Recently, removable Perfect Smile veneers have been gaining popularity online, which you can buy for pennies compared to real ones. What they are can only be understood by seeing reviews of removable dental veneers with photos.

What are temporary veneers, why get them and how long will you have to wear them?

Today, installing veneers that make a smile attractive is a procedure that is available to everyone. And almost a century ago, only Hollywood actors could afford them, and even then not for long - only for the period of time while filming took place. Celebrity stylists put thin plates on the teeth as a kind of make-up or disguise defects, and glued them with a temporary composition. After 1-2 days, such overlays were removed. Today, high-quality veneers that are installed in dental offices are permanent structures that serve their owners for 5-7 or more years (depending on the properties of the selected material). However, on the Internet you can find information about removable veneers. What are these structures? Find out more in our article today!

Finally, I found a doctor who I can trust with a complex operation to install implants. I have been to several clinics. At Doctor Bon I had an appointment with doctor P.N. Berezin. The doctor convinced me with his age and extensive work experience, he conducted the consultation as informatively as possible, talked about the features of my case and the stages of the operation. He clearly convinced me why other treatment options are not suitable. The operation was carried out as carefully as possible, one can feel the vast experience of his work. I recommend the doctor Original review

What are veneers

Veneers are very thin shells made of composite material, zirconium dioxide or ceramic. They are glued to the filed enamel surface with special cement in order to make the patient's front teeth ideal, i.e. hide all external cosmetic defects and imperfections: chips, cracks, unsightly shade, fillings, diastema, slight curvature.

This orthopedic solution has its pros and cons. For example, its advantages include high aesthetic results and low trauma during installation compared to crowns. And among the disadvantages is a fairly high price. Also, do not forget that grinding the enamel before installing veneers is still necessary, and this process is irreversible, because After removal, the teeth will no longer look the same as before.

Price of veneers for lower teeth at the Doctor Bon clinic

Almost always, the cost of veneers is indicated per unit, so nothing depends on the location of the teeth. That is why the price of veneers for the lower jaw is based on the number of onlays installed. At the Doctor Bon clinic, preference is given to installing indirect veneers. We use only the best products - veneers made from E.max glass ceramics and zirconium dioxide. These are the most reliable and beautiful products that the dental industry has to offer today. These veneers combine strength, durability and unsurpassed aesthetics. Their cost in our clinic starts from 22,000 rubles

- this is one of the most democratic proposals in Moscow.

The main advantages of treatment at Doctor Bon dentistry, in addition to the loyal pricing policy, are the convenient location and highly qualified doctors, each of whom has achieved great heights in their specialty.

What are removable veneers and what are they for?

These are temporary overlays or caps made of plastic that the doctor installs on the teeth after preparing the enamel and taking impressions. The fact is that permanent veneers still need to be made in a dental laboratory so that they recreate the anatomy of the patient’s natural teeth as accurately as possible and look natural. The production of onlays can take from 1 week to a month, it all depends on the workload of the laboratory. During this period of time, the ground enamel does not look very aesthetically pleasing, and without temporary overlays it will also remain defenseless against external influences: bacteria, plaque, temperature and hardness of food.

To protect the ground enamel, doctors resort to the use of removable veneers. The plates are made of plastic and attached with glue, which, however, can be easily removed in the dental office. Such onlays allow you to protect your teeth while the patient is waiting for a follow-up appointment with the orthopedist.

Completely edentulous

Every modern person strives to look stylish and attractive. An important detail of any image is a beautiful and healthy smile. The absence of even one tooth can cause complexes and self-doubt; a person may become less sociable and be reluctant to make new friends. The Hollywood smile is the calling card of any public figure, with the exception of those representatives of show business who have become popular precisely because of their extraordinary appearance.

The absence of even one unit can cause the development of unpleasant complications in the near future. Therefore, experts strongly recommend closely monitoring the condition of the oral cavity and promptly seeking qualified help. Surgical intervention in case of tooth loss allows you to avoid displacement of nearby healthy neighbors, as well as restore it with the least time and financial costs. If the bone tissue has time to atrophy, a complex and lengthy procedure for its augmentation will be required.

