Description and types of veneers
Veneers are 0.3–0.7 mm thick plates. They are superimposed on the front surface of the tooth. Can be made of various materials. The following types of veneers are distinguished:
- composite;
- all-ceramic;
- laths of sodium dioxide on the frame.
All have advantages and disadvantages, as well as price.
Ceramic veneers
Since ceramics is closest to the natural color of tooth enamel in its optical characteristics, ceramic veneers are most popular among patients and are widely used in dentistry. Pottery is not erased, does not change color and is very durable. Its service life is at least 7 years.
Methods for making ceramic veneers:
-
Layering ceramics. This method allows you to perform the lining with the optical features of the adjacent teeth. You can reproduce blotches of various shades, transparency, and even imitate enamel cracks. The disadvantages of layering include fragility of the product. - Pressed veneers. These are solid and durable linings. They are baked at a time, so to reproduce the accuracy of the desired color is much more difficult.
Ceramic veneers are made in the laboratory. Depending on the complexity of the situation, this can take from 7 to 14 days. The price of ceramic lining - from 16500 rubles.
Composite veneers
Veneer is a very flexible plastic that can be used as clay. Since the plastic is more porous, it reproduces worse the features of the teeth and polishes. To make a composite overlay, you need to clean a tooth, remove an impression from it, and perform a restoration.
The advantage of composite veneers is their quick installation. The disadvantages include service life of only 3-5 years, because the material is quickly erased and eventually loses color and luster. The price of composites lining ranges from 15,000 to 18,500 thousand rubles.
Zirconia veneers on the frame
Such overlays consist of a frame and a decorative layer. Compared with ceramic veneer without a frame, they are thicker and less transparent.
Since the framework is most often done in one place, and the restoration layer in the other, the products are made a little longer than ceramic. Today there are modern machines that allow make an exact copy of the form and tooth color. The equipment is very expensive.
Frame veneers are very beautiful, durable and with a long service life. The average price for zirconium oxide linings is 31,000 rubles.
Hollywood Veneers
Such overlays are called lumineers. In thickness, they are like contact lenses. For their production using unique modeling technology. As a result, Lumineers are obtained as much as possible corresponding to the shape and color of the patient's teeth.They are distinguished by super strength, so the possibility of the formation of chips and cracks on them is excluded.
Hollywood pads for the restoration of teeth have a lot of advantages:
- with their help, a large number of teeth defects are corrected - from discoloration and shape, to curvature;
- when caring for lumineers, it is enough to observe proper oral hygiene;
- if necessary, the pad can be removed at the dentist;
- Enamel restoration is not required after removing Hollywood veneers;
- during restoration there is no need for a temporary overlay;
- the procedure is completely painless, therefore it is performed without anesthesia;
- grind enamel before installing lumineers is not necessary.
Hollywood veneers are quite expensive. Their price starts from 31,000 rubles for one overlay.

Patient Reviews
My cutting teeth of wisdom led to the fact that the top row began to walk in different directions. I decided to put the veneers, but stopped the price. I recently met a family of dentists who promised to give me a good discount. It was decided that at first the bottom row was simply bleached, and we would only put the veneers on 10 upper teeth.
On first visit just took a cast. At the second stage of the procedure, anesthesia was done, teeth were turned and they were closed with a mouthguard, after which the impression was taken again. Veneers were made for two weeks. All this time I wore mouthguards that held onto the cement and looked like regular teeth. They practically did not interfere, only it seemed that a chewing gum was glued to the inner side of the teeth. When I came to the dental office for the third time, I was again under anesthesia. Then they removed the mouth guards, tried on the lining, removed the excess cement, and all polished. The procedure was painless. I am very pleased with the result, and now I can smile without constraint. I plan to put the lining on the bottom row.
I can't say that my teeth are so bad, but I wanted them to be whiter and longer. Long studied all information and reviews about veneers, and decided that ceramic is better than composite. I do not really want after you eat any dyeing products, go to clean the linings. Ceramic veneers serve for a long time and are not painted.Of course, they can break away, but after all, even a normal tooth is not immune from this.
My teeth are straight, so the installation procedure did not take much time. In several visits I was restored 6 lower and 10 upper teeth. Anesthesia was applied and it did not hurt at all. On the lower teeth, I decided to put the veneers, and on the upper - Lumineers. The price for them is almost the same - from 38,000 to 52,000 rubles.
I wanted the tooth enamel to look white, but at the same time natural. Her color I picked up the artist. Understand where the lining, and where my teeth is quite difficult, since the veneers are made with irregularities corresponding to the tooth enamel. At first it was unusual that the teeth are longer. But then I forgot about it, as if they were always with me. The only drawback is only a fairly high price.
I'll start my review with the fact that my teeth have been problematic since childhood. I wore braces, but the curvature remained. As children we lived in an area where there is an increased concentration of fluoride in the water. Therefore, I have everything else and fluorosis. Because of it, tooth enamel looks very unaesthetic. She is covered with potholes and stains. Bleaching does not give any effect, only attachments can save my smile.
The dentist offered me composites on 6 front teeth that would help form a smile line. For the whole procedure at a discount, I gave 105,000 rubles. On the first day I cleaned the enamel and removed the tartar. Veneers were installed gradually. In one day, two teeth were restored. They put composite veneers by the direct method, that is, they were made and glued right in front of me. As a result, the color of my enamel was evened out, and the teeth became even. I am very pleased with the result. The disadvantages of composite linings are that you cannot nibble nuts and everything, and they are also short-lived. After about 5-7 years, they will have to be changed. To lining is not darkened, drink colored drinks with straws. For me, it is not burdensome.
Three years ago, I put on 9 upper teeth composite veneers. They are beautiful, white, even and I like it. But after a couple of years they will have to be changed, because over time they become brittle and too porous, painted from any painting food. I decided that now I will put ceramics, which is, of course, more expensive, but serves at least 15 years. Moreover, it is smooth and not painted. In my review, I want to note that composite linings dry quickly. Sometimes even lips cling to them. Therefore, I recommend ceramics to everyone.
I want to talk about my feelings and impressions about the veneers. I decided to put them because of the two curved front teeth. As a child, my mother made me put braces, but I was very shy. therefore the curvature remained. I wanted to put them now, but the dentist talked me out. He said that I would have to suffer with them for three years, and as a result my teeth could still go afterwards. He offered to get rid of the problem forever with the help of veneers, which he widely advertised. The doctor promised to make my smile beautiful in just a couple of sessions, and at the same time practically not to grind the enamel at all.
We decided to put a ceramic lining on one tooth in order to level it with the neighboring tooth. In the first session, the dentist stole so much enamel that there was only one stub. Then he made a tooth cast, put a temporary pad and went on vacation. The temporary veneer fell off the next day. As a result, I went for two weeks with a nightmarish stump.
When the doctor returned, the ceramic lining was ready. Looking at her, I was upset. Colour different from my natural enamel. The technician made a mistake and made it darker. It was possible to refuse, but I was so tired of all this, that I decided to put the existing veneer. The first time, when the pad of the village was not yet fully, it was very much felt. It took me about a month to get used to it.
I was constantly afraid that the veneer would begin to darken, crack or fall off. A year has passed, and I want to say that everything is in place and whole. Sometimes I even gnaw seeds. However, the problem of curvature remained. The teeth became a little smoother, but that the adjacent tooth protrudes anyway. Yes, even the gray shade lining catches the eye. I am very sorry that I cut my tooth, and now nothing can be done with it. I think that if the enamel is good and the teeth are healthy, then you should not put any veneers.
