How is Porcelain Veneer Made?

Before the porcelain tooth coating is applied, the teeth in the application area are cleaned with the help of special tools. Afterwards, the tooth is thinned as necessary so that the veneer can fully fit into the mouth.

After thinning, the molding process is performed and the coating form that will fully fit into the mouth is determined with 3D imaging techniques. In the meantime, the images and the mold are sent to the laboratory with the desired dimensions, then the production steps of the coating are started.

It may take several days for the veneers to be prepared, so a temporary veneer is applied to the area so that the patient can use their teeth comfortably. With the preparation of the porcelain veneer, a new session is held and the temporary veneer is removed and the porcelain veneer to be replaced is rehearsed.

If there is no problem with the veneers controlled by the dentist, the veneer is sent to the laboratory for polishing and placed in the patient's mouth with its final form. Special adhesives and devices are used at this time.

Who is Porcelain Veneer Applied to?

Although porcelain veneer is a preferred application primarily because of its aesthetic appearance, it actually serves a functional purpose such as saving the patient's tooth. The following are the cases where porcelain veneer is applied:

  • Healing large cavities
  • Strengthening aged teeth with large fillings
  • Making a bridge application
  • Protecting the root canal treated tooth
  • Treating cavities that cannot be treated with normal fillings

Filling is useless if the tooth decay is overgrown and cannot be saved with conventional fillings.

Because advanced caries cause the filling to not work over time and increase the sensitivity of the tooth.

In such cases, it is possible to fix the problem by having a coating. Although the life of the applied coating varies depending on the alloy content and the way of use of the patient, it is around 15-20 years on average.
