Porcelain veneers and their costs are a hot topic on the web!
- What is so special about porcelain veneers?
- How much do veneers cost?
- What are veneers and how are they different from lumineers?
- Should you get your teeth bleached – whitened – before this?
A veneer is an ultra-thin, translucent ceramic plate for the teeth – similar to a contact lens. Veneers, or their thinner variant lumineers, are glued onto the surface of the teeth – especially the front teeth – using a special paste.
-
Veneers can be used to correct minor dental displacements, gaps, undesired colors or discolorations. Veneers provide the visible surface of the teeth with an improved look, and the color can be individually adapted using this procedure.
-
This all begins with a planning phase – known as a wax-up, followed by bleaching for really extreme discolorations. During preparation either none of the enamel or only a very thin layer (0,3-1,0mm) is removed.
-
After preparation, an imprint is taken, and temporary plastic veneers are applied. After one week, the temporary veneers are removed and the porcelain veneers which have been prepared by a dental technician are inserted.
The costs of veneers / lumineers range between 600€ – 1500€ /a piece.
In modern dentistry, it is possible to correct teeth using minimally invasive techniques.
It is hardly ever necessary to grind crowns – but such aesthetically demanding work require a very highly coordinated team.
