You\u2019d like to have beautiful white teeth? Or would you like a solution for cracks between your teeth? Or would you like to have multiple broken teeth repaired? With help from facings, our dentists can refresh and improve your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A facing is a shell or layer of tooth-colored porcelain or composite that is placed by a Dentist over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct uneven tooth alignment, worn tooth enamel, discoloration or spacing, and chips or cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our modern dental practices at the Keizersgracht, Lassusstraat and Stadionplein in Amsterdam, you can make an appointment with a specialist to discuss your facing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two types of facings: composite and porcelain. With both, the principle is the same. Shells are placed over the teeth. There\u2019s a large difference between the type of materials that are used for facings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a difference in the treatment for the placement of porcelain and composite facings. Both require a short consultation before we can set up the appointment for placing the veneers. Composite facings can be placed in a single appointment whereas with porcelain facings two appointments are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porcelain facings are placed in two appointments. At the first appointment, an impression is taken of your teeth and together with the Dentist, you can decide on the color of your facings. The impression of your teeth is used in our laboratory by a dental technician to make porcelain facings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the second appointment, your teeth are prepared with an adhesive layer. The facings are then placed by the dentist. After the treatment, you can immediately enjoy having radiant teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facings made from composite can be placed within a single day. Together with a specialist you first choose the color of the composite facings. Then your teeth will be treated with an adhesive layer so that the composite can be placed successfully. The facings are then hardened using a special lamp. The last step involves shaping the facings in the desired form. Following the treatment, you can immediately enjoy your new radiant smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first days after treatment, you\u2019ll need to get used to the facings even though they\u2019ll feel the same as your natural teeth. This is definitely the case if the form of your teeth has been significantly altered. This can lead to temporary difficulties with speaking until your mouth is used to the new formation of your teeth with the facings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facings don\u2019t require special maintenance compared to natural teeth. We recommend that as with natural teeth to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Also use dental floss, sticks or interdental brushes in order to keep your teeth clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
