Aesthetic Dental Treatments

In Which Situations are Porcelain Laminates Applied?

• Closing the gaps in the front teeth to a certain extent,
• Restoration of broken or worn teeth,
• To increase the length of the teeth,
• In extremely dark teeth where the teeth whitening method is not sufficient,
• In cases where the front teeth are decayed,
• In teeth with bad structural form and shape,
• In crooked teeth,
• In the correction of old fillings whose color and structure have deteriorated,
• In teeth that are not satisfied with the tooth form,
• In hereditary structure disorders.

Situations, where lamina porcelain applications will be made, are determined after the first examination. It is aimed to get the best results with personalized designs.

Since lamina porcelain dental treatment will pose a danger in the future:

• For people who clenched their teeth while sleeping at night, first of all, clenching treatment should be applied.
• Advanced surgical and orthodontic treatments are required for people with jaw disorders.
• Nail biting, pen biting etc. in individuals with bad habits,
  
• For people with advanced gingival recession, these conditions are not applied without treatment.
• Orthodontic treatment should be our primary treatment option for teeth with severe crowding.
• If porcelain tooth crowning is applied to people with these disorders, the crownings will be damaged and their dental health will worsen.

How are Lamina Porcelain Veneers Made? What are the Treatment Stages?

Lamina dental veneer treatment, which is adapted to the tooth in a short time, first starts with taking intraoral measurements. With the extracted models, a test application called wax-up is performed in the laboratory. The process of transferring these teeth made on the model to the patient’s mouth by temporary means is called a mock-up. After the doctor and the patient decide on the extracted model, the teeth are prepared for the procedure. Laminated porcelain teeth are bonded with a special application.

Disadvantages of Porcelain Laminate
The disadvantage of laminate porcelain veneer applications is that they are costly. Since it is made with e-max materials imported from abroad, treatment fees may be high. Laminated veneers, which are one of the sensitive dentistry applications, require a good laboratory stage. Small mistakes made will cause high-cost lamina tooth crowning applications to be thrown away.

Lamina Porcelain Veneer Treatment Time
If you do not need treatment or an aesthetic intervention on your gums, you can start using your laminated teeth in 2-3 sessions. With the porcelain veneer that lasts for about 2 weeks, you will get your natural tooth appearance. This period may be longer if your teeth need to be corrected or treated. Depending on your other aesthetic dentistry needs, your treatment time may vary.

How Long are Porcelain Laminates Used?
Porcelain laminates are resistant to impacts thanks to the technology they are developed for. You can use your unbreakable and non-falling laminated teeth for 10 to 20 years, if you pay attention to your oral health. However, if you do not clean your teeth as they should and do not pay attention to your oral health, your lamina will be damaged as well as your natural teeth. So realistically, the life of your laminates depends on your oral hygiene.

2. Zirconium Veneers

Zirconium infrastructure is a white metal found in nature and used as an infrastructure in the dental sector. Today, with increased aesthetics, we can also use it as monolithic zirconia.
Zirconia is used in full crowns, implant crowns, and bridge construction.
Since the light transmittance of zirconia is less than full ceramic systems, it is not possible to make it very thin and it is very difficult to stick with especially adhesive systems, it cannot be used in laminate production.

3. Bonding Treatment (Composite Lamina)

Bonding treatment is an alternative to porcelain laminate veneer. Compared to porcelain laminate, it is completed in a faster time and is a cheaper treatment. It is an aesthetically weaker but acceptable alternative to porcelain laminate.
In some cases, it may even have superior properties to porcelain lamina. Composite lamina can be offered as a much better alternative, especially in young patients who are not ready to take on the responsibility of having a porcelain lamina, in case of minor problems for porcelain lamina or when a long-term, temporary, reversible aesthetic change is planned and in line with your budget.
