One of the most important areas of cosmetic dentistry is the aesthetic appearance of laminates. Laminate veneers offer a very advantageous solution in today's world. Of course, if performed under the supervision of a dentist and with appropriate planning, it's safe to say they're quite healthy. Porcelain veneers allow sunlight to pass through easily, providing a more natural appearance than other types of dentures.
The patient's preferences are determined by a consultation with the technical team, and the color to be used is determined. The patient is informed about the desired dimensions before the procedure, and the procedure is carried out after the patient's consent is given. How is the porcelain veneer procedure, which is considered an extremely delicate procedure, performed? Here are the details!
How is the Porcelain Veneer Procedure Performed?
People who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth consult a dentist and are told that they can have laminates placed, their teeth can be further abraded, shaped, and veneered, or their teeth can be straightened with orthodontic treatment. A differential diagnosis is made, and after the examination, these options are discussed. Their opinions are then sought, and a joint treatment plan is developed. After the patient expresses their desire for veneers, if the patient desires them, an impression is taken and a plaster model is obtained. A technical team then performs measurements. Following the measurement, consideration is given to what type of veneer is suitable for this patient, what thickness of veneer should be used, which tooth should be moved forward and which back. When the chewing system is checked, there is a risk of fracture, and what should be done if there is a risk of fracture.
The evaluation results are presented to the patient. The model is shown to them and transferred to the patient's mouth using various methods. A transparent mold is created to abrade and add to various areas. Once this transparent mold is placed in the patient's mouth, it is cured with light and removed so the patient can see the exact finished image. If the patient is not satisfied, corrections are made. Porcelain laminates require a preparation phase of approximately 2-3 weeks.
After the preparation phase, a 0.3 to 0.7 mm layer of material is removed from the tooth, and the porcelain laminates are placed on top. Porcelain veneers are aesthetically shaped and bonded to the teeth according to your expectations. Patients are provided with services tailored to the desired color and shape, tailored to the individual and teeth. So, who can have laminate veneers?

There is no specific age limit for this procedure. It can be performed at any time, provided the patient's bone and dental health permit. However, it is not recommended for children under 18 unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes, patients are not entirely satisfied with the appearance of their teeth.
For those who are unhappy with the shape of their teeth, such as crooked, broken, yellowed, or stained teeth, or if the patient's teeth appear dark when smiling, or if there is darkness in the area of the cheeks known as the "black corridor," veneers are recommended in these cases, or they can apply for one themselves. These veneers can be used as healthy as your own teeth. The only precautions are to avoid biting on nuts, pencils, and proper brushing.
