About veneers Lumineers for 100€, 200€, 500€, 1500€

If you want to have the same charming and snow-white smile as foreign show business stars, we recommend that you get lumineers. It is no coincidence that they are called Hollywood veneers. The secret to producing these ultra-thin onlays belongs to the dental laboratory Den-Mat, located in California, USA, and many celebrities actually use its services. However, everyone can achieve the perfect smile. The Doctor Granov clinic cooperates with the Den-Mat laboratory and has a special certificate for carrying out the procedure, so we offer the installation of original lumineers at the lowest possible price.

What it is?

Lumineers are the thinnest ceramic dental coverings available today. They are similar to veneers, but their thickness is only 0.2 mm. We recommend installing them in the following cases:

you don’t want to grind down your tooth to install veneers - for example, you already have very thin enamel;
by nature, your teeth have an ugly shape or grow crookedly;
there are noticeable gaps between the teeth;
it is necessary to straighten the dentition;
There are cracks, abrasions, chips on the teeth;
old fillings have noticeably darkened and look ugly;
There are stains on the teeth caused by fluorosis or medication that conventional whitening methods could not cope with.

Flaws

Despite the wide range of advantages, lumineers still have some disadvantages:

plates installed on a tooth without preparation look larger than natural crowns ;
Their service life depends on fixation . If fragile linings were installed poorly, then there is a high probability of rapid failure;
Since lumineers provide the natural transparency of the tooth, when installed on crowns with pronounced stains, it is difficult to completely disguise them . This can be achieved by reducing the transparency of the record, but then it will look like plastic;
When choosing to fix onlays without preparing the crown, protrusions are formed along the gum line and in the interdental space. This contributes to the accumulation of a large number of microbes in these areas. The risk of caries and periodontal inflammation increases . may be injured by the edge of the plate.

Benefits of Lumineers

To install ultra-thin lumineers, no special tooth preparation is required, unlike veneers and crowns.
They do not increase tooth sensitivity.
Quickly and reliably mask all aesthetic imperfections of the dentition.
To install them, you will need to visit the doctor only two or three times: first for a diagnostic examination and taking impressions, and then for fitting and installation of the onlays.
They last several times longer than conventional veneers.
They do not lose their original color and shine over the years.
They do not stain under the negative influence of red wine, coffee, tea, berries, tobacco smoke, and some medications.
They have the same light transmission as natural tooth enamel.
Externally, they are no different from natural teeth.
Very durable and can withstand physical stress very well.
They do not require complex special care.
Completely harmless to teeth.
There are no age restrictions. Can be used for both teenagers and adults.
It has been proven that teeth under lumineers are less susceptible to caries and destruction.
The installation process is completely painless and safe for the patient.
Low risk of allergic reactions.
The adhesive on which lumineers are fixed contains fluoride, thus, a kind of remineralization of the enamel occurs.
In the absence of contraindications, lumineers are an excellent solution to many aesthetic problems and a profitable investment.

conclusions

A study of patient opinions gives grounds to conclude that in most cases, the installation of ceramic veneers justifies the investment in it, since such veneer structures last a long time and have an aesthetic appearance.

The installation of composite veneers had a positive response only at the very beginning of the process of wearing these veneer structures. But after a few months (maximum a year), people came to the conclusion that composite veneers were “a waste of money.” Because they change color, they absorb dyes from food and drinks. The owners of such veneers had to drink coffee and tea through a straw, and cut apples into pieces or grate them.

The installation of lumineers on teeth received only the warmest and most positive reviews, with the exception of those cases when the procedure was carried out in “dubious” dental clinics, where veneer structures on teeth were made in violation of production technology, and doctors then refused to fulfill warranty obligations.

Veneers can solve many problems with a patient's front teeth and correct defects in color, shape and position. The main thing is to prepare well for the procedure for installing veneers and choose the right dental clinic and a competent attending physician. The specialists of the LeaderStom clinic are pleased to offer you high-quality services for the manufacture and installation of veneers on your teeth in compliance with the necessary technologies.

Cons of Lumineers

High cost compared to veneers and crowns. However, their installation is very popular among our patients.
Can only be installed on healthy teeth and in the absence of periodontal disease.
Their edges extend about 1.5-2 mm beyond the edges of natural teeth, so the jaw may look a little massive.
If you are involved in a traumatic sport - hockey, boxing - then installing lumineers does not make sense.
It is also not recommended to install them if you have pathological abrasion of enamel, bruxism, or the habit of constantly gnawing something.

In what cases is fixation of overlays indicated?

Microprosthetics allows you to solve a whole range of aesthetic problems at once. Here are the main indications for its implementation:

yellowness of the enamel, pigmented areas,
darkening of teeth and the inability to lighten them using in-office whitening,
fluorosis or tetracycline teeth as a result of long-term use of tetracycline antibiotics, which causes the enamel to become yellow,
presence of minor chips and cracks,
crowding or slight curvature,
small crown height,
Tremas and diastemas are interdental spaces.

With the help of microprostheses you can get rid of yellow teeth.
We are talking only about minor defects and the desire to get a dazzling smile. However, in more complex cases their installation will not be possible. In case of severe curvature or destruction, you will have to resort to orthodontic methods or full prosthetics.

