Can veneers replace missing teeth?

Veneers cannot treat missing teeth. A tooth is needed for veneer treatment. If the tooth is missing, there is no surface for the veneer to adhere to.

However, this does not mean that you cannot have a beautiful and complete smile. With the right treatment plan, you can replace your missing teeth.

What are the treatment options for missing teeth?

There is more than one way to compensate for tooth loss. The most advanced of these are implant treatments, which are referred to as the gold standard. Dental lamina veneers are not among the treatments we will discuss here. Instead, your dentist will offer you the option of dentures, dental bridges or dental implants. Let’s see how these treatments work.

Dental bridges

It is used for the treatment of the gap between two intact teeth. The procedure involves reshaping two intact teeth and attaching a customised prosthesis to them. Although dental bridges do not offer a very long lifespan, they provide an improvement in aesthetic appearance.

Dental implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth that has a screw instead of tooth roots that look like natural teeth. This screw is fixed to the jawbone to act as a tooth root. At the end of the six-month healing period, a dental crown is placed. It is almost similar to a natural tooth in function and appearance. For this reason, dental implants are the most functional treatment used in missing tooth treatments.

Dental implants have changed over the years to meet the needs of patients and have been developed with new methods. You can choose dental implants for single missing teeth (single dental implant) or multiple missing teeth (All on 4, All on 6, All on 8, 3 on 6).

All on 4 dental implants

All on 4 dental implants Antalya supports the entire set of teeth with 4 dental implants. Imagine that your upper teeth are completely missing. After placing 4 implants at strategic points, we fix all your upper teeth to these implants.

All on 6 dental implants

All on 6 dental implants Turkey are also used in complete tooth loss. This time 6 implants are fixed in the jaw. After healing, a set of teeth is placed on it.

Dentures

Dentures are removable artificial teeth that can replace all the teeth in a jaw or just a few missing teeth. Their biggest disadvantage is that they are more distant from aesthetics and functionality, and their lifespan is shorter. It provides a suitable option for individuals looking for an affordable solution.

When is veneer treatment done?

Conditions in which veneer treatment is applied:

• The teeth to be veneered must be natural teeth.
• Broken, cracked, dark yellow, or stained teeth.
• Teeth with exposed roots due to gum recession.
• Slightly crowded teeth.
• Very small teeth.

Can missing tooth treatment be combined with a veneer?

Veneers are not used in the treatment of missing teeth. Veneers are thin structures, leaf-like. These should be bonded to a natural tooth. However, some patients can receive both implant and veneer treatments by choosing Smile Makeover Antalya.

After having their missing teeth treated with implants, patients have veneer treatment of the same tooth tone as their natural teeth. In this way, all teeth are renewed in one day. If you are planning to get Smile Makeover treatment in Turkey, contact us.
