Feldspathic Veneers in Barrio De Salamanca

What are Feldspathic veneers?

Veneers are thin ceramic layer that are placed on the surface of the tooth to protect it and change its shape and color.

These veneers are adhered using resin cements that offer very long-term durability. Generally, the loss of veneers is due to poor design, poor adhesion, or incorrect occlusion.

What is an Ultra-Thin Veneer?

Ultra-thin veneers are extremely thin veneers of 0.2 to 0.5 millimeters that allow us to cover the tooth without the need to carve it, giving a very natural appearance. Since they don’t increase the thickness of the tooth, they don’t give a rabbit tooth appearance, and because they don’t need space due to their minimal thickness, we don’t need to carve the tooth.

However, your dentist should tell you if the ultra-thin veneer treatment is possible in your case.

And What are Feldspathic Veneers?

The feldspathic veneer is the material from which the ultra-thin veneer is made. Other materials such as lithium disilicate or zirconium require much greater thicknesses above 0.7 mm, which makes it necessary to carve the tooth.

The elaboration of the feldspathic veneer requires an experienced prosthodontist as they are made by hand on a plastic sheet, loading the feldspathic ceramic layer by layer, which creates incredibly beautiful and very natural effects. Although it is an extremely tedious work for the technician.

Spectacular Results with Veneers

The final result is spectacular, giving the impression that we are placing crystals in the mouth.

Although it may seem that this type of veneer is more fragile than others, it is not so. It’s true that during their handling and placement they are very fragile due to their thickness. But once cemented, it is very difficult to break them as they become like a second skin to the tooth and have no possible movement or flexion.

Although nowadays we tend to try to digitalize the entire veneer process, the planning of these veneers is digital and the mock-up test as well.

The final work of the veneer still depends on our master prosthodontist who elaborates each veneer freehand with their brush.
