What Are Laminate Veneers?
The laminate veneer process is done to eliminate the deformations seen on the tooth surfaces in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Porcelain veneers, which can be described as a leaf technique, are fixed on the surface of the problematic teeth with special adhesives, providing a long-lasting use. Laminate veneers meet the aesthetic expectations of almost all patients who have had it done and are very natural-looking. They are also practical as they do not wear down the teeth as other veneers do. While preparing the laminate veneer, dentists determine the most suitable tone for the natural color of the teeth and prepare the veneers in the required sizes. Laminate veneers, which are prepared by taking measurements, can be applied to a single tooth or all teeth if needed. Laminate veneers are mostly preferred to treat deformations that occur in the anterior teeth. Furthermore, since they offer a good visual aesthetic and are very compatible with the tooth structure, laminate veneers are currently favored by many people.
Who Are Laminate Veneers For?
The laminate coating process: It is applied to patients with cracked tooth enamel, to remove an excessively yellow appearance and staining on teeth, to repair broken teeth, to correct the appearance of gap teeth and to make crooked teeth look aligned. In such cases, the easily applied laminate veneers can be fitted to a single tooth or to multiple teeth.
How Are Laminate Veneers Applied?
Coating the teeth with dental laminates is a process that is completed in approximately 2-3 sessions. Porcelain veneers, which are also known as porcelain leaves, are carefully designed with the measurements taken for each tooth and the determined color tones. After being prepared in accordance with the data collected in the initial examination, the laminate veneers are attached to the teeth with special adhesives in the second session. In the area where the laminate veneer will be applied, the tooth surface is not abraded like with other types of veneers. Veneers are fixed directly to the tooth surface with special adhesives. In addition, the application process maintains its permanence for many years in well-maintained laminate coated teeth. The porcelain crown made is very durable against external factors and has a smooth appearance due to its structure. However, this smooth appearance does not make the tooth look artificial. It is not possible to tell the difference between a laminate veneer with a compatible color tone and the patient’s natural teeth.
What To Do If You Want Laminate Veneers?
Laminate veneers are an ideal alternative for enamel cracks, broken teeth, and tooth structures where the whitening process is useless. Laminate veneers are successful in terms of recreating the old natural appearance, especially in small fractures that occur in the front teeth. In addition, the laminate coating process provides a white smile for people with naturally yellow teeth. The most important issue that people who have laminate veneers should pay attention to is that oral care practices are not neglected. By doing so, patients can use their veneers for the rest of their lives. Laminate veneers are not recommended only for people who experience gingival recession, people with severe deformations in the jaw structure, and people who clench their teeth at night in their sleep. The reason for this is to maintain the permanence of the application. Laminate veneers have been widely preferred in recent years and are a treatment method that exceeds expectations.
