- The tooth model is sent to the laboratory to manufacture the lenses according to the appropriate size.
- It takes up to 15 days to manufacture the lenses.
- After the lenses are manufactured, the doctor installs the model received from the laboratory to ensure that the lenses fit the size and color of the teeth.
- The teeth are thoroughly cleaned to ensure that there are no bacteria or germs before installing the lenses.
- The doctor uses the grinding machine, which is a special machine used to heat the surface of the teeth.
- The special cement is applied to the surface of the teeth, and the lenses are ensured to adhere properly.
- Ultraviolet light is used to dry the cement layer thoroughly, and this is the last step in installing the veneers.
Veneer Lenses
There are many names for dental veneers, such as tooth shells, porcelain shells, porcelain teeth, and porcelain laminates, which consist of thin, multi-colored laminates that adhere to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. The installation can last from 7 to 15 years at most, after which it must be replaced.
What materials are veneers made of?
Dental veneers are a cosmetic treatment used to improve the appearance of teeth, and they are installed by adding a thin shell to the front surface of the teeth, covering any defects that may exist. These shells are characterized by their ability to protect against stains and discoloration, in addition to cracks and chips in the teeth. Dental veneers are primarily made of two materials:
- Porcelain: It is manufactured in a special dental laboratory and is a thin material used to make adhesive lenses. It is suitable for natural tooth enamel and has a high ability to resist stains and discoloration. It is also characterized by its strength and hardness, as well as its resistance to rust and corrosion, and it is unique in its ability to reflect light as closely as possible to natural teeth.
- Resin: These are plastic-like materials used to make adhesive lenses for teeth, and their expected lifespan is up to 5 years, after which they must be replaced. They are characterized by their availability in many places, in addition to their high flexibility and pliability. However, one of their major drawbacks is that their color changes after a period of time, and they are also susceptible to damage with use. Additionally, they do not match the color of natural teeth and have poor resistance to tooth stains and discoloration.

- They close gaps between teeth and make them look more harmonious and beautiful.
Before Installing Dental Veneers
Before installing dental veneers, several steps must be followed to prepare and condition the teeth for proper veneer installation. These steps begin as follows:
- Visit a dentist who is experienced in installing dental veneers.

- X-rays are taken before any procedure to ensure there are no problems with the teeth.
- The dentist treats any gum or tooth problems before installing the veneer lenses.

Disadvantages of Veneer Lenses

- When consuming hard foods, the lens shells may fall off.
- Veneer lenses cannot be installed if the teeth are unhealthy.
- Some cases require full tooth coverage with a crown.
Cost of Dental Veneers
The cost and price of installing dental veneer lenses is very high, especially since the installation process is part of cosmetic procedures, which causes its cost to be high and varies from one place to another. It is determined according to several factors, including:

Problems Treated by Dental Veneers
One of the problems treated by dental veneers is:
- Tooth discoloration, where veneers cover severely discolored natural teeth that may not respond to tooth whitening options.
- Veneers help solve the problem of broken teeth by placing a veneer shell over the broken tooth to cover the damaged part.
- If the teeth need to be reshaped, dental veneers are the ideal solution by covering the outer surface of the tooth and reshaping the teeth.
Candidates for Dental Veneers
The dental veneer procedure is a cosmetic operation that works to conceal tooth defects for people:
- Who suffer from yellowing and staining of teeth due to consuming coffee, tea, or alcohol, as well as smokers and those who take certain medications that cause tooth yellowing.
- Whose teeth have been cracked.
- Who have gaps in their teeth, especially in the front, affecting their aesthetic appearance.
- With congenital defects in their teeth, such as crooked or misaligned teeth.
- Who have severe yellowing that the dentist could not remove through whitening sessions or medical products.
Alternatives to Dental Veneers
Veneers are one of the latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry, where this technique involves placing thin cosmetic shells on the surface of the teeth to change their shape and improve their appearance. However, there are some alternatives to veneers that can be used to improve the appearance of teeth, including:
- Teeth Whitening: This procedure cannot conceal all tooth defects and problems and is not beneficial for those who suffer from tooth erosion or gaps between teeth, as it only works to remove stains and make the teeth appear whiter and shinier.
- Lumineer Technology: Lumineers are the most effective and closest alternative to dental veneers due to their high similarity in use and being the latest safe alternative to solving tooth problems. Lumineers consist of a small, thin shell with a thickness of half a millimeter, which is installed on the teeth in a similar way to installing veneers. However, it does not require grinding the first layer of tooth enamel, so it does not cause heat sensitivity, unlike veneers. It is also easier to install, but its drawback is its high cost.
- Crowns: This procedure is one of the best alternative options to installing tooth lenses and is the most widespread and commonly used in cosmetic centers around the world. This is due to its low cost compared to other alternatives and lenses themselves. The teeth or molars are ground from all directions, and the crown edges are installed around the circumference of the molar or tooth.
