What are Tijuana Veneers?

White Hollywood Smile.

In Cosmetic Dentistry Tijuana, veneers are pure ceramic thin pieces of dental porcelain used to recreate the natural look of your teeth, either to improve the aesthetics or to protect the surface of the tooth from damage such a grinding, etc. Veneers Tijuana are generally used for aesthetic proposes, to recover discolored or misshapen teeth, change tooth shape and size.

Tijuana Dental veneer (sometimes called porcelain veneer or dental porcelain laminates) are thin, custom- made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are strong bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length. Light-sensitive resin cement is placed between the natural tooth and the veneer to bond them using a led curing light.

To apply a veneer, a very small amount of the original tooth enamel must be removed. This is essential as it creates room for the porcelain veneer to fit within the mouth and most accurately restore natural tooth function while creating an aesthetic and healthy appearance.
