PORCELAIN LAMINATE VENEERS

They are porcelain teeth with a healthy, brilliant tissue, closes to natural teeth, which can even be of 0.5 mm thickness. One of the most attractive sides is that, just a very tiny tissue is removed from the front surface of teeth, and the other is the aesthetical porcelain application, which is the most widespread application nowadays.

 

Smiling is quite important and effective in social relationships. At first encounter, people first look at each other’s eyes, and then at smiles. People with a beautiful smile have a face that always creates a very nice effect on other people.

People who are not pleasant with their smile or the looks of their teeth may achieve healthy teeth and a nice smile, thanks to combined treatments and smile designs performed at clinics. One of these treatments is porcelain laminate veneer.

 

Porcelain laminate veneer is an effective and the most protective method that can be applied to modify the size, color and shape of teeth. They are fixed on the front surface of teeth, to cover bad colors on teeth or modify the shape of teeth, and are resistant to repeated colouring of teeth. They are no thicker than a contact lens, and as tooth surface is very slightly abraded, tooth tissue is preserved, so it is a harmless process. Positively contributes to the image of a person. It’s a painless method, applied routinely in aesthetical works, and patients get their ideal smile upon completion of treatment.

In porcelain veneer applications, analysis of face is very important. We prepare mock-ups, which are prostheses that can be prepared within 10 minutes, to show the planned ultimate image to the client. We send the photographs of the client and the mock-up work to the laboratory. The more aesthetical wax-up work prepared at the laboratory gives us clues on how the completed laminates should be when finished. Also, using photo-shop, we can modify the teeth of client on his/her photo, to desired form and size, and may be instantly shown to given idea. With these three instant planning works, we can see the end-result even before starting laminates.

In tetracycline colorizations, micro damages on enamel, abrasions on the neck of teeth, or increased size of teeth for aesthetical purposes after gum shaping, porcelain laminate veneer application yields very successful results.
