Types of composite veneers

Composite veneers are overlays made of light-curing material. They are direct and indirect.

Direct inserts are most often used for the restoration of one or two teeth. The process of their installation is similar to filling. First, the doctor applies the material to the tooth in layers. Each layer is then hardened by exposure to special light. Unlike other types of onlays, this method does not require significant grinding (removal of a layer) of tooth enamel.

Indirect onlays are stronger than direct onlays and are suitable for restoring the entire smile area. They are prepared in advance. These plates come in different sizes, shapes and shades.

Among them, thin componeers stand out - plates 0.3 mm thick at the base of the tooth and 0.7 mm at the cutting edge. These products are created from nanohybrid material (a composite with the addition of nanoparticles).

Installation of indirect inlays requires minimal grinding of the enamel (0.3–0.5 mm). These structures are not intended for molars (back chewing teeth), since their strength (50–75 MPa) does not withstand chewing load.

General information

Indications for installation

This treatment method is used to eliminate various aesthetic and functional dental problems.

In particular, such linings are used for:

  • Elimination of enamel irregularities (help hide small defects in the surface of teeth)
  • Reducing interdental spaces (reduce the distance between teeth)
  • Covering cracks and chips (mask minor damage)
  • Shape corrections (correct wedge-shaped defects)
  • Enamel layer extensions (restore worn enamel)
  • Removing unaesthetic stains (hide unsightly stains on the surface)
  • Disguise multiple fillings (cover fillings that stand out against the background of the enamel)

Prosthetics are also performed for medical reasons. These include enamel hypoplasia and diastema (gap between teeth). The procedure is also indicated for trema (wide gaps between teeth).

In all cases, it is necessary to install the linings before significant destruction of the chewing elements. The front teeth and canines are subject to restoration. Onlays are not installed on molars due to the low strength of the composite.

Contraindications

Installation of composite veneers in Moscow has a number of contraindications. The orthopedic dentist does not install plates against the background:

  • Diseases of the oral cavity. Onlays cannot be installed in the presence of caries, pulpitis (inflammation of the pulp), periodontitis (inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth) and periodontal disease
  • Improper bite. Closing, which causes excessive stress on the teeth, leads to loosening and falling off of the inlays. This is especially true with a direct bite
  • Bruxism. Involuntary grinding of teeth at night leads to increased wear and accelerated destruction of the veneers. Even durable materials cannot withstand constant friction
  • The presence of large fillings. In the presence of fillings that occupy more than two-thirds of the area of the chewing element, the installation of onlays is difficult. This is due to the inability to ensure reliable fixation

The possibility of installing overlays also depends on other factors. For example, when a nerve is removed, the masticatory element loses some of its vitality and becomes more fragile. This means that it can crack or break at any time.

Plates are not recommended for people involved in martial arts and contact sports (boxing, karate, judo, rugby). This is due to the high risk of injury. Even durable pads can crack or break if subjected to a strong impact.

Turnkey installation steps

Installation of turnkey linings consists of several stages. They look like this:

  1. First consultation and assessment. A dentist examines a patient's oral cavity. At the same time, the condition of the chewing elements, gums and mucous membranes is assessed and possible contraindications are identified. The doctor explains to the patient all stages of the procedure and answers any questions that arise
  2. Color selection. The natural shade of the material is selected
  3. Preparation. The chewing element is ground, then a layer of enamel 0.3-0.7 mm thick is removed (in preparation for installation of ceramic liners, the grind reaches 1.5 mm). This allows you to create space for the plate and improve the adhesion (adhesion) of the material to the chewing element
  4. Formation of the overlay. It forms directly on the tooth surface. The dentist applies light-curing material in layers. Each layer of the composite is illuminated with a special lamp - this allows it to harden
  5. Modeling and correction. After the inlay is formed, the doctor carefully treats its surface. To give the veneers the desired shape and smoothness, a specialist grinds and polishes them. This ensures wearing comfort and a natural look

The final stage is polishing. It is necessary to achieve final smoothness and shine. In addition, thanks to this procedure, the risk of plaque accumulation on the plates can be prevented.

Which ones to choose: composite or ceramic veneers?

Composite veneers help to quickly and relatively inexpensively correct defects in 1-2 teeth. They are suitable if minimal correction is required. Ceramic ones are suitable for long-term and high-quality restoration of the entire smile area.

Comparison table:

Characteristic Composite Ceramic
Process Formed directly on the chewing element Made in the laboratory
Time Installed in one visit Requires 2-3 visits
Cost of veneers The price of composite veneers is more affordable than the cost of ceramics Cost is higher due to laboratory work and quality of materials
Strength and Durability Less durable, service life 5-7 years They are characterized by high strength, service life - 10-15 years
Natural look Depends on the dentist's skills, may lose shine over time Maximum naturalness, translucency, shine
Stain resistance Sensitive to food colorings and alcohol Resistant to stains from coffee, wine, tea and tobacco
Turning Minimum (0.3-0.7 mm) Requires turning up to 1.5 mm
Polishing and care Requires regular polishing and sanding Minimal care, regular dental cleanings

Thank you very much to Dr. Omar for the parental happiness that the doctor gave us!... Where and to whom we took Maxim... We had hysterics, both our Maxim and we were under enormous stress. In other clinics, doctors sang songs to him, danced and showed him all kinds of cartoons, everything was useless. They only told us to do general anesthesia..... And now we get to Dr. Omar.... MAGIC!!!.... Maksimka leaves the doctor with her teeth cured and makes an appointment to meet again as soon as possible!.... So we cured all our teeth with a smile and great gratitude. Every week he asks to meet with the doctor, just to see if new holes have appeared there..... DOCTOR FROM GOD!!!.... I wish there were more such doctors, not only for children, but also for adults. With great respect and love, your regular clients clinics (Zaitsev sisters, Tatiana and Elena)

My daughter had a sharp toothache and we urgently had to look for a pediatric dentist. They chose Anastasia Eduardovna. Examination revealed pulpitis. There were 2 options, removing the tooth or trying to save it. The doctor said that of course it’s better to try to save it. We treated our tooth in two visits. At the first appointment, everything was cleaned, a temporary filling was placed, and then we were observed for 2 weeks to ensure there were no complications. After 2 weeks we went to the doctor and got a permanent filling. We are very pleased with the attitude and quality of Anastasia Eduardovna’s work.

I went to Sergei Olegovich to remove my eights. The case was difficult: they did not erupt, grew strictly horizontally, sat deep in the gums, and even very close to the nerves. I was terrified of deleting them. First, I came to Sergei Olegovich for a consultation. He looked at my picture, immediately described all the nuances of the extraction, and advised me to remove the teeth under sedation, which I am very happy about. At the second appointment, I was put to sleep and I woke up without teeth and without memories of the operation. Sergei Olegovich described all the “side effects” of rehabilitation by day, when what will hurt and how, when there will be swelling and what to do in these situations. Everything happened exactly according to the timing that he predicted. Within a week, all the swelling went down and everything went away. I definitely recommend this doctor.
