What is porcelain veneer?

Porcelain veneers are a solution that involves using a material as thin as 0.3mm to cover dental imperfections. Because the veneer is only 0.3mm thin, there is no need to extensively trim the tooth, preserving its natural structure and avoiding any damage to the pulp.

Porcelain veneers effectively address various dental flaws such as cavities, cracks, fractures, gaps, misalignment, yellowing, antibiotic staining, and more. These conditions can diminish the aesthetic appeal of one’s dental arch and impact bite alignment and chewing ability.

Porcelain veneers consist of a shell and core that are entirely made from pure porcelain, rendering a natural color that closely resembles real teeth. With high durability and strength, you can confidently enjoy chewing tough foods without worrying about chipping or sensitivity upon impact. Crafted using state-of-the-art technologies, they exhibit exceptional finesse and intricacy.

Comparison between Dental Crowns and Porcelain Veneers

In the past, dental crowns were the most effective method to address dental imperfections. They were cost-effective and suitable for a wide range of individuals. However, dental crowns did cause substantial damage to the teeth, leading to the emergence of porcelain veneers as an alternative that gradually replaced this conventional approach. Let’s explore the differences between the two methods

Dental crowns: Low cost, high damage

  • Requires extensive tooth trimming.
  • Highly effective in enhancing dental aesthetics.
  • Low safety profile, causing pain, discomfort, and sensitivity.
  • Risk of tooth decay, pulp inflammation, and tooth root damage.

Dental crowns use a material resembling the tooth’s core, with a thick core and shell, requiring significant tooth trimming (70% of the original tooth) to fit the crown properly. The process of tooth trimming is the primary cause of various risks. These include pulp damage, resulting in pain, discomfort, and sensitivity, along with the potential for root damage and the internal tooth decay caused by pulp death.

Porcelain veneers: High cost, many benefits

  •  No need to extensively trim teeth, preserving original teeth and protecting dental pulp.
  • High safety profile, without causing pain, tooth damage, or pulp inflammation.
  • Focuses on comprehensive smile aesthetics.
  • Permanent effectiveness, maintaining lifelong results.

How much does porcelain veneer cost?

Due to the porcelain veneer method employing an ultra-thin 0.3mm material while maintaining durability, premium materials like full porcelain are necessary. This leads to higher costs compared to traditional dental crowns. Typically, the cost of porcelain veneers ranges from 4 to 10 million VND per tooth. However, when considering the value they bring, factors like their completely natural color resembling real teeth, high durability and strength, resistance to chipping or sensitivity upon impact, and their exceptional finesse and intricacy are not fully captured in the cost.

Where should you get porcelain veneers?

Since the technology for porcelain veneers is relatively expensive compared to conventional methods and the veneers themselves are extremely thin, they require specialized fabrication techniques. Only a few specialized dental clinics have the capability to use these advanced technologies. Fortunately, My Auris Dental Clinic is equipped with all these technologies. You can visit My Auris branches in both the Northern and Southern regions to experience the process.
