Dental veneers are the solution to many problems experienced in the mouth today. Dental veneer treatment is used in the formation of serious erosion in the tooth. The most preferred veneers today are zirconium veneers. Since it can last much longer, zirconium has replaced porcelain with the development of technology.
How are Dental Veneers Made?
Dental veneering is a procedure that takes 2-4 sessions and the teeth are prepared before the veneer. After the measurement taken is prepared as metal or zirconium, a rehearsal is made. However, in patients with metal allergy, veneers with porcelain veneers with a metal surface on the bottom are inconvenient. In these cases, zirconium material is used. As mentioned above, zirconium veneers are the most preferred dental coatings today.
Zirconium is bone-colored by nature and has 80% light transmittance. Therefore, it looks like one's own tooth. With the porcelain coating applied on zirconium, the tooth can be given an even more realistic appearance.
Some patients may require root canal treatment before dental veneers.

There is a risk of fracture if the veneered teeth are overloaded, but the broken veneer can be repaired again. If care is taken after dental veneers and the veneers are used carefully, they can be used for 5-15 years. The durability of zirconium veneers and accordingly the duration of use is much longer.
