The aesthetic restoration of teeth that are spaced, crooked, yellow, or discolored and cannot be whitened at home is of interest to many people.

Let’s find out with BIK International Dental Clinic “How much does Veneer porcelain bonding cost?” in the article below!
1. What is Veneer porcelain bonding?
Veneer Porcelain is a modern cosmetic restoration method of the dental industry. With this method, a super thin layer of porcelain only from 0.2mm – 0.5mm will be fixed on the outer surface of the tooth with specialized glue. Veneer porcelain teeth, although thin and light, still ensure chewing function no different from real teeth. In addition, Veneer porcelain is also a solution to improve some defects on teeth such as yellowing, slightly spaced teeth, chipped teeth, etc.
2. Are Veneer Porcelains durable?
In case of good care and thorough cleaning, Veneer porcelain teeth can last up to 10-15 years. To prolong the life of this type of porcelain teeth, it is necessary to keep the teeth from becoming discolored by avoiding eating and drinking dark foods such as soft drinks, candy, smoking, etc.
3. Some popular types of porcelain veneers
Currently on the market there are 4 popular types of porcelain veneers:
3.1. Veneers Lingual/ Palatal
The structure of Veneer Lingual/ Palatal is similar to that of regular Veneers, but the difference is that the product is used for the back of the tooth. This is a special type of patch used to fix broken, cracked, worn enamel, etc. teeth without invading real teeth.
3.2. Veneer Emax
Veneer Emax is made entirely from pure porcelain, so it will have a color similar to real teeth, bringing high aesthetics. Porcelain materials are also tested to be safe, benign to the body, do not cause irritation and do not cause black tooth necks or discolored porcelain. Veneer Emax can last up to 15 years if well cared for.
3.3. Veneer Lisi Press
Lisi Press is a high-end, super-thin porcelain Veneer line with a good reflective effect like real teeth. The porcelain surface is also tested to be completely harmless to the body and has a load-bearing capacity of up to 400Mpa, so customers do not have to worry about breakage or chipping during chewing. The average lifespan of a Lisi Press porcelain Veneer is from 15 to 20 years.
