What about Veneers?

Veneer is meant for Aesthetic purposes. It is a thin shells made of ceramic material which are bonded to the front surface of teeth (due to their thickness of only 0.3 – 0.6 mm, they are comparable to contact lenses). Stained or slightly malpositioned teeth, or fractured front teeth can be treated with Veneers. Besides, Veneers are firmly attached to the surface of your teeth when you decided to reshape or have better colour of your teeth without having to sacrifice trimming much of your own tooth structure.

They offer a wide array of possibilities to fabricate the restoration that suits best the case at hand. One system to cover all indications in fixed prosthodontics: that‘s IPS e.max!
