What is porcelain veneers?

Veneer is a thin, translucent ceramic bowl for the teeth, with a special adhesive on the tooth surface - is applied especially of front teeth -. The holding shell is made of ceramic (porcelain). Except for rare allergy to the fixing material, the use of ceramic veneers that usually is not a health hazard because the ceramic material has a high biocompatibility. Problems exist only in very massive fluoridated tooth enamel. Veneers can easily misaligned teeth, missing teeth, unsatisfactory tooth discoloration and local color to be corrected. By Veneers receive the visible surfaces of the teeth, an optimized look, and the tooth color is corrected individually in this process. As a rule, be removed when in use, old plastic fillings or corner assemblies.


All-ceramic restoration

Ceramic is light transmission and tooth color, thus enabling a very esthetic tooth image. It is also chemically inert, which means it goes in your mouth not in solution and therefore is biologically very compatible.

Procedure

There is a thin layer (0.3 - 1.0 mm) removed from the tooth enamel. This preparation is based on the anatomical characteristics with the aim to achieve an optimal cosmetic result and durable. There is an impression. The temporary restoration is done with Kunststoffveneers. The dental technician to produce the veneer on the model and are there for the insertion to the dentist. After the try by the dentist, the tooth is cleaned and dried, ideally using rubber dam. The enamel is etched, possibly free-lying dentin is treated with a so-called dentin. The porcelain veneers are treated with special Keramikätzgel and silanized to ensure good adhesion of the composite-plastic adhesive. The bonding of the ceramic to the tooth is quite complicated and usually takes all preparatory measures about 30 minutes per tooth.

Through the application of new, innovative technologies, there is now the possibility veneers in the thickness of contact lenses (about 0.2 mm) to produce. These offer the advantage that it directly to the tooth structure, ie without previous grinding can be applied. This Non-Prep or Non-Invasive Veneers also offer the opportunity extended indications. Unlike traditional veneers, they can be adhesively attached to earlier plastic fillings, ceramic crowns and bridges.

Patented advancements enable today by so-called insertion aid is time saving, since all the veneer of a patient can be incorporated simultaneously. This approach saves about 80-90% of the time that was needed for traditional veneers and reduces the cost considerably.

Depending on the quality and effort that must be operated for Veneers (ceramic or hybrid plastic), a veneer costs somewhere between € 500.00 and € 1 500,00.

Whether and to what extent, then a privately health insured patients, the fees and laboratory costs of producing and using such preparations are to be reimbursed by his health insurance makes, and sometimes in disputes. At least if the veneer will be used not only for aesthetic reasons, but to be regarded as reasonable care is the Landgericht Frankfurt am Main arrives in a ruling from 2004 to refund the duty of the private health insurance.

Getting veneers gave it in the 30s, at that time as Kunststoffveneers. The former child star Shirley Temple was probably too short, ugly teeth. On the set always had her dentist be present for them with a number of veneers. The adhesive technology was not yet known.

Veneers are manufactured by dental technicians or advanced CAD / CAM centers. There are dental technicians who have specialized in the manufacture of ceramic veneers for cosmetic restoration.
