Ceramic coating, which is applied especially in cases where intraoral aesthetics are at the forefront, provides a long-term use thanks to its non-discoloring structure. Ceramic coating, which is very successful in eliminating intraoral defects and providing high strength to the teeth, is one of the most preferred methods in smile design.
In addition to the beautiful appearance, it also provides the restoration of intraoral function losses caused by tooth deficiencies.
What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic veneers are dental veneers that have a natural appearance especially close to the tooth and are therefore preferred in cases where aesthetic concerns are a priority. Ceramic veneers, which are applied especially to the front teeth, are popularly called "porcelain veneers" and are divided into different types according to whether the material used contains a single type of material or infrastructure material:
Porcelain Laminate
These veneers, which are placed as a very thin layer on the tooth and also called leaf veneers, can be prepared in the desired color. It is especially applied on the front teeth and used in aesthetic smile design. It does not contain metal and shows high resistance to breakage. For this reason, it is very successful even in the correction of discolored or broken teeth.
Zirconium Veneer
These veneers are made of white-colored zirconium metal that exists in nature and are applied to the front and back teeth. The zirconium veneer, which is extremely robust, also has an aesthetic appearance and has a very good intraoral harmony.
Metal Backed Plating
This veneer, which is supported by different metals as well as porcelain during the construction phase, is used to restore the necessary durability and function to the tooth. Metal-supported veneers, which are highly compatible with tooth tissue, have a matte and light-impermeable color. For this reason, it is not suitable for the front teeth where aesthetic beauty is at the forefront, but it can be preferred upon request.
Full Porcelain Veneer
Full porcelain veneer, also known as empress or full ceramic veneer, is a durable and natural-looking veneer type that uses only porcelain in its construction. It is obtained as a result of giving high strength to porcelain material suitable for natural tooth structure and is therefore very long-lasting.
The intraoral bio-compatibility of the ceramic crown, which is easily applied on crooked, broken or deformed teeth, is very high.
This application can also be used in caries and tooth deficiencies that cannot be treated with classical filling methods. Ceramic veneers are a durable type of dental veneer that is preferred both for the recovery of lost oral functions and for aesthetic smile design. It is usually applied to patients who want to have a crown closest to their own teeth.
