Ultraneers are ultra-thin veneers made of e.max glass ceramics. Thin linings have a high cost, justifying their excellent quality. Specialists at the Implantmaster clinic consider ultraneers to be the most aesthetic and durable veneers, which is confirmed by patient reviews.
The desire to give teeth a dazzling snow-white shade and perfect shape forces people to resort to the most expensive, labor-intensive and lengthy restorative procedures.
Fortunately, modern dentistry does not stand still: existing treatment methods are being improved, the quality of materials is improving, and innovative technology is being involved in the restoration process. Today, it is possible to achieve the ideal condition of teeth thanks to special ultra-thin overlays.
Ultraneers are precisely such plates: despite the fact that the price for 1 tooth with such a microprosthesis is significantly overpriced, they allow you to adjust the shape and shade, as well as correct the bite. With the help of such ceramic products, each patient receives a perfect smile in a short time.
Dentistry "Implantmaster" implements innovative methods of dental restoration that allow you to restore them to their ideal condition in just 2 visits. At the same time, we carry out direct cooperation with top manufacturers, which guarantees a flexible pricing policy and contributes to obtaining an impeccable aesthetic result for a long time. Our key advantages also include the use of improved anesthesia methods and high-precision technology. Moreover, ultraneers will be installed by competent specialists with extensive work experience.
Further in the article we will introduce you to the main subtleties of using ultra-thin onlays on teeth. In addition, you will be able to study the specifics of pricing and find out the opinions of patients who have previously undergone the restoration procedure.
What are ultranir?
Ultraneers are an innovative achievement in the field of modern dentistry. They are ultra-thin overlays that reliably protect the surface of the teeth, and also improve their shade and shape.
The production of such plates is carried out in laboratory conditions, using IPS e.max glass ceramics. The development of this material was carried out in Germany. At the moment, it is the safest material for the human body, which, moreover, has unsurpassed strength, uniformity and a long service life. It is obtained by pressing under high pressure.
What you should pay attention to
First, you need to contact a team of high-class doctors. After all, not only the dentist will be involved in the process, but also a number of specialists involved in preparing impressions and plates.
Poor quality work can lead to the formation of a gap between the microprosthesis and the natural tooth. And in the case of an advanced situation - the appearance of plaque, caries, and destruction of enamel. Bleeding gums can be caused by the veneer cutting deeply into the gums. Also, if the fixation is incorrect, the size of the jaw visually increases.
The plates require careful handling and proper care. Mechanical impact may cause a crack to appear and the ceramic to chip. If the plate peels off, it will need to be completely replaced.
Difference between veneers, lumineers or ultraneers
All of the above plates are small in thickness and have an important property - they can improve the aesthetic parameters of teeth in the frontal zone. With the help of such plates, it is possible to “mask” such undesirable imperfections as curvature, darkening of the enamel, interdental spaces, cracks and chips.
Veneers are recognized as the forefathers of restorations. Such overlays are up to 1 mm thick and are made of zirconium or ceramic material. Aluminum dioxide can also be used in their production process. In order to eliminate the bulky effect, natural teeth are prepared before fixing such plates. This, in turn, does not suit all clinic visitors.
The next step in the field of microprosthetics was the production of lumineers. Such restorations first found application in Hollywood, which is why they are called “Hollywood veneers.” The production of such porcelain plates is carried out in the Cerinate laboratory (USA). In addition, e.max glass-ceramic material can be used in the manufacturing process of these overlays. A mandatory step when creating lumineers is taking dental impressions.
A distinctive feature of the above plates is their small thickness - no more than 0.3 mm, which eliminates the need for tooth preparation. When using such plates, a higher aesthetic result and a longer operational period (about 20 years) are achieved. However, the cost of such restorations remains high for most patients. Moreover, they are not suitable for everyone.
