Dental veneers in Medellín

Transforming your smile with Dr. Carolina Bermúdez

Do you want a more attractive and long-lasting smile?

Dental veneers in Medellín are the ideal solution for you. These thin porcelain shells adhere to the surface of the teeth to correct a wide range of imperfections, such as:

  • For stained or discolored teeth, dental veneers can cover stains caused by coffee, tobacco, red wine, or tetracycline, restoring your teeth to a white and bright color.
  • For misaligned teeth or gaps, dental veneers can help correct slightly misaligned teeth or small gaps between them without the need for orthodontics.
  • For worn or fractured teeth, dental veneers can restore the shape and size of worn or fractured teeth, improving aesthetics and chewing function.
  • For teeth with irregular shapes, dental veneers can modify the shape of teeth with irregular forms, such as square or pointed teeth, to achieve a more harmonious smile.

At the dental clinic of Dr. Carolina Bermúdez, a specialist in dental veneers in Medellín, we offer you personalized and high-quality treatment. Below, we present a complete guide to this treatment:

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are more than simple shells that adhere to teeth; they are personalized works of art that transform smiles naturally and durably. Made from high-quality porcelain or composite, they are custom-designed for each patient, considering the shape, color, and texture of their original teeth, as well as facial aesthetics and specific needs.

This minimally invasive process not only improves the appearance of the teeth but also boosts self-confidence and quality of life. Veneers can correct a wide range of imperfections such as stained, worn, chipped, misaligned teeth, or gaps between them.

How are dental veneers placed?

The placement of dental veneers is a simple process that takes two or three appointments. In the first appointment, Dr. Carolina Bermúdez will evaluate your case and take the necessary measurements to fabricate the veneers. In the second appointment, the veneers will be permanently placed.

The dental veneer placement process is as follows:

  • The tooth is prepared by lightly removing enamel to ensure proper adhesion of the veneer.
  • Next, impressions of the tooth are taken to fabricate a custom veneer.
  • The veneer is fabricated in a dental laboratory with the selected color and shape.
  • We try the veneer on the tooth to verify that it fits properly.
  • Finally, the veneer is permanently placed using a special cement.

Resin vs. E-Max Porcelain

Dental veneers are thin shells that adhere to the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They are an excellent option to correct various aesthetic problems such as stained, worn, broken teeth, or gaps between them.

There are two main types of veneers: Resin and E-Max porcelain. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages:

Resin veneers

  • Made of a plastic material.
  • They can be applied directly in the dental office in a single session.
  • More affordable than E-Max porcelain veneers.
  • Less durable than E-Max porcelain veneers, with a lifespan of 5 to 7 years.
  • They offer a natural aesthetic result but may be more prone to staining and losing shine over time.
  • They can be easily repaired in the dental office.

E-Max porcelain veneers

  • Made from a type of high-strength ceramic.
  • Two appointments are required: one to take impressions and another to place the veneers.
  • The cost is higher than resin veneers.
  • Greater durability than resin veneers, with a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
  • They offer a more natural and translucent aesthetic result, similar to the natural enamel of the tooth.
  • They are more resistant to stains and wear than resin veneers.
  • In case of breakage, they generally require the fabrication of a new veneer in a dental laboratory.

Which type of veneer is best for me?

The choice of veneer type will depend on various factors such as:

  • Your aesthetic needs: if you are looking for a highly natural and durable result, E-Max porcelain veneers are the best option. If your budget is tighter, resin veneers can be a good alternative.
  • Your lifestyle: if you consume teeth-staining drinks or foods such as coffee, tea, or red wine, E-Max porcelain veneers are more recommended.
  • Your budget: resin veneers are more affordable than E-Max porcelain veneers.
  • We try the veneer on the tooth to verify that it fits properly.
  • Finally, the veneer is permanently placed using a special cement.

It is important to consult a dentist who can advise you on the most suitable type of veneer for your particular case.
