Porcelain Lamina Teeth

What Are Lamina Teeth?

Porcelain laminate teeth are aesthetic restorations that are applied with minimal cutting on the tooth surface of the patients or without touching the tooth surface. Since the operations are performed on the enamel surface, they do not cause any sensitivity. Since the thickness of porcelain is very thin (0.3-0.7 mm), a result very close to nature is obtained.

Who Can Have Lamina Teeth?

Lamina teeth can be applied to teeth that have irregularities on the tooth surface, are over-colored, cannot reach the desired color with whitening, have gaps between the teeth, and are heavily worn.

What are the Advantages of Lamina Application?

Porcelain laminate teeth are very thin porcelains that can be made with little or no touching of the teeth. Since their thickness is very thin, they combine with the color of the underlying tooth to give a very natural appearance, very close to natural teeth. Their preparation and oral administration is carried out within 1 week-10 days. During the preliminary preparation stage, a preliminary assessment of the appearance of the lamina can be made with a design called mock-up after the treatment. Since the surface of porcelain laminates is smooth and polished very well, they are not affected by external factors (cigarette, tea, coffee). Since porcelain laminates have high durability, they do not wear easily.