The appearance of ultranirs on the domestic market has made it possible to achieve impressive aesthetic results. They are identical to Lumineers, but are produced in our country. In the manufacturing process of these plates, ceramic material IPS e.max is used, obtained by pressing and characterized by increased strength. There is no need for preparation, since the thickness of such onlays does not exceed 0.5 mm.
Veneers
Veneers are made from ordinary ceramics; this work is done today in all dental laboratories. Their thickness can be from one and a half millimeters. If veneers made from simple ceramics are made thinner, they will crack even with a slight load on the teeth, since ceramics are a fragile material.
Benefits of veneers
- Beautiful appearance of the linings.
- Veneers retain their shape until they are damaged.
- Veneers do not shrink.
- No plaque forms on the surface of these overlays.
- Veneers never lose their original color.
- No problems with installation, since this type of work is done in all dental clinics.
- Fast production of overlays.
- Lowest price of all dental veneers.
Disadvantages of veneers
- Veneers cannot be installed if the tooth enamel is too thin.
- The need for teeth grinding.
- Relatively short service life (up to 10 years).
- When re-installing veneers, grinding of the teeth is required again.

Expected Result
With professional, high-quality and united work of the patient - orthopedist - technique, the result obtained will in no way disappoint your expectations and dreams. To achieve the desired result you should:
- choose a clinic with modern equipment and a dental laboratory;
- go to a professional doctor who works on quality, not quantity;
- Describe to the doctor in as much detail as possible what you want to see after the work is completed.
If the result does not satisfy you, do not be upset or, even worse, remain silent about it. It is almost always possible to change and adjust the design according to your wishes.
And you should also be prepared for the fact that the shape of your future teeth will not be the same as before. Ultraneers are onlays for full teeth, so the volume cannot remain the same.

In what cases are ultraneers installed?
Despite the increased attractiveness of microprostheses for modern residents, they cannot solve complex dental problems. As a rule, ultraneers are installed only if there are minor deficiencies:
- Cosmetic enamel defects (chips and cracks);
- Hereditary or acquired darkening of shade;
- Slight curvature of individual areas;
- The presence of minor gaps between dental units.
Before installing ultraneers in Moscow, a specialist must carry out a thorough inspection and identify possible limitations. These include:
- Malocclusion;
- Unconscious closing of the jaws;
- Excessive tooth wear;
- The presence of any infectious processes in the body, diseases in the cardiovascular system, psychological disorders, etc.);
- Inadequate oral care.
Technology and installation
After completing the preparatory stage , the production of ultraneers will take up to ten days, and two to four visits to an orthopedic dentist will be required.
First visit:
- Consultation with a doctor.
- Taking a double silicone impression.
- Selecting the color of future enamel using a special scale.
- In the laboratory, wax is first formed, and plastic (temporary) overlays are melted from them.
Second visit:
- trying on plastic ultraneers, assessing the future shape already on the teeth, adjusting them if necessary;
- taking an impression along with temporary ultraneers;
- layer-by-layer modeling of ceramics.
Third visit:
- fitting;
- fixation with special cement (can be temporary or immediately permanent).
After permanent fixation, the patient is recommended to return in a week for an examination for finishing and polishing of the onlays.
In more equipped clinics, it is possible to computer simulate future ultras. That is, on the monitor screen in 3D mode you can see how the linings in the patient’s mouth will look, and, if desired, correct them both in shape and color.
CAD/CAM technology is completely robotic and does not require a dental laboratory. The design is created in a special unit and controlled by a computer, therefore it is capable of producing the product very quickly and with high precision.
Installation stages of ultranir
To fix ultraneers on the teeth, the patient needs to visit a specialist 2 times. In this case, the procedure itself includes three successive steps:
1. During the initial consultation, the dentist determines how likely it is to install ultra-thin veneers and makes a plan for future interventions. In the absence of any pathological processes in the body and oral cavity, as well as restrictions on restoration, the doctor proceeds to the stage of creating an impression of the teeth.
2. Based on the resulting impression (we use a 3shape 3D scanner), an ultra-thin ceramic veneer is made. This stage lasts about 7-14 days.
