VENEERS IN AESTHETIC DENTISTRY: ADVANTAGES AND COMPLICATIONS
Keywords:
veneers, aesthetic dentistry, dental restorations, ceramic veneers, composite veneers; clinical complications; minimally invasive dentistryAbstract
Veneers have become a cornerstone of modern aesthetic dentistry, offering minimally invasive solutions for improving tooth appearance, color, shape, and alignment. This article reviews the clinical applications, advantages, and potential complications associated with dental veneers. Emphasis is placed on the differences between ceramic and composite veneers, their preparation protocols, longevity, and patient satisfaction. The study also analyzes common risks, including tooth sensitivity, marginal discoloration, and veneer debonding. Overall, veneers provide an effective approach to achieving aesthetic and functional dental outcomes, although careful case selection, material choice, and clinical
technique are critical to minimize complications and ensure long-term success.
