Dental contact lenses are superfine prostheses that are applied over the patient's natural tooth.
Because they are very thin, they give a more natural result for the smile.
Dental contact lenses are quite resistant, so much so that they can last approximately 20 years, if you follow specific care indicated by the dentist after application.
HOW LONG DOES THE CONTACT LENS LAST?
People are very doubtful about how long contact lenses last, although they may give the impression of fragility due to their very thin thickness, prostheses can last a long time.
So we can say that the estimate is that its durability is about 20 years. But, if the patient strictly follows the guidelines of his dentist, it can last longer.
That's why it's important to comply with the professional's recommendations, if you do, you'll have perfect teeth and smile for many years.
This is precisely why it is important to always consult your dentist regularly: in addition to contributing to dental health, it will also make it possible to carry out preventive maintenance work on the prosthesis, leaving it in perfect condition for much longer.
CONTACT LENS VALUE
The value of dental contact lenses is a common question among those who want to achieve a perfect smile. However, it is difficult to establish an exact value because it can vary according to the patient's case, region of the country where he lives, materials used, among other details.
But in general, the average starting price per tooth is from R$ 3 thousand. It may be that this value is higher or lower depending on the professional who assists you, the region you live in, among other points that directly influence the price.
WHICH CARE FOR CONTACT LENSES?

SEE YOUR DENTIST REGULARLY
It is very important to emphasize that a regular visit to the dentist is fundamental, when you carry them out you can identify any problems in the dentures right at the beginning and correct them as soon as possible, minimizing costs and saving time.
DAILY BRUSHES
We know that having good oral hygiene is essential to prevent damage to dentures. So do daily brushing after each meal.
In this way, you will be able to remove traces of natural or artificial dyes deposited on the prostheses. To perform a complete cleaning, use dental floss and colorless, alcohol-free mouthwash.
TREAT BRUSISM
Bruxism is not an ally of the dental contact lens, as it increases the risk of damaging it. Because bruxism is a condition in which the person squeezes, grinds and saws their teeth in excess, being more intense during sleep.
One of the ways to treat bruxism is to use a plate indicated by the dentist and tailored to the patient. There is also the option of using botulinum toxin in the treatment.
DO NOT RUIN NAILS OR ANY OBJECT
If you are in the habit of biting nails and objects, such as straws, pens and pencils, you can irreversibly damage your dental contact lenses.
The main damage they can cause is displacement, detachment and fracture of prostheses, impairing the aesthetics of your smile.
BE CAREFUL WITH FOOD AND DRINKS WITH DYES
Dental contact lenses are also susceptible to color changes over time. But, the exaggerated consumption of food and drinks with dyes can intensify this process.
When ingesting this type of food or drink, it is recommended to brush your teeth afterwards, to prevent pigments from accumulating on the surface of the prosthesis and leaving stains.
