In this process called full porcelain veneers, a natural appearance is obtained by using porcelain. Full porcelain veneers can be applied by shrinking the tooth and putting a tooth on it. It can also be bonded only to the upper level of the tooth with the bonding method. This process is also called nail or leaf laminate.

The cost of the material used in this type of treatment is higher than metal-backed veneers. These veneers made of zirconium mineral are durable for a long time. They are suitable for those who want a natural and aesthetic smile with their transparency and whiteness.

The differences between zirconium and full ceramic (E-Max) veneers are physical durability and aesthetics. Zirconium is more durable than porcelain. However, E-max veneers are the most ideal solution in terms of aesthetics. The tooth to be treated should be analyzed very well by the physician. It is ideal to apply zirconium coating to a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment, filling, fractures and cracks.

After the teeth to be veneered are reduced in size, temporary teeth are placed in the mouth. Temporary teeth are similar to new veneers, but they are not exactly the same. You may experience cold and hot sensitivity while the temporary teeth are in your mouth. Difficulty in chewing can be observed until the permanent teeth are made. For this reason, hard foods should be avoided until the process is over. After the permanent crowns are placed, tooth sensitivity may continue for a while. However, you will start to feel normal after 1 week at the latest.

We recommend eating at least 2 hours after the veneers have been glued. Do not consume excessively hard foods, especially in the first 24 hours. We recommend soft foods until you get used to your new veneers, which are still adapting to your palate.

Some teeth need to be reduced before veneers are placed. During this procedure, the teeth are numbed with local anesthesia . In this way, you will not feel pain and soreness. After the teeth are reduced, they should be covered with temporary prostheses. If this is not done, the gums will not heal properly.

Problems arising from the root of the tooth can be observed in teeth with veneers. Problems caused by gum recession can be seen. It is possible to prevent these problems with regular physician control.

Patients who are not satisfied with the appearance of their teeth but do not have a functional problem can have veneers. Laminates are a method used in smile design applications. Contrary to popular belief, the tooth surface does not need to be abraded to bond the laminate. Because the special adhesives used adhere to the tooth enamel. If the tooth is to be covered as a whole, there is a reduction . Other than that, there is no harm in having a veneer.

You may experience mild pain and tooth sensitivity after getting a veneer. But remember that this is a temporary process. New teeth trying to adapt to your mouth structure may be putting pressure on your gums. This situation will completely disappear in the following days.

Care of veneers is done with toothpaste and a toothbrush, as with normal teeth. You can also clean between the teeth with dental floss and mouthwash. You should not forget to brush the inner and back parts of the teeth.

Until your veneers are designed, you may have difficulty chewing with the temporary teeth in your mouth. Within 1 week at the latest, your permanent veneers will start to adapt to your teeth. Chewing tests will be performed before your treatment is completed. If a high or abnormal chewing movement is observed, your doctor will solve this problem immediately. But in general, chewing with veneers is normal.

Yes, it does. If you suffer from bruxism, that is, if you clench/grind your teeth at night, you can damage your veneers. To prevent this, ask your dentist to design a special protective dental plate for you.

New generation veneers do not show any discoloration on the tooth surface. The surface of zirconium is very smooth. It does not have a porous structure. In other words, it is impossible for colored liquids and foods consumed to stick to the tooth surface and leave traces.

Consuming things like cigarettes etc. after having dental veneers can damage the veneers. For this reason, we recommend you to quit smoking. Acidic drinks/foods such as coffee and tea may cause abrasion problems on the veneers. Stain problem can be seen on abraded surfaces. Because the area allows stains to adhere to the surface.

After getting veneers, you may have difficulty pronouncing some words, but this is completely temporary and normal. This will disappear when the veneers get used to your mouth. This takes about a few weeks. If the problem persists, we recommend that you consult your dentist.

After root canal treatment, do not start eating until the effect of the anesthesia has completely worn off. This period usually lasts for a while.

This is important to protect your teeth and prevent possible damage during treatment.
