Porcelain and composite veneers (bonding)

Porcelain veneers have not only celebrities. Anyone who visits our Stomo Clinic facility in Wroclaw can benefit from them.u003cbru003eThis way of quick smile makeover is really popular around us. We want to enjoy an attractive smile without much interference with our own teeth. We also look for durable solutions, and well-designed and cared for veneers will last up to 15 years. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eIf you are looking for a place in Wroclaw, where u003cstrongu003eporcelain veneersu003c/strongu003e and composite u003cstrongu003eveneersu003c/strongu003e (known as u003cstrongu003ebondingu003c/strongu003e) of the highest quality are created, visit Stomo Clinic. Also, because we work with a team of dentists of all disciplines and before we take care of cosmetic dentistry, we will thoroughly check and take care of your dental health. We offer orthodontic, surgical, implant consultations and treatments, among others. We take care of the health of your gums and treat your teeth with root canal treatment. As a result, veneers, placed on healthy teeth and a healthy bite, will serve you for many years.

First visit – consultation, diagnosis and impressions. u003cbru003eThe design of veneers, like everything in dentistry, begins with diagnosis. So, to begin with, we check the oral health, confirm the absence of cavities or, if necessary, recommend caries treatment at our clinic. At the same visit, we analyze the patient’s bite. This is important because habitual rasping, which often results from a malocclusion, is a contraindication to the placement of veneers. We can apply veneers after orthodontic treatment, and we often place so-called u003cstrongu003ebondingu003c/strongu003e on the day of braces installation to rebuild the correct shapes (height and width) of the teeth.u003cbru003eAfter a review and X-ray diagnosis, we then analyze the smile to propose the most aesthetic solution for the patient. We discuss expectations and possibilities. We propose several solutions, if an alternative is possible.u003cbru003eWe then take impressions to design a wax-up visualization, known as a wax-up, on a cast plaster model. It serves as a model for making a prototype, thanks to which u003cstrongu003eveneersu003c/strongu003e for u003cstrongu003eteethu003c/strongu003e are created for patients of our facility in Wroclaw. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eThe second visit – a fitting of the prototype veneers.u003cbru003eAt the second visit, the dentist, on the basis of a wax-up design, makes a so-called mock-up, or prototype of veneers, in the office, without yet interfering with the enamel. The composite prototype is tried on and cured directly in the dental chair. This is an excellent solution to see how the patient will look in the designed veneers even before the enamel is prepared. This is because by seeing the veneers, the dentist can make any adjustments to their shape. Since the prototype of the veneers is a type of composite casting, it is not highly aesthetic work. However, if the patient is not sure about the prosthetic solution, he or she can leave the Stomo Clinic in Wroclaw in a mock-up and think about the subject.u003cbru003eWhen the mock-up is accepted at the same visit, the dentist proceeds to prepare the enamel. It is not that 0.5 mm of enamel is removed automatically. Everything here depends on the shape of the teeth. When, for example, the teeth after facing are to be larger, more convex or leaning, it may be sufficient to etch the enamel without grinding. The preparation can also be very shallow and local in the order of 0.2 mm. If, on the other hand, we want to move a tooth back (one single tooth is protruding and the other is hidden), we will have to prepare it more, for example, to a thickness of 1 mm.u003cbru003eWhen the teeth are prepared for veneers, the doctor takes an impression for the ceramic laboratory, which makes the final porcelain veneers. To protect the patient’s teeth after enamel preparation and to take care of the aesthetics of the smile, we make temporary composite veneers. Thus, by the time the veneers are installed, the teeth look good and the patient does not have to limit his normal activities. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eThird visit – installation of veneers.u003cbru003eThis is the moment when we cement the porcelain veneers, and the patient is delighted with his new smile. We precisely bond the ceramic flakes to the surface of the teeth using different types of cements. We also take digital photos to document the metamorphosis. u003cbru003eTooth veneers from the Stomo Clinic facility in Wroclaw allow for a complete metamorphosis of our smile.

With the help of veneers, we are able to create the so-called Hollywood smile, where teeth have perfect shapes and snow-white color in the smile zone. u003cbru003e- Veneers change the shape of teeth, can lengthen and widen them.u003cbru003e- With veneers, we can eliminate gaps between teeth, including masking the diastema between the ones.u003cbru003e- Veneers are able to cover chipped, uneven and cracked enamel (as long as the cracks are superficial and do not threaten the vitality of the tooth).u003cbru003e- They will cover whitening-resistant tooth discoloration associated with fluorosis and antibiotic treatment (for the darkest drug stains, porcelain crowns will be aesthetically better). u003cbru003e- Veneers will cover any carious cavity fillings visible in the smile.u003cbru003e- With the help of veneers, we can rejuvenate the appearance of the entire face, as the bright teeth visible in the smile make a person appear younger.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWe invite you to convince yourself of the benefits of having veneers made at our Stomo Clinic facility in Wroclaw.