How are lumineers installed in our clinic?

During your first visit, your doctor will take impressions and create a computer model of your future smile. The impressions taken are sent along with an electronic file to the Den-Mat dental laboratory. There, they are used to make lumineers from especially durable ceramics “Cerinate” using secret technology. After about a month, the doctor will invite you for a fitting. If everything is in order, the installation begins. For a better fit of the lining, the tooth enamel is roughened. To do this, it is etched with a special acid. Then the doctor uses glue-cement to fix the lumineer to the surface of the tooth. The installation procedure is not at all as simple as it seems at first glance. It can only be performed by an experienced, highly qualified, certified doctor. If the plates are placed incorrectly, then serious problems may arise in the future: for example, a gap forms between the lumineers and the gum, where food debris accumulates and rots. The dentists of our clinic have been trained and have the appropriate permits to install lumineers.

Kinds

The manufacturing company Cerinate produces 2 types of lumineers, which differ in the manufacturing method. Original onlays are made from individual impressions: the doctor takes an impression of the teeth being restored and sends it to a laboratory located in America.

The finished lumineer arrives in Russia by mail and is a unique product made in full accordance with the anatomical features of the oral cavity of a particular patient. Such onlays have a high degree of wearing comfort and very accurately follow the contours of natural teeth.

Duo PCH dental lumineers are also Cerinate products, made on the basis of proprietary ceramics, but onlay templates are already available in the Russian clinic. This type of prosthesis appeared relatively recently and has the advantage of a shorter production time. That is, you will not have to wait for the impressions to be sent and receive the goods by mail - the entire process will take place directly at the Russian medical institution.

Important!
There are only two brands of original lumineers - Cerinate and Duo PCH. They have no other names.

Contraindications to the installation of lumineers

Neglect of oral hygiene rules.
Possible allergic reaction to pad materials.
Diseases of the tissues surrounding and supporting the tooth.
Declining and deep bite.
Degenerative processes in oral tissues.
Presence of extensive caries.
Serious eye diseases, such as retinal dystrophy, cataracts, etc.
Installed pacemaker.
Grinding of teeth, especially in sleep.
Bad habits that spoil teeth: biting seeds, pens, nails.

Estimated cost - which method will cost more

Lumineers are a more expensive option for prosthetics, although today Russian manufacturers offer their own, more budget-friendly analogue of ultra-thin plates. Approximate prices for installation of products of different brands and from different materials are shown in the table below.

Types of microprostheses	Approximate cost for 1 pad
Ceramic E.Max	30 thousand rubles.
On a zirconium dioxide frame	25 thousand rubles.
From ceramic composite	20 thousand rubles.
Lumineer DUO	45 thousand rubles.
Lumineer Cerinate	65 thousand rubles.

How to properly care for lumineers?

In order for the pads to last as long as possible, they must be maintained regularly. It's very simple and won't take you much time.

Brush your teeth regularly and rinse your mouth with dental elixir after each meal.
Particular attention should be paid to the interdental spaces. Clean them of any stuck food debris. If a carious area appears, it will be in this place.
Do not bite hard things - nails, nuts, seeds, pencils, pens, crackers - and do not open or bite anything with your teeth.
Visit your dentist at least twice a year for routine checkups and oral hygiene.

Ultraneers or “E.max ultra-thin veneers”

Ultraneers are created from German-made E.max ceramics. They are much thinner than veneers, but slightly thicker than lumineers - their thickness is no more than 0.6 mm. Therefore, in some cases, it is possible to do without tooth preparation, or to carry out very minimal grinding.

Pros:

excellent aesthetics comparable to Lumineers,
an alternative to lumineers in almost all respects,
maximum naturalness of the renewed dentition,
preservation of the color and shape of the dentures,
more durable ceramics than those used to create veneers, which is why ultraneers are thinner than veneers,
fast production times for overlays, because they are created in Russia,
long service life - 10 years or more.

Minuses:

Among the relative disadvantages of ultranir is, again, their cost. They are 30% cheaper than lumineers, but restoring the entire dentition will still cost a pretty penny. In addition, when installing ultraneers, it is often necessary to grind the teeth, albeit minimally.

Expert comment:

Alina Chilingaryan, dental therapist: “Ultraneers are an intermediate option between inexpensive veneers and high-priced lumineers. Their cost is 30% lower than lumineers, that is, about 20 thousand rubles per tooth. At the same time, they can be installed faster, since they are created in Russia. But in some cases you can’t do without turning.”

Manufacturer

Lumineers have been used in dentistry for more than two decades, but in Russia they have gained popularity since 2005. The manufacturer and patent holder of the production technology is the American company Cerinate.

Lumineers are made from ceramic with the addition of crystalline leucite, which gives the material excellent aesthetic characteristics. It does not contain metallic inclusions, which eliminates even the slightest reflection of light in the microprosthesis. Light can circulate and penetrate the adjustment freely, just like natural enamel. It is no coincidence that leucite is often used in jewelry making.

Ceramics for overlay lumineers, produced using Cerinate technology, are not only beautiful, but also have great mechanical strength. Original products are not susceptible to chipping or cracking, which ensures a long service life.
