Porcelain Laminate

Porcelain lamina, also known as leaf porcelain, is used to remove deformities on the tooth surface. Thanks to Lamina; Tooth lengths are equalized, gaps between the teeth, if any, are closed, and at the same time, an aesthetic tooth appearance is obtained.

With leaf porcelain, it is possible to achieve a much brighter, harmonious, permanently white and natural tooth appearance of the teeth. It is an ideal form of treatment for people who do not like their smile and need gum design. In cases where porcelain laminate is not suitable for the person, zirconium coating may also be recommended.

The production of porcelain laminates takes place in a certain process. For the laminates to be fully and smoothly placed on the tooth, the measurements must be taken well. In the dental examination, the enamel tissue of the tooth is removed, and measurements are taken, and the person is told how to design.

After the impression is taken, it is decided what color and form the tooth will be made, and laminates are made in the form closest to the natural tooth of the person.

What are the Differences Between Porcelain Lamina and Classical Lamina?

In the production of classical porcelain teeth, the existing teeth of the person were cut. In order for the tooth to adapt, one's own teeth could suffer serious damage. For this reason, many patients did not want this wear over time.

Porcelain laminates, on the other hand, are much more preferred due to the short duration of the procedure and the fact that they do not cause serious damage to the tooth. At the same time, it is one of the most preferred dental aesthetic procedures because it does not turn yellow or deteriorate over time.

With the development of porcelain laminate technology, you can decide by seeing a one-to-one design before your teeth are intervened, and if we like it, changes can be made. During this process, your teeth will not be harmed. The restoration to be made specifically for your teeth can be easily used for 10-15 years.

Do Porcelain Laminates Break? How to Care?

Laminas are adhered to the teeth with strong adhesives that do not harm the teeth medically. For this reason, a well-maintained lamina will not fall unless there is a severe situation. Small fractures can be repaired with minimal filling procedures. There is no need to completely remove the laminate when making minimal repairs.

Vaneer lamina care is very easy. It is exactly the same care you would normally take for your teeth. Teeth should be brushed regularly, floss and mouthwash should be used. One of the most important issues is to have your dental check-up every 6 months, even if you do not have a laminate.

If you have habits such as clenching or grinding your teeth, you should definitely use a night plate.
