EDT Natural facing

A facing, also known as a veneer, is a thin layer of ceramic or composite that is applied to or over the teeth to achieve aesthetic improvements. Facings can be made in various materials and techniques, with the most common choices being ceramic and composite.

Composite versus Ceramic
A composite facing is often made directly in the mouth by the dentist. Ceramic facings, on the other hand, are made in a specialized laboratory by skilled technicians on a model. This ensures a better fit and a more refined aesthetic, depending on the skills of the ceramist. Ceramic facings are generally more durable than composite, as they are less prone to wear and staining. They maintain their appearance and functionality significantly longer, making them ideal for long-term aesthetic improvements.

Applications and Benefits
Facings are often used for teeth that are broken, too short, too long, crooked, have an irregular surface, or are discolored. They provide an excellent solution for people who do not want braces but strive for uncompromising results in both aesthetics and function. Facings can also serve as an alternative to orthodontic treatment without braces.
An important advantage of facings is that less tooth tissue needs to be ground compared to crowns. In some cases, no tissue from the teeth needs to be removed at all to achieve an optimal natural and aesthetic result. This depends on the insights and techniques of both the dentist and the dental technician.

The Latest Generation of Facings
With the latest generation of facings, it is possible to achieve a beautiful result without pain and in a minimally invasive way. The facings are simply placed over the teeth without much tooth tissue removal. However, in cases where teeth are severely damaged or already have large fillings, facings may not be applicable. In such cases, crowns may provide a better solution.

Durability and Lifespan
EDT facings and veneers can have a lifespan of 15 years or longer with regular maintenance and good oral hygiene.