Losing a couple of units from a row can cause problems with diction and problems with the digestive system due to the fact that it is not possible to chew food well. If a prosthesis or implant is not installed, over time, facial features will change, deep wrinkles will appear, and the skin will become less elastic. The longer a person lives without teeth, the more difficult it will be to restore his beautiful smile. Of course, a lot depends on the doctor’s qualifications, but sometimes situations arise that are so advanced that even the most experienced implantologist is powerless.

Perfect Smile overlay veneers

By removable veneers, dentists mean temporary overlays that protect the patient’s teeth from external influences for that period of time until permanent ones are made. However, today on the Internet you can find offers from various online stores in which users are told about the advantages of inexpensive overlay veneers. For example, Perfect Smile from the USA. Manufacturers claim that this miracle product allows you to achieve an ideal snow-white smile for a while and does not require you to make any sacrifices at all, i.e. allow you to do without grinding the enamel.

But let’s look at their main advantages from the manufacturer’s point of view, and then the disadvantages from the point of view of deceived buyers who have already fallen for the tricks of marketers advertising this product and many beautiful pictures. We will also find out the opinion of professional dentists on this matter.

The manufacturer claims that such devices are universal and are suitable for absolutely all people who need to look irresistible at some event (wedding, business meeting, photo and video shooting). The essence of this method is simple: temporary products are put on the teeth like a mouthguard, and are held securely due to the chemical properties of the material.

To use these veneers, you need to heat them in boiling water for a few minutes, then remove them using a clean cutlery, let them cool slightly and place them tightly on the upper or lower teeth. This is done so that the inside of the veneers adapts to the individual structure of the dentition. After which the pad is removed and placed in a glass of cold water. After the outer side of the veneers turns snow-white, they are placed on the teeth and worn.

Important! Although temptingly cheap, such overlay plates have several significant drawbacks. For example, they do not have an individual design, they do not take into account the structure of the oral cavity, which means they may be uncomfortable to wear. Besides, they look unnatural. In addition, they have to be removed before each meal, otherwise they quickly become unusable.

It would seem that in the head of someone who is going to buy overlays, an ideal image is created. However, in reality everything turns out to be not so beautiful. Plastic or propylene products that people received by mail, after placing them in boiling water, immediately stuck to their teeth, but as soon as they cooled down, they instantly fell off, i.e. They don't stay in the mouth at all. Users also note that they have an unpleasant taste and smell of plastic, like any cheap Chinese product. Plus, the onlays did not fit the size of the teeth, because, of course, they are templates, and at the same time they are not made in a jewelry manner.

Dentists and orthopedists are of the same opinion: if you want to solve dental problems, go to a professional doctor, and do not buy masquerade toys that have a dubious composition. Not only will they not make your smile attractive, but they can also negatively affect your health, because no one rules out the toxicity of the material from which these products are made. In addition, you need to use common sense and understand that pads that are fixed to the water are nonsense.

Let's think about how often our patients ask this question? Yes, this is a constantly arising question among people who want a “Hollywood” smile, and at the same time have several missing teeth or their complete absence, thinking that the main thing is to have beautiful front teeth.

In short, veneers are thin plates that are glued to the front surface of the teeth, therefore the question of installing them in the absence of teeth disappears immediately; in this case, it is necessary to choose a different treatment tactic.

Perhaps it is worth examining in more detail the question of what are veneers?

Are they different? Are they suitable for everyone? And there are many more questions, especially for a person who has never heard of them or has a very superficial understanding.

Veneers cover the front surface of the tooth. The main function of veneers is aesthetic, although, in some cases, they also perform functional tasks.

What types of veneers are there?

  • ceramic;
  • from zirconium dioxide;
  • composite;

Again, a reasonable question from the patient: what is the difference between them?

Porcelain veneers are made in a laboratory from pressed ceramic. They have high aesthetics and last a long time. With their help, you can achieve almost completely natural teeth.

Veneers based on zirconium dioxide are also laboratory-made; their main advantage, in addition to good aesthetics, is the high strength of the material, they also do not fade and have a long service life.

Composite veneers are made from filling material directly in the dental chair. The advantage of such overlays is the speed of their production and relatively low cost. The downsides are that they are not durable, can be stained with food coloring, and can chip.

The next question is: are veneers suitable for everyone and when are veneers needed in general?

