7 things you didn't know about dental veneers and aesthetic crowns
We all strive to have the most perfect smile, so how do we do it using the most advanced methods? Good question!
We live in a changing world that strives for excellent and uncompromising aesthetic external visibility, what’s more, it constantly asks us to take care of visibility. We have a desire to have a “Hollywood” smile and this causes a very rapid development in the high technologies in dentistry in recent years.
In the production of aesthetic coatings and crowns, modern materials are used that meet the biocompatibility requirement in contemporary dentistry.
You must be asking yourself, what is biocompatibility?
This is a unique method developed to adapt the dental materials to the patient. These materials are particularly strong, non-allergenic and do not change the color of the gums since they do not contain different metals.
So when are dental veneers and aesthetic crowns used and how are they done? That’s exactly what we’re here for.

Why is it very important to perform a professional clinical examination and build a personal treatment plan?
Patients who come to a dentist specializing in dental aesthetics complain about several things: the color of the teeth, the size and shape of the teeth, spaces between the teeth, various defects in old fillings and restorations, a change in the color of the gums around the old crowns, and more. Sometimes, during the examination, additional problems are discovered, such as signs of tooth wear and as a result, additional problems are caused in the mouth, sometimes occlusal problems are discovered and this may cause pain in the jaw joints or headaches and itching.
Therefore, a clinical examination supported by dental photographs must be performed! A clinical examination in the oral cavity allows you to see the full picture, to prepare the basis before the aesthetic treatment.
When is it recommended to perform dental coatings and aesthetic crowns?
Dental veneers are performed when you suffer from cracks or fractures in your teeth, unnecessary spaces that bother you, worn or crooked teeth, teeth of different sizes or a poor aesthetic appearance.
It should be taken into account that sometimes coatings do not provide an ultimate solution to an aesthetic problem and it is preferable to make crowns because it is the most correct thing for your mouth. An expert doctor could tell you why – and these are in cases where there is serious damage to the tooth material and there is a priority to protect the tooth by putting crowns.
What is important to know about dental veneers?
Currently, treatment with dental veneers is one of the most common treatments in the world of dental aesthetics. These coatings “stick” to the surface of the teeth and thus easily, quickly and effectively improve your smile – which is exactly what you want. What’s more, for this to happen, minimal preparation of the tooth is required. If it is about special and extremely thin dental coatings, you can forego sharpening the teeth. Remember that to ensure your perfect smile, you must choose a dentist with experience in the field of aesthetics and coatings, one whose name goes before him.
Different types of coatings Teeth and crowns aesthetic
Great, you decided to go for it! You are dying to know which crowns will be best for you right? There are several types of coatings, the choice is in your hands and in the hands of the doctor. Together you can choose the best and right coating for you, one that will give you the most natural look, will be long-lasting and more… Let’s get to know them: Dental coating of the PLV type – Porcelain Laminate Veneer, is a coating made of porcelain. The thickness of this coating is usually in the range of 0.5-0.3 mm.
Dental coating of the Lumineers type is the thinnest porcelain coating, about 0.3 mm. Sometimes, when using this type of coating, it is not necessary to sharpen the teeth completely and thus the health of the tooth can be optimally maintained.
Composite dental veneers, which are made of synthetic materials and are usually a little thicker than porcelain veneers.
Another and no less important point – porcelain coating is preserved well and for a much longer period of time compared to composite coating. The porcelain is made of a strong material that does not change its color, and the porcelain coating has a much more natural appearance than the composite.
When we talk about aesthetic crowns without metals, it must be understood that several types of crowns are used, such as those made of zirconia with porcelain built on them, porcelain crowns based on Emax material, crowns based on hybrid porcelain (a combination of porcelain and composite material particles) and the like.

Can anyone undergo dental veneers?
There is no doubt that today dental veneers are a much more extensive and desirable field than before and among the common treatments in Israel, thanks to its continuous development, and the variety of possibilities it offers us. It may surprise you, but not everyone can undergo such treatment. Each patient has different characteristics, such as the type of closure in the oral cavity, the condition of the teeth or gums, and in order to know whether the patient is suitable for treatment, you must first consult the dentist so that he can check your condition and give you personalized recommendations.
What is dental laser technology and why is it important to use it?
One of the things that is important to verify before treatment with dental veneers is the condition of the patient’s gums. Otherwise, it won’t work properly. Therefore, it is important to know if the clinic you choose uses the technology called “dental laser”, in order to guarantee you a quality treatment experience and winning results. The dental laser makes it possible to disinfect the surface of the teeth before gluing the coatings. In addition, the dental laser produces a contour of the gums and thus a healthy, beautiful and much more natural appearance can be achieved. There is no reason to compromise! Remember to check this before you choose a clinic.
SMILE DESIGN simulation
Dental veneers and aesthetic crowns are made possible thanks to the most advanced digital technology, in which the dentist creates a computerized image that is presented to the patient. With the help of the imaging, the patient and the doctor can reach conclusions, think about ideal courses of action, see the whole picture in full and of course coordinate expectations regarding the final result. There are cases where there is an option to perform the coatings and crowns in a dental clinic immediately with the help of a device called a digital scanner. This reduces the number of patient visits and allows the work to be done immediately in one treatment.
Let's talk - how much does it cost?
Treatment with dental veneers and aesthetic crowns combines several stages, including the work of the dentist and the dental technician. Since this is a complex job involving quite a few professional parties, it is also important to understand the economic costs associated with this matter. The price of dental coatings and aesthetic crowns is affected by the coating material you choose, the preparation times, the complexity of the treatment, and more. In general, it can be said that the average price range in the market for porcelain dental coatings and aesthetic crowns is between NIS 3,000-6,500 for one coating or a single crown, while the average price for composite dental coatings is between NIS 800-1,500 per tooth.
