A facing is a thin shield made of composite or porcelain that is placed over the tooth. For example, facings can be used to repair gaps between teeth or broken teeth, repair broken corners, whiten discolored and yellow teeth and make crooked teeth appear straight. But also if you do not want to wear braces later in life, but want to correct your crooked teeth, facings are the solution. A new layer is made over your teeth from composite or porcelain. You can discuss the color of the facings with your dentist so that they match the rest of the teeth.
With a facing made of composite, the dentist has to grind less of your tooth. The result is immediately visible after the treatment. You choose the color of your new facing in consultation with the dentist. The dentist can show you the effect of this immediately. The dentist then grinds off a thin layer of your tooth to make room for the facing. Installation can often be done in one session, so a good result can be achieved quickly and cost-effectively.
Porcelain facings have a long lifespan and do not discolor. A porcelain facing is made in a dental laboratory and is more resistant to deposits on the teeth. A porcelain facing is also somewhat thicker than a composite facing. You choose the color of your new facing in consultation with the dentist.
