Features of veneers on the front teeth
Implants are fixed to the front surface of the patient's jaw. Before placing the overlays on the front teeth, the specialist and the client select their color. After that, the coating option should be selected.
There are 2 types of overlays: ceramic and composite. Their properties and aesthetic results differ. Ceramic overlays are more durable and resistant to staining. Composite dentures are easier to repair.
Overlays installed on the front teeth require minor grinding. This is necessary to ensure reliable attachment of the lumineer.
Indications for installation
The overlays are installed on the front jaws to improve their appearance.
Another indication is non-carious lesions of the enamel. In particular, the plates help to hide such defects as fluorosis or enamel hypoplasia.
The main indications for installing lumineers include:
- Darkening of the enamel (usually caused by eating coloring foods and smoking) If whitening does not help, lumineers provide chewing elements with a stable and beautiful color
- Defects in shape and location (for example, small gaps or uneven jaws) Plates help to correct the irregular shape and minimal curvature of the jaws
- Cracks and chips Plates effectively hide damage on the surface of teeth. In this way, they restore their aesthetics (cracks and chips can occur due to injuries and enamel wear)
Contraindications
There are cases when the placement of overlays is impossible or inappropriate. The main contraindications include:
- Absence of chewing teeth. Overlays are not installed, because otherwise there is a risk of reducing the overall functionality of the dentition
- Bruxism. Due to the habit of grinding teeth, dentures can quickly become damaged
- A pronounced malocclusion. If the patient has a severely disturbed bite, overlays can lead to damage to the teeth
- A damaged tooth. Overlays are not installed if less than half of the tooth remains. Otherwise, the support for the plate will be insufficient
- Pathological abrasion. With severe wear of the chewing elements, the dentures cannot withstand the load
- The presence of fillings. Onlays are not placed on large fillings on the inner surface
Another contraindication is the habit of gnawing nuts and biting threads: in such cases, there is a risk of damaging the veneers.
Stages of installing veneers on the front teeth
At the first appointment, the doctor examines the patient, prescribes diagnostic procedures (CT, impressions) and selects a treatment method. He also tells the client how much veneers on the front teeth will cost.
As soon as the veneers are available, the patient visits the clinic again. The doctor installs each lumineer one by one on a light-reflecting dental solution.
- Tooth preparation (small chewing units of the correct shape do not require serious grinding) Tooth enamel is processed to create space for the overlays. Thanks to modern analgesics, the grinding procedure is painless
- Taking impressions The dentist takes impressions using silicone impression masses. These materials accurately reproduce the details of the relief of the chewing elements
- Manufacturing The plates are made in a dental laboratory. To ensure maximum accuracy and tightness of the fit of the overlays, the dental technician uses a microscope

Answers a doctor of the K+31 clinic:
“It is not difficult to get a good restoration result. The main thing is that all jaws are healthy. The presence of caries on the back teeth (sixth and seventh) does not interfere with the installation of overlays on the external dentoalveolar elements, but it is better to eliminate all problems before the procedure. This will help avoid possible complications and ensure the durability of the result.”

What are veneers?
Veneers are thin plates that are attached to the outer surface of the teeth. Their thickness is only 0.5-0.7 mm. Despite this, they are quite durable and have a long service life.
Good plates (for example, e-max) help to hide chips, curvature and interdental spaces. Lumineers can also be used to change the color (if whitening does not give the desired result).
