Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are a revolutionary solution in the field of cosmetic dentistry, used to renew the appearance of natural teeth that show imperfections. In Costa Rica, our clinics offer porcelain and resin veneers, known for their ability to aesthetically transform many smiles.

What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin laminates that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are used to correct various aesthetic issues such as misaligned, stained, discolored, or gapped teeth. They are especially valued for their minimally invasive approach compared to other restorative options.

Benefits of Dental Veneers

• Immediate Aesthetic Improvement: Veneers provide a quick and notable transformation, aligning the smile and eliminating visual imperfections.

• Preservation of Tooth Structure: Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal removal of tooth enamel, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.

• Durability and Resistance: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last between 15 to 20 years, while resin veneers have a durability of about 5 to 7 years.

• Complete Customization: Each veneer is custom-made to match the color and shape of the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a natural and harmonious result.

Types of Dental Veneers and Their Advantages

• Porcelain Veneers: Made from a durable ceramic material that resists stains and mimics the natural luster of tooth enamel. Ideal for more significant restoration cases, they offer a long-term solution with an appearance indistinguishable from natural teeth.

• Resin Veneers: Less expensive and can be made and applied in a single visit. Although not as durable as porcelain, they are easier to repair and require less tooth preparation.

Process of Applying Dental Veneers

• Initial Consultation: Evaluation of the patient’s dental health and discussion of aesthetic goals.

• Tooth Preparation: Light carving of the enamel to ensure a perfect fit for the veneer.

• Dental Impression: Taking molds that will be sent to the laboratory for the manufacture of the veneers.

• Trial and Adjustment: Once the veneers are ready, a trial is conducted for final adjustments before permanent cementation.
