Each of us wants to have a beautiful smile. However, not everyone has such an opportunity. The fact is that some people have certain problems: crooked teeth, spaces between them, gum disease. Today, there are many ways to fix these problems. For example, veneer on teeth is a very effective device that does not require the use of prostheses.

First of all, the element is able to hide cracks, chips, poor color of enamel. In addition, the veneer on the teeth is able to eliminate the gaps between them.
However, it is not always possible to use such an element. For example, a veneer cannot be mounted in case of any gum disease. Also, such a product should not be used if the tooth has very weak roots or is partially missing.
Features of installing veneer
It should be noted that the presented elements are made individually for each patient. Veneers for teeth, the cost of which is at least $ 150, are made in the laboratory. Fixing the product is a painstaking process.
After the element has been made in the laboratory, it is necessary to try it on. If it adheres tightly to the tooth surface, its color corresponds to the natural shade and it does not have any defects, so you can start gluing. Otherwise, the product is adjusted. The doctor must check whether the
bite will be
correct after using this method of restoration.
Next, the enamel must be etched with a special solution, which contributes to the appearance of a rough surface. Next, a small layer of cementitious substance must be applied to the veneer and firmly applied to the base.
Lining Care Features
It should be noted that simply correctly attaching the product to the tooth surface is not enough, it requires some care. Only in this case will the pad rest on the enamel and perform its function for about 10 years.
So, dental hygiene must be thorough. To do this, you need to use not only toothpaste, but also floss. This is especially true for those parts of enamel that are not coated with veneer. It is also necessary to use antibacterial mouth rinses.
