Who are the Candidates for Installing Artificial Teeth?

Installing artificial teeth has become common in our present time, especially with people losing a large number of their teeth during different stages of life, as a result of many reasons that may be due to poor dental hygiene or failure to treat problems that teeth may face. Here are some of these cases:

• The patient may be exposed to tooth decay, and if left untreated, it may reach the roots of the tooth and cause some teeth to fall out.
• In case of severe inflammation of the teeth and failure to treat it, the condition may worsen, reaching the tooth supports, causing loosening and falling out of teeth.
• In case of accidents or collisions that cause a number of teeth to fall out.
• If the patient suffers from chronic diseases such as diabetes, which weakens the bones of the teeth and gums, causing loss of some teeth.

What are Veneer Lenses?

Veneer Lenses: They are called shells and are a set of thin lenses made of materials similar to natural teeth. They are glued to the front of the teeth with a strong adhesive after the teeth are ground, which helps to fix them. They are used to improve the appearance and shape of the teeth by hiding stains and rearranging the teeth.

What Materials are Veneers Made of?

There are several types of veneers that differ in the type of materials used in their manufacture, including:

• Porcelain Veneers: These are made of porcelain material, which is somewhat similar to natural teeth. They are characterized by their durability and strength, so they last for a long time. In addition, they do not require grinding of the tooth enamel layer.
• Composite Resin Veneers: These are made of resin material, which is characterized by an attractive and natural-looking appearance that makes the teeth look natural. They are also durable and do not require grinding of the tooth enamel layer, making them preferred by many dentists.

Advantages of Installing Veneers

There are many advantages that make veneers the first choice for cosmetic and therapeutic dental treatments. These advantages include:

• Improving the shape and appearance of the teeth, making them more attractive.
• Achieving bright white teeth in two sessions or less.
• Hiding all stains and spots on the teeth.

Before Installing Dental Veneers

There are some things the dentist does before installing veneers, including:

• The dentist performs a thorough examination of the teeth to ensure there are no problems.
• In case of cavities or gum inflammation, the dentist must treat them before installation.
• If the problems are treated or do not exist, the dentist thoroughly cleans the teeth and removes all bacteria and calculus stuck on the teeth and gums.
• After that, the dentist grinds a part of the tooth enamel to fix the veneer in the later stages.
• Taking measurements and shape of the teeth and sending them to the laboratory to make the veneers.
• Ensuring the selection of the appropriate color for the veneer that suits the patient’s appearance and skin tone. This is done by preparing a model and placing it near the patient’s face to determine the suitable color.

Steps to Install Veneers

There are several steps that the dentist goes through to install veneers, including the following:

• The dentist thoroughly examines the teeth to detect and treat any problems the patient may have.
• The dentist thoroughly cleans the teeth and removes any bacteria or calculus from the tooth surface or gums.
• The dentist then grinds a part of the tooth enamel, about 0.5 mm, and roughens it to fix the veneer when installed.
• The dentist takes measurements and dimensions of the teeth in molds and sends them to the laboratory to manufacture the veneers.
• Selecting the appropriate color for the veneer that suits the patient’s appearance and skin tone.
• Placing temporary shells until the permanent ones are ready.
• After two weeks, the dentist ensures that the permanent shells match the patient’s skin tone, then places them on the tooth surface using a strong adhesive.

Disadvantages of Veneer Lenses

Although the lenses have many advantages, they may have some drawbacks, including:

• It is difficult to remove the veneer and restore the teeth to their natural state.
• Veneers cannot be repaired in case of cracking or chipping.
• They may cause some sensitivity for the patient to hot and cold foods and beverages.
• The color of the veneer may not match the patient’s appearance and face, so care must be taken when choosing it as it is difficult to remove.
• Cavities may occur under the veneer, which may result from the dentist’s failure to properly clean the teeth.

Cost of Installing Veneers

It is not possible to determine a specific cost for installing veneers, as their prices are determined according to a set of criteria that must be taken into account, including:

• The dentist’s skill and ability to install veneers accurately.
• Treating any problems the patient may have before installing the veneers.
• The cost is determined according to the location where the veneers will be installed and the offers and services they will provide.
• The type of material used in the manufacture of the veneers.
• The quality of the medical equipment and technologies through which the veneers will be installed.
• The number of teeth the patient wants to install veneers on.
• The number of sessions the dentist will use to install the veneers.

After determining these criteria that affect the cost increase or decrease, we can present the average veneer prices in Egypt in 2023, where the price of fixed veneers starts from 5000 Egyptian pounds for a single tooth, and in case of 3N veneers without grinding, it starts from 9000 Egyptian pounds for a single tooth. The price of removable veneers starts from 2500 Egyptian pounds.

How to Care for Teeth After Installing Veneers

There are several things that must be followed to maintain veneers for a long time, including:

• Scheduling suitable times for teeth cleaning, preferably after every meal and before bedtime.
• Using a good toothbrush with soft bristles and brushing gently to avoid cracking the veneers.
• Using a toothpaste containing fluoride, which protects teeth from cavities, or a desensitizing agent.
• Using a daily antibacterial mouthwash at least twice a day or before bedtime.
• Using dental floss to remove food debris between the teeth, which can cause the spread of bacteria.
• Abstaining from tobacco and smoking.
• Avoiding hard foods that may cause the veneers to break, such as nuts.
• Avoiding carbonated and acidic beverages that may cause the veneers to crack.
• Not overeating staining foods such as berries and cherries.
