The major disadvantage remains the instability of the color and the early yellowing of the composite veneers.
By indirect we mean manufacturing that takes place in a laboratory. Ceramic veneers, as well as certain composite veneers, made by a master dental prosthesis craftsman, are custom designed. That is to say that, firstly, the cosmetic dentist makes a mold of your teeth in order to then apply veneers designed specifically for your mouth and the smile you wish to sport, both in terms of shape , size and shade of teeth.
Film veneers
As their name suggests, film veneers are extremely thin: their thickness is generally between 0.3 and 0.2 mm.

These veneers are made of ceramic and are as thin as contact lenses . Their thickness does not in fact exceed 0.3 mm and, as such, they fall into the category of so-called film veneers. Lumineers veneers require a manufacturing time of 4 weeks after taking a dental impression. Dental veneers can be placed on dental crowns or dental bridges without the need to replace them.

These 100% porcelain veneers. They are also very thin and do not exceed 0.3 mm in thickness. They are placed without anesthesia and completely painless. These veneers can be offered to you by your dentist. They are made in Belgium by the Glamsmile laboratory.
