What is Porcelain Lamina Teeth?
Porcelain laminate teeth, also called porcelain laminate, laminated teeth, leaf porcelain, leaf teeth, porcelain laminate veneers, are the most preferred aesthetic dentistry applications. Porcelain laminates are very thin porcelain veneers that can be applied especially to anterior teeth for aesthetic purposes. Due to its thinness, it can also be called leaf tooth or leaf porcelain among the people.
The basis of the treatment is to remove only a small amount of material from the front surfaces of the teeth and to cover them with perfectly color and texture compatible aesthetic teeth by applying laminate porcelain (laminate veneer) coatings.
For Whom Porcelain Lamina Teeth Are Made?
Although porcelain laminates are dental treatments for aesthetic purposes, it is not possible to apply to every person who wants aesthetic dental treatment. We can summarize the situations in which porcelain laminate treatment can be performed as follows.
1- In the presence of discolorations (in stainings where the desired whiteness cannot or will not be achieved despite whitening. Particularly, fluorosis, cases of darkening of tooth color due to aging, discolorations after endodontic treatment, antibiotic staining, hypocalcification, tetracycline staining, etc.),
2-In the presence of spaced (diestema) teeth,
3- In case of mild crooked teeth and curvatures that do not require orthodontic treatment,
Especially if you are not satisfied with your teeth that have turned yellow over time and have decreased in size due to age, and if you want to have a young appearance,
4- In case of loss of material caused by reasons such as fractures and caries in the anterior teeth,
laminate dental treatment can be applied. However, porcelain lamina is not applied to those under the age of 18, those with jaw disorders, those who have bad habits such as nail biting, pencil biting, or those with severe gingival recession.
What are the Advantages of Porcelain Laminates?
- Porcelain lamina veneers have more aesthetic properties than other treatment options. In cases where the individual cannot smile confidently due to bruises, fractures, age-related wear or structural defects, a natural smile is achieved with laminate application.
- Since porcelain is prepared in a very thin layer, its light transmission and reflection are very close to natural teeth. Therefore, it gives an excellent aesthetic appearance.
- It is sufficient to open a slot in the tooth as wide as a nail.
- There is no need to reduce the teeth more than necessary. The natural structure of the teeth is not deteriorated, the tooth tissue is preserved at the maximum level.
- The clinical study time is short, it reduces the stress of the patients and saves time.
- It has high resistance to abrasion.
- Its adhesion after bonding is good.
- There is no need for anesthesia as the preparation contains enamel level or very little dentin.
- Since the porcelain surfaces will be extremely smooth, it minimizes the stains and tartar formations caused by cigarette, cola, coffee and similar reasons.
- It is produced from durable, colorless and high-strength material.
- It may be possible for you to see the finished laminate tooth application and decide accordingly, without any intervention on your teeth, through pre-prepared models of your mouth or with computer programs suitable for the purpose thanks to digital dentistry technologies.
