Laminate Veneers
In this method, the entire tooth surface is not shaved; only the front surfaces are shaved between 0.3 and 0.7 mm. This minimizes the loss of healthy tooth tissue. Porcelain veneers are then adhered to the prepared area.
In which cases is porcelain veneer applied?
Porcelain laminate veneer treatment is suitable for almost anyone, especially in the following cases:
Irreversible Discoloration: When teeth whitening is ineffective, veneers can cover persistent stains.
Poor Structure and Shape: Teeth with undesirable shapes or structures can be improved.
Diastema Treatment: Veneers can close gaps between teeth.
Restoration of Broken or Worn Teeth: Veneers can restore the appearance and function of damaged teeth.
Replacement of Old Fillings: Veneers can replace fillings that have deteriorated in color and structure.
Correction of Crooked Teeth: Veneers can serve as an alternative cosmetic treatment for aligning teeth.
What are the advantages of porcelain laminate veneers?
Minimal Correction: The desired appearance is achieved with a minimal correction of 0.3 to 0.7 mm. The process typically takes 5 to 7 days.
Durable Materials: Veneers are made from durable, discoloration-resistant materials that maintain their appearance over time.
Aesthetic Properties: This treatment allows for achieving the desired aesthetic properties (color, shape, etc.) without damaging the natural tooth structure. The veneers involve very minimal changes, with the clipped layer being only 0.3 to 0.7 mm.
Customized Design: A model of your tooth is replicated, and the tooth design is completed based on this model. Changes planned before the operation can be shown as a demo at the beginning of the treatment, a process known as “make-up.”
Smooth Surface: The porcelain surface of the veneers is smooth, reducing the possibility of plaque build-up and staining from smoking, coffee, tea, and other factors.
Stain Resistance: Veneers do not discolor due to external factors like coffee, tea, or cigarettes.
High Resistance: They are highly resistant to erosion, ensuring longevity and durability.
