What are the dangers of dental veneers

Many people are familiar with dental veneers. Dental veneers are a method of teeth whitening. There are many types of dental veneers, and the materials are also different. Generally speaking, as long as you choose regular products, the impact on your health will be relatively small. The most important thing is not to go to some unqualified dental clinics for this treatment. Inferior products may cause certain harm to your health.

Dangers of dental veneers

1. Quality hazards

Since veneers are shaped using solid materials and then pasted onto teeth, if the quality of the selected materials is not up to standard, there will be problems such as highly toxic adhesives, excessive metal content, and aging and falling off of veneers, which are harmful to teeth and even the body.

2. Technical hazards

If the doctor's skills are not up to standard or resin material is used for veneers, black lines will easily appear between the veneers. In order to avoid this phenomenon, many doctors will press the veneers tightly against each other and against the gums. This is likely to cause swollen and painful gums, and in severe cases may damage the tooth roots. This is another possible hazard of dental veneers.

3. Note

Dental veneers are divided into porcelain veneers, hard veneers and resin veneers. The dangers of getting dental veneers include possible discoloration, so you should take good care of your oral cavity after getting dental veneers, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth on time. It is best to have an oral health check once a year or six months, which is also good for teeth whitening. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for an examination first, and then choose a teeth whitening method that suits you based on your own dental condition.

Types of dental veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneer is a restorative method that uses adhesive materials to fix a thin layer of artificial porcelain restoration to the labial surface of the affected tooth to cover defects such as defects and discoloration that affect the appearance. Its production process is relatively complicated, and it has very high requirements on technology and materials. It has a high degree of simulation, excellent aesthetic effect on teeth, and the material is stable and durable.

As a conservative restorative treatment method, it has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. It is particularly suitable for cosmetic restoration of young permanent teeth and front teeth with larger pulp cavities. Ceramic veneers are the most mainstream method of restoration in the foreign dental beauty industry, and of course the cost is relatively high.

Hard veneer

This technology is also called hard resin veneer, super porcelain veneer, and porcelain-like veneer. The material of tooth whitening veneers is a large amount of porcelain powder particles added to the resin, which not only improves the wear resistance of the resin, but also greatly improves the aesthetic performance of the resin. The clinical operation process is similar to that of porcelain veneers.

Resin Veneer

The biggest advantage of veneers made directly with resin in the patient's mouth is that they are convenient, quick and rapid. It can quickly improve the aesthetics of a patient’s front teeth. For patients with fluorosis on front teeth, mild tetracycline-affected teeth, small teeth, gaps between teeth, partial defects of traumatic teeth, etc., if the patient cannot afford the cost of porcelain veneers and super-ceramic veneers in the short term, it can be a transitional restoration for short-term improvement of aesthetics.
