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.
Ultraneers
Ultraneers were invented in Germany. They are also made in Russia, from special E.max ceramics. These onlays are thinner than veneers, but slightly thicker than lumineers. Their minimum thickness is 0.6 mm. Such onlays can sometimes be installed without grinding the teeth, and sometimes with minimal grinding. This depends on the characteristics of each patient's teeth.
Advantages of ultranir
- Excellent appearance, almost the same as lumineers.
- Mechanical characteristics are similar to lumineers.
- Maximum resemblance to natural teeth.
- Preservation of color and shape until wear or breakage.
- Fast production time for overlays.
- Service life over 10 years.
Disadvantages of ultranir
- High cost compared to veneers, but at the same time they cost a third less than lumineers. For one tooth you will have to pay at least 20 thousand rubles.
- The need to occasionally grind teeth.
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.
Lumineers
Lumineers
A new direction in aesthetic dentistry has recently been the installation of lumineers . They are also called Hollywood teeth veneers. American manufactures and supplies such linings.
The plates are made from high-strength ceramics, the plate thickness of which is only 0.2-0.3 mm.
Installing lumineers, unlike ceramic veneers, has a number of positive aspects:
- before installing ultra-thin veneers, no heavy grinding of the tooth is required; only a minimal layer of enamel is removed;
- since the installation procedure does not require tooth preparation, therefore, it is painless and does not require anesthesia;
- resistance to mechanical loads, do not wear out over time;
- these linings are glued to a special composition insoluble in saliva, which contains a substance - fluoride, which has a beneficial effect on the teeth, and thereby protects against secondary caries;
- the ability to choose the color of the lining identical to the natural color of the patient’s teeth;
- The service life of such veneers is up to 20 years.
Despite the advantages of lumineers, there are also disadvantages:
- since lumineers are produced only in one place - in America, patients have to wait about 2 months before installation;
- The cost of installing one lumineer is several times higher than the cost of a veneer.

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.
Caring for dental veneers
No matter how high-quality modern dental onlays are, they still remain not natural teeth, but fixed dentures. Caring for them is as usual as for natural teeth. They need to be brushed regularly with a good toothpaste and have regular dental checkups.
If you have dental veneers, you should refrain from biting hard foods. Experts advise not to even bite apples. It is better to cut solid foods or fruits into small pieces. Otherwise, the pads may break.
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.
Advantages and disadvantages of ultranir
Installing ultraneers can be beneficial for a number of reasons, but it is worth installing the onlays taking into account the recommendations of your doctor. In the table below, Startsmile compared all the pros and cons of ultranir.
- Installation of ultraneers is quick and painless.
In Russian laboratories, ultraneers are produced in 7–14 days, while the production of lumineers requires additional time (up to 30 days) to ship finished structures from the USA. Installation of ceramic plates does not cause discomfort - the procedure is painless. - Partial restoration available.
If your goal is to improve the appearance of 1-2 teeth, installing ultraneers will be the ideal solution, while the use of lumineers is only relevant when restoring the entire smile area. This is due to the fact that ultraneers are more transparent than lumineers and are closer to the natural color of teeth, although they give them a lighter shade. - You can always remove ultraneers.
The procedure takes little time and does not damage tooth enamel. - Affordable price.
No damage to the enamel if the patient wants to return the teeth to their original state.
- Ceramic linings require careful handling and care.
The downside of ultraneers is that you will have to stop eating solid foods (nuts, crackers, seeds) and eat raw fruits and vegetables with caution. Otherwise, the records may crack. Do not forget about regular brushing of your teeth twice a day, as well as the need to use dental floss and an irrigator, cleaning the gingival folds and the space between the teeth. - Ultraneers do not correct serious dental defects.
If you have severely crooked teeth, large chips, or thinned tooth enamel, applying ceramic onlays will not help the situation. In addition, ultraneers are attached to the teeth in the smile zone, which means they can correct minor defects only in the front teeth. - The procedure may be prohibited.
If you have diseases of the teeth or oral cavity (for example, gingivitis, periodontitis and others), then ultraneers are contraindicated 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.
Before and after installation
Before installing orthopedic onlays on teeth, it is necessary to carry out sanitation of the oral cavity. The doctor must examine and treat all obvious diseases of the gums, teeth, and mucous membranes. It is recommended to remove decayed teeth and roots that are not amenable to therapeutic treatment.
Eliminate gum inflammation using dental procedures and medications. Treat caries, pulpitis and periodontitis to eliminate the source of infection in the mouth. Also, before fixing veneers, you need to carry out professional oral hygiene.
After installing the structures on the teeth, it is necessary to adhere to hygienic care and avoid factors that could damage the linings. These include bad habits, opening bottles with teeth, cracking seeds, nuts, etc. You should visit your doctor every six months to have your teeth and veneers examined.
Immediately after installing the onlays, you may experience discomfort in your teeth and gums. These symptoms are associated with tissue preparation, installation of retraction cords, and possible damage to the gingival margin. In the first few days, the process of adaptation to the design takes place and all unpleasant symptoms should disappear. If your teeth are constantly bothering you, you need to consult a specialist.
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.
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.
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.

What it is
Ultraneers are the latest stage in the evolution of veneers in domestic medicine. The products are designed to correct the shape and color, as well as protect the elements of the dentition.
Onlays are made in a dental laboratory using metal-free ceramics IPS e-max.
This material was developed in Germany and is one of the most durable and biologically safe for the human body today.
It is based on lithium disylate ceramics, obtained by pressing under high pressure, which gives the material durability and uniformity.
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.
What kind of miracle?
Veneers, lumineers and ultraneers are artificial coverings for the front teeth. Their purpose is only one thing - to give the owner of the overlays a “Hollywood smile.” With the help of these onlays you can not only hide some flaws, but completely change the appearance of your upper and lower teeth, making them simply perfect.
In some ways, these pads can be compared to contact lenses for the eyes. They are just as thin and even a little transparent. Not so long ago, they were available only to a narrow circle of people, because they were very expensive. The pads were mainly used by actors and fashion models. Today, with the development of technology, they are available to everyone.
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.
