The number of veneers placed each year at the Rhône Dental Clinic

présentation des facettes dentaires

A dental veneer is a thin prosthetic device bonded to the enamel to modify the shade, structure, position and shape of the original tooth.

Our goal is the maximum preservation of the original living tissues. .

Facettes réalisées au sein de notre laboratoire DENTAIRE

Complementarity of the doctor and the prosthetist is the key to the quality of a dental veneer installation, which is why we craft our dental veneers within our in-house laboratory.

The real key to the quality of a dental veneer lies in its natural transparency and the study of all functions that will define the longevity of the veneers.

The installation of dental veneers is entirely related to the know-how and the experience of the dentist who will limit the polishing of the living teeth as much as that of our Master Ceramist, able to create extremely thin surfaces (0.4 mm) with all the subtlety of the translucency gradients of natural glow. This complementarity, true teamwork, guarantees the patient the success of an effective treatment plan.

I was treated two months ago at the clinic because I wanted to harmonize my smile (I had already used an orthodontic appliance without success). I wanted to say that I was very well attended, all the professionals are very efficient and explained everything to me. I had no pain, the treatment was fast and I found everything very clean! Super recommend for those who need a specialist to realize their dream. Thank you all!

I suffered a lot of teeth and was afraid to have major interventions with a dentist. I was impressed by [...] the aesthetics: I was asked to make ceramic prostheses made to measure and on site. They are so perfect that now I also want to have facets on the front teeth. I am really delighted with this firm that really gives very high-end benefits.

Irreproachable quality of service, painless manipulations of the dentist, a great collaboration with the dental prosthesis laboratory within the clinic. A big thank you to Dr. GACHET and all his team.

Le protocole DE POSE DE FACETTES DENTAIRES

The classification of indication types is related to their aetiology (study of the causes and factors of a disease).

The most used is that of the Magne brothers and Urs Belser which defines the following four major types of treatments:

The classification of indication types is related to their etiology (study of causes and factors of a disease). The most used is that of the Magne brothers and Urs Belser who defines the 4 main types of treatments:

type i: color correction

Types I A: Coloration dues to tetracyclines of degree 3 and 4: this coloration, which is in the form of diffuse bands of variable width, may be related to antibiotic use during pregnancy, mineralization of temporary incisors or it occurs in children up to 8 years of age (mineralization of the crown of the 2nd definitive molar).

Type I B: Teeth refractory to external whitening. When less invasive treatments (based on micro-abrasion or lightening) do not lead to a satisfactory result, dental veneers are then indicated. Type 3 Fluorosis (with porosity) like tetracycline, a fluorine overdose between the 4th month of pregnancy and in children up to 8 years old, causes an alteration of the metabolism of ameloblasts (cells used in the production of enamel) which can cause the appearance of veils and whitish spots as well as brown coloration.

Type II Teeth refractory to external whitening

Type II A : Conoid teeth
Conoid (or rice-grain-like) teeth are abnormalities of genetic form that most often affect the upper lateral incisors.

Type II A : Closing of interdental spaces
Type II A : Closing of inter dental spaces. The indication where dental veneers may be recommended to close central diastema and black gingival triangles. Composite direct restorations are then considered at first place. However, it is more difficult to control the shape, emergence profile and cervical adaptation as much as in direct or indirect method.

Type II C: Elongation of short free edges
Composite direct restorations, extended over the entire incisal edge, can quickly show signs of mechanical fatigue and even complications ranging from flaking off to fracture.
The permanent rehabilitation of a wear, taking into consideration a consequent change in the height and shape of the tooth, represents a real technical challenge with the direct method.
The application of facets makes it possible to obtain a more satisfactory result with fewer risks. In this indication, the prior analysis of the occlusal function is essential.
It is necessary to identify the clinical contexts where the chemical aspect by exogenous acidity (diet) or endogenous (gastroesophageal reflux, anorexia, bulimia) is responsible for the loss of dental tissue. In these specific cases, the conservative approach – of which veneering is a part – is to be preferred. But the solutions must be determined within the framework of a overall medical care. Consideration must be given to all aspects, not just the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.

