The most common thing you may hear in various clinics about «porcelain and highly artistic» veneers is that they are customized. But it’s much more interesting and complicated.
Let’s start from the middle: to make the veneers fit more snugly, your teeth are slightly ground down and don’t look quite attractive, so we install temporary plastic veneers while the permanent veneers are being made.
They look like your future ones, but still remind of the early 90th fashion, when the similar smiles of pop stars with unrealistically large and unnaturally white teeth sparkled from the TV screens.
Real porcelain and highly artistic veneers are the result of «jewelry» handwork of the technician and doctor separately with each unit. Ultra-thin plates are not «stamped», but made of zirconium or ceramic on an individual order, considering the anatomical features of each tooth — because teeth are individual just like fingerprints.
The porcelain and highly artistic veneers at Implantum are made using digital technology and under constant supervision:
- Instead of a silicone cast, the oral cavity is scanned with a special 3D camera. «Digital» cast only takes 5 minutes to be ready and gives a virtual model of the jaws, identical to the original to every smallest detail.
- A «digital» cast just in seconds can be sent anywhere in the world, allowing the clinic to work with highly qualified international specialists, who will «print» your jaws on a 3D printer.
- The veneers are separately made by hand, each unit is discussed in the smallest detail with the doctor and takes several hours to be ready. Each veneer is colored, has individual relief with vertical and horizontal veins, and then evaluated by the doctor one more time.
- Producing veneers according to this technological method, under the careful attention of a technician and a highest qualification doctor, all inaccuracies are excluded, eliminating unnecessary visits of the patient to the clinic for fitting and adjustment.
- Installation of porcelain and highly artistic veneers does not require trimming of enamel by 1–1.5 millimeters, as it was a few years ago. Instead, a gentle grinding of only 0.3–0.5 millimeters is sufficient to ensure a perfect fit to the tooth.
Clinics offering super-cheap veneers install standard and identical veneers for all patients. Photo, as usual, is more eloquent than any words: below is a photo of veneers installed in one of the prestigious clinics in Yerevan «with discounts and promotions»:
Below on the left are veneers created and fitted by us, at IMPLANTUM, and on the right are cheap «non-porcelain and highly artistic» veneers. The savings are obvious from five meters to the naked eye, and it’s just as obvious that it’s not worth saving money on.
Only the dentist who installed your new teeth for you will be able to distinguish them from your natural ones. The service life of porcelain veneers is 15 years and more, they do not darken over time, do not chip, and due to the precise and tight fit to the tooth, caries does not form under them.
