Definition of dental veneers
When to use dental dental veneers?
Unlike a crown that completely covers the tooth surface, the dental veneer is a prosthesis whose main objective is to correct aesthetic defects. Thus, it makes it possible to hide imperfections such as:
- Stained teeth: because of tobacco, tea, coffee, medicines
- Dull teeth, often consequences of aging
- Misaligned teeth: slightly overlapping incisors, dental spacing (diastema)…
- Damaged teeth.
- Unbalanced Aesthetics: teeth too long, too short.
There are few contraindications to the installation of dental veneers. They are mainly not recommended for young people whose jaw has not finished to grow. Patients prone to severe attacks of bruxism (teeth grinding) are also led to choose other more appropriate solutions: implants, crowns, whitening, etc. It is after an initial examination by the dentist that a personalized treatment plan can be defined.

Here are the general steps to perform a dental veneer:
- initial consultation: Before starting the treatment, the dentist will perform an examination of your teeth and gums as well as an aesthetic analysis, It is very important to understand the wishes and expectations of the patients to be able to advise them on the different therapeutic options.
- Simulation: Before moving on to the tooth preparation phase, the dentist can use a computer simulation to visualize the final appearance of the veneers and ensure that the result is as expected by the patient. This step ensures that the veneers will look the way they want once installed. It is also possible to carry out an aesthetic test directly in the mouth with the realization of a dental mock-up.
- Preparation of teeth: Before laying the veneers, it is necessary to remove a thin layer of email to create space for the veneer. This step is performed under local anesthesia.
- Taking impressions and manufacturing veneers: Once the tooth is prepared, the dentist will take an impression of the teeth and send it to a dental laboratory for the manufacture the veneers.
- Veneer installation: Once the veneers are ready, the dentist will place them on the teeth by bonding them with aspecial adhesive.

A lasting result
A ceramic dental veneer has an average lifespan of 10 years. By adopting good oral hygiene, it can reach 20 years or more. Veneers are therefore particularly durable prostheses. They keep their appearance for many years. They are also resistant. In addition, they are as easy to maintain as “natural” teeth. Simply brush them daily, in the same way as the rest of the teeth, and visit your dentist once or twice a year for a check-up. Thus, you are sure to keep a harmonious, balanced, and healthy dentition for a long time.