Type III : Structural abnormalities

In these cases, the conservative approach, of which the dental veneer, is a solution to be preferred but which must be part of overall medical care.

Furthermore, consideration must be given to all aspects and not just the aesthetic appearance.
When these traumas affect the young patient, a reasonable attitude is to achieve in a first approach a direct composite restoration that will be resumed at the end of adolescence if the aesthetic aspect is requested.

Type III A :Extended coronary fractures. A veneer is crafted as an alternative to root treatment, followed by the placement of a prosthetic crown. When these traumas affect a young patient, a reasonable attitude consists of initial direct composite restoration that will be resumed at the end of adolescence, if aesthetically required.

Type III B : Loss of enamel extended by erosion and/or wear

The smile makeover in these clinical situations is complex. An alternative to peripheral crowns is to use the available enamel to make dental veneers.
Finally, these wearings are often associated with bad habits that must be identified and treated. This is frequently the case with abrasions associated with traumatic brushing or acidic erosion associated with a diet with too much foods and / or acidic beverages.

Fluorosis type 3 (with porosity)

Like tetracyclines, a fluorine overdose between the 4th month of pregnancy and in children up to 8 years old causes an alteration of the metabolism of ameloblasts (enamel cells) that can cause appearance of whitish veils and spots, as well as brown colorations.

Type III C: Congenital and acquired malformations of enamel

Imperfect amelogenesis is a group of enamel abnormalities development which are linked to a mutation in the gene coding for amelic proteins or for proteases.
Aesthetic care of permanent teeth in young children must be done with a temporary solution to allow enough time for the facial growth to position all the aesthetic determinants of the face.
During this transitional period, composite resin veneers can be a very interesting therapeutic option because they are not invasive. The bonding being modified within this protocol, the composition of this pathological enamel is different. It must be considered that the risk of detachment is increased in these patients, and hence they must be informed so that they can follow the obvious precautionary measures.

Type III D: Porosity of enamel, spots on teeth, several colors on the same tooth.

HMI (hypomineralisation) is a qualitative enamel abnormality of systemic origin, which mainly affects molars and permanent incisors.
The number of cases is increasing and could be caused by various environmental factors disrupting enamel formation during the first three years of life. At the level of the permanent incisors, they appear in the form of whitish or yellow spots with varying aesthetic consequences, depending on their size and location. Only the most severe forms can be subject to dental veneer treatment.

Type IV: Perfect alignment, saving time on orthodontics…

The treatment of dental dispositions by veneers is certainly the most difficult and controversial indication! In particular, it requires exhaustive information on possible orthodontic alternatives.
The consultation by one of our qualified specialists in dentofacial orthopaedics (ODF) must be systematic in order to respect the duty of legal information of the patient. However, in case of refusal of the orthodontic treatment by the patient and/or in the presence of other coexisting abnormalities (structure, shape, color), it is possible to propose an alternative correction of slight dispositions with dental veneers. This treatment is more invasive, however, it has the advantage of correcting minor misalignment faster than an orthodontic treatment. In just two weeks, your smile can be perfectly aligned, the shape and color will be those of your youth, called dental makeover.

Veneering is a fast and efficient alternative for those who want to find a solid color, more radiance and a harmonious appearance in just 2 appointments. In short, an orthodontic program corrects smiles within 6 to 9 months, producing perfectly aligned and healthy teeth. With a problem of color and volume of teeth, dental veneers offer an immediate aesthetic result.

Medical contraindications to treatment with dental veneers

Dental maloclussion

A situation in which dental malocclusion is associated with high occlusive pressure advice against dental veneer treatment.
Without being a formal contraindication, the same applies to an incisal or inverted end-to-end edge that is likely to generate adverse occlusive forces.

BRUXISM

Bruxism is a para-functional situation in which progressive wear of posterior and anterior teeth requires therapeutic care. This must be global because only the restoration of a correct posterior wedging allows to consider the former aesthetic restoration. Patient is exposed to a risk of separation or fracture (rate of failure is seven times higher).
When occlusive stresses are considered reasonable or controlled, it is however imperative to back-up the overall rehabilitation with a night protection gutter.