Composite u003cstrongu003eveneersu003c/strongu003e in Wroclaw, or u003cstrongu003ebondingu003c/strongu003e u003cbru003eComposite veneers, also called bonding or chips, are a thin layer of composite resin that the dentist applies to the surface of the tooth after etching the enamel. He then precisely molds its shape and exposes it to a UV lamp for hardness. The appearance of composite veneers depends primarily on the aesthetic competence of the dentist, his precision and attention to the result. u003cbru003eSpecialists at Stomo Clinic Wroclaw approach the design of composite veneers with the utmost care, so that they blend perfectly with the dentition.u003cbru003eA composite veneer is created in a single visit directly in the dental chair. The doctor molds it and cures it right away in the patient’s mouth. It does not require any permanent interference with the enamel, its surface is only etched to create good adhesion for the composite. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePorcelain u003cstrongu003eveneersu003c/strongu003eu003cbru003ePorcelain veneers, as the name suggests, are made of porcelain, a material that most closely mimics natural human teeth, with their depth, translucency and opalescence. Also, the hardness of ceramics is comparable to the hard tissues of human dentition. Stomo Clinic in Wroclaw allows its patients to take advantage of porcelain veneers u003cbru003eu003cstrongu003ePorcelain veneers are resistant to discolorationu003c/strongu003e and tarnishing, and are biologically inert. They are created in a ceramic workshop from multiple layers of ceramic, which reflect the individual characteristics of the dentition. Another method of creating them is pressing e.max veneers. Press from glass ceramic based on lithium disilicate.u003cbru003ePorcelain veneers are always created based on u003cstrongu003edigital photographs of theu003c/strongu003e patient’ u003cstrongu003es teethu003c/strongu003e and on impressions taken at the dental clinic. Several visits are needed to design them, due to the design – wax-up and prototyping – mock-up stages. They are applied to the teeth after prior preparation of a small amount of enamel (0.2-1 mm). Their durability is estimated at 8-15 years, depending on bite conditions and oral hygiene, among other factors. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cstrongu003eTemporary veneers – Wax Up u003c/strongu003e- made for the final work – both full-frame and composite veneers.

u003cstrongu003ePerforming veneers on teeth in Wroclawu003c/strongu003e is not always possible. This is because there are certain limitations, which we inform Stomo Clinic patients about: u003cbru003eu003cbru003eA contraindication to the placement of veneers is u003cstrongu003ecariesu003c/strongu003e – we place all prosthetic work u003cstrongu003eonly on teeth that have been healedu003c/strongu003e. Cavities should be filled in advance. If they are small and a sufficient amount of enamel on the facing side is preserved, veneers can be placed after treatment. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eBefore placing veneers, we check u003cstrongu003ethe health of the gumsu003c/strongu003e – if there is inflammation, sediment or over- and under-gum tartar, we first perform u003cstrongu003ehygienization proceduresu003c/strongu003e (scaling, sanding, enamel polishing). We treat the inflammation, and only after the inflammation is gone and good oral hygiene is confirmed do we proceed with veneers. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eAs a rule, u003cstrongu003ewe do not use veneers on teeth after root canal treatmentu003c/strongu003e, because such teeth darken, and a thin veneer will not cover their color. A better solution then is u003cstrongu003ea porcelain crownu003c/strongu003e, which further strengthens the tooth. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cstrongu003eVeneers are not recommended for patients with symptoms of bruxismu003c/strongu003e (grinding and clenching of teeth). These habits, often resulting from malocclusion, can lead to crumbling u003cstrongu003e, peeling and cracking of veneersu003c/strongu003e. In such patients, we perform u003cstrongu003ea bite analysisu003c/strongu003e and offer u003cstrongu003eorthodontic treatmentu003c/strongu003e. Already while wearing braces, we restore the correct heights of the front teeth with composite. This gives the patient an aesthetic smile right away, and at the end of the treatment the patient can wear u003cstrongu003eporcelain veneersu003c/strongu003e or stay with u003cstrongu003ecompositeu003c/strongu003e veneers.
