WHAT IS LAMINATED COATING?

Porcelain laminate veneers are also known as laminated teeth, leaf porcelain, and nail teeth. They are porcelain leaves that are prepared very thinly in the desired color and form by removing 0.3-0.7 mm of material from the front surface of the teeth and adhered to the tooth surface. Since a very small amount of tooth tissue will be removed, hot and cold sensitivity that may occur in the tooth will remain at a minimum. In fact, in most cases, such sensitivity does not occur. Porcelain is a solid, colorless and abrasion-resistant material. Its color does not change due to factors such as tea, coffee and cigarettes. Therefore, porcelain laminate veneers can be used for many years without changing color or structural changes. Since the chewing surfaces of the teeth are not touched and their natural structure is not damaged, the adaptation period is very short. The patient does not lose the feeling of natural teeth.
