It is a very thin porcelain that is sticked on the patient’s teeth. Although these porcelains are very thin, they are extremely durable when adhered to the tooth surface.

Porcelain Laminates are the most preferred application.

At the first appointment, our dentist takes measurements of the patient’s teeth and takes pictures. You will be informed about the latest status. The patient’s gums are examined. When an operation is to be performed on the gums, for example, if the teeth are exposed a lot while smiling, the process of shortening the gums, called gingivectomy, is performed. After waiting for a few days for the procedure and the gums take their final shape, a very small amount of abrasion is done to make room for the porcelain lamina on the front of the teeth. The measurements taken in the computer environment with a digital scanner are designed in the computer environment or the measurements taken with traditional methods are delivered to the laboratory and the treatment of placing the laminae in the mouth is applied in the second session.

The advantages of porcelain laminates are that they have a very natural and aesthetic appearance. Except for the person receiving treatment, nobody understands the porcelain application. Only the front part of the teeth is cut. Since the part of the teeth facing the tongue is the real tooth part, the tongue does not feel any difference.

For this process, it is essential that the teeth have not been cut before. If veneer has been made, it is no longer possible to make porcelain laminates. If there is a problem called closing problem that will negatively affect the laminates, or if the teeth are too crooked, porcelain laminate application may not be performed. After the application of porcelain laminates, which are made in a shape, size and color suitable for the person, there is no need to show extreme care when using. It will be enough just to show the importance that should be given to their own teeth. With a high level of oral care (with the condition of using daily dental floss), it is possible to walk around with healthy, natural porcelain for many years.

Being able to smile comfortably and not hiding your smile in pictures is a feature that many people want to have. It is now quite possible with today’s technology to enable an impressive smile. With the application technique called laminate vener, it is possible for people to have the smile they want in a short time like a week.

In which cases is laminate treatment applied?

Laminate veneers can be made basically for the purpose of removing color changes and correcting the shape to a certain extent. The main application areas can be summarized as follows:

In discoloration, advanced antibiotics, fluorine, etc., which do not produce results with methods such as bleaching (teeth whitening). in hereditary structure and color disorders in stains,

Connecting split teeth (diastema closure),

In the restoration of broken or worn teeth,

In the correction of old fillings whose color and structure have deteriorated,

It can be a cosmetic alternative.

Who can be injured from laminate treatment?

Almost everyone! People of all age groups who complain about the above reasons can benefit from laminate treatment. However, bad habits such as jaw disorders, nail biting, pen biting are not applied in cases where there is severe gingival damage. Your dentist will decide this best.

What are the clinical application stages of laminate treatment?

First of all, your tooth is prepared for the procedure, the residues on it are cleaned. Impressions are then taken to obtain an exact copy of your tooth. The layer to be adhered to your tooth is prepared from porcelain material. Finally, as with adhesive systems (bonding), laminates are fused to the surface of the existing tooth with resin (an adhesive intermediate).
