It is possible to change the color and shape of the front teeth without grinding your own teeth, and Hollywood veneers (Lumineers) – are conventionally called veneers fixed on teeth without their preliminary processing. Initially, veneers without turning their own teeth were made only by virtuoso technicians on refractors by layering, this is the most painstaking and unloved work by technicians because of its complexity, such work requires perseverance and jewelry accuracy from the dental technician – because at the minimum thickness of the veneer, you need to place up to several dozen shades of ceramics.
New ceramic material invented and patented. Its manufacturer claims that this material is super strong and will not fail for 20 years. The glue that is used to fix the veneers is again super strong and insoluble in saliva. Also, the manufacturers claim that, if the patient wishes, it is possible to easily and without problems remove the lumineers and return the teeth to their previous appearance (before veneering).
All this looks like an advertising murzilka, since this manufacturer does not provide a single photo of the proper quality. On the official website, the maximum photo resolution is less than what a mobile phone camera can give. But already from these photographs it is clear that the quality and aesthetics of many works are noticeably lame.
A big problem for dental hygiene is the overhanging edges of lumineers, which provoke diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis and dental caries.
Is it easy to remove Lumineers?
Will your own tooth enamel be harmed? In principle, minimal trauma to tooth enamel is possible, but to obtain a result of this level, it is necessary to work under a microscope. I wonder if anyone has seen dentists working with magnification? It's safe to say – no. Not a single dentist in the world will give the guarantees that advertising is full of. And it doesn’t hurt for patients to think – how is this the most durable cement that the manufacturer offers for fixation, suddenly, at the command of the dentist, it will release the enamel?
Millions of people in the world want to have a beautiful smile, but they don't want to sacrifice their own tooth enamel, no matter – it is uniformly white or covered with spots. People are frightened by stamped metal crowns from the Brezhnev era, have seen enough of swollen and bluish gums over metal ceramics, they are tired of every time hearing from the dentist that the old ceramics should be removed and a new one should be made (and it’s good if without removing teeth!) .. .
They will do anything – as long as the dentist does not saw his teeth! And they were given what they wanted – Hollywood veneers – lumineers– appeared white plates that can be glued directly onto old crowns and fillings. No need to put braces and saw teeth. – Ask your dentist! – broadcast commercials on dental websites and TV ...
Not all people can actually install veneers without teeth preparation. Classic cases:
- trema and diastema (gaps between teeth),
- oral tilt of the teeth.
Well, the main task of medicine – prevention, but if this moment is missed and the disease has developed, it is still worth to be patient and treat your teeth. And for a wonderful appearance, there are veneers and lumineers.
Estet-portal urges you to be vigilant and, first of all, pay attention not to the promises that manufacturers love to scatter in advertising, but to the words and recommendations of qualified specialists, in this case – dentists.
