What are dental faces

The dental veneers are thin ceramic or composite foils applied on the front surface of the teeth. They are used to modify the shape, color, size and proportions of the smile, maintaining a result as natural as possible and consistent with the patient's face.

Compared to dental crowns, veneers generally require a more conservative preparation of the enamel, although the choice of treatment always depends on the clinical situation. Before proceeding, it is necessary to assess the state of teeth, gums, occlusion and possible presence of habits such as bruxism.

The design must be precise: a face does not only serve to make a tooth lighter or regular, but to put it in a harmonious, functional and sustainable smile over time. For this reason, at Studio Stere the treatment is evaluated within a complete aesthetic and clinical plan.


 

When dental veneers can be indicated

The dental veneers in Lecce at Dental Stere Study can be considered in different cases, especially when the patient wishes to improve the aesthetics of the front teeth without resorting to more invasive treatments.

Cheated or fractured teeth

When an anterior tooth has a splinter or a small fracture, the face can help restore the shape, continuity and visual harmony of the dental element, if clinical conditions allow it.

Deep Disciples

Some color alterations do not respond sufficiently to tooth whitening. In these cases, the faces can help get a more uniform and integrated shade with the rest of the smile.

Uneven or disproportionate teeth

Shape, length, width and profile of the teeth affect a lot on the balance of the smile. Facets can correct small aesthetic irregularities, always in compliance with naturalness and dental structure.

Small diasthys and slight malpositions

In the presence of small spaces between the front teeth or slight malpositions, the faces can improve the apparent alignment of the smile. In cases most suitable for orthodontics, the study can assess a path with transparent alignments.


 

The clinical path: from digital design to application

Treatment with dental veneers at Studio Odontoiatrico Stere follows a structured path, designed to help the patient understand each stage before starting.

Aesthetic visit and clinical evaluation

The first phase involves the analysis of the smile, the proportions of the face, the state of the teeth and the gums. The patient's aesthetic expectations are also considered, which must be realistic and compatible with the clinical situation.

Digital Design

The digital design of the smile allows to study the shape, proportions and harmony of the teeth before treatment. The Digital Design can help the patient visualize an aesthetic proposal and participate more consciously in therapeutic choices.

Preliminary Mock-up

When indicated, the mock-up allows you to temporarily try in the mouth the shape of the designed smile. It is a useful phase to evaluate aesthetics, phonetics and comfort before proceeding with the final treatment.

Preparation and fingerprint

The preparation of the enamel is carried out in a controlled and limited way to what is necessary. Afterwards, through intraoral scanner, a precise fingerprint is acquired, useful for the realization of the faces.

Application of veneers

The veneers are cemented with adhesive technique, after color control, shape, margins and occlusion. The goal is to obtain an integrated result with natural teeth and consistent with the patient’s smile.

Ceramic or composite face: which to choose

The choice between ceramic veneers and composite veneers depends on the clinical case, the type of aesthetic defect, the patient's expectations and the desired duration of treatment.

Ceramic Faces

Ceramic veneers offer high chromatic stability, good pigmentation resistance and a very natural aesthetic. They are made in the laboratory and generally require more appointments. They can be indicated when you want a wider and more stable aesthetic rehabilitation over time.

Composite faccette

Composite faces are made directly in the studio, often in one session. They can be useful for smaller corrections, but require more careful maintenance and can have lower chromatic stability than ceramics.

During the aesthetic visit, Dr. Nicolò Stefanelli evaluates the most suitable solution according to the patient's conditions, avoiding standardized approaches and preferring a truly personalized plan.


 

How long do dental faces last

The duration of dental veneers depends on the material used, the quality of adhesion, oral hygiene, periodic controls and patient habits. Ceramic veneers can remain stable for many years, but are not an eternal treatment and require care over time.

Correct professional dental hygiene, programmed controls and attention to everyday habits help preserve the aesthetic and functional result. In case of bruxism, the use of a personalized night bite can be indicated.


 

Behavior to avoid after treatment

After applying veneers, it is important to avoid biting hard objects, opening packs with teeth or exercising excessive pressure on the front teeth. Uncontrolled bruxism can also increase the risk of chipping, wear or detachment.

It is advisable not to skip periodic controls and maintain good home hygiene. Facets, although resistant, remain part of an oral balance that must be monitored over time by the clinical.

When evaluating dental faces

It can be useful to book an aesthetic visit dental veneers in Lecce if the color, shape or proportions of the front teeth are no longer harmonic, if there are visible splinters, small spaces, deep discromies or slight irregularities of the smile.

Clinical evaluation is essential to see if the faces are really indicated or if another treatment is preferable, such as tooth whitening, transparent alignments, aesthetic reconstructions or a combined route.