3. The need for a second visit to a specialist is due to the completion of the process of producing ultra-thin veneers. In this case, the surface of the tooth is initially cleaned of plaque, after which ultra-thin onlays are fixed on the front side of the teeth using a special means. The final step of the procedure is polishing.
Install veneers on teeth in St. Petersburg
Today there are a huge number of clinics engaged in aesthetic dentistry. Installing veneers on teeth has not been a problem for a long time. However, choosing a good dentist in St. Petersburg is a task. The client expects to be greeted by highly qualified staff and inexpensive prices for services. However, this does not happen as often as we would like. The cost of one microprosthesis can reach an exorbitant amount.
The multidisciplinary clinic “Seven Doctors” provides its clients with the opportunity to visit dentistry in St. Petersburg and install inexpensive veneers without losing their quality.
To summarize, it is worth saying that before the procedure for installing ceramic plates, you should consult with your doctor and decide which option of aesthetic dentistry is right for you.
Pros and cons of ultra-thin veneers
The advantages of using such microprostheses include:
- No need for tooth preparation;
- Possibility of obtaining an enamel shade identical to natural;
- If necessary, the ability to create the perfect snow-white tone;
- Long operational period – about 10 years;
- Achieving extreme strength, which is facilitated by the use of a unique modern material IPS e.max. In addition, this material is characterized by increased resistance to staining;
- Saving financial and time costs, since ultraneers are produced in our country;
- Shortened installation period;
- No discomfort during the procedure;
- Fully compatible with natural teeth.
Negative sides:
- The cost of ultranir is significantly inflated;
- Requires careful cleaning and careful handling;
- They are not eliminated when it is necessary to eliminate complex deficiencies.
Advantages
Dentistry does not stand still, and every year new, more practical and affordable designs and materials are being developed.
Ultraneers have all the positive qualities:
- Hypoallergenic material.
- The aesthetics are as close as possible to natural teeth.
- The German material from Vivadent has been successful on the world market for more than 20 years.
- Easy to maintain and minimal risk of discoloration of the lining.
- Ultra-strong, durable material will last more than ten years.
- Manufactured in Russian dental laboratories, which reduces production time.

Ultranir service life
The uniqueness of the IPS e max ceramic material lies in its ability to withstand increased loads even with a small thickness of 0.3 mm. Moreover, such a metal-free plate is characterized by uniformity and the ability to maintain the original shade for 10 years or more. When done correctly, ultranir adheres tightly to the tooth surface, which guarantees long-term use and resistance to external influences. Taking into account the indicated indicators and the possibility of a professional approach, ultranir can have a service life of about 15 years .
In our dentistry, highly qualified specialists with impressive experience in the field of artistic dental restoration will work with you. They regularly take advanced training courses in the best foreign clinics and master the intricacies of working with innovative restoration materials. We also use modern equipment in our activities, which significantly improves the quality and accuracy of the procedures performed, and also guarantees a prolonged result.
Kinds
Veneers can be ceramic or composite, depending on the material from which they are made. Composite veneers restore the aesthetics and function of teeth, but have a short service life, change color over time, are saturated with food pigments, and can chip because they are not strong enough. They are made from light-curing photopolymer materials - Estilite SigmaQuick, Spectrum, Filtek Ultimate, Gradia Direct, Charisma, Versa COMP, Valux Plus.
Ceramic veneers have many advantages: reliable fixation, high aesthetic performance, color fastness, long service life and good strength. Ceramic veneers are made from the following materials: Finesse All Ceramic, Cergo, E-max, Empress. Componeers are a type of composite veneers, but they are made from a higher quality nano-hybrid material by Componeer TM Set upper. Lumineers and ultraneers are made from special, highly durable porcelain ceramics.
