Veneers on teeth: what is it, what are, what is the price for tooth ceramic veneers, a review of materials

Half a century ago, in order to eliminate the tooth pathology, a cement seal and a crown were used.During this time, medicine has stepped far ahead.Currently, very popular are lumineers, ceramic and composite veneers, the cost of which varies in different price ranges.

What are veneers and lumineers?

Vinyl dental - a plate attached to the surface of the tooth to correct its color and shape.There are ceramic and composite.

Ceramic veneers are made from materials such as porcelain and zirconia.They have great strength and do not change color with all the service life, and it is more than 10 years.

Composite materials are used for the manufacture of composite veneers.This material is applied to the problem tooth of the by the dentist for one visit.With the passage of time, veneers begin to lose color, wear off, but their service life reaches nine years.

To install these types of veneers, it is necessary to grind the tooth, removing the tooth enamel by the thickness of the plate( 0.3 mm).

Lumineers are a kind of ceramic veneers , their thickness is 0.2-0.3 mm.To the tooth surface they fix without preliminary grinding.They serve more than 20 years, and in some cases even more.

The cost of the veneers depends on:

• of the manufacturing method;
• the number and size of teeth that need to be restored.For the front teeth, you need to install 10 plates.In this case, the cost per unit is reduced;
• of the material from which the veneer is made.The cheapest material is composite.

In addition, must pay for the consultation of the dentist , preliminary procedures, anesthesia.Also, the final cost is affected by the prestige of the clinic, its location, quality of services.

The cost of ceramic veneers

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain itself is not too expensive material, however, the laboriousness consists in the manufacture and installation of such microprostheses.First a tooth impression is taken, then a mold is made in the laboratory.Further layers are applied porcelain and then the mold is placed in a special kiln for roasting.Another method consists in injection molding at high temperatures.This manufacturing technology justifies the high cost of one tooth, which is 14,000 rubles.

Zirconium veneers

These microprostheses have not yet gained much popularity.They are strong enough and reliable.During the manufacturing process, zirconium dioxide is fired, as a result of this a monolithic frame is formed, which makes it durable.The price starts from 17 000 rubles.

Lumineers

They are also called Hollywood because this is the way to correct teeth that makes the smile snow-white, like the actors in American films.Domestic dentistry allows its patients to become the owner of such an amazing smile.

Lumineers are very thin plates that attach to the front of the teeth.Their service life is very long and can last more than 20 years, because are made of very strong porcelain , reinforced with crystals.

So what's the price of Hollywood veneers?In Moscow, the cost of installing one unit ranges from 25 000 to 40 000 rubles.Such a high price is determined by the highest quality of and exclusivity.In addition, not every dentist is able to qualitatively install lumineers, for this it is necessary to undergo special training.Taking into account the very process of manufacture and installation, the price is quite adequate.If lumineers are of low cost, then, most likely, a fake is used.

Cost of composite veneers

Veneers made of composite materials have numerous disadvantages.Leading dental clinics for a long time do not use this method of correction of teeth.However, many dentists strongly recommend the installation of just such veneers.This is due to the fact that the salary of a doctor depends on the number of works performed and the dentists are not in a hurry to give their client to an orthopedic doctor.

In addition, many clinics do not have their own dental laboratory in which ceramic veneers are made.Therefore, in such clinics, it is often suggested that the teeth be corrected with conventional light-curing composite fillings, than paying an outside dental laboratory for the work done.

The price for one composite unit is about 7,000 rubles.

Composite veneers are made directly in the patient's mouth by a dentist.There is another way of making: veneer is made in the dental laboratory on a plaster cast of the patient's tooth from light-cured filling materials, and not from ceramics.The quality of this technique is higher, but still bad enough.

When should I not install veneers?

Microprosthesis is not performed in the following cases:

• incorrect bite;
• nocturnal gnashing of teeth( bruxism);Shocked teeth
• and many other reasons.

The installation of lumineers reduces the list of contraindications, therefore necessarily needs the advice of the orthodontist.

No matter how expensive the installed microprostheses, if you do not comply with oral hygiene, gnaw firm things, snap threads, crack nuts, then the benefits of correction may be minimal.

In addition, veneers can not save teeth from caries, which were not installed with microprostheses.Therefore, it is necessary to follow all the doctor's recommendations for the prevention of caries and oral care.Also, in order to preserve the enamel, it is necessary to limit the consumption of sweet.

Thus, at what price to choose a veneer, each solves itself proceeding from the financial possibilities.In any case, such dental prosthetics looks much better than the of all other methods of correction.Even the whiteness of teeth obtained is more effective than standard bleaching with the help of the latest technology.
