Veneers have been a popular solution to mask aesthetic flaws in our teeth for decades. They\u2019re often considered a staple to achieve the perfect smile that\u2019s part of beauty standards today. We see straight, white smiles on everyone from social media influencers to movie stars to the guy or gal next door. But did you know that veneers were intended for a movie star in the first place? Keep reading to learn more about the history of this popular cosmetic dental solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The 1920\u2019s: The First Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first veneers were fabricated in California by a dentist, Charles Pincus. In 1928 he made temporary veneers to perfect an actor\u2019s smile for a film set. Initially, they were made from acrylic and bonded to the front of the teeth temporarily with a special adhesive. More actors and actresses would use these for brighter smiles during scenes, then remove them afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1930s: New Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the decades following their invention, dentists realized that veneers could be helpful to people from all walks of life. In 1937 porcelain veneers were invented to appeal to a larger crowd. The new material could better match natural teeth and wasn\u2019t as noticeable. Veneers at this time were still considered temporary without a permanent adhesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1950\u2019s-1980\u2019s: Strong Bonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the late 1950s, Dr. Michael Buonocore introduced a new way to bond veneers to teeth called etching. During this process, acid was applied lightly to the surface of the tooth, resulting in deeper pits and grooves. This allowed the veneers to attach more firmly and stay in place longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, in 1982, this technique was improved further by the Simonsen and Calamia research group. They discovered that etching with hydrofluoric acid followed by bonding with a composite resin resulted in a practically permanent bond. This method was so effective that it\u2019s still used in dental procedures today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Further technological and dental developments have resulted in even more options for those wanting veneers. Unlike in the past, porcelain veneers are now no thicker than the width of a contact lens. They\u2019re also so durable now that they can last up to 20 years with the right care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been longing for a perfectly straight, white smile, then there\u2019s never been a better time to talk to your dentist about veneers! Start the process now and before you know it, you\u2019ll have a smile to compete with the stars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
