Porcelain Laminate Teeth

Lamina veneer teeth are usually 0.5 mm thick leaflets made of porcelain, prepared in the style of artificial nails. Although they are very thin, it is not possible to remove them from the teeth because they are bonded onto the teeth with a special technique; they can only be removed by cutting.  Laminates is a method applied with minimal abrasion which renders perfect aesthetic results. Since their luminous transmittance rate is 80%, they are indistinguishable from natural teeth.

There are two major factors for which we choose laminate teeth; one is that it is prepared with minimal abrasion on tooth surface, since the abraded surface is only the outer surface of the tooth, the natural tooth surfaces on the tongue and palate zones remain intact. So, healthy teeth surface losses are minimized. The second reason is, it meets aesthetic expectations with its high level features. Its luminous transmittance and biological compatibility with natural teeth is above and beyond accepted standards.

Lamina is bonded onto the tooth surface with special adhesives and it is impossible for it come off unless it is exposed to axial force. But it can be removed upon request by dentists. It can be used for many years provided that regular check ups are performed and the oral and dental health is good.

The processing time varies based on the number of teeth to be prepared, however, if it is to be applied on the approximately 6-8 front teeth, one and a half hours of time is needed for the first session. Then 1 week later
