The installation of veneers

The installation of veneers and lumineers is a popular dental procedure aimed at improving the appearance of teeth. Veneers are thin plates made of ceramic or composite materials that are attached to the front of a tooth to correct its shape, color, or size. Lumineers are a variation of veneers, thinner and requiring minimal or no intervention in the tooth’s structure.

The main difference between them lies in thickness and installation method. Veneers usually require the removal of a small layer of enamel from the tooth for better adhesion and a natural look. Meanwhile, lumineers, being thinner, can often be installed without tooth grinding, making the procedure more modern and popular.

Both procedures help conceal defects such as stains, cracks, chips, or irregularities on teeth and can serve as an alternative to more complex orthodontic treatments. Veneers and lumineers also contribute to achieving a whiter and more uniform smile.

The choice between veneers and lumineers depends on several factors, including the patient’s dental condition, desired results, and dentist’s recommendations. Both procedures require a highly qualified doctor and precise work in the laboratory to create perfectly fitting and aesthetically appealing plates.

It’s great that in South Korea, you can get a new smile in just a few hours. Moreover, in case of any problems or the need to replace one of the lumineers, we can send it to you in any country using express mail.

Why patients consider veneer installation?

Patients may consider veneer or lumineer installation for several reasons:

Aesthetic Considerations: Veneers and lumineers allow for improving the appearance of the smile by concealing various dental defects, such as stains, irregularities, minor chips, or cracks. This is especially relevant for those who aspire to a perfect smile.

Correction of Tooth Shape and Size: In cases where teeth have an improper shape or size, or if there are small gaps between teeth, veneers and lumineers can be an effective solution for creating a more harmonious and balanced dental appearance.

Resistance to Staining: Compared to natural tooth enamel, the materials used to make veneers and lumineers are less prone to discoloration from coffee, tea, red wine, and other pigmented products and beverages.

Minimal Invasiveness: In the case of lumineers, their installation often requires minimal intervention in the tooth’s structure, making the procedure more appealing to those who are concerned about more invasive dental procedures.

Durability and Strength: Despite their thinness, veneers and lumineers demonstrate high durability and longevity, making them a long-term solution for smile enhancement.
