Hollywood Veneers

It is known that harmony is the perfect combination of inner and outer beauty of a person. Taking care of one's own appearance plays a crucial role in our life, allowing us to look young and attractive. And, of course, the most important component of a successful image is a pleasant white smile.

Continuing to develop intensively, modern aesthetic dentistry offers the latest methods of restoration and restoration of teeth, among which can be identified in a separate category of vinification.

Veneers are nothing more than cosmetic overlays installed on the teeth. This method of restoration was deserved respect both among doctors and among their patients due to the high aesthetic effect of the results obtained, as well as the relative simplicity and complete painlessness of the procedure itself. Depending on certain clinical indications, cosmetic patches can be performed in various ways by using one of the materials available today.

Hollywood veneers , or as they are called lumineers, represent the most demanded and, therefore, the most expensive method of restoration of teeth. The difference of such cosmetic linings from conventional ones, made of composite and ceramic materials, is the absence of the need to grind the teeth before installation. Their thickness is not more than 0.3 mm, which allows to almost completely preserve the natural tooth enamel of the patient. In addition, this procedure is completely reversible, that is, the patient can at any time remove or replace the installed pads.

Historically, it was Hollywood veneers that first appeared. Famous actors and politicians of the late 20th century used this technique to make their appearance even more outstanding and presentable. Due to the use of a special ceramic compound and a unique technology for manufacturing lumineers, it is practically impossible to distinguish it from natural teeth. The material for their manufacture has a high light transmission capacity, which makes it transparent and shiny, like a healthy and strong tooth enamel.

Hollywood veneers, which are also called incomplete, have several advantages. Among them, we can note the shortest possible manufacturing and installation times, as well as an excellent aesthetic effect. With minimal processing of tooth enamel, the lumineer is fixed onto a cementitious compound saturated with fluorine and other substances useful for enamel. The surface of the back side of such a cosmetic insert is made porous, which ensures its reliable adhesion to the tooth surface.

The most important condition for the installation of Hollywood veneers is the presence of healthy teeth. Among the main indications for the use of this method of restoration, it should be noted:

• Diastema and trema;
• Cracked, damaged, weakened or excessively sensitive tooth enamel;
• The presence of fluorosis, tetracycline teeth, the consequences of improper bleaching, darkened with time seals, and also changed in color or damaged prostheses;
• Presence of uneven teeth;
• Various developmental defects.

Do not forget that Hollywood veneers are installed more for a cosmetic effect. That is why it is necessary to protect the restored teeth from heavy loads and damages, as well as from the effects of various substances (tobacco, food colors).
