Aesthetic dental restoration in Tashkent offers two options: veneers and lumineers. At Veda Stom, we'll help you choose the option that will conceal chips, gaps, and discoloration while maintaining a natural look.
Let's figure out the difference between these methods and which one is right for you.
What's the difference between veneers and lumineers: thickness, timeframe, price
Thickness:
- Veneers — 0.3–0.7 mm (minor enamel grinding required).
- Lumineers — 0.2–0.3 mm (minimal tooth preparation).
Production time:
- Veneers – 7–14 days.
- Lumineers are ready-made systems (installation in 1-2 visits).
Service life:
- Veneers – 10–15 years.
- Lumineers – 5–10 years.
Price:
Lumineers are generally more expensive due to the premium materials used.
Important! Both methods do not require nerve removal and are suitable for correcting the front teeth.
Indications: chips, cracks, yellowing
Veneers and lumineers solve the following problems:
Aesthetics:
- Cracks and chips in the enamel.
- Gaps between teeth (diastema).
- Pigmentation that cannot be removed by bleaching.
Functional:
- Minor crookedness of teeth.
- Getting back into shape after injuries.
Contraindications:
- Severe tooth decay.
- Bruxism (grinding).
- Absence of molars (increased load on the front teeth).
Ceramic veneers: durability and naturalness
Materials:
Ceramic or zirconium. Resistant to staining from coffee, tea, or wine.
Advantages:
- Maximum naturalness - they replicate the translucency of natural enamel.
- Durability – can withstand chewing loads.
- Hypoallergenic – suitable for sensitive gums.
The process at Veda Stom:
- Teeth preparation (minimal grinding).
- Taking impressions and creating a 3D model.
- Try-in and fixation with dental cement.
Lumineers – a solution without grinding teeth
Peculiarities:
- Ultra-thin plates that are fixed on unprepared enamel (without grinding).
- Removable - can be removed if necessary without damaging the enamel.
Advantages:
- Fast installation – in 2 visits.
- Ideal for temporary correction (for example, before a wedding).
- Minimal sensitivity after the procedure.

Caring for veneers: myths and rules

Reality: Seals do not interfere with installation unless they are on the front surface.
Advice from Veda Stom dentists:
