How is the installation of veneers on teeth and their further care?

Veneers are special thin ceramic plates that are attached to the pre-treated front part of the tooth with a special composite glue.

The use of veneers provides an opportunity to refresh the outer layer of enamel and give the appearance of teeth aesthetic and beautiful appearance.

In addition, with the help of veneers, you can eliminate some defects: change the position of the tooth in the row, align the tooth surface and their color, or correct the bite.

What are the problems with veneers?

The installation of veneers allows to achieve not only an impeccable appearance, but also to correct flaws and defects of the dentition.

With the help of the lining on the teeth, you can solve such problems:

• avoid rapid abrasion or damage to the tooth enamel;

• restoration of teeth and prevention of the appearance of chips;
• elimination of the diastema and tremors between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws;
• correction of wedge-shaped defects that occur on hard tooth tissues;
• correction of disorders in the development of teeth;
• possibility of changing the shape and size of the teeth;
• alignment of tooth color and darkened seals;
• tooth surface restoration, the defects of which are associated with hypo- mineralization of enamel and dentin, which resulted from excessive fluoride consumption;
• bleaching of tetracycline teeth;
• correction of consequences after the transferred operations or the received traumas.

The installation of veneers helps to solve a lot of problems with the teeth that have arisen as a result of the transferred disease, impaired metabolism or decreased immunity. In addition, veneers are an alternative technology for the manufacture of pins, crowns or bridges.

Preparing for installation of

Before placing the veneers, the dentist should carefully inspect the oral cavity and advise the patient about the use of the linings.

Since there are a number of contraindications for the installation of veneers, they can not be installed with carious disease, in case of strong tooth loosening, significant defects and the presence of bruxism.

In the opposite case, the dentist can start making veneers. On average, this process takes no more than 2 weeks.

First you need to make impressions of the teeth, which will be sent to the laboratory for manufacturing. Here there is a wax simulation operation.

The whole procedure takes place on the spot - in the doctor's office, which is fast and very convenient. The impression allows the doctor to get an idea of ​​the location of the teeth and subsequently form the ideal forms.

Preparation process

On the other hand, the tooth that is to be modeled with veneer plates requires pre-treatment. Dissection of the tooth under the veneers is necessary in order that the plate can be firmly fixed on the surface of the native tooth. For this, a small layer of enamel is removed.

The quality of the tooth preparation depends on the equipment and tools used. Drill bits that have lost their graininess, after treatment, leave on their teeth dark strips, which in the end can worsen not only the aesthetic performance, but the effectiveness of securing the veneers on the teeth.

The classic method of processing teeth involves the simultaneous use of several boron machines with different grinding nozzles.

In a number of cases, local anesthesia is performed during tooth treatment.

The preparation is carried out in several stages:

1. Three incisions are made in the direction from the edge to the middle of the tooth .They are used as guides and the depth of each should not be more than 0.5 mm.
2. The is then removed from the enamel over the entire tooth surface of the .The optimum thickness of such removal varies between 0.75 and 1.0 mm. It should be noted that with increasing depth of processing, the quality of the installation of the pads is reduced, which are worse kept, and, therefore, serve for a shorter period.
3. Surface grinding of by 0,25-0,5 mm from the cutting edge.
4. Surface polishing .

Preparatory work does not end there - now you should wash your teeth with water, degrease their surface and dry them.

To achieve maximum adhesion of the composite material, the tooth surface is subjected to acid etching with a gel that is subsequently washed off and dried.

Step-by-step installation process

After the preparation of the tooth surface and the preparation of the plates, the dentist proceeds to the installation process.

Before proceeding with the installation, the doctor again examines the oral cavity, checks for inflammation and damage, and adjusts the veneer to the tooth size.

First, the installation of temporary laps, which are made of plastic. The thickness of the veneers at the same time corresponds to the thickness of the enamel, which was removed from the surface of the native tooth. This procedure will allow to assess the quality of the work on the production of plates and in no way injures or weakens the tooth.

When the composite plates are ready, the temporary ones are removed by the dentist and permanent ones are applied instead of them with the adhesive compound of increased strength.

An important role in the installation of plates is also played by the color of the veneer, which can be corrected with the help of colored cement, which is applied over the glue and before installing the plate.

To achieve the maximum fixing effect, a special adhesive compound is used, which is sufficiently thick and at the same time has a high flowability. It is applied with a thin layer on the enamel, filling in all the roughness, and contributes to a strong fixation of the composite on the tooth surface.

The curing process is achieved with a light-sensitive catalyst, which is located in the cement layer. Under its influence, the gluing composition is cured. The final setting is aligning the contours and correcting the occlusion.

Features of direct veneers

Direct veneers are a mass of a special material, the composition of which resembles a filling. The correction process takes place directly in the dentist's office, does not take much time and is as follows:

• examination of the oral cavity by a dentist;
• color matching material;
• uniform tooth grinding;
• application of a composite coating and correction of teeth.

As direct veneers can be used not only composite, but also ceramic materials.

How to properly care for and wear

Careful care and periodic visits to the dentist will increase the life of the veneers.

By the way, the ceramic lining life is unlimited - they have the same wear as the real teeth. A feature of ceramics is that it is not susceptible to caries in view of an ideally smooth surface. Therefore, it can be argued that caring for such plates is easier than even for real teeth.

However, you should follow these rules when wearing the lining of the teeth:

• should not be subjected to serious loads, so it is forbidden to bite hard objects;
• ceramics have the property of deforming under the impact of shocks, so when practicing sports, you should use the kappa;
• abandon the use of abrasive oral hygiene products;
• should avoid eating food coloring products;
• should abandon the bad habit of smoking;
• the first time is to abandon the rough food;
• to speed up the adaptation to the plates, one should talk a lot;
• no one canceled the periodic and professional cleaning of teeth.

A Hollywood smile with beautiful and smooth teeth is the dream of every person on earth. They meet not only for clothes, but also for a smile.

And you can create such a smile with the help of veneers. The process of creating such overlays is complicated, but the installation is fairly simple, especially if its professionals perform it.

Quality of work also depends on the cement and adhesive composition. For installation, composite materials and ceramics can be used. To preserve veneers and teeth, you should properly care for them and carry out preventive cleaning.
