What is dental veneer?

Dental veneers are a solution that uses materials only 0.3mm thick to cover teeth with imperfections. Because the veneer is only 0.3mm thick, there is no need to reduce the original tooth size, preserving the natural tooth as much as possible and keeping the pulp completely unharmed.

Dental veneers effectively correct defects in molars such as tooth decay, chipped or broken teeth, gaps, misalignment, yellowing, or discoloration from antibiotics. These conditions affect the aesthetic appearance of the dental arch and impact bite and chewing ability.

Veneers are made with a frame and crown entirely from pure porcelain, giving them a natural color identical to real teeth. They have high strength and durability, so you can confidently chew hard foods without worrying about chipping or sensitivity. Crafted using the most advanced technology available, the finesse and precision are of the highest quality.

Comparison between Dental Crowns and Dental Veneers

Previously, dental crowns were the most effective method to fix molar damage. They were affordable and suitable for everyone. However, crowns can cause significant damage to teeth, which led to the development of dental veneers, gradually replacing the older method. Let’s explore the differences.

Dental Crown: low cost, many drawbacks

  • Requires reducing tooth size.
  • High aesthetic effect on tooth shape.
  • Lower safety, causing pain and sensitivity.
  • Risk of tooth damage, pulp inflammation, root necrosis.

Dental crowns use older tooth materials, with thick crowns and frames, requiring about 70% of the original tooth to be removed to fit the crown. This reduction process can cause pulp damage, pain, sensitivity, and the risk of root necrosis and internal tooth decay due to pulp death.

Dental Veneer: higher cost, many benefits

  • No reduction of the tooth, preserves natural tooth, protects pulp.
  • High safety, no pain, no tooth damage or pulp inflammation.
  • Enhances the overall smile aesthetics.
  • Permanent effect, lifetime durability.

How much does dental veneer cost?

Since veneers are only 0.3mm thick but still need to be strong, high-quality materials like full porcelain must be used, making the cost higher than conventional crowns. The price usually ranges from 4 million to 10 million VND per tooth. Compared to the value they bring—natural color identical to real teeth, high durability and strength, no chipping or sensitivity, high finesse and precision—the cost is worthwhile.

Where should you get dental veneers?

Because veneer technology is expensive and requires extremely thin teeth, it must be done using very specialized techniques available only in certain dental clinics. Fortunately, My Auris Dental Clinic has all of these technologies. You can visit My Auris branches in both North and South Vietnam to experience it.