Indications for installation of veneers are:

  • Discolored teeth (for various reasons) or fillings on teeth that cannot be chemically whitened;
  • Worn teeth;
  • Chips and cracks formed on the teeth;
  • Aesthetically unattractive gaps between teeth (threes, diastemas);
  • Minor anomalies in the shape of the teeth;

For a long service life of veneers, there must be certain indications, one of which is the presence of a complete dentition, especially the chewing teeth. After all, if at least one or two teeth are missing, then additional functional load will be placed on those teeth that the patient plans to cover with thin structures, and accordingly, the service life of such compositions is significantly reduced.

But this is not a reason to despair for patients who really want a beautiful smile using veneers. We just need an integrated approach to solving this problem. Let’s say several chewing teeth are missing, then one of the initial stages will be their restoration (implantation, bridges, etc.), and the next will be the production of veneers for the front teeth.

Again, I would like to point out the individuality of each clinical situation, and, accordingly, the solutions to these problems.

Therefore, the beginning of preparation for working with veneers is a detailed examination of all teeth and assessment of the situation in a particular patient. If necessary, complete treatment of all groups of teeth, elimination of gum problems.

The next step, if there are no contraindications to installing veneers, is to grind specific teeth for this type of work, if these are laboratory structures - taking impressions. When making ceramic and zirconium dioxide veneers, subsequent bonding to the tooth is done using special dental cement.

And here, our dear patient, you have the stunningly beautiful smile that we started our conversation about today.

Missing teeth is only one of the contraindications when installing veneers. Let's briefly go over other relative and absolute prohibitions on the installation of such microprostheses:

  • malocclusion;
  • pathological abrasion of teeth;
  • bad habits (grinding teeth at night or in stressful situations, lovers of seeds, nuts, biting sewing thread with teeth, constantly biting a ballpoint pen or pencil, etc.);
  • the presence of a very large filling on the tooth, occupying more than 1/2 of the crown (and even more so if the tooth is “dead”);
  • in the presence of gum disease or very serious caries on the tooth;
  • if the tooth has a problem at the root, it could be a cyst, granuloma, that is, any inflammatory formation;
  • veneers are not placed on an artificial root-implant; in this case, a full-fledged crown is required;

In any case, most of the listed contraindications, as mentioned above, are amenable to certain treatment and correction, after which you can still return to the issue of veneers.

Having briefly discussed the stages of manufacturing and installation of products, I would like to add that with professionally done work, veneers last for quite a decent number of years and their further service life will depend directly on their owner.

Again, a reasonable question arises for the patient: what should and should not be done after installing veneers?

Answer: there is no need to carry out any special measures; all that is required is to avoid injuries to the teeth, jaws and sudden changes in temperature. To brush your teeth, use non-abrasive pastes, floss regularly, and most importantly, visit the dentist once every six months for a preventive examination.

Perhaps another question that often arises: can I cover everything with crowns at once, after all, there seem to be so many conventions when installing and wearing these expensive and beautiful structures?

Maybe so, but this is subject to certain indications. And if the teeth are simply discolored, or have unsuccessful fillings, or are simply unattractive in shape, are you ready for significant grinding on all sides of the tooth? And of course, that naturalness and transparency can be achieved more with the use of veneers, or crowns made exclusively from metal-free ceramics.

What should you decide on in the end?

Remember that the final decision must be made together with the dentist, who will analyze the possible contraindications and conduct a detailed consultation. The doctor will recommend a final treatment option that suits the specific circumstances of your particular case.

How removable veneers are made and applied

Since the installation of temporary plates is one of the stages of prosthetics, they are made on the basis of the same impression that is made for turning permanent dentures. This allows you to create a product based on an individual layout, as well as correct shortcomings that are revealed during the installation of temporary veneers.

On a note! Sometimes on the Internet you can find information that composite veneers are called removable, which the doctor can install on the teeth in just one visit through layer-by-layer application of the composite, and, if necessary, also quickly remove or make corrections. However, in relation to composite onlays, terms such as “removable” or “temporary” cannot be used, because With careful care they can last 3-5 years.

To attach the plates, the doctor uses special cement, which will provide strong adhesion and protection from thermal effects, but can be easily removed from the tooth by the dentist.
