Installation of veneers and lumineers

Veneers are thin ceramic coverings on the front surface of the front teeth to improve their aesthetic appearance. Veneers have a thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm and are made individually for each patient in a dental laboratory.

There are several ways to make veneers:

• method of layer-by-layer application of ceramics;
• pressing method;
• turning from a ceramic block using CAD/CAM technology.

Lumineers are thinner (up to 0.3 mm thick) ceramic overlays on teeth that improve their aesthetic appearance. Unlike classic veneers, they do not require dental treatment, therefore they are considered a more gentle method. With the help of lumineers, unfortunately, it is not always possible to solve the aesthetic problem of the front teeth, for example, with uneven or large teeth.

Lumineers are very popular, but not all dentists can install them. The doctor of our clinic, orthopedic dentist Nikolai Ivanovich Cherevko, is a certified specialist in installing lumineers in St. Petersburg.

In each case, the doctor suggests one or another type of veneers/lumineers depending on the clinical indications.

Indications for installation of veneers/lumineers are:

• The presence of many defective, darkened fillings on the front teeth.
• Changes in the shape of the front teeth due to wear, chips, and injuries.
• Discoloration of teeth (teeth of different colors).
• Pigmentation of tooth enamel that cannot be whitened (fluorosis, pigmented enamel cracks, tetracycline teeth).
• Gaps between teeth (trema and diastema).

Ceramic veneers and lumineers perfectly convey the shape, color, transparency and shine of teeth in the smile area; they are strong and durable, do not change their color over time, and do not cause allergies.

Pros and cons, differences from veneers

The advantages of these prostheses include:

• Reversibility of the design - no grinding is required for installation since the lumineers are very thin and are applied directly to the enamel. This makes it easy to remove them if necessary or desired.
• Natural appearance – manufactured microprostheses do not differ at all from natural teeth.
• Absence of allergic reactions - the material for production is neutral ceramics, which does not cause rejection or allergies.
• No staining - due to the smooth surface, pigments from dyes contained in food products do not settle on it.
• Convenience – the installation and removal process is not accompanied by pain and does not cause discomfort to the patient. You also don’t need to get used to them, since you don’t feel the presence of a foreign body in your mouth.
• Long service life - with proper care, they will please their owner for at least 20 years.

The disadvantages are:

• High prices for lumineers;
• Long waiting times for prosthetics to be made;
• Low prevalence of the service.

Lumineers have several distinctive features compared to veneers. These include:

1. Less thickness.
2. Less preparation of the dentition.
3. Stronger hold.
4. Long service life.

Description

Lumineers belong to microprosthetic technology and are thin overlays made of ceramic or porcelain. Fixed on the vestibular surface of the frontal incisors, they allow you to straighten the shape, restore natural whiteness and protect the enamel from damage caused by external factors. Luminizing is included in the category of reversible procedures that do not require additional treatment of the surface of the teeth, which allows you to contact your dentist at any time and freely remove or replace the damaged structure.

Installation

Lumineers in St. Petersburg are installed in several successive stages:

1. Preparation of the oral cavity (cleaning and eliminating existing diseases, if any).
2. Taking and making a jaw cast.
3. Smile modeling using a computer.
4. Creation of a thin lining from heavy-duty phosphorus, the thickness of which is no more than 0.2 mm.
5. During the second visit to the dentist, the manufactured dentures are tried on and the shape is corrected if there is any discrepancy.
6. Fixation of the structure on the tooth surface using a special adhesive base that is resistant to food acids.

Service life, care

The service life of installed lumineers directly depends on the quality of the material used by the dentist and the work performed. If you follow all medical recommendations and take care of the installation, it can please its owner for 10-20 years.

These microprostheses do not require special care. It is enough to regularly maintain thorough oral hygiene, visit the dentist in a timely manner and not start the progression of dental diseases, use mouth rinse, give up bad habits and minimize the consumption of products that can stain the enamel.

Price

Prices for lumineers in St. Petersburg depend on the material from which they are made and the number of prostheses. As a rule, Emax lumineers cost 19,000-30,000 rubles apiece.

Lumineers

Lumineers are synonymous with the “Hollywood smile.” These are very thin, durable and aesthetic products that resemble a contact lens in thickness. Today, aesthetic dentistry is very popular because it does not stand in one place. One of the latest achievements is the creation of lumineers. Lumineers are ceramic plates placed on teeth.

Advantages of lumineers:

• Installation of lumineers without grinding teeth;
• High strength and aesthetics;
• Treatment is carried out in 2 visits to a specialist;
• Safe and painless treatment;
• Temporary dental veneers are not used;
• Teeth are not subject to caries and other complications;
• There is no hypersensitivity;
• Reversible installation;
• Long service life.

Lumineers are excellent for the following problems:

• Small diastemas and trema;
• Color changes due to various reasons;
• Slight misalignment of the tooth;
• Cosmetic imperfections, old fillings, restorations

Lumineers are very thin, but not transparent, so they can cover almost any tooth defects. The plates are fixed using cement and a new adhesive.

Are there any contraindications to the use of lumineers?

The installation of lumineers is not advisable in the following clinical situations:

• Allergic reaction to materials;
• Diseases of teeth or periodontal tissues;
• Low level of oral hygiene.

What are Lumineers?

The Two Dentists clinic offers aesthetic dentistry services, including methods for restoring anterior teeth and improving aesthetics. For this, various materials are used, among which lumineers stand out. These are ultra-thin glass-ceramic plates that allow you to improve aesthetics in the shortest possible time. At the same time, the natural tooth tissues are preserved; preparation and grinding of the enamel are not required before installation. The result of the restoration is a beautiful and healthy “Hollywood” smile and shining white teeth.

Characteristics:

• small plate thickness of 0.2-0.3 millimeters;
• high performance indicators;
• resistance to chewing loads;
• long service life - about 20 years;
• Lumineers can be removed;
• There is no turning of enamel during installation.

Installation of the structure is quite simple and requires only a few visits to the doctor:

• at a preliminary consultation, the doctor chooses the type of treatment, carries out professional cleaning of stone and plaque;
• An impression is taken of the teeth to be restored;
• in the laboratory, a three-dimensional model is created from the impression, thin plates are made;
• at the next visit to the doctor, a fitting is carried out, if necessary, the form is adjusted;
• Lumineers are attached to the teeth without grinding; special glue is used for fixation.

Indications and contraindications

The use of lumineers presupposes not only the patient’s desire to improve the visual properties of the dentition, but also the presence of medical indications, which include:

• The need to even out the shade of the enamel;
• The presence of fluorosis or increased vulnerability of the coating;
• The need to relieve defects caused by age-related changes;
• Recommendations for eliminating diastemas, displacements or crowding of elements.

It is worth noting that it will not be possible to correct the consequences of significant damage with the help of lumineers - in such cases, prosthetic techniques are used to restore the full structure of the crown. In addition, before starting restoration, it will be necessary to eliminate negative factors that are contraindications, such as caries, inflammatory processes and periodontal pathologies. In this regard, the final prices for lumineers offered by clinics in St. Petersburg are determined only after a comprehensive examination, which allows you to draw up a competent treatment and recovery plan.
