What is Laminate Veneer?

This thin layer, also known as laminate veneer, laminated tooth, porcelain veneer, can be applied with composite or porcelain in the mouth. They are thin advanced porcelain leaf ceramic applications applied to the tooth surface in aesthetic dentistry. Laminate veneer applications, which can change both the shape and color of the tooth by making a minimum abrasion only on the visible part of the tooth instead of cutting the entire tooth and coating it, are one of the most commonly used methods in aesthetic dentistry.

What are Laminate Veneer Types?

The material used in laminate veneer treatment can be porcelain or composite. Porcelain laminate veneers are prepared in the laboratory by a dental technician. Composite laminate veneer is applied in the mouth by the dentist. Although composite laminate veneers can be completed in a single session, porcelain laminate veneers can be completed in 5-7 days because they are laboratory stages.

The precise impression taken from the mouth is transferred to the computer environment in the laboratory and the design is rehearsed in the mouth after aesthetic application on the glass ceramic cut from the block. Laminated dental veneers, which require a delicate bonding process, can be applied at a slightly higher price than normal dental veneers. Situations where laminated tooth application is required are usually stains or tooth yellowing on the teeth.

Fractures on the tooth can be restored to its natural appearance with laminate dental treatment.

Intermittent teeth: Laminate veneer dental treatments, which are applied as a successful treatment option in the treatment of intermittent teeth, provide extremely useful and aesthetic results. They are applied in intermittent dental treatments to cover the gaps in natural tooth color with a very thin application on the surface and to provide a complete symmetry in the mouth. Lamina tooth application is at least as successful as bonding application. In terms of surface properties, they provide superior aesthetics than bonding application because they can last longer and are shiny. Since composite laminated (bonding) dental applications are cheaper in terms of price, the primary preference of patients is composite bonding and continues with porcelain laminate veneers in the future.

Slightly crooked or angular teeth are problems that can be solved with laminated dental treatment. Especially in the anterior tooth area, crowding that causes aesthetic concerns can be treated with laminate veneer dental applications, although the cost is a bit high for patients who do not want orthodontic treatment.

What should not be forgotten in laminate veneer dental treatment is that it requires regular dentist control and hard objects should not be bitten during use.

Dental Problems That Can Be Corrected With Laminate Veneers

Many dental defects can be eliminated with laminate application. Today, with porcelain laminates, the length of invisible teeth can be lengthened and made visible. If there are unsightly gaps between the teeth, these gaps can be closed with porcelain laminate. The color of teeth that are excessively yellowed and other whitening procedures have not yielded results can be changed. If there are crowding in the tooth alignment, these can also be corrected. As you can see, many cosmetic problems can be eliminated with laminate. Apart from these, it can also be used in teeth with sensitivity due to severe enamel wear and teeth with lack of function.

How is Laminate Veneer Applied?

In porcelain lamina applications, the treatment is usually completed within two or three appointments.

1. First Appointment: After you decide, when you come to the first appointment, a preparation process is performed on the surface of your teeth and a layer of zero one to zero 3 mm thick is abraded with the help of anesthesia only on the outer part. Preparation of customized dimensions: Aesthetic lamina teeth are prepared in the laboratory using CAD CAM system on the precise tooth impression taken. The dental technician produces dental veneers that meet the needs, wishes and expectations of the patient by adding small additions and polishing on this thin ceramic sheet porcelain.
2. dfrSecond Visit: The dentist can show the porcelain lamina work to the patient in about 4-5 days. New generation aesthetic dental veneers, which are often liked in the first rehearsal, can be sent to the dental laboratory again for correction if necessary. In the finishing stage, the drug that provides chemical adhesion between the tooth surface and the leaf porcelain is applied and permanently bonded.
