DENTAL CLINIC – DENTISTRY – ODONTOLIUZZI – LOSE THE FEAR OF THE DENTIST
The lenses are extra-thin laminates, ranging from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm in thickness. similar to the eye contact lens, thin and transparent; and which are cemented only on the front surface of the tooth being treated, which is why they are considered a minimally invasive procedure, as it is possible to perform this procedure with minimal or no wear and are mainly used to correct imperfections.
The dental veneers, are a way of restoring teeth with thicker porcelain veneers, between 0.7 and 1.5 millimeters thick but which are also fixed on the teeth and with the aim of modifying their size, shape or color.
At first, it may seem that lenses are more advantageous, but a big difference between them and dental veneers is the type of transformation in the smile that the patient seeks, in addition to the type and position of the teeth.
Both options are effective, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and its indications, in the same case we can have lenses and facets, since the difference between them is in the thickness of the ceramic .
Many artists and celebrities have been looking for dental contact lenses in Rio de Janeiro and around the world. The speed of the procedure and the immediate impeccable result are among the factors in this search for treatment.
When the technique is the dental veneer, it is necessary to grind the teeth regardless of the type of change desired. In the case of contact lenses, this is not a rule.
This wear can be done on all teeth in the upper or lower arcade, or just on some specific teeth that are out of position or too inclined.
But contrary to what many people think, wearing or not wearing is not a choice of the professional or the patient, but determined by the position of the patient's tooth added to what he wants as a final result.
So that you understand better, imagine a patient who is dissatisfied with his teeth because they are small, what do we have to do? increase, correct? Then we will add material, so we don't need to perform dental wear, as these are already small.
Now, let's imagine that this same patient is dissatisfied with his short teeth and two teeth that are crooked. In this case, to finish the case with an aesthetic alignment, we will have to add the short teeth without wear, which would be the lenses, and correct the crooked tooth with wear and then insert the veneers in the correct alignment.
Another option would be to use orthodontic aligners such as Invisalign, correct the crooked tooth and finish the case with wear-free lenses. Undoubtedly, the best choice is made after a good analysis of the case, but it is very important that you understand these details.
1. Diastema – Small spaces between teeth, which cause great dissatisfaction for the patient as they give the impression of a “childish smile”, after all, only children have spaces between their teeth.
2. Conoid teeth – these are teeth that grow with a smaller and more conical shape, normally in the aesthetic region.
3. Dental fractures – where there is loss of large amounts of tooth structure
4. Teeth that have had root canal treatment and have darkened, usually in the aesthetic area.
5. Correction of gummy smile – situations where more gums appear than teeth when smiling, and the patient undergoes gum surgery for correction, and ends up exposing part of the tooth root, which due to its formation is darker and affects the aesthetics of the smile, we then use veneers to even out the color.
6. Teeth with tetracycline stains or white spots
7. Teeth that have cracks
8. Teeth worn down by bruxism.
Lenses and dental veneers represent a great evolution in dentistry. There are several types of ceramics to manufacture them, each with its respective characteristics.
Some are more resistant than the tooth itself and can last up to 20 years if well cared for, studies say. But for them to last longer, you need to have good habits and care for both the professional who performs and the patient.
Dental contact lenses have high resistance to the impact of chewing, but they can suffer external actions that reduce their useful time. care for each patient.
1. Teeth that receive laminated porcelain veneers are more resistant to fractures and cracks. Cracks are uncomfortable situations, as they are visible in some types of environments, and can generate a lot of sensitivity or be a contraindication for teeth whitening, if the patient's ultimate goal is to correct the color.
2. Made from biomaterial, porcelain veneers are more resistant than natural tooth enamel!
3. The lens material is color stable, meaning it does not change color.
4. The material used in dental lenses and veneers could last forever if they were not affected by uncontrolled parafunctional habits such as nail biting, clenching teeth, biting pen caps, and opening or pulling things with teeth.
Some lenses fall out due to failure in the professional's adhesive cementation or due to habits exercised by patients. It is important for patients to follow their dentist's advice to avoid problems with their dental contact lenses and to see a dentist regularly to assess their oral health and detect any problems that need treatment.
The two main reasons for the lens to fall out on the part of the professional are linked to occlusion (bite) and adhesion (union of the tooth with the porcelain).
To avoid falls caused by failures in adhesion, we must perform dental preparations with criteria and correctly follow the cementation protocols, in addition to using materials with proven quality and efficient adhesive systems and cements.
Another extremely important factor is occlusion (bite). Mutually protected occlusion says, in a simplified way, that the bottom teeth protect the front teeth and vice versa.
That is, there is no point in doing a beautiful job on your front teeth if you are missing teeth in the back or if your bite is completely disorganized. Esthetic work will not last if occlusion concepts are not followed exactly
The patient, on the other hand, must take precautions when chewing, put aside habits such as tearing packaging and biting nails, clenching teeth, biting pen caps, among others, in addition to periodic visits to the dentist and correct oral hygiene.
An international reference in the application of Contact Lenses and Porcelain Dental Veneers, ODONTOLIUZZI receives patients from all continents seeking to improve their self-esteem with this treatment, solving problems such as stains, crooked teeth or teeth that are too far apart (diastema) that can make your smile unharmonious. With us, the actions to improve your smile are based on digital planning, where the specialist studies the parameters of size, type and shape of the face to adapt the best smile.

Treatment with lenses or dental veneers generally takes 3 consultations to complete: Prior work in the mouth, molding, and final cementation. It is possible to perform a preview with temporary material so that the patient can analyze the final result without any dental wear, this brings safety and predictability, in addition the treatment is completely reversible, that is, it can be removed and your teeth will be intact again. As for the durability of the treatment, we can say that, if well followed by the professional and the patient, there will never be a need for replacement.
Patients' doubts revolve around which one to use. In fact, the two are the same thing, they just differ in thickness, where the porcelain veneer is thicker than the dental lens, a fact that does not interfere at all with resistance, as both after cementation quietly resist masticatory forces. What will define whether you use one or the other is the position or color of the tooth that has been greatly altered, defined by the dentist and discussed in advance with the patient.
“There are no obstacles when you feel like it.”
I have always had a hard time going to a dental clinic. For the first time, I can assure you, I sit in a “dentist’s” chair with complete confidence in the treatment (always painful for me!) that I am currently undergoing. It starts with the feeling of being welcomed by the professional – which makes all the difference when you meet them and know that you are – literally – in good hands! And this starts with the reception, whose attendant does justice to her role – that is, she is receptive at any time when I need her. Congratulations to the Clinic Odontoliuzzi and its professionals who carry out exceptional and admirable work of quality!
