1. What exactly is a veneer?

 

Veneers (facets) are thin tiles made of different materials that adapt to the front surface of the tooth. They can be used to correct the color, shape and size of teeth.

 

2. Am I a candidate for dental veneers?

 

The decision to make dental veneers is made after an examination by a dentist. In addition to your wishes, the dentist will explain to you whether there are conditions for their production, which depends primarily on the condition of your teeth, as well as of the occlusion.

 

 

3. Can the veneer crack?

 

Veneers are made of extremely high quality ceramic materials that are very resistant. However, there are situations in which they may be cracked. The cause of this is mostly inadequate biting or bad habits such as bruxism (uncontrolled clenching and gnashing of teeth).

 

4. Can it be replaced if it breaks?

Of course. As explained in the previous question, there are situations in which the veneer may crack. It is important to note that its replacement and production of a new one is possible. If it is determined that such things recur, you should consider other solutions offered by dental prosthetics, in consultation with a dentist.

 

5. What is the lifespan of the veneer?

 

A well-made veneer made of good material and adequately incorporated into your dental row can last for years. It is necessary to maintain adequate oral hygiene and to visit the dentist for regular check-ups in order to maintain its condition.

6. What is the warranty on the veneer?

 

At our clinic, the guarantee for veneers is 5 years.

 

7. What if I gnash my teeth at night and break the veneers?

 

In situations where patients have a habit of gnashing their teeth, the veneer may crack. For these patients, we generally recommend making crowns that are more resistant to this type of force and last longer in such situations, and provide the same aesthetic results as veneers.

 

 

8. Is it necessary to grind a tooth to make a veneer and how much?

 

One of the main advantages of veneers in relation to crowns is that the tooth substance is minimally removed for its production. Grinding provides a space for the veneer, and since they are made of a thin layer of ceramics, they do not require the removal of a large amount of tooth substance.

 

9. Does the tooth last shorter if I put veneers?

 

No, on the contrary. By placing veneers on worn teeth, you can protect them, and thus prolong the life of your teeth.

 

 

10. Does the nerve have to be removed when I put on the veneers?

 

Minimal grinding of the tooth that ends in enamel (the surface layer of the tooth) generally prevents the need to remove the nerve, which preserves the vitality of the tooth.

 

11. How many veneers does it take for a bright smile?

 

It usually takes between 10 and 20 veneers for a perfect smile. The number depends on whether only one jaw, or both are repaired and how many teeth are involved.

 

12. Do veneers change color over time?

 

Ceramic veneers are made of a thin layer of ceramic that is resistant to discoloration. It also stands out as one of the main advantages of this type of restorations over composite veneers.

 

13. Can I choose the color and the shape of the veneer?

 

Surely! At the first examination, you can talk to the dentist about the color of the veneer you would like, as well as the shape and size of the teeth. You can completely change and even out the color of your teeth, cover the pigmentation that cannot be removed by bleaching, and thus get a perfect smile.

 

14. Can veneers be replaced with ziconium crowns?

 

Yes, they can. As criconium crowns are placed on all tooth surfaces, for this procedure it is necessary to remove the existing veneers and, under local anesthesia, sharpen the tooth as much as is necessary for zirconium crowns.

 

15. How are veneers made?

 

Veneers are made in 2 to 3 treatments. At the first visit, the dentist will examine you, and determine whether you have the conditions for the veneer and whether some preparatory procedures are needed before making the veneers themselves.

 

The preparation of the teeth for the veneer is performed under local anesthesia, after which the appropriate impressions are taken, on the basis of which ceramic veneers are made using a precise computerized methodology. During the third visit, their installation is performed.

 

16. What are veneers made of?

 

Veneers are made of special types of ceramics. This material ensures that it is extremely resistant and strong in a very thin layer. Also, it is important to note that each veneer is made precisely with the help of a computer and individually for each patient.

 

17. What is the price for one veneer?

 

The price of ceramic veneer for one tooth is 250e.

 

 

18. Why is veneer expensive?

 

The price of veneers is determined by the top quality material and modern technology that is included in their production. Certainly, the results obtained by adequately made veneers speak in favor of their price.

 

19. Can veneers be made for the elderly?

 

There is no age limit for this type of compensation, nor are there any absolute contraindications. The only thing that can limit their indications in some cases is the unfavorable occlusion at the patient.
