Composite veneers give a luxurious smile

Beautiful, smooth and white teeth - what canto be more attractive? It’s not for nothing that actors, politicians and people in public professions often use the services of a dentist to create the perfect smile. But no one wants to spoil their teeth by installing crowns either. Therefore, a new method for correcting the dentition was developed and introduced - with the help of veneers. For most people, this is a new kind of prosthetics. What are veneers and what are their features? This is a modern method of correcting the dentition in order to improve the shape, color and type of teeth. The veneer itself is a thin, almost transparent plate.

There are several types of veneers.The difference between them depends on the materials from which they are made: ceramic, composite and porcelain. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. The most simple to manufacture composite veneers. Like others, they are able to correct and eliminate the aesthetic defects of the front teeth, but at the same time, the time spent at the clinic is limited to one day.

Изготавливаются композитные виниры из filling material right in the patient's mouth. The doctor treats the surface of the tooth with a special acid-containing gel, and then the composite material is applied layer by layer. Each application is fixed by a photopolymer lamp. At the end of the procedure, the tooth is subjected to grinding. To create ceramic and porcelain linings requires a dental laboratory and a longer time for their manufacture. Among other things, the surface treatment of the tooth for composite veneers is minimized. Grind only the part that requires correction.

Indications for installing veneers are:

- gaps between teeth;

- chipped;

- the presence of darkened or significantly changed the color of old fillings;

- discoloration of the tooth itself, possibly due to fluorosis;

- tetracycline teeth, etc.

Aesthetic and mechanical properties of compositeVeneers are directly dependent on the composition, and more precisely, on the size of the particles of the material itself. More durable plates, composed of particles of a composite of more than 30 microns, are difficult to polish and quickly fade. Pads with a microparticle size of 0.04 microns have excellent aesthetic properties, are highly polished, but rather fragile, more often used for dental fillings. As usual, preference is given to the golden mean, namely materials with a filler up to 0.15 microns. Such veneers are strong enough, they are easy to sand and look like a natural tooth.

And yet not everyone can supply veneers. Contraindications are untreated periodontitis, abnormal bite, thinning or a small amount of enamel, the habit of grinding teeth (bruxism).

However, composite veneers are usedvery popular with patients. Of their advantages over ceramic and porcelain, it is necessary to single out a fairly affordable price (more than two times cheaper than analogs) and installation speed (the work is carried out during one visit to the dentist). A wide range of colors can satisfy any esthete. With proper care, veneers will serve faithfully for many years.
