What are veneers and why are they needed?
Veneers should be made to restore the aesthetic appearance of the smile. It is better to put them in pairs so that the teeth look the same. The pads look like real ones. Up to 10 teeth can be installed on both jaws.
Dental veneers are a type of prosthetics in which the front of the tooth is closed. As a result, it looks much more aesthetically pleasing.
Veneers are needed if:
- not satisfied with the natural color of their teeth;
- restoration of the integrity of the enamel is required;
- you need to change the size, shape of the tooth;
- correction of enamel abnormalities is required (for example, if there is hypoplasia);
- to eliminate interdental spaces.
Veneers mask any imperfections, making your smile beautiful.
For what purposes do dentists use veneers?
Dentists use veneers for dental prosthetics. Unlike crowns, they are placed only on the front of the tooth, hiding its flaws. Onlay teeth look aesthetically pleasing and natural at the same time.

The dentist can also prescribe them if there are large gaps between the teeth. In the clinic, onlays can be fixed on both the lower and upper teeth.

With fluorosis, white spots appear on the enamel, which then turn into brown ones.
How to care for veneers: how to care
It is best to use an irrigator to clean the pads. The device works better than a regular brush. The principle of operation is to supply liquid under pressure into the oral cavity.
Veneers should be worn if there is an indication for this. Basically, they are installed with an aesthetic function. But sometimes onlays made of ceramics or other white material perform other tasks, for example, restoring a part of a tooth.
How to take care of veneers
To prevent a rather expensive procedure from turning into wasted money, you should adhere to a few simple rules for caring for veneers:
1. Thorough oral hygiene. Regular teeth cleaning, the use of dental floss, rinse – these rules familiar from childhood allow you to preserve not only your own teeth, but also veneers.
2. The correct toothbrush. It should be of medium hardness, with bristles that will not leave scratches on the surface of the microprosthesis.
3. Maintaining the health of the gums. Gum inflammation can significantly shorten the life of veneers. At the slightest symptom of gum problems, it is better to seek the advice of your doctor.
4. Load on the front teeth – to minimize, or better – to exclude. This applies to eating hard vegetables and fruits, nuts, tough meat, and snapping seeds. It is better to train yourself to cut solid food into small pieces and use exclusively chewing teeth to chew it.
5. Quitting bad habits. And it’s not just about smoking. The habit of biting off a thread with your teeth, gnawing on a pen or pencil threatens that even the most durable material can crack.
6. Exclusion from the diet of foods with coloring pigments. This is especially true for the care of composite veneers, which are more amenable to darkening. Coffee, coloring drinks, cigarettes, over time, negatively affect the color of the tooth enamel. The problem is that veneers cannot be whitened like regular teeth.
7. Temperature differences. It is undesirable to drink ice cream with hot tea even for healthy teeth. Veneers are resistant to temperature changes, but do not test their strength in this way too often.
8. Dangerous sports. If you are engaged in boxing, hockey, martial arts, you should additionally secure your smile with protective devices – for example, mouthguards.
9. Periodic professional inspection. Do not neglect scheduled visits to the dentist. Examination, professional cleaning at least twice a year is a guarantee of dental health and a long service life of veneers.
