PORCELAIN VENEERS

All-Ceramic Crowns and Bridges

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are aesthetic restorations that cover the entire tooth. They are known for their excellent strength and aesthetics, without the traditional metal backing.

What Is the Process? The creation and placement of veneers involves the following steps:

  1. Tooth Preparation: The dentist shaves down the tooth to remove the necessary amount of dental material.
  2. Impression: A detailed impression of the prepared tooth is taken.
  3. Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers made of resin material are placed while the permanent ones are being made.
  4. Final Bonding: After approximately one week, the permanent veneer is bonded to the tooth.

What Is Zirconia?

Zirconia or zirconium oxide is a naturally occurring mineral known for its hardness, strength and exceptional beauty.

Do Porcelain and Zirconia Provide a Natural Look?

Both types of restorations have a translucent core that allows light to pass through, just like a natural tooth. This results in a highly natural aesthetic effect.

Recommendations at the Dental Center of Athens

At the Dental Center of Athens, we recommend porcelain veneers as an excellent alternative to metal- ceramic crowns and bridges for those with high aesthetic demands.

Porcelain veneers are made exclusively from ceramic materials in a lab and are bonded directly onto the patient’s teeth by the treating dentist. Porcelain is considered the most aesthetic material with the highest durability.
