What do we know about facets?

Facets

Veneers are the jewel in the crown of aesthetic restorations. They are proven to be one of the most effective, beautiful and at the same time natural looking means of correcting imperfections in the smile in dentistry.

And their great advantage lies not only in their grace, but above all in their sustainability.

Inserting veneers?

It’s a fast, safe and proven way to achieve the smile you’ve been dreaming of. Whiter, shinier, with larger or finer teeth, flat, smooth – the choice is yours. Best of all, modern digital technology makes it possible to see your chosen veneers in advance and make adjustments to them until you finally approve them. Then – again thanks to modern laboratory methods – we will fulfil your wish to the last millimetre.

What are they?

These are extremely thin and fine ceramic or zirconia plates that are made in a dental laboratory from porcelain or composite specifically for your smile. They are bonded to the surface of the teeth and thus correct them until the desired colour, shape and overall appearance are achieved.

When are they recommended?

It should be clear that this is not a medical procedure, but an aesthetic one. It comes into play when cosmetic imperfections in the shape, texture or color of the teeth require correction.

However, it is important to warn from the outset that veneers cannot cure tooth decay, periodontal or orthodontic disease. For these cases we can offer other, equally effective and successful solutions.

What are the steps?

Steps of the procedure?

Veneer placement is not a complicated or invasive procedure, but it is important to have an experienced professional guide you through it. Here are the steps you will go through together:

Initial review

Your dentist will perform an initial examination, consultation, and assessment of your smile to determine if veneers are the right solution for you and whether any prior treatment is required before their placement.

Create a project

Thanks to the innovative Smile Design technology, we can create a preliminary design of your future smile. For this purpose, we will scan your oral cavity, and use the resulting images to visualize a model of your teeth after the procedure is complete. This way you can see in advance how you will look and approve the final look. And we guarantee that we will execute it to the last detail.

Professional cleaning

Before the start of the procedure, a careful and precise cleaning of the teeth is carried out. The goal is to remove any surface stains that are present at this time.

Determination of colour

The colour of the veneers is determined according to a well-established system, in which the patient’s wishes are central. The aim is to find the golden mean so that they fit as naturally as possible on the teeth and at the same time achieve the desired shade.

Enamel modification

For the placement of the facets, it is necessary to create the appropriate foundation. This is achieved by minimal filing on the surface of the teeth to be worked on. These modifications are quite tiny and do not damage the tooth structure – their depth does not exceed 0.3 mm.

Temporary veneers

After the procedure is complete, you will be fitted with temporary veneers that will be an exact copy of your permanent veneers. On the one hand, this is necessary to wait for the new ones to be made. And on the other hand – you will have the opportunity during this test period to make sure if this is exactly the smile you dream of and if necessary to request adjustments.

Placement of permanent veneers

The final procedure is mild and completely harmless. A special adhesive material is applied to the surface of the prepared teeth on which the prepared veneers are positioned. Curing with special equipment and light polishing follows. With this, the smile is complete, healthy and beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions

In recent years, veneers have gained great popularity as a method for correcting dental irregularities. Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask:

Does veneer placement hurt?

No. The procedure is completely painless, as local anesthesia or a minimally invasive technique is used. Patients usually only feel a slight sensation after the treatment, which quickly passes.

How long do veneers last?

With proper care and regular dental check-ups, veneers can last 10–15 years or even longer. Porcelain veneers have particularly high durability and color stability.

Do veneers damage the natural structure of the tooth?

No, because only a minimal layer of enamel is removed during placement (about 0.3 mm). This does not impair the health of the tooth, but creates a perfect base for the veneer.

Can I eat and drink anything after veneers are placed?

Yes, you can eat and drink normally. However, it is recommended to avoid biting very hard objects (such as ice or nuts) and excessive consumption of coffee and red wine, to maintain their color for as long as possible.

Do veneers look natural?

Absolutely. Modern materials - porcelain and zirconium - mimic the natural translucency, texture and shine of teeth. Thanks to digital planning, the color and shape are individually adjusted to your smile.
