What is Veneer Crown, How is it Applied?
With the progress of technology and studies in the dental area, different treatment methods are carried out. One of these treatment methods is Veneer Crown. It has a surface covered with porcelain or ceramics and a metal-supported structure. It is a veneer that is applied to severe physical loss or missing teeth.
They are applied to ensure and protect the integrity of the teeth when problems such as decayed teeth, large fillings or fractures are encountered. Teeth are shaped and reduced before veneer is performed. Then the tissue of the tooth to which the veneer will be made is removed.
The crown veneer, which is elaborately and carefully prepared in the clinical environment, is bonded to the front surface of the tooth and the process is terminated.
Since the adhesive used during the procedure is specially produced, it does not separate from the tooth in any case. Although the duration of diagnosis and application varies from person to person, it is approximately 2 weeks.
Veneer Crown is a treatment method that can be applied for all age groups. However, it is applied taking into account the general condition of the teeth. For example, the gums of the patient with tooth loss are first checked and then the Implant is applied. If it is necessary Veneer Crown is applied on this implant. Veneer Crown is also applied to lengthen the stump teeth.
Who Is the Veneer Crown Treatment Suitable For?
It is used for teeth with excessive tissue loss and to maintain the intact tissue of the tooth after filling. If the tooth to which the operation is applied cannot be fed enough after root canal treatment, the tooth tissue is protected by covering it with crowns. It is also preferred to prevent the problems of patients with gum problems from increasing.
It is applied on the implant in patients with tooth loss. It is very preferred for smile aesthetics. If most of the tissue is lost during root canal treatment, Veneer Crown is applied to protect the tooth.
With these applications, the life of tooth and dental tissue can be extended by 15-20 years. Veneer Crown can be applied to protect oral and dental health and to prevent major problems that may occur.
What are the Materials Used in Veneer Crown Construction?
There are many alternative materials used to make Veneer Crowns. The most popular of these alternative material types is porcelain veneer crowns with metal support. This safe material, which has been used for many years, is also widely known as ‘porcelain veneer’.
It is obtained by placing porcelain material on the metal infrastructure. This material also has one without metal support. Glass ceramic veneers are the most used material for aesthetics. Offering a natural look, this material is not resistant to the posterior teeth.In addition to these two materials, there are also jacket crowns, metal and zirconium supported ones too.
While Jacket crowns are preferred in temporary crown productions, zirconium supported crowns are extremely successful in aesthetics. Metal crowns, on the other hand, do not offer an aesthetic appearance, although it is used in teeth grinding patients.
