Veneer Crafting: The Smile Makeover

Abstract

ABSTRACT The appearance of dentition is of concern to a large number of people seeking dental treatment. The color of teeth is of particular cosmetic importance. There has been a recent increase in interest in the treatment of tooth staining and discoloration. Veneers are a conservative method for the treatment of esthetic and functional problems in the anterior region of the oral cavity. Since its introduction in 1938 by Charles Pincus, ceramic veneer restorations have proven to be durable and esthetic restorative procedures for treatment of teeth. Ceramic veneers are more conservative than crowns and maintain the biomechanics of an original tooth, with a success rate of approximately 93%. Due to that, the indications of this procedure expanded to a point where its use is now a common practice in dental clinics. This article highlights on veneer crafting and its approach toward smile makeover. How to cite this article Pant M, Raisingani D, Madan N, Khurana D, Srivastava H, Somani N.
