In other words, it is an effective solution in case of misalignment or crowding of the teeth or the presence of gaps between the teeth, and generally, there is no effect on the teeth after installing veneers because the side effects are very mild.

The effect of veneers on the teeth can last for years without needing to replace or change any of them, and it also usually does not cause you any pain or discomfort. However, in some rare cases, there may be tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods after installing veneers, in which case it is necessary to see the doctor.

Types of veneers

Dental veneers are one of the modern methods of improving and treating teeth, and they have shown significant progress recently, and they have become available in more than one type, all of which have a number of important advantages that the patient usually needs. Certainly, at the Medical Center for Dental Care, there is more than one type of dental veneers, which allows you to choose the suitable type of tooth shells with your doctor.

Here are some types of dental veneers:

Composite veneers

It is considered one of the earliest types of dental veneers that became widespread, and it helps you get a beautiful shape for your teeth. It is also one of the least expensive tooth shells, and it can be installed on the same day. The doctor can also make some adjustments to it.

However, it has some drawbacks, including the color that does not match the color of the teeth, and stains may also appear on it if not properly cared for. You must ensure that your doctor’s skills are high to get it properly installed without needing adjustment.

Zirconium veneers

This type is one of the ceramic veneers, and this type is made of zirconium oxide. It has a high degree of strength and hardness, and it is suitable for modifying the shape of the damaged tooth. One of its most important advantages is that it is resistant to cracking or chipping, and it has a color degree close to the color of the teeth, in addition to its high durability.

The person may face some drawbacks of zirconium veneers, which is that adjustment after installation is difficult because it is too hard, and it generally does not suit the front teeth because its natural color may decrease in degree from the natural color of the teeth over time.

E-max veneers

This type relies heavily on the manufacture of lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, and it is one of the latest types of dental veneers available. It is distinguished by its color being suitable for the color of natural teeth, and it does not give a difference in appearance. It can also last with you for more than 10 years if properly cared for.

Many patients resort to e-max dental veneers to modify the shape of their teeth, but it requires several steps to get them. You must be careful when using them because they are less durable than other types, so they are prone to cracking, and it is difficult to remove them again from the teeth because it requires enamel reduction.

Lumineers

Getting a neat tooth shape without discoloration or gaps and other diseases that affect the appearance of the teeth has become easy through the installation of Lumineers. They are distinguished by their thin thickness, so you do not need much preparation of the teeth before installation, and they are also easy to adjust. They also do not cause any pain during installation.

The drawbacks of Lumineers include that they may be susceptible to cracking due to their thinness, and it is also possible that they may not be useful in the case of severe tooth discoloration. In some cases, they can also lead to gum problems if the teeth are not properly prepared before installation.

3n Veneers

Dental veneer techniques have witnessed significant development in the recent period, and one of these good changes was the emergence of 3n Veneers, which do not require any surgical procedure to be installed, and the teeth are also not reduced before placing them. This type of shells treats discoloration and also cracks in the teeth due to its high degree of transparency and strength.

The disadvantages of 3n Veneers are that they do not suit all cases, and you should consult your doctor if you intend to use them. They also require a few weeks to be installed, and 3n veneers are relatively expensive compared to other types.

Causes of tooth sensitivity after veneers installation

Dental veneers are one of the good medical procedures that allow a person to achieve the smile they want and get rid of dental defects or deformities that cause them harm and harm the teeth in the long run.

Usually, there are no problems or harm after installing dental veneers; in fact, the condition and appearance of your teeth improve. However, in some cases, the person may experience tooth sensitivity after installing veneers, and the causes are as follows:

1. Exposure to enamel loss: The person may need to reduce part of the tooth enamel by about 0.5 mm for the doctor to place the veneers on it. This is an important procedure when getting tooth shells, and after losing part of the enamel, the person may experience sensitivity to cold or hot things.
2. Presence of gum inflammation: In some cases, the gums become inflamed after installing the veneers, and one of its symptoms is the sensitivity that occurs in the teeth.
3. Unstable condition of the teeth: After any change that occurs in the tooth, the patient may need a period to achieve the proper bite on the teeth which does not increase the pressure on the current installations or existing shells, and therefore, their condition deteriorates. This type of cause can disappear quickly.

The installation of dental veneers must be under full medical supervision so that the doctor can identify any problems before installation and follow up with you on the condition of the teeth after installation, which reduces the chances of sensitivity occurring.
