Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain dental veneers smile design is an aesthetic solution for those who want to improve the appearance of their smile. These are very thin sheets of porcelain, similar to lenses, that are tailored to fit the tooth and are placed on the front of the teeth to change their form, size, or color, resulting in a better smile.

Porcelain (Lithium or Zirconium disilicate) used in dental veneers is a very resistant and durable substance that, surprisingly, mimics the appearance and translucency of genuine tooth enamel. This implies that porcelain veneers will blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth, producing an amazing result.

Emax (Ivoclar), Initial (GC), Creation, and other lithium disilicate brands are often used to create porcelain veneers or veneers.

Zirconia brands most commonly used for porcelain veneers are Zircad, Noritake, Lava Plus, Upcera, Bruxzir, and others.

A consultation with Unilaser is required before putting on porcelain dental veneers. As a result, our team will share all relevant information based on your requirements, making the procedure fully tailored.

Bonding Veneers

Composite dental veneers are a great way to achieve a natural smile design. When patients wish to correct dental defects, these are also among the most popular options in cosmetic dentistry.

They function by using sheets that are molded to the front of the teeth, just like porcelain veneers. However, the material in which they are made is what changes, in this case a versatile and durable resin is used for a natural smile design.

In accordance with the dental arch and the preferences of each individual requiring dental veneers, the resin is sculpted and adapted, modifying its shape, color, and size as well as attaining dental alignment. For this reason, it is an entirely customized procedure that ensures the patient will receive the best possible outcomes.

Frequently asked questions about smile design

Dental veneers are thin sheets that are applied to your teeth to make them seem better. Once placed, they can fix flaws such as stains and fractures, as well as change the size, color, and shape of the teeth to achieve a beautiful smile.
The number of veneers required in a smile design varies per case. Some people may just need a few veneers to fix particular teeth that are visible when they smile, but others may require veneers on all of their teeth to achieve an even grin.

We suggest that you constantly seek harmony and symmetry in your grin. The ideal is to place 20 veneers (10 on the top and 10 on the bottom), but you can also place as many veneers as you have visible teeth when you smile.

If you have less than 20 teeth, you should choose a tint that blends in with the rest of your teeth.

Furthermore, if you have natural teeth and one or more porcelain crowns, combining the materials with resin veneers is not recommended unless the crown is not visible when you smile. Remember that different materials might change color or age differently over time, resulting in varying tones in the same arch and, as a result, an artificial smile.
The time required to complete a grin design can vary depending on a variety of factors. For example, depending on each patient’s situation, the material used, and the complexity of the treatment when paired with crowns on teeth and implants.

In general, it takes one appointment if done with resin or composite, two appointments if done with porcelain or ceramic veneers or veneers, and numerous visits if done with oral rehabilitation.

When we do dental implants and build a smile with dental crowns on teeth and implants, or when we do plastic surgery on the gums (Gingivoplasty) and certain porcelain veneers (veneers) are also implanted, the treatment may take a few months longer. This may necessitate two or more visits while the tissues repair.
We know that one of the main doubts our patients have is the price of smile design, however, the cost depends on the number of teeth or veneers we make in the treatment and the material chosen.
So how do you know the price of a smile design? At Unilaser we are here to help you. Schedule an in-person appointment with one of our specialists to obtain a personalized quote appropriate to your needs. We can also do it virtually by sending us photos, x-rays, and videos of your smile, teeth, and bite.
Whether a smile design is necessary is determined during the clinical assessment or virtual consultation.

It is important to have good oral health, healthy gums and take into account any pre-existing dental problems that may require treatment before the smile design.

Bonding Veneers

Resin veneers (bonded veneers) are applied in one or two sessions.

  • Low price. They are very affordable; they are less invasive because they are usually implanted without altering or wearing down the tooth.
  • It is a treatment that can be reversed.
  • It is easily repairable.
  • They have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years.
  • It is a treatment that can be reversed.
  • They require annual maintenance and shine, and they are more quickly pigmented (with tobacco, dark drinks, coffee, green tea, and so on); but, with correct maintenance, they restore their shine and color.

Lumineers

Porcelain Veneers (ceramic lenses) are applied in a minimum of two sessions scheduled 5 business days apart.

Contrary to popular belief, they can be found in a variety of more natural hues as well as Hollywood white. Its many opacities enable you to conceal dark hues or stains such as tetracycline, fluorosis, and hypocalcifications in white and dazzling teeth.

  • They mix beauty with durability.
  • They are quite thin.
  • They have optical qualities that are remarkably comparable to genuine teeth.
  • They require little upkeep (a professional dental cleaning is required once a year, much like natural teeth).
  • They are not stained.
  • They can endure up to 20 years if properly cared for.
The lifespan of a smile design, like any other aesthetic dentistry procedure, will be determined by the patient’s habits and care. It can last for many years if proper care is done, thus it is critical to maintain good oral hygiene, prevent dangerous behaviors, and schedule frequent check-ups with your Unilaser specialist.

Depending on the level of care: Resin or composite veneers (bonded veneers) have a lifespan of 6 to 8 years. Porcelain or ceramic veneers (veneers or lumineers) have a life span of 10 to 20 years.
In general, it is not required to wear down the teeth in a smile design. However, in some circumstances where the teeth are misaligned, little dental wear may be required to ensure dental alignment; these carvings are always done in a conservative and controlled manner.

We do not use dental wear to place porcelain veneers, but rather a micro-preparation with a microscope between the gum and the tooth to ensure proper adaptation of the veneer and avoid over-contouring.
Oral hygiene should be maintained by brushing twice a day and flossing.

With a smile design, you can eat and drink whatever you want; nevertheless, you must be cautious because veneers, like genuine teeth, can fracture. When eating really hard stuff, use cutlery if possible, and avoid tearing food or objects with the mouth.

Finally, regular dental check-ups are required, as is cleaning and maintaining your veneers to ensure the health and longevity of your natural smile design.
Smile design includes aesthetic procedures such as teeth whitening, invisible orthodontics (Invisalign), orthodontics with braces, zirconia crowns and bridges, oral rehabilitation on teeth, and dental implants. They are complementary treatments carried out according to the specific needs of each patient.
