With the advancement of technology and material knowledge, various materials have been preferred in terms of durability and aesthetics. Gold-containing alloys were among the oldest materials used in the past. But they were aesthetically limited. Ceramics are more preferred today. Ceramic materials are especially advantageous with their ability to accurately reflect tooth color. Zirconium-based or full ceramic veneers are state-of-the-art in terms of aesthetics and durability.
