What are veneers?
Veneers are thin overlays on teeth (0.2-1 mm). They are created to mask aesthetic defects of teeth and improve their appearance. It is a very minimally invasive form of treatment that borders the three areas of dentistry: prosthodontics, orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry. The procedure can be performed on one tooth or on a group of teeth.
Veneers are attached to a previously prepared tooth. This preparation involves minor grinding of the surface layer of enamel, but in some cases you can install the veneer without grinding down the teeth.
Veneers are similar to natural tooth enamel, but are not susceptible to caries and severe discoloration. With their help, you can perfectly reproduce the texture and shade of natural teeth.
Indications for placement of veneers
• Discoloration, stains, uneven color of teeth, multiple fillings visible. • Correction of tooth shape (lengthening, widening or narrowing). • Partial tooth reconstruction as an alternative to composite filling. • Correction of the surface of the teeth. • Correction of tooth position in case of minor malocclusions. • Elimination of diastema (gap between teeth).
It is important to remember that veneers improve the appearance of teeth, but do not eliminate the need for therapeutic or orthodontic treatment.
Contraindications for installing veneers
Veneers cannot be installed for various dental and periodontal diseases. Therefore, before the procedure, it is necessary to cure caries, gum inflammation and perform professional oral hygiene. Contraindications include malocclusion and bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep), which can cause damage to veneers.
How to install overlays
The procedure begins with a visit to the dentist. During the appointment, the specialist assesses the depth of the problem that the patient wants to correct through this procedure, and selects the required color for future overlays. The patient's bite must be taken into account. If an orthodontic defect is detected in the frontal region, the doctor will first carry out treatment by installing a brace system or mouth guards to straighten the dentition. When all problems in the oral cavity have been eliminated, the doctor proceeds directly to the installation, which consists of several stages:
- Planning. An impression is taken of the dentition and a diagnostic model of the onlays is made. Using a silicone key and a composite, the doctor reproduces the expected result in the mouth. As a result, the patient can visually assess the final appearance after veneering.
- Treatment. When the veneer layout is approved, the doctor prepares the teeth within the enamel layer with a marking bur.
- Casts. 0.3-1.5 mm of hard tissue is removed from the front surface of the dentition, after which impressions are made and temporary onlays are installed.
- Making ceramic veneers in a dental laboratory. Production time is 1-2 weeks. The finished design is tried on, if necessary, the product is adjusted and adjusted. Then the veneers are fixed using special dental cement, which reliably bonds the ceramics to the enamel.
As a result, the patient receives a snow-white smile and perfectly straight teeth, no different from natural ones.
But the quality of the result must be maintained by following the dentist’s recommendations for caring for veneers:
- Have regular dental checkups. You need to come to the doctor on the appointed dates to monitor the condition of the linings and the oral cavity as a whole, and to promptly eliminate any problems that arise.
- Professional cleaning. Once every six months, the patient must undergo professional deep cleaning of the enamel and surface of the veneers. To clean onlays, dentists use special gentle products that are not capable of harming enamel and veneers.
- Complete home care. First of all, it consists of rinsing the mouth with a solution or water after each meal to eliminate all contaminants. It is also recommended to use special hygienic foams that dissolve soft plaque throughout the day. It is recommended to use an irrigator that effectively removes bacteria and dirt in the most inaccessible places.
- Eliminate solid foods. Veneers in Voronezh are made from durable materials. But eating hard foods like candy, crackers or nuts can seriously damage them.
Following all recommendations will increase the service life of veneers and keep your smile beautiful and snow-white for a long time.
Types of veneers
There are several types of veneers. They differ in the material from which they are made, durability, duration of the installation procedure, and also price. During your consultation, your dentist will help you choose veneers that will suit you in all respects.
