History of Dental Veneers

Veneers are a thin piece of material (usually porcelain) placed over the tooth to improve aesthetics and protect the tooth’s surface from damage. Veneers can also be composite.

The Invention of Dental Veneers

California dentist Charles Pincus invented veneers in 1928. They were created for a film shoot to change the appearance of the actor’s teeth. In 1937, Pincus maybe acrylic veneers with dental adhesive that were temporary.

The Introduction of Etching

In 1959, Dr. Michael Buonocore introduced etching of porcelain veneers to improve bonding. In 1982, research by Simonsen and Calamia found that porcelain veneers could be etched with hydrofluoric acid and the strength of the bond could be stable enough to attach permanently.

Improved Cements and Bonding Agents

Today’s veneers last between 10-30 years, and this is thanks to improved cements and bonding agents. Sometimes veneers need to be replaced because of cracking, chipping, discoloration, or injury to the veneer from grinding or other injury.
