How Dental Veneers Came To Be

In the early days of dental veneers, they were made from a variety of materials, including ivory, bone, and mother-of-pearl. These materials had to be individually cut to fit each patient's mouth and then glued into place. The results were often less than ideal and the veneers would frequently come loose or fall out. It wasn't until the late 1920s that dental veneers made from porcelain became available. Porcelain is designed to be a much more durable material than ivory or bone, and it can be molded to fit the contours of a patient's teeth much more precisely. Today, dental veneers are still made from porcelain, and they’re an effective cosmetic dental service!
