Porcelain veneer or porcelain laminated veneers is a thin shell of porcelain / ceramic that is bonded onto the front surface of a tooth so to improve its cosmetic appearance. They will repair teeth that are discolored, worn down, chipped or broken, misaligned or irregularly shaped tooth. They are translucent, thin laminates made to improve the esthetics (shape, spacing, color) of your natural teeth, to correct crowding, or to replace composite bonding.
At Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, all porcelain veneers will be done by our cosmetic dentists, who were graduated directly in field of cosmetic dentistry. They are a major part of our practice. We are one of the very few dental clinics in Thailand with its own in house dental laboratory, so nothing has to be sent out thus delaying your treatment. Our in-house dental lab combines high tech equipment with experienced dental technicians, to guarantee that all of our dental makeover are made to exact specifications. We can ensure that all dental works are customized made to your special needs, produced quickly and efficiently, and offered at competitive prices. Most dental clinics have to outsource these needs to separate facilities – sometimes even to other countries, giving you a more “mass manufactured,” less personal result, rather than an independent, customized result that we can give here at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic. |
 What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are wafer-thin (approx. 0,5 mm) translucent porcelain / ceramic facings made in the dental laboratory after an impression. They are fixed permanently to your tooth's front surface using a special adhesive method. The porcelain veneer covers the visible surface of the tooth completely. The chemical bond between porcelain and enamel creates a translucent, tooth-shaded unit with perfect natural aesthetics.
What advantages do ceramic veneers offer?
In comparison with traditional crowns, veneering is much more conservative, and only minimal substance is removed from the tooth. In addition, veneers are robust and long-lasting.
The main advantage, however, lies in the veneers' outstanding aesthetics, which are by far superior to that of metal core crowns. In comparison to a crown, the transitional area of the wafer-thin porcelain facing is almost invisible and needs not be placed under the gums. Gingivitis, receding gums, and exposed crown margins are problems often associated with crowns, but not with veneers.
Veneers are the first choice when correcting the form of anterior teeth. They allow successful correction of tooth misalignment, gaps, form and shade, with superb aesthetics.
