What is Laminate Veneer?

Lamniate Veneers, which are used within the scope of aesthetic dentistry, allow to design a smile. Actually, veneers are a type of ceramic porcelain. Porcelains prepared according to the patient’s teeth and mouth structure are carefully adhered by the dentist.
Porcelains to be bonded can be between 0.3mm and 0.5mm thick. Ceramic porcelains, which are quite thin, are unnoticeable in daily life and can be used easily. However, there are some points to consider before planning laminate veneer treatment. For this, a rehearsal is made by designing a smile before the prosthesis stage.

Who Can Have Laminate Veneer Treatment?

Thanks to laminate veneer treatment, patients can have a better smile. This treatment is often preferred in the following cases.

• Treating problems such as discoloration or stains on the teeth.
• Achieving a brand new and more attractive smile with aesthetic smile design.
• If there are gaps (diestema) between the teeth, the diestemas can be removed with ceramic porcelains.
• These ceramic porcelains can be used to hide the cracks in the teeth.
• People who want to have whiter teeth and permanent whiteness can also choose this method.
  
  Although laminate veneers are applied in all these cases, there are some points to be considered in treatment planning. All existing oral and dental problems should be treated before the application of ceramic porcelain. If ceramic porcelains are applied without treating existing problems, conditions such as dental caries, decementation or gingival problems may occur later on.
