Question 1

What are veneers?

Accepted Answer

Veneers are thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to change their color and shape. The basic principle is the same for all types of veneers – the differences lie in the material, the thickness, and whether the natural teeth need to be ground down beforehand.

Question 2

What are conventional veneers?

Accepted Answer

Conventional veneers are made of high-quality ceramic and are custom-made in a dental laboratory. Compared to crowns, veneers require less removal of natural tooth structure.

Question 3

What are Lumineers?

Accepted Answer

Lumineers are a special type of veneer that are particularly thin and gentle. They are bonded to the teeth without any grinding and are therefore reversible.

Question 4

What are non-prep veneers?

Accepted Answer

Non-prep veneers are another variant in which the natural teeth also do not need to be ground down. They are an alternative to Lumineers and are custom-made.

Question 5

What are composite veneers?

Accepted Answer

Composite veneers are made of a tooth-colored plastic that is applied directly to the teeth. They are less expensive than ceramic veneers, but not as durable.
