Laminated Veneers

What is Laminated Dental Veneers?

Laminated dental veneers, which are among the most commonly applied aesthetic dentistry procedures today, are also known as laminate, laminate veneer or leaf tooth. The basis of laminated dental veneer treatment is to cover the aesthetic concerns related to the front group of teeth in the mouth with thin porcelain without losing much material on the front surface of the teeth.

In laminated dental veneers treatment, the front surface of the teeth is covered using sheet porcelains. The plaques attached to the teeth have a thickness ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 mm. The purpose of the laminated tooth coating method, which is frequently preferred to repair stained, yellowing, broken teeth depending on reasons that may vary depending on the individual, is to ensure a smooth and perfect appearance on the teeth. Thanks to the laminated dental veneer treatment, which is a highly effective procedure, it is possible to give teeth a natural whiteness.

In the leaf tooth or laminated dental veneer treatment, porcelain leaflet ceramics, which have an extremely thin structure, are adhered to the parts of the patient’s teeth that come into contact with the cheek and lip, that is, on the front surfaces. In this way, the bad appearance in the front area of the teeth is corrected and the patient is provided with a much more aesthetically satisfying appearance. Having teeth that look like natural teeth can become a factor that increases self-confidence.

Under Eye Bruises Treatment

Under-eye light filling is often used to treat dark circles under the eyes. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers injected into the designated points in the under-eye area provide a brighter reflection of light from a flatter surface. It is a procedure that should be performed by specialized and experienced doctors who have a high level of anatomical control over the eye area. Although it is a method that provides extremely reliable and effective results, it can cause lifelong permanent puffiness and a bluish color reflection, especially if superficial application is performed.

Filler application is not performed if there are prominent fat bags in the lower eyelid, lid laxity or significant loss of elasticity in the skin. Because filling application may cause existing problems to become more prominent. Making this distinction depends on the expertise and experience of the plastic surgeon. Therefore, care should be taken in choosing a plastic surgeon.

What are the Types of Laminated Teeth?

There are two different types of laminated teeth: composite laminate and porcelain laminate. Composite laminate; It can be preferred to change the shape and color of the tooth without any damage to the tooth, to enlarge it or to improve any problem and give the tooth an aesthetic appearance. If the tooth structure is suitable, it can be made by the dentist on the same day.

Porcelain laminate, on the other hand, is a highly effective and frequently preferred type of laminated tooth in terms of eliminating discoloration, damage, crookedness and various discomforts in the teeth. Porcelain laminate is placed on the front surface of the teeth. Thanks to its thin structure and the fact that it is specially prepared in a laboratory environment, it does not cause any discomfort to the teeth.

How to Care for Laminated Dental Veneers?

For laminated dental veneer care, it is basically sufficient to perform the daily routine care for normal teeth. In this context, laminated dental veneers should be brushed at least 2 times a day. In addition, dental floss should be used after brushing the teeth due to the risk of food residues remaining under the veneers. Laminated dental veneers should be checked by the dentist every 6 months and gum treatment should be applied when necessary.

For 10 to 15 days following the laminated dental veneer treatment, teeth may develop sensitivity to hot and cold foods or beverages. In such cases, the use of toothpastes with desensitizing properties may be beneficial. Since there is no color loss in laminated teeth, it is not necessary to use toothpastes with whitening properties.

What are the Advantages of Lamina Veneers?

Laminated dental veneers are a conservative dental treatment procedure. Between 0.3 and 0.7 mm, that is, minimal amounts of tooth tissue are removed from the tooth planned to be treated. Thanks to the removal of tooth tissue, the tooth has minimal hot and cold sensitivity. In many cases, it can even be seen that there is no sensitivity after the application.

Porcelains used in laminated dental veneer treatment are resistant to abrasion. It has a robust structure and its colors do not deteriorate. Thanks to these properties, the color of laminated dental veneers is not affected by the consumption of tea, coffee, cigarettes and other substances that can cause tooth discoloration. Laminate dental veneers offer a safe experience of use for many years without undesirable situations such as structural changes or discoloration.

During laminated dental veneer treatment, there is no contact with the chewing surface of the patient’s teeth. This also means that the natural structure of the teeth will not be disturbed and natural tooth sensitivity will not be lost. In addition, patients get used to laminated dental veneers in a shorter period of time.

Since porcelain, which is a fragile material under normal conditions, gains high resistance to tensile and tensile forces when it adheres to tooth enamel, it is not possible for laminated dental veneers to fall off easily. In this way, a safe usage experience can be achieved.

In order to successfully apply laminated dental veneer treatment and get the most natural and comfortable results, the model of the teeth should be prepared first. The changes to be made should be shown to the patient on this model and his/her approval should be obtained.

Laminated Tooth Prices

Laminated dental veneer treatment, like other dental procedures, is planned and applied meticulously for each patient. For this reason, there is no standardized price for laminated tooth prices. Laminated tooth prices can be determined after the patient-specific treatment is planned.

On the other hand, how many teeth will be laminated, the scope of the procedure to be applied, the quality of the materials to be used, whether a different tooth or gum treatment will be applied to the patient are decisive on laminated tooth prices. In addition, the price policy of the clinic where the treatment is applied is also one of the factors to be considered when determining laminated tooth prices.

It can be stated that laminated tooth coating prices are higher than alternative dentistry treatments because special materials are used within the scope of laminated tooth coating treatment, laboratory processes are difficult and sensitive, and special technical knowledge and expertise are needed when taking, preparing and applying the impressions of the patient’s teeth.
