Veneers or porcelain facets are thin ceramic sheets between 0.8 and 1.5 mm. of thickness that, adhered to the front surface of the teeth, are capable of completely modifying their shape, texture, color and size.
In the presence of aesthetic anomalies that compromise the appearance of the person. Below we present various
clinical conditions susceptible to this type of dental restoration:
Diastemas or interdental spaces.
Pigmentations or irreversible stains.
Mild malpositions.
Black triangles or gingival embrasures.
Coronary fractures.
Alterations in shape, color and size.
Old or defective restorations.
Need for permanent bleaching.
In 85% of cases it will be indispensable to make a little wear. Otherwise, a restoration with unacceptable over-contour would be generated, or with insufficient ceramic´s thickness, weak, with high risk of fracture and unable to mask the aesthetic background defect.
Although the longevity of IPS e.max® ceramic will always depend on multiple factors such as oral hygiene, compliance with periodic checkups and control of occlusal habits, among others; we estimate that between 10 and 15 years will be the lifespan for the vast majority of our designs.
We always entrust our work to the cementing agents of the 3M multinational. RelyX™ Ultimate is an innovative adhesive resin cement and dual polymerization that was developed thinking exclusively about the own needs of vitreous ceramics, and that consequently, guarantees us an excellent clinical performance.
Thanks to this new system, our patients can always be calm, confident and proud of their new smile.