Prices for ultraneers at the Implantmaster clinic
Composite dental restoration | from 4,750 ₽ |
Composite veneers (Componeers) | 15 000 ₽ |
Ceramic veneer “CEREC” (from zirconium dioxide, made using CAD/CAM technology) | 25 000 ₽ |
Ultraneers “E-Max” (made of glass ceramics based on lithium disilicate, does not require grinding of tooth enamel) | 31 000 ₽ |
Ceramic veneer on refractory (made of feldspathic ceramics, does not require grinding of tooth enamel) | 50 000 ₽ |
If you are interested in ultraneers and the price of their installation, be prepared for significant costs. At the same time, the cost may be influenced by the rating of the institution and the professionalism of the specialists operating in it. As a rule, ultraneers are made separately into plates, and the price for 1 tooth in Moscow can reach 35,000 rubles. However, composite veneers will cost you less than ultraveneers. But the quality of the above linings is significantly inferior to ultra-thin plates.
If a dentist offers you ultra-thin veneers at a cost below 25,000 rubles, such a price may indicate insufficient competence of a specialist or the use of low-quality materials.

When should you think about going to the dentist?
The technology of dental microprosthetics is used in a number of the following cases:
- deformation of the growth of teeth relative to each other (crowding);
- chipped tooth enamel;
- with hypoplasia - underdevelopment of tooth enamel (the upper layers of the tooth are partially or completely absent, white spots on a yellowed tooth);
- with fluorosis (a symmetrical change in the color of the enamel of adjacent teeth occurs, the crown is deformed);
- wide spaces between teeth;
- strong abrasion of enamel;
- refusal of the enamel whitening procedure.
Dental care with ultra-thin veneers
To maintain the impeccable appearance of teeth with ultraneers, it is advisable to follow simple rules of care. These include daily brushing, flossing, or flossing. It is also recommended to rinse your mouth regularly.
But it should be borne in mind that if excessive forces are applied during care, the plate installed on the tooth may be subject to fractures. In addition, it is necessary to avoid eating solid foods after fixing ultra-thin veneers.
Advantages and disadvantages of lumineers
Dentists emphasize that when installing lumineers, cutting down the top layer of the tooth is not required. This is a kind of “sedative” for the patient. However, when teeth grow directly relative to the gums, lumineers can significantly increase their thickness, which will cause a feeling of discomfort.
Since the plate is fixed on an untreated, but, importantly, healthy tooth, the edge of the lumineer will be slightly lower than the gum. Subsequently, this can lead to the accumulation of plaque in the gap and prolong the process of high-quality cleaning of the oral cavity.
The appearance of lumineers is very close to natural, so for a “Hollywood smile” it is better to use veneers or ultraneers.
Correction is a very long process. You will have to make a new impression, send it to Los Angeles (that’s where they manufacture these microprostheses) and wait for the result.
Patient reviews of ultranir
If we talk about the installation of ultranir, then reviews of this service are generally positive. Patients note increased comfort during the procedure. The perfect aesthetic effect obtained after fixing such ultra-thin overlays deserves special attention. Teeth acquire a beautiful, even shape and an excellent snow-white shade, identical to natural. Also in favor of choosing plates is their long service life and ease of maintenance.
In Implantmaster dentistry, dental restoration using ultra-thin veneers is performed under a microscope, which eliminates the possibility of any errors. Instead of impressions, we use an intraoral 3D scanner 3shape and carry out computer modeling of the smile so that you can evaluate the result before installation. In addition, we use high-quality Emax glass ceramics in our work, which makes it possible to better adjust the shade and shape of teeth and obtain an impeccable restoration result.

So, veneers, lumineers, ultraneers, infraneers, refractory cheroneers and other super-thin ***-ires. What is the difference? In fact, there is no difference. All of the above are a type of veneers, made using similar technologies from similar materials.
Then why so many names?
