Laminate Veneers

Laminate veneer, also known as leaf porcelain, is an aesthetic application to permanently change the shape and color of teeth. In order to eliminate discoloration  and various deformities in the teeth, porcelain laminates in the form of nails are applied only to the front surface of the teeth, without intervening the entire tooth. Laminate veneer, which does not contain metal content in its infrastructure, is permeable to light and gives extremely successful and aesthetic results with its structure similar to tooth enamel, serves more than aesthetic purposes as a protective prosthesis.

• Discolored and stained teeth,
• Cases where the teeth are different from each other in size and shape,
• Teeth with various problems such as breakage and cracking,
• Gaps Between Teeth,
• Crooked teeth,
• Laminate veneer is a successful solution for patients who do not like their smile in general, to have a new smile.

During the treatment process, first of all, we will determine which medication is the right one for you in a preliminary discussion with one of our dentists. Then the digital design phase is started. At this stage, it is determined how the patient’s teeth will look. It is aimed to get maximum efficiency using mock-ups for guiding tooth preparation according to the size of the patient.

Afterwards, the front surface of the enamel tissue where the leaf porcelains will be placed is etched and the measurement is taken. Laminate veneers, which are prepared according to the measurements sent to the laboratory, are checked for compatibility in terms of color and shape before they are attached to the tooth. The last step is to restore the tooth with porcelain crown

Laminate veneer treatment is a method that requires a total of 2-3 sessions and is completed in an average of 1 week – 10 days and gives you very fast results. In this treatment method, which is not usually painful, local anesthesia can be applied according to the patient’s request. After the teeth are roughened, temporary teeth are applied to prevent possible sensitivity and image deformation.

Porcelain Laminate Veneers  have the following advantages;

– It  has a very similar appearance to natural tooth enamel thanks its light-permeable, transparent structure .

– It is not affected by substances that stain teeth such as tea, coffee, wine and cigarettes.

– It does not cause Gum Discoloration thanks to its metal-free products .

– It does not cause a complete abrasion on the tooth surface and is more protective for dental health than other methods.

The most important disadvantage of laminate veneers is that it is cost effective. Patients with teeth grinding and clenching problems may need to inform their dentist about this issue and take protective measures such as night plates after treatment.

After treatment, it is very important not to neglect oral care to protect the laminated teeth. Hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing and mouthwash should be performed regularly to prevent bacteria accumulation and caries formation in dental restorations. 6-monthly dental check-ups should be given the great importance. By doing this, it will be possible to ensure the longevity of Porcelain Laminate Veneers.
