Installation of veneers

There are few contraindications to the installation of veneers. They are not recommended for children and young people in whom the process of formation of teeth and jaw bones has not yet been completed, as well as for patients with:

• untreated caries;
• malocclusion;
• bruxism;
• periodontitis and periodontitis.

Whether it is worth installing veneers is determined individually by the doctor after conducting an examination and assessment of the condition of the teeth.

The duration of the procedure depends on the type of veneers being placed. If ceramic veneers are used, several visits to the dentist are required, whereas direct veneers can often be completed in a single appointment.

The placement of ceramic veneers takes place over several visits: during the first visit, the tooth is prepared and impressions are taken; during the second visit, the veneers are tried in and permanently bonded. While the veneers are being fabricated in the dental laboratory, the patient wears temporary veneers to protect the teeth prepared for placement.

The process of placing direct veneers is carried out during one visit and includes several stages:

• the enamel surface is degreased to ensure optimal adhesion of the material;

• a light-cured composite material is applied to the front surface of the teeth;

• within a few minutes, the dentist shapes the veneer, coordinating its size and color with the patient;

• the finished restorations are cured with a polymerization lamp and become as strong as natural teeth;

• the dentist polishes the surface, giving it a natural shine and bright white appearance.

Multiple visits may be required only if composite material needs to be applied to a large number of teeth.

Ceramic veneers are very durable and not prone to staining, so they are quite easy to care for. As for direct veneers, they are more fragile and can change color over time under the influence of food dyes. In order to extend the service life of veneers, it is advisable to avoid excessive stress on them and carefully monitor oral hygiene.

After installing veneers, it is recommended to:

• quit smoking (direct veneers can darken);
• reduce the consumption of drinks and foods rich in bright pigments, and/or brush your teeth after eating;
• do not chew hard foods (nuts, apples, seeds, etc.) with the teeth on which the veneers are installed;
• avoid sudden changes in temperature (hot food + cold drink);
• use a medium-hard brush to brush your teeth;
• use an irrigator to clean the interdental space;
• at least once every six months, undergo professional teeth cleaning and examination by a dentist.

Following these simple rules will allow you to enjoy the flawless appearance of your veneers for many years.
