Teeth Clenching and Grinding

The habit of clenching and grinding teeth, known as bruxism, can shorten the life of dental veneers. This can lead to wear or damage to the veneers over time. Night plaques recommended by the dentist can reduce the effects of this habit and prolong the life of the veneers.

Dietary Habits

Hard foods can cause the veneers to wear or break. In addition, excessively sugary and acidic foods and drinks can also adversely affect dental health. Healthy eating habits contribute to the longevity of dental veneers.

Regular Dentist Check-ups

Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the condition of dental veneers and to detect potential problems early. The dentist will check the strength of the veneers and carry out maintenance or repairs if necessary. In this way, the life of the veneers can be extended.

Lifespan of Dental Veneers

In general, dental veneers made with high-quality materials can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer. This may vary depending on the patient’s oral hygiene and lifestyle. Veneers made at Premium Smile Studio can last for many years with proper care and regular check-ups.

Care of Dental Veneers

Some care recommendations to ensure the longevity of dental veneers:

-Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day.

-Avoid chewing hard foods.

-Avoid excessively sugary and acidic foods and drinks.

-Visit your dentist regularly.

What are the Types of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns can be made of different materials and each material has its own advantages. The types of dental crowns are selected according to the patient’s needs, aesthetic preferences and dentist recommendations. Here are the commonly used types of dental crowns:

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the veneers with the most aesthetically natural appearance. Porcelain veneers in tooth colour and transparency are preferred especially for front teeth. Thanks to its high aesthetic value, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from natural teeth. Porcelain veneers are also preferred because they are biocompatible and there is no risk of allergic reaction.

Zirconium Veneers

Zirconium veneers offer the perfect combination of durability and aesthetics. Zirconium is a very strong material and offers high resistance to chewing pressure. At the same time, zirconium veneers are tooth-coloured and have a natural appearance. Since they are lighter and thinner than other veneers, they can be applied with minimal intervention to the tooth structure.

Metal Supported Porcelain Veneers

Metal-backed porcelain veneers are veneers with a metal core on the inside and a porcelain coating on the outside. These veneers offer durability and aesthetics together. The metal core ensures that the veneer is strong, while the outer porcelain coating gives an aesthetic appearance. However, there is a risk that the metal will develop a grey colour on the gums over time.

Gold Veneers

Gold veneers are an extremely durable and biocompatible option for dental health. Gold veneers show high resistance to abrasion and are long-lasting. In addition, the risk of allergic reaction is also very low. Although it is less aesthetically preferred than other veneers, it is an excellent option in terms of strength and durability in the back teeth.

Composite Veneers

Composite veneers are tooth-coloured veneers used for aesthetic corrections. It is a more economical option compared to other veneers and can be applied with minimal intervention to the tooth structure. However, composite crowns are not as durable as porcelain and zirconium crowns and may show colour changes over time.
