Veneers types

Veneers are an extremely popular form of cosmetic dentistry. These are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of the teeth. Depending on the type, veneers can be made of ceramic or composite and improve the appearance of your smile by correcting various aesthetic problems such as gaps, misshapen teeth and discoloration.

If you are thinking about using this method, it is important to familiarize yourself with the different types of veneers and find out which one suits you best.

Therefore, in this article you will learn everything you need to know about the different types of veneers.

Basically, veneers can be divided into four different types:

Which type of veneers is best for you depends partly on the condition of your teeth, and partly on the cost you are willing to pay. It is best to talk to your dentist beforehand. This person will know which type of veneers is best for you.

Conventional veneers (prep veneers)

Conventional veneers are the most commonly used type of veneers. They consist of a thin layer of ceramics (up to 1mm thick), which is bonded to the front side of the teeth. Before bonding by means of special adhesive, the dentist grinds the affected tooth on the enamel to ensure optimum adhesion. It is important to bear in mind that grinding down the enamel means that it can no longer regenerate and the patient is forever dependent on wearing the veneers.

Due to their nature and high stability, conventional veneers have the longest durability with up to 20 years.

Conventional veneers can help correct a number of dental problems, including:

Procedure for the treatment of prep veneers

Applying conventional veneers is a relatively simple and quick process that can usually be completed in four sessions.

Veneers treatment is divided in many cases like this:

Cost: Conventional veneers are the most costly type of veneers. The cost depends on the number of veneers you need, as well as the dentist and the place (e.g. in Bochum) where the treatment is performed. However, due to the high effort from production to attachment of the teeth, the price is justified. If you want to achieve the best and most long-term result, you should be ready to pay more.

As a rule, the costs are between 500 and 2,000 euros per veneer and are only covered by insurance in rare cases. Especially abroad (e.g. in Turkey) the costs are much lower, but you should be aware of the risks of treatment abroad.

Non-Prep Veneers

Non-prep veneers are an ultra-thin layer of ceramic that is bonded to the front of the teeth without the dentist first grinding the enamel. By bonding without grinding the tooth surface, the enamel is not damaged and the treatment is 100% painless. Therefore, it is also optimally suited for anxiety patients. The veneers are only about 0.2 – 0.3 mm thick and thus considerably thinner than conventional veneers (approx. 1 mm thick).

Non-Prep Veneers

The non-prep veneers are usually used in people with healthy teeth and good gum health. They have the advantage that they are reversible and can be removed without leaving any residue without affecting the natural tooth structure. Due to their ultra-thin layer, non-prep veneers cannot be used on severely discolored teeth and on patients whose enamel surface is too thick.

Lumineers are patented veneers made of Cerinate ceramics, manufactured by Denmat. However, before dentists are allowed to use the veneers, it is necessary to complete a training course and obtain a certificate from the manufacturer Denmat.

Composite veneers

Composite veneer is tooth-colored composite resin (a plastic-ceramic mixture) that is applied to the front surface of your teeth. Composite veneers are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional porcelain veneers because they are less invasive and require less preparation of the natural tooth.

They are particularly suitable for covering minor blemishes on otherwise healthy teeth, such as slight discoloration or small gaps between teeth. Composite veneers offer the advantage over other types of veneers that they are much easier to maintain and signs of wear can be repaired by simply polishing or re-coating with composite.

Composite veneers can improve the appearance of your teeth and smile, and they are also an effective way toprotect your teeth from further damage .

Komposit Veneers

Composite veneers can help correct a number of dental problems, including:

Composite veneers treatment procedure

If you choose composite veneers , the procedure is relatively straightforward and takes place during one appointment . First, your dentist will examine your teeth and smile to determine if composite veneers are right for you. If so, he will prepare your teeth for the veneers. This involves lightly roughening a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth to create a rough surface for the composite to adhere to. As a rule, however, healthy tooth substance does not have to be ground off .

In addition, there is no need to call in a dental technician to create the veneers, as the treating dentist can perform the modeling directly. In this case, the composite is applied directly to the affected tooth and modeled into the desired shape. After the composite has cured, the tooth is then ground to its final shape.

Cost: Composite veneers are usually less expensive than ceramic veneers. The main reasons for this are the lower material costs and the lower personnel costs due to the fact that no dental technician has to be involved. The average cost of composite veneers ranges from 250 euros to 800 euros per tooth.

If you are considering composite veneers, be sure to consult with a qualified dentist to make sure they are the right option for you. Composite veneers are not for everyone, and your dentist will be able to advise you if they are the best option for you.

Instant veneers

Instant veneers, also called veneers-to-go, are prefabricated and standardized veneers that can be applied to the teeth in just one session. They are the cheapest and fastest alternative compared to the other types of veneers, due to the fact that no cooperation with a dental technician is necessary. The veneers are made of ceramic or composite (plastic-ceramic mixture) and are very thin so that they look like natural teeth. However, due to the standardization of the veneers, use on the patient is rarely possible.

Instant veneers can help correct a number of dental problems, including:

Procedure for the treatment of immediate veneers

Applying veneers-to-go is a relatively simple and quick process that can be completed in just one session. Here, immediate veneers are adapted to the affected tooth and then directly inserted. However, in most cases it is necessary to grind down the enamel before use, so that the enamel is irreversibly damaged.

Instant veneers are a good option for people who want to improve their smile quickly and effectively. This type of veneer is often used as a temporary solution, especially for accident patients or children. If you are considering instant veneers, be sure to consult with a qualified dentist to see if instant veneers are right for you.

Cost of instant veneers

Immediate veneers are the most cost-effective option compared to the other types of veneers. The main reasons for this are the lower material costs and the lower personnel costs due to the fact that no dental technician has to be involved. The average cost of immediate veneers ranges from 250 euros to 800 euros per tooth.

Summary

Veneers are a type of dental prosthesis that can improve the appearance of teeth. They are made of ceramic or composite and are bonded or applied to the front surface of the teeth (in the case of composite veneers). Veneers can be used to correct a number of dental problems, such as gaps between teeth, misshapen teeth , or discolored teeth.

Veneers also help to protect tooth surfaces from wear. Basically, veneers are divided into reversible types (non-prep veneers and composite veneers) and irreversible types (conventional veneers and immediate veneers).

If you choose conventionalor non-prep veneers, the dentist will take an impression of your teeth and send it to a lab where the veneers will be made. Once the veneers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth and polished. Veneers can last for many years with proper care.

If you are thinking of having veneers made, you should consult a dentist to determine if they are suitable for you. Veneers are not for everyone and may not be the best option for your particular dental situation. Veneers are also not permanent and will need to be replaced at some point.
