- Veneers: Traditional veneers are thin porcelain or ceramic coatings applied to the visible surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
- Ultrathin Veneers: Thinner than traditional veneers, they require minimal tooth preparation and are ideal for slight aesthetic corrections. Lumineers and composite veneers are included in this category.
- Zirconia Crowns: Offering superior strength and durability, zirconia crowns are particularly suited for restoring heavily damaged teeth while providing a natural look.
- Emax Veneers: Made from lithium disilicate, Emax veneers are known for their exceptional aesthetics and translucency, closely mimicking the natural appearance of teeth.
Choosing Colors
The Vita Shade Guide
When selecting the color for your new smile, it is crucial to consider several key elements. The choice of shade for the veneers is, of course, the primary criterion. However, the natural color of your teeth also plays an essential role, influencing the reflections and the final appearance of your smile. The prosthesis technician can incorporate different shades to create a tooth that blends seamlessly with the natural teeth, thus creating the most authentic look.
The dentist using the shade guide to choose the veneer shade
For a natural and white result, choosing the right color of the veneers is crucial. Specialists use the shade guide to select the color that best matches the rest of the teeth and the patient's skin tone. It is possible to opt for very white shades while maintaining a natural appearance, by choosing, for example, veneers with translucent nuances or slightly tinted to mimic the color variations present in natural teeth.

How to Choose the Color of Your Veneers?
The range of colors available is vast, with a shade guide offering up to 18 different shades. The whitest options are referred to as "Bleach" (BL), divided into four shades ranging from BL 1 to BL 4. To achieve an appearance that is closest to natural, whether in photographs or in everyday life, the shade BL 3 is often recommended. This shade is considered the most natural for a multitude of situations, thus allowing for a dazzling smile while maintaining an authentic and appealing appearance.
Tooth Preparation
The importance of preparation greatly depends on the patient's initial condition
The preparation of teeth for the placement of dental veneers raises many questions and concerns, especially due to testimonials found on the internet mentioning "shark teeth". These descriptions can seem alarming, but let's first understand what this actually involves and what are the risks and possibilities, including the concept of reversible veneers.
The preparation of teeth for veneers varies depending on the type of veneer chosen and the initial state of the patient's teeth. This step is crucial and requires careful evaluation by a qualified dentist.
- Traditional Veneers: Often require preparation that involves grinding a small part of the dental enamel. This creates space for the veneer and ensures optimal adhesion and a natural appearance. The term "shark teeth" generally refers to the temporary appearance of the teeth after this preparation, where they may appear more pointed and smaller, similar to a shark's teeth. However, it is important to specify that the preparation of each tooth varies according to the extent of the correction needed. A veneer can correct several elements: height, thickness, shape, and color. A good dentist will always preserve each tooth as much as possible. This is one of the differences you will have as a patient in terms of price. The materials being often similar, the attention and time given to each tooth is justified by a slightly higher price.
- Ultrathin Veneers: These ultra-thin veneers require minimal or no preparation, making them less invasive. They are a preferred option for those concerned about altering their natural teeth. However, the extent of correction provided by ultrathin veneers is less significant, and composite ultrathin veneers have a much shorter lifespan. It will be necessary to renew a composite treatment much sooner than Emax or zirconia veneers
Risks and Considerations
Any dental procedure carries risks, but those associated with the placement of veneers are generally low. The main risk concerns the loss of dental enamel, which is irreversible. Once the enamel is removed, it cannot be replaced, making the procedure somewhat definitive. That's why it is essential to discuss in detail with your dentist the expectations and possible outcomes.
Reversible Veneers
The idea of reversible veneers is appealing as it suggests the possibility of returning to the teeth's initial state. Although ultrathin veneers offer a less invasive approach, once the dental enamel is altered, the procedure cannot be considered totally reversible. However, advances in aesthetic dentistry continue to provide new solutions that minimize the impact on the natural dental structure.
Diastemas and Veneers
Dental diastema can be corrected with veneers or crowns
Diastemas, those visible gaps between teeth, are a cosmetic concern for many individuals. Fortunately, they can be effectively corrected or improved through the application of dental veneers. Depending on the patient's wishes, diastemas can be completely eliminated or simply reduced to enhance the harmony of the smile. This allows for tailor-made results, adapted to individual aesthetic goals.
However, it is important to note that the jaw structure and dental positions may continue to evolve over time. In some cases, this means that the teeth could spread further apart, leading to the return of diastemas despite the initial placement of veneers. This underscores the importance of regular evaluation and follow-up by a dental professional to ensure that the smile remains as desired over the long term.
In general, veneers can be a solution for a variety of orthodontic problems, especially since they offer the possibility to alter the appearance of the occlusion without resorting to traditional orthodontic treatment. They therefore represent an attractive alternative for those looking to significantly improve their smile while taking into account potential changes in their dentition.
The Cost of a Hollywood Smile Abroad
The cost of a Hollywood Smile abroad varies greatly depending on the material used and the number of veneers needed to create the new smile. Generally, the first level of transformation for a Hollywood Smile involves using at least 8 veneers to cover the upper teeth, thus offering a visible improvement in smile aesthetics.
Dental veneers and crowns abroad offer excellent value for money.
Treatment options then extend from 16 to 20 veneers, depending on the width of the patient's smile and the desire to achieve a perfectly harmonious result. The most frequently chosen material for these veneers is Emax, known for its durability and natural appearance. The cost of an Emax veneer generally ranges from 200 to 280 euros per veneer, excluding special promotions.
It's important to note that these rates can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the country where the treatment is performed, and the qualifications of the dentist or dental clinic. Special promotions can also offer opportunities to make significant savings on the total cost of the treatment.
