Is it possible to put a vinir on an implant?

Krympress reports:

Patients often confuse different methods of dental restoration. One of the common questions: is it possible to fix the veneer onto the implant. To understand, you need to understand how both designs are arranged and why they are intended.

What are veneers and where they are used

Vinir is a thin plate, most often from ceramic or composite, which the dentist fixes on the front surface of the tooth. The goal is to improve aesthetics: to hide chips, darkening of enamel, small bumps. This requires your own tooth and an enamel layer on which the vene is glued. For example, when choosing aesthetic correction, many consider Composite veneers with installation on the toothbecause it is faster and more accessible than ceramics. But the key point is that the vinir cannot be fixed from scratch, it always holds on the tooth.

What is an implant and how it is different

The implant is an artificial titanium root that is installed in the jaw bone. After engaging in it, an abutment is recorded, and a crown on top is fixed. The crown performs the function of a completely lost tooth, and not only improves the appearance. This is the principle dental implantation of teeth In Minsk: replacing an absent tooth with a full -fledged artificial structure.

The main differences between the implant from the tooth:

• There is no coronal part of the tooth, so it is impossible to glue the vinir to it;

• The chewing load is calculated on the implant, and the design should be strong;

• Aesthetics is achieved due to the material of the crown, not a thin lining.

Is it possible to put a vinir on an implant

A short and honest answer — no. The veneer lasts only on the front surface of the tooth, and the implant simply does not. If the tooth is lost, and the implant is put in its place, then the crown will be the only right solution.

What are alternatives

If the patient wants the implant to look as naturally and harmoniously combined with neighboring teeth, a crown of materials close in color and transparency to enamel is used. The most popular:

• all -ceramic crowns;

• Crowns from zirconium dioxide.

They are selected in shade to neighboring teeth, which allows you to achieve the same aesthetics that veneers usually provide.

Orders are suitable only for those cases when their own tooth is preserved. If the tooth is lost, an implant is set in its place, and a crown on top. Thus, it is the crown, not the vinir, solves the aesthetic problem in the implantation zone.
