Laminate Tooth

It is a popular dental treatment applied to replace yellowed and deformed teeth. This treatment, which is done by cutting and thinning the main tooth, is very important both visually and in terms of oral health. Laminate Tooth treatment, which is the most commonly applied in aesthetic dentistry, achieves extremely beautiful results. Most patients with crooked teeth prefer this method. In Turkey, Dental Coatings are one of the most frequently used treatment methods. Since laminated teeth are applied in a thin layer, they do not create a rough appearance on the teeth and become compatible with the mouth and teeth. It is also an advantage for patients to apply them in a short time. During the treatment, very little tissue is removed from the tooth without damaging the gums. In this sense, laminated teeth application is a very protective treatment method. In some cases, it is applied without any abrasion on the tooth. Laminated teeth, also known as leaf porcelain coating, are one of the most preferred dental applications today. Due to its thin appearance and fragile structure, it is as sensitive as a leaf. However, this is only an image. When applied to the tooth, it has a very durable and solid structure. Laminated teeth coating, which is especially preferred by those who care about their visuals, gives very successful results when applied by successful doctors. It is preferred because it does not damage the tooth; it is aesthetic and long-lasting.

How is Laminated Teeth Applied?

You may need to visit your dentist several times to have laminated teeth. The first appointment is for consultation. After the clinical examination, you will exchange ideas with the dentist and discuss your requests and the smile aesthetics you are aiming for in detail during this appointment. You should clearly state the color, size and shape of the teeth you want to have. You can even bring a photo of a smile you like as an example to your first appointment. In Turkey, your dentist may need to record your smile, intraoral photos and a short video of your smile so that he can make a special aesthetic assessment for you. Then, you can talk to your dentist about whether laminate dental treatment is the right treatment for you, what the procedure involves and whether it has any limitations. Data is created by creating x-rays of teeth whose health is questionable. This data allows you to take your dental measurements and transfer them to the model, examine your oral structure in 3D and examine how the planned treatment will be carried out more clearly. Your other two appointments are for the preparation and bonding of the laminate dental veneer. The following steps are applied for laminate dental treatment:

First, mouth and face photos are taken and dental models are prepared. A sample model study is carried out by taking into account the patient's expectations.
The prepared model is tried on the patient and the necessary arrangements are made to decide on the shape of the tooth.
If necessary, some enamel tissue is removed from the front surface of the tooth or, in some cases, measurements are taken of the surface of the teeth without any procedure.
The tooth color is selected.
Special ceramic coatings suitable for the previously prepared model are prepared in the laboratory.
The coatings are checked in terms of the harmony, color, shape and features of the teeth and gums in the mouth.
