These are ceramic shields, as thin as nails, which are glued on the face of the teeth.

Advantages:

A veneer requires only a slight grinding of the teeth, with minimal loss of material. This is a clear advantage compared to crowns and bridges.

Indications:

• Strong discoloring, impossible to remove by bleaching
• Unsightly gaps
• Wear of the teeth’s cutting edges
• Permanent replacement of multiple composites
• Overly large teeth and volume corrections
• Restoration of the smile line with regard to the upper lip
• Receding gums

Counter indications:

• Damaged or repeatedly filled teeth
• Bruxisme: uncontrolled teeth gnashing, especially at night
