Veneer porcelain for 2 front teeth is an aesthetic restoration method that helps overcome defects on teeth that make customers feel less confident when smiling. Not only bringing natural aesthetics like real teeth, Veneer porcelain focuses on trying to preserve the maximum enamel of the tooth that needs to be veneered, preventing the tooth structure and pulp from being affected by the tooth grinding process. Therefore, the porcelain veneer is usually only about 0.3 – 0.5mm thick but still has the ability to withstand good chewing force thanks to being made from high-quality porcelain material.
1. In which cases can porcelain veneer be applied to 2 front teeth?
Porcelain veneer can be applied to 2 front teeth in the following cases:
1.1. Porcelain veneer for 2 front teeth with gaps
The condition of gaps between teeth is very common in the front teeth group. Although it does not affect the chewing function, the gap between the 2 teeth will make it easy for food to stick in the gaps between the teeth, causing loss of aesthetics. Veneer porcelain is often applied in cases where the distance between teeth is not too large, usually less than 2mm.
1.2. Discolored front teeth
In cases where the front teeth are discolored or yellow due to eating a lot of dark-colored foods or smoking regularly, Veneer porcelain can also be applied to improve aesthetics.
1.3. Chipped or broken front teeth
Porcelain veneers can cover chipped or broken teeth and protect the dentin inside. However, this method is only suitable when the front teeth are only slightly chipped or broken. If it is more severe, the doctor will usually prescribe porcelain crowns.
1.4. Short front teeth
Front teeth are often larger and longer than the other teeth, creating a prominent, fresh look for the face. If the customer wants to restore a short tooth to be more confident with their smile, Veneer porcelain is a very suitable solution.
2. Should I get porcelain crowns or veneers for my two front teeth?
Although both are cosmetic porcelain restoration methods, porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers have distinct differences. To know whether to get porcelain crowns or porcelain veneers, customers can consider the following factors:
2.1. In terms of the rate of preserving real teeth
In cases of broken or slightly cracked teeth, it is completely possible to apply porcelain veneers to improve them. At this time, the doctor only needs to grind away a very thin layer of enamel on the tooth surface to create roughness to help the veneer be firmly fixed to the tooth.
If the tooth is severely broken, the porcelain veneer will no longer be able to adhere firmly to the tooth, so it is very easy to peel off after a period of use. At this time, porcelain crowns will be used to protect the tooth from damage, while improving the ability to chew effectively.
2.2. Regarding the condition of tooth enamel
To use porcelain veneers, it is necessary to ensure that the enamel on the back of the tooth is not damaged. Because Veneer only covers the front and the back will not be protected. In case the front enamel is worn too much (>50%), the customer should also proceed with porcelain crowns to ensure safety.
2.3. In terms of oral health
Before applying porcelain veneers or crowns, oral diseases such as tooth decay, pulpitis, periodontitis, etc. must be thoroughly treated. Otherwise, the disease may worsen after restoration, making treatment more difficult and causing prolonged pain for the patient.
2.4. In terms of tooth color
In cases where the front teeth are discolored or heavily yellowed, porcelain veneers should not be applied. The thin layer of porcelain veneer will not be able to cover the black or yellow color of natural teeth.
3. Advantages of Veneer Porcelain for 2 Front Teeth
Some outstanding advantages of the Veneer porcelain bonding method can be mentioned as follows:
3.1. High aesthetics
As the optimal solution when customers need to improve the defects of the 2 front teeth, Veneer porcelain veneers can bring very high aesthetics. With the color adjusted to match and naturally resemble real teeth up to 99%, Veneer porcelain veneers help customers have confidence when smiling every day.
3.2. Maximum preservation of real tooth enamel
The most outstanding advantage of the Veneer porcelain veneer method is the maximum preservation of real tooth enamel. Because the veneer is only about 0.3 – 0.5mm thick, the doctor only needs to grind a thin layer of enamel to create roughness to help the veneer firmly on the tooth, thereby avoiding the case of the tooth structure being invaded during the grinding process, causing many other serious complications.
3.3. Ensuring chewing function
Thanks to its thin, light design, the Veneer porcelain surface does not cause any entanglement or discomfort when used. However, the porcelain surface can still withstand the large biting force of the front teeth, helping customers comfortably eat their favorite foods.
3.4. Outstanding durability
The Veneer porcelain surface is made entirely from high-quality pure porcelain material, so it has outstanding durability and the ability to withstand force twice that of real teeth.
4. How much does it cost to have 2 front teeth veneered?
To bring the above outstanding advantages, porcelain veneers must be crafted with strict requirements in terms of materials, equipment and supporting technology. Not only that, this method requires a highly skilled doctor to bring maximum efficiency. Therefore, the price for a porcelain veneer on the market today is not low, but it is completely worth the benefits it brings.
So how much does a porcelain veneer cost per tooth? At dental clinics, the price ranges from 6,000,000 – 12,000,000 VND/tooth. At BIK International Dental Clinic, customers can choose to have an Emax porcelain veneer for 6,000,000 VND/tooth with a 5-year warranty.
5. How long does porcelain veneer last?
How long porcelain veneer lasts depends largely on the quality of the veneer used. Normally, if porcelain veneer is well cared for after restoration, it can last up to 15 years. Therefore, customers should choose to have porcelain veneers applied at reputable dental facilities, committed to importing genuine materials to make veneers from abroad to ensure the quality of the veneers.
So porcelain veneers for 2 front teeth are considered the optimal solution for those who need aesthetic restoration. This method focuses on preserving the maximum enamel of the real tooth that needs porcelain veneers but still meets the aesthetic needs and chewing function like a normal tooth. For the porcelain veneer process to be safe and effective, customers should choose a reputable dental facility with a team of highly skilled and qualified doctors.
