Do you dream of a natural, snow-white, perfect smile? Ways to realize the desire a lot, and one of the most popular is to put the veneers. These designs allow achieving an irreproachable result, and only the dentist will be able to learn about restoration in the oral cavity upon examination. Learn more about what dental veneers are and how they are put.
What is Veneers for Teeth
This is the name for thin plates that attach to the front teeth to improve their appearance. They are made individually for each person and help to achieve excellent correction results. Plates are made of porcelain, ceramics, composite materials, do not require enamel grinding for fastening. Indications for their installation:
- The tooth color differs from the others. This can occur due to injuries, medication, nerve removal and so on. Plates are installed if surgical whitening does not help.
- Part of the tooth is destroyed( no more than 50%).
- It is necessary to disguise the seal.
- It is necessary to eliminate cracks, small chipped between teeth. In this case, most likely, installation of paired constructions is required. For information: the dead tooth is not placed on the plate.
- It is necessary to correct the shape of the teeth( provided that there are no problems with the bite).
Ceramic veneers
Another name is porcelain. They are manufactured in the laboratory on individual casts, then they are installed to the patient. To fix them, the outer side of the teeth is treated, the fixation takes place with the help of a cement compound. A significant disadvantage is that they break off under heavy loads. In this regard, they are not recommended for those who strongly clenching their teeth, likes to grind. If the structure is damaged, it can not be repaired - it only remains to replace it with a new one. Ceramic veneers on teeth are often put, as:
- do not change their color during the process of wearing;
- does not accumulate plaque;
- keep firmly.
Composite veneers
Made of sealing material, can be formed directly in the patient's mouth. Designs are installed in one visit, do not require a serious grinding enamel. They can be manufactured in the laboratory, but are more often restored in the oral cavity by layer-by-layer application of the composite material. Vinification of teeth in this way is inferior to ceramic in appearance and in terms of service life.
Patients need to be prepared for the fact that in some cases it is not possible to select the desired color of the composite material because of the narrow color gamut. It is not recommended to choose inexpensive options - they quickly change color when you drink, have a porous, brittle texture. Compared with prosthetics, crowns such composite plates are much less.
How much does it cost to install veneers
Installing veneers has never been a cheap procedure. High cost is due to several factors. First, veneers on teeth are made from imported materials of high quality. Secondly, the procedure is long, complex, requiring experience and skill of a specialist. It is especially difficult to install composite structures in a direct way( in the patient's mouth).
One tooth
The price spread is huge. On average, one veneer will cost at least 15 thousand rubles. If the patient has small defects, the design may cost about 6,300 rubles. The final installment amount is affected by:
- tooth condition;
- material to be used for restoration;
- qualification of a specialist who will conduct the procedure;
- the amount of work;
- need for anesthesia;
- the chosen method of restoration( installation of an indirect veneer is more expensive, than direct, because in the first case 2 experts are involved).
Cost of veneers on the front teeth
For the sake of economy, restoration is recommended to be done in areas that are in sight. Other teeth can be cured in other ways. So, as an option, you can put the veneers on a couple of teeth of the upper and lower rows and spend on the procedure about 100 thousand rubles. As already noted, the final price is influenced by many factors, so the exact information will be sounded only by the doctor after an individual consultation.
How much do veneers cost for all teeth?
To find out the total amount, you need to multiply the price of one tooth by 32( or by a smaller number depending on the number of teeth in the patient).It turns out very expensive. What can I recommend to those who decided to use this option? Outputs 3:
- apply to a place where they offer interest-free installments for treatment;
- use a discount card to reduce costs;
- look for promotions in different hospitals and private dentists( they are often arranged when new places are opened).
How to put veneers
To put veneers on teeth, patients usually have to visit the dentist 2 times. At the first admission the doctor carries out preliminary training:
- Does preparation: grinds the enamel to further establish thin plates, removes a layer equal to the thickness of the veneer.
- Makes a mold by applying a special paste on the teeth. When the mass solidifies, removes it and sends it to the laboratory to produce a plate based on the model obtained.
- Selects a shade for the veneer, using plates of different colors.
- Can set up temporary analogs.
The second veneer is installed. Before this, you must check the bite, make sure that the plates fit tightly, they correspond to the shape, color. For attaching special cement is used. It is extremely important to visit the doctor again after a while, so that he excludes the inflammatory processes on the gums that may appear due to the foreign body.
In the case of a composite veneer, one visit to the dentist is sufficient. The doctor spends about one hour per procedure. During this time he manages to assess the condition of the tooth, choose the optimal color, grind the enamel, form a veneer. The surface of the finished product undergoes careful processing: it is polished, polished. If everything is in order, the client leaves the doctor with a beautiful, Hollywood smile. To keep the lining on the teeth intact, it is necessary:
- to avoid extreme sports;
- does not snap nuts, do not open bottles with teeth;
- clean the mouth at least 2 times a day;
- is used for hygienic cleaning of the irrigator.
How long will veneers with proper care? It depends on the kind of plate. For example, ceramic can last up to 30 years, without undergoing coloring, abrasion, crumbling. Composite hold less. They are recommended to be changed every 4-5 years, because the plates are erased and darken every year. To save the species every six months they must be polished.
