Laminates & Veneers

veneers

Dental laminates, also known as veneers, are used to cosmetically enhance the appearance of the teeth. They are very thin porcelain shells that are customized for a desirable color and shape. They are bonded to the surface of the teeth to reshape broken, misshapen or irregular teeth, as well as provide a solution for discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening treatments. Patients with veneers typically achieve a natural tooth appearance that is well-tolerated by the gums and also resistant to future stains.

 

Dental veneers are applied if the patient;

​

  • has teeth that are broken, chipped, irregularly shaped, or misaligned. 

  • will not be satisfied with whitening treatment for her/his discolored teeth 

  • is looking for an alternative to crowns and caps. 

  • has gaps between the teeth.

Laminate Veneers Treatment Process

 

Before dental veneers are placed on the teeth, the surface of the teeth must be prepared for bonding. After administering a local anesthetic, your dentist will buff away approximately half a millimeter from the surface of the teeth. You’ll then bite into a mold that will be used to form your veneers. You can choose the color of your new teeth with the help of your dentist. When the veneers are ready, you’ll come to the clinic again to have them fitted, bonded, and adjusted for shape.

Post-treatment Care Instructions

​

There is no special care required for dental veneers, and normal brushing and flossing can be resumed immediately. Because veneers are usually placed over the course of two appointments, it is normal to experience some sensitivity between the first and second visit when the teeth have been reduced in preparation for bonding.