Porcelain (ceramic) veneers
Porcelain veneers are made from porcelain. This material is very durable and looks like natural enamel. It is durable (8-15 years), is not subject to discoloration, abrasion, and retains its shine. Ceramic veneers are very thin (from 0.3 to 0.75 mm). To install them, grinding of the teeth is necessary, during which about 0.5 mm of enamel is removed. This is quite a bit, the veneer will completely recreate the enamel layer.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are created from special materials similar to traditional fillings. This is a cheaper way to improve the appearance of your teeth, but is less durable than porcelain veneers. A composite veneer can change color over time, causing the tooth to look different from the rest. Therefore, you should visit your dentist periodically to have your veneers professionally cleaned. This type of veneers is not very durable (3-5 years), but with good dental hygiene and periodic dental procedures, the service life can reach 8-10 years.
Zirconium veneers
Zirconium veneers are made from zirconium dioxide. This is a very strong and durable material (from 10 years). It is translucent and looks like natural enamel. But the cost of this type of veneers is higher than others. In addition, installation requires a very high level of professionalism of dental technicians and dentists, since the material is processed using specialized equipment.
Veneers without grinding teeth (Lumineers)
This type of veneer installation is only used in certain cases. The patient should not have orthodontic problems, and the natural shade of the teeth should be light. Lumineers are thinner than regular veneers (0.2-0.3 mm), so they can be installed without grinding. After the procedure, the thickness of the tooth increases, but this is not noticeable from the outside.
Types of veneers
There are several types of dental veneers, differing in the material of manufacture, duration of installation, durability and cost. At your appointment, your dentist will conduct a consultation and select the most suitable dental veneers for your specific situation. In dental practice we use:
- Ceramic veneers or porcelain. Porcelain has an exact resemblance to tooth enamel and is highly durable. It does not change color during use and retains its natural shine for a long time, is abrasion-resistant and durable (8-14 years). Porcelain veneers are thin (0.3-0.7 mm), so installation requires grinding of the teeth, which removes about 0.5 mm of enamel.
- Composite veneers . They are made from composite filling materials directly in the dentist’s chair, excluding the laboratory stage of making onlays. Compared to ceramic veneers, such veneers are inexpensive, but they are also inferior in strength to their opponents. During use, compositors change color, so they will stand out among other teeth. Therefore, you will have to periodically have your veneers professionally cleaned by your dentist. Composite veneers are short-lived, their service life is limited to 3-5 years, but with proper care and periodic cleanings by a specialist they can last up to 8-10 years.
- Zirconium veneers . They are made from zirconium dioxide. The material is durable and highly durable, can last 10 years or more. It has a translucent structure, reminiscent of natural enamel. But zirconium veneers are among the most expensive veneers. Moreover, their installation requires high professionalism and extensive practice from the master, since processing is carried out on specialized equipment.
- Lumineers . Such veneers are used in limited cases. The patient's dentition should be light in color and orthodontic problems should be excluded. Lumineers are much thinner than other overlays - 0.2-0.3 mm, therefore they are installed without preliminary grinding. After the procedure, the increase in the thickness of the teeth remains unnoticeable.
How much it costs to install veneers in Voronezh depends on the type of veneers and the clinic. Our dentistry has affordable prices for such services and constantly holds various promotions that will pleasantly surprise you.
Indications for veneers
Installing veneers on the front teeth is recommended by dentists in several cases:
- discoloration, fluorescent spots and darkening of fillings;
- cracks and chips;
- progressive caries, surface abrasion;
- irregular shape;
- abnormal arrangement of teeth, the presence of spaces between them.
Veneers are recommended for patients whose teeth are naturally unattractive or have deteriorated due to injury or wear and tear of the enamel. In such a situation, dental onlays will mask any defects and help make the appearance of the oral cavity aesthetic and natural.
Contraindications for veneers
There are situations when veneers cannot correct irregularities in the shape or darkening of the dentition. Veneers are not placed in the following situations:
- total abrasion of the enamel, which is accompanied by a decrease in the height of the lower part of the face;
- severe forms of periodontal disease;
- severe malocclusion;
- advanced bruxism.
In each of these cases, it is recommended to first undergo therapy to eliminate contraindications. Only after treating dental problems can you consult with a specialist about the possibility of installing veneers.
