Dental veneers in madrid

The price of aesthetic veneers ranges between 200-600€, depending on the material used. Composite veneers (those made with resin of the desired color, which is adhered layer by layer on the external appearance of our tooth) are usually cheaper because they are made in the clinic in one session. Ceramic veneers have a somewhat higher cost, since they are made by the laboratory technician. The cost also depends on the type of ceramic used, with feldspar veneers, for example, costing more than lithium disilicate veneers.

It is always essential to be evaluated by a dentist specialized in dental aesthetics, since there are people who can have both types of veneers, but there are also people who should not have ceramic veneers (due to the type of bite), and it will be better to opt for another option, or even patients in whom it is better to place them in ceramic instead of composite because the underlying color of the tooth would show through (extreme coloration of the tooth, certain degrees of staining due to tetracyclines...).

Veneers are very thin plates that are adhere to the outside of the teeth. They are placed to improve the shape, size and color of the teeth and to achieve a more harmonious and symmetrical smile. We can distinguish between two types of veneers, resin or composite (the "white" material with which "fillings" are also made) and ceramic or porcelain. It is a cosmetic treatment that, in a simple and minimally invasive way, can greatly improve the aesthetics of the smile. For this reason, it is a treatment in great demand by our patients due to the fantastic results obtained. In the case of short teeth or teeth of small size, veneers are usually combined with a treatment called "coronary lengthening", which is performed prior to their placement. Through this therapy, the gum is trimmed (and the underlying tissues are softened as necessary) to expose a larger amount of tooth and through the veneers, simulate that our teeth are longer. In addition, it is also possible to close spaces between the teeth, the so-called "diastemas", if orthodontic treatment to bring the teeth together is not to be performed. It is very important to perform what is called a "mock up" or simulation of how the treatment is going to look like before performing it. To do this, using smile photos and intraoral scans of the patient's mouth, the specialist designs a new smile and the records are sent to the laboratory. There, a digital model is generated with the simulation that, in resin and on the teeth, we test on the patient's mouth. With this, you can look in the mirror and see perfectly if you like the new design or if modifications need to be made.

Composite veneers are made by placing material (white resin) on the teeth. Before starting, the color of the patient's teeth is taken, and the patient, with the advice of the specialist, chooses, by means of a shade guide, the color he/she wants for his/her teeth. Then, in the clinic, and usually in one visit, the resin is layered over the front aspect of the tooth until the desired color and shape is achieved. Finally, a good polishing of the veneer is essential to keep it smooth and smooth. Lithium disilicate or feldspathic veneers are ceramic and are made by the laboratory technician. In the clinic, the esthetic specialist minimally prepares the tooth (removes an extremely thin layer of enamel) and takes an impression (molds of the teeth) to send to the laboratory. There, the technician makes the veneers with great care, with the colors, shape, size and details that the specialist has indicated, and sends them to the clinic for testing. When everything is ready, they are adapted and cemented for the final result.

Advantages of composite veneers

• The cost is lower than the ceramic veneers.
• . They are made in the clinic in a single session.
• No enamel is removed except in special cases.
• They can be repaired or retouched at any time

Advantages of ceramic veneers.

• They are more than provide the best esthetics.
• They do not stain or require touch-ups.
• They allow to increase the length of the teeth .
