Veneers — fine shells, but clarify the cause first
Veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells for the visible front teeth. Especially with ground-down or worn front teeth, we first clarify the background — otherwise you only treat the symptom.
A beautiful front — but why are the teeth worn?
Veneers can elegantly balance small flaws on the front teeth. But if the front teeth are ground down or shortened, there is often an overload behind it — such as nocturnal grinding or a misloading of the masticatory system. Then the wear is a symptom whose cause should be clarified first.
So that the result lasts
Before we work on the visible front, we check the interplay of jaw, muscles and bite. If an overload is overlooked, even new veneers can be damaged again. That's why, with worn front teeth, functional diagnostics come first.
Good to know
Why so much preliminary clarification?
Because veneers on overloaded teeth can chip off again. Clarifying the cause protects your result.
Does a lot need to be ground down?
Veneers are very thin — we approach the tooth substance as gently as possible.
Are the shells visible?
Well-made veneers look natural and are hardly noticeable in everyday life.
Aesthetics on a healthy foundation
Once it's certain that the function is right, we plan the veneers carefully in shape and colour. This creates a natural result that not only looks beautiful but also lasts.
Frequently asked
Are veneers right for me?
That depends on the findings. With worn front teeth we first clarify the cause — sometimes another path makes more sense.
What if I grind at night?
Then that should be treated first, for example with a splint. Otherwise new veneers risk the same damage.
How long do veneers last?
With healthy function and good care, many years. That's exactly why we clarify the strain beforehand.
Worn or unattractive front teeth?
We look not only at the appearance but also at the cause — for a result that lasts.
