How to repair a missing piece of tooth

In fact, many people nowadays begin to neglect their own bodies, and even ignore their own health problems. This will directly lead to the occurrence of some conditions, which may cause a piece of tooth to be missing. Let us learn about the advantages of repairing a missing tooth.

Key benefits:

Safety

Less tooth tissue is removed. Porcelain veneers require less tooth tissue to be removed, and in some cases, no tooth tissue needs to be removed at all. This can preserve a large amount of tooth tissue, does not require nerve killing, and basically controls the sequelae of full crown restoration such as postoperative pulp inflammation and necrosis, thereby maintaining the long-term health of natural teeth.

Beautiful

The simulation effect is good. The simulated cosmetic effect of porcelain veneers has the same optical properties as natural tooth tissue, does not contain any metal components, and exhibits the best aesthetic effect. The black gum lines that are common in porcelain teeth will never appear. There are a variety of different colors of porcelain blocks to choose from when making porcelain veneers, and external dyeing can be used to fine-tune the color. During clinical bonding, there are a variety of adhesives of different shades and white opaquers that can be used to assist in adjusting the color of the porcelain veneer to achieve an overall coordinated cosmetic effect. In addition, the high wear resistance and non-staining nature of porcelain itself can make porcelain veneers achieve a permanent whitening effect.

healthy

Less irritation to gums. Porcelain veneers have excellent light transmittance, and the tooth can be prepared flush with the gums. This is beneficial for protecting the gums and making impressions and bonding porcelain pieces. The area that connects with the gums is only on the lip side, which reduces irritation to the gums. There will be no gum discoloration caused by metal ions in metal porcelain teeth. The hardness of porcelain crowns is greater than that of tooth enamel and can cause wear on opposing teeth. The hardness of porcelain veneers is slightly lower than that of enamel, and can effectively protect the opposing teeth.

Comfort

No foreign body sensation in the mouth. Traditional porcelain tooth restorations require grinding off the natural teeth on the lingual side, while the teeth on the lingual side are usually healthy and in the most coordinated state with the tongue and opposing teeth. Even the best metal-ceramic teeth cannot return to the state of their former natural teeth. Porcelain veneer restoration basically does not require grinding of the lingual part of the teeth, and can preserve most or even all of the lingual shape, effectively protecting the opposing teeth. At the same time, the tongue still touches the intact natural teeth, which has a natural and comfortable touch, avoiding the "foreign body sensation" when the tongue touches traditional porcelain teeth. Therefore, porcelain veneers have good comfort.