Everything is as simple as touching two fingers... like twice-two. Each manufacturer, at best, tries to come up with something new; at worst, they give their own names to well-known and long-existing things. But since nothing new has been invented in microprosthetics (i.e., aesthetic restoration of teeth using laboratory prosthetic products) for a long time, each director is in a hurry to make minimal modifications to the well-known technological chain, getting the same output as before give the method its own name and position it as the “author’s” technique.
This is called marketing. Senseless and merciless.
In other words, dear friends, veneers-ultraneers-lumineers-cheroneers are different names for the same method of restoring the crown part of a tooth. And if someone claims that Lumineers are better than veneers, then, to put it mildly, they are mistaken. Roughly speaking, it's p...dit.
Veneers with grinding, lumineers without turning...
Another myth designed to convince you that an egg in profile looks different than an egg in front.
Chief's comment: It depends on whose egg...
If we consider the technology of installing any aesthetic structure on a tooth, then you need to understand that you will still have to remove a very small layer of enamel.
Because nature and true beauty do not tolerate excess. And teeth, even if they are not quite the correct shape and color, when adding some more plates on top, they become unnatural, massive, and instead of improving aesthetics, we get a completely opposite effect. Chief's comment: This, by the way, is the reason why teeth covered with the so-called.
“composite veneers” look artificial at best, and worse than the worst artificial ones at worst. Because it is impossible to create a thin and yet durable plate from a composite filling material. But the problem is not only aesthetics. The issue of food getting stuck and ease of hygiene arises acutely, since veneers fixed without site preparation may simply not have enough space. They overlap each other. in addition, a “pocket” appears in the area where, supposedly, thin veneers go under the gum. Problems arise with hygiene, bleeding - and here it is, as the boss says, “previous, periodontitis!” In addition, teeth can be destroyed and rotted under such, like, “aesthetic structures.”
As a result, as you can see, veneers have their own indications and contraindications, pros and cons. And before you plan to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile in this way, you should, at a minimum, talk with a competent specialist and delve into this technology.
The same applies to lumineers. After all, if veneers are a method, then lumineers are just a brand. They were invented by the company Cerinate (USA) so that “every president of USA had his own Melania Trump snow-white American Hollywood smile.” Like, we have learned to make ceramic plates so thin that you can stick them on your teeth and not even notice the change in thickness. Whether you can trust the Americans with their sanctions and Trump - decide for yourself.
But still…
…there are situations where Lumineers are really good. Such cases include:
– the teeth are small in themselves.
– there are distances between them and you just need to make up for it.
Between us, in such cases, without preparation, ordinary ceramic veneers can be installed, without any brands or American presidents. But the share of such cases in the total volume of aesthetic restorations is negligible, even in the busiest years it amounts to no more than 1-2% of the total number of requests for improving aesthetics.
In most cases, we meet patients whose teeth are quite long/wide in size, uneven and do not have gaps. And it will not be possible to improve the aesthetics of teeth, make a smile beautiful, harmonious and, most importantly, natural, without minimal preparation.
I don't recommend trying this out for yourself. I once removed a patient’s teeth after a similar “aesthetic restoration using American technology.” They completely rotted under the Lumineers. Unfortunately, nothing could be saved.
Next, I will tell you what you need to know before you decide to improve the aesthetics of your smile using veneer technology. And I'll show you how it's done.
Don't switch and take care of your teeth! ⠀ Sincerely, Ivan Algazin.

Rules of care
There are no special instructions for caring for ultraneers. You just have to maintain good oral hygiene.
- brush your teeth 2 times a day;
- use rinse aids;
- Don't get carried away with toothpicks; it's better to use dental floss.
What can happen?
- Break off.
- Coloring.
- Crack.
- Peeling off.
Important! Protect your teeth from physical and chemical factors (gnawing a pencil, seeds, alternating too hot and cold). Avoid frequent consumption of coloring foods (black coffee, berries, food coloring).
However, if the ultraneers come off after less than a year, then most likely the structure was not made well enough and the fit to the tooth is not tight. Another possible error is that the doctor performed the fixation procedure poorly, and foreign particles got into the glue.
