If you care about your smile, maybe you\u2019ve heard of veneers<\/a>. After all, these amazing shells can revamp your grin from the ground up! However, do you know the underlying history of dental veneers? They\u2019ve been a viable dental treatment for longer than most would think. Plus, only in recent years did the shells take their current form. If you want to learn more, your Arnold dentist will explain. Read on to learn about the creation and rise of dental veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1920s: The Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers actually got their start with the rise of films. Invented by dentist Charles Pincus in 1928, they were made to improve actors\u2019 appearances. The layers would help leading men and ladies look nicer for movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, these first veneers weren\u2019t long-lasting. Dr. Pincus used a short-acting adhesive to keep them on one’s teeth. As such, they always fell off within hours of placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1930s-1940s: Slow Buildup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The actual design of veneers changed very little at first. Dr. Pincus developed acrylic models in 1937, but these depended on the same unstable adhesive. In short, veneers still couldn\u2019t help peoples\u2019 smiles permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, this period saw a boom in veneers\u2019 popularity. As the public realized the Hollywood elite used veneers, it wanted the shells as well. The result was that dentists began making veneers from porcelain and composite materials. (These materials led to more natural-looking prosthetics.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1950s-1980s: The Rise of Etching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the next big breakthrough in veneers wouldn\u2019t come until 1959. At that time, Dr. Michael Buonocore invented etching \u2013 a process that creates porous surfaces for restorations. By applying a mildly acidic solution to enamel, it formed deeper pits and grooves on teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it\u2019d take some time before etching was used for veneers. The Simonsen and Calamia Research Group only tried doing so in 1982. By then, they\u2019d proposed using etching and bonding resins to improve veneers\u2019 longevity. The effects were as expected: patients could now secure the shells for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Present Day: Modern Dental Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technically, dentists still use the etching and bonding methods from the 80s. What\u2019s different, however, is that they\u2019re used for veneers with dental-grade porcelain. Consequently, today\u2019s treatment results look highly lifelike and last for 30 years or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, dentists haven\u2019t given up on progress. Dental experts currently think new tools will create stronger and lighter veneers. More specifically, they view computer-aided design and manufacturing as part of the next generation of veneer work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the history of dental veneers is surprisingly varied. Try honoring it by seeing your dentist for the shells soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
