What is a Veneer (Crown)?

The application that protects the tooth due to reasons such as breakage, decay, discoloration, visual disturbance and excessive gaps in the tooth is called veneer. 

There are many types of coating available. The most appropriate one is selected and applied according to the patient’s needs. Some of the coating types are:

Metal Backed Porcelain Veneer

The inside of the coating is metal. The outer part is covered with porcelain. While shaping was done with the method called pouring in the past, now with the help of technology, better results are obtained with the freeze method. In the Freeze method, everything is sized properly as it should. 

It becomes ready for use in 4 sessions at the latest. In this process, the tooth is measured, the metal structure is shaped, the porcelain surface is made and the process is finished with the final proof.

Full Ceramic Dental Veneer

This coating method is very effective in patients with aesthetic concerns. It is especially applied on anterior teeth. It is an alternative for anterior teeth that are not suitable for laminate production. As with other coatings, no substance is applied to the inner part of the tooth. It does not cause discoloration around the teeth due to its light transmittance. In addition, the filing and cutting process of natural teeth is minimally applied in the full ceramic tooth coating method. It provides a great advantage in this respect. 

It provides application area in single tooth applications, fractures, anterior teeth. 

Zirconium Supported Veneers

It is the most compatible veneer method to the gums.

 Thanks to its light transmittance, the zirconium material allows the tooth to breathe and prevents dullness. While zirconium coating is done, it is obtained by coating the lower support part with zirconium upper layer or porcelain coating. Zirconium does not contain metal. Since it is white in color, it is more natural to catch. 

With the precision of the dentist, it is attached to the damaged tooth and seated. It is absolutely indistinguishable from a natural tooth. 

Even in implant applications, zirconium-based coating can be applied. 

Porcelain Laminate Veneer Coating

It is also known by names such as half tooth, leaf coating. There are many patients who have this coating method, especially for aesthetic concerns. 

When applying porcelain laminate, cutting and thinning is not applied to the tooth. The tooth surface and edges are filed very little. Then a dental impression is taken and digital tools are frequently used in this application. The measurement taken is shaped by considering the patient’s request and facial structure. Finally, the thin lamina is precisely adhered to the tooth and the dentist performs his art. Its fragile nature can be deceiving. However, after it is adhered to the tooth, it feels the maximum level of strength. 

Do Veneers Damage Teeth?

The veneer method applied to the tooth is, in a way, to protect the tooth. While doing this, processes such as thinning, reducing, rasping are performed on the tooth. Although these are not good for the natural tooth, they are done to save all or the rest of the tooth. The material used is also important in protecting the tooth. 

Why Are Coatings Different?

One type of coating is not sufficient in line with the requirements and demands. It is not possible for the aesthetic need and the obligatory coatings to be the same. The coatings, which are named after the material used, are also separated according to the properties of the material.
