Veneers impress with their natural appearance
With facing shells, known as veneers, we correct discolouration, gaps or irregularities in the anterior region. These delicate ceramic shells, faithfully modelled on the tooth in shape and colour, are made individually for you.
Veneers are suitable for correcting individual teeth as well as complete rows of teeth. As only minimal preparation of the tooth surface is needed, healthy tooth structure is preserved. Our aim is perfect aesthetics while preserving valuable tooth structure as far as possible.
Inlays are tooth-coloured fillings
Inlays can be made of composite or ceramic. Ceramic inlays are produced in the laboratory and are characterised by their long durability and very good tolerability.
The key facts at a glance
- Veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells that are bonded to the front of visible teeth.
- They correct discolouration, small gaps and irregularities in the anterior region.
- Veneers require only minimal preparation of the tooth surface - healthy tooth structure is largely preserved.
- Inlays are tooth-coloured inlay fillings made of ceramic or composite that are produced in the laboratory.
- Ceramic inlays are characterised by long durability and good tolerability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers?
Very thin ceramic shells that are made individually for your teeth and bonded to the visible front surface. They correct colour, shape and small gaps.
Does the tooth have to be ground down for a veneer?
Only minimally. Just a thin layer of the tooth surface is prepared so that the veneer fits – considerably less than for a crown.
What is an inlay?
A filling made in the laboratory that is bonded precisely into the tooth. Ceramic inlays are tooth-coloured, well tolerated and long-lasting.
Can several teeth be treated with veneers?
Yes. Veneers are suitable both for individual teeth and for a complete visible row of teeth. What makes sense in your case, we discuss beforehand.
