Dental veneers are plates attached to the surface of the tooth to correct its color and shape. There are ceramic and composite.
Ceramic veneers Made from materials such as porcelain and zirconia. They have great strength and do not change color for the whole service life, and it is more than 10 years.
Composite materials are used to make composite veneers. This the material is applied to the problem tooth a dentist in one visit. Over 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 tooth enamel on the thickness of the plate (0.3 mm).
Lumineers are kind of ceramic veneerstheir thickness is 0.2-0.3 mm. To the surface of the tooth they are fixed without prior grinding. They serve more than 20 years, and in some cases more.
The cost of veneers depends on:
- 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 decreases;
- the material from which the veneer is made. The cheapest material is considered composite.
Besides Be sure to pay for dental consultation, preliminary procedures, anesthesia. Also on the final cost affects the prestige of the clinic, its location, quality of services.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain itself is not too expensive material, however, the complexity is in the manufacture and installation of such micro-prostheses. First, a tooth imprint is taken, then an impression is made in the laboratory. Further porcelain is applied in layers and then the cast is placed in a special kiln. Another method is injection molding at high temperatures. Such manufacturing technology justifies the high cost of one tooth, which is 14,000 rubles.
Zirconium Veneers
These micro prostheses have not yet received much popularity. They are quite strong and reliable. In the manufacturing process, zirconia burns, resulting in a monolithic frame is formedthat makes it durable. The price starts from 17 000 rubles.
Lumineers
They are also called Hollywood, because it is this method of correction. teeth does a snow-white smile like that of actors in American films. Domestic dentistry allows its patients to become the owner of such a stunning smile.

So what is the price of Hollywood veneers? In Moscow, the cost of installing one unit ranges from 25,000 to 40,000 rubles. So high the price is determined by the highest quality and exclusivity. In addition, not every dentist is able to establish high-quality lumineers, for this you need to undergo special training. Taking into account the manufacturing process and installation, the price is quite adequate. If lumineers are of low cost, then most likely a fake is used.
Cost of composite veneers
Composite materials veneers have numerous drawbacks. Leading dental clinics have long been do not use this correction method teeth. However, many dentists strongly recommend the installation of such veneers. This is due to the fact that the doctor’s salary depends on the amount of work performed and dental therapists do not hasten to give their client to the orthopedic doctor.
In addition, many clinics do not have in their dental laboratory, in which would be made ceramic veneers. Therefore, in such clinics it is often suggested to make correction of the teeth with the help of ordinary light-cured composite filling materials, than to pay 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 method of manufacture: veneer is made in a dental laboratory on a plaster cast of a patient's tooth from light-cured filling materials, and not from ceramics. The quality of this technique is higher, but still bad enough.
In what cases you can not put veneers?
Microprosthetics are not performed in the following cases:
- malocclusion;
- night gnashing of teeth (bruxism);
- loose teeth and many other reasons.
Installing lumineers reduces the list of contraindications, therefore consultation is necessary orthodontist.
No matter how expensive the installed micro prostheses are, if you do not follow the hygiene of the oral cavity, gnaw hard objects, bite the teeth with teeth, crack nuts, then the benefits of correction may be minimal.
In addition, veneers can not save teeth from caries, which have not been installed micro-prostheses. Therefore, it is necessary to comply with all the recommendations of the doctor for the prevention of caries and oral care. Also, to preserve the enamel, it is necessary to limit the use of sweet.
Thus, at what price to choose veneers, everyone decides for himself on the basis of their financial capabilities. Anyway such prosthetic dentistry looks much better all other methods of correction. Even the resulting whiteness of the teeth looks more spectacular than standard whitening using the latest technology.
