In my practice as a dentist, I particularly advise my patients on laminate veneers due to the following advantages. People mainly select them for cosmetic reasons, since veneers mask the stains or discoloration of teeth, giving an individual a brighter and more uniform set of teeth. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373543199_Ceramic_partial_laminate_veneers_in_anterior_teeth_A_literature_review

They also assist in fixing damaged teeth or teeth that have been cracked or broken naturally. Veneers are great for fixing spaces between teeth and slight misalignments, for straight and aligned teeth without having to endure wearing braces. Veneers are thin porcelain laminates bonded to the teeth, resistant to stains from foods, beverages, and smoking, and guarantee long-lasting brightness. It is a conservative technique where only a thin layer of the tooth’s enamel is removed and it is fast – the process usually takes two to three appointments. According to the patients, the veneers give a natural look and do not wear out quickly because they have a similar ability to reflect light as natural teeth.

Who is a good candidate for laminate veneers in Turkey?

General candidates for laminate veneers are as shown below:

• People who want a cosmetic dental solution for an optimum appearance and durability.
• If the patient has stained teeth or teeth lost their natural whiteness
• People who require a more white and evenly aligned smile need veneers.
• Any person in good general health can undergo the procedure.
• They can be recommended for individuals who would like a fast solution and require a simple treatment plan.
• If you are an individual who wants to have the gaps between the teeth closed, then veneers are very useful.
• People with small misalignments who do not wish to wear braces should consider veneers as a solution.
• This procedure is ideal for improving the contour of the teeth that are flat or have become rounded due to erosion.
• Patients with cracked, damaged, or uneven teeth stand to benefit a lot from this procedure.
• Veneers are suitable for those who desire a proper and appealing shade of teeth.
• Some of the patients who select veneers include those patients who wish to have a better smile without undergoing complicated dental procedures.

Laminate veneers procedure

Initial Consultation:

Your dentist will determine the purpose of veneers in your case, if there are any, review your goals, and conduct a check up to evaluate the state of your teeth.

Teeth Preparation:

The dentist will shave a thin layer of the enamel on the front part of the teeth in preparation for veneers.

Impressions:

Molds of your teeth are then made based on the impressions made on them. These impressions are taken to a dental lab to have the customized veneers prepared.

Temporary Veneers:

While your permanent veneers are to be prepared temporary veneers are placed on the teeth.

Veneer Fabrication:

In the dental lab, your veneers are then individually hand-made by skilled technicians from porcelain of the highest standard and in the exact shape and shade to match your natural teeth.

Fitting and Adjustments:

When the veneers are manufactured, the dentist tries them on your teeth to ensure a proper fitting that conforms exactly to your mouth's comfort and aesthetic expectations.

Bonding:

Subsequently, the dentist polishes your teeth and uses a particular cement to join the veneers to the tooth. A curing light is applied in two ways; to cure the adhesive and the other to fix the veneers in place.

Final Touches:

The dentist then shapes the veneers as well as polishes them with précisions to fit the gaps in the teeth and give an ashen look. Your bite is then adjusted to ensure it is comfortable.

Post-Procedure Instructions:

Your dentist educates you on how to maintain the veneers so that they should not wear out fast and sets you up for a check-up to determine their status.

What should I do after the laminate veneer procedure?

After having laminate veneers, patients should take proper care to ensure that they do not develop cavities and other gum-related diseases through proper brushing and flossing. Do not crunch on candies, ice, pens, or nails as this action could wear down or chip the veneers. Go for dental appointments for check-ups and for cleaning to have the condition of veneers and the general health of your mouth assessed. Be careful about foods and beverages that may cause staining such as coffee, and tea to prolong the beauty of veneers. To prevent scratching the tooth surface of the veneers, do not use a hard-bristled toothbrush or harsh toothpaste. If you are a teeth grinder or clench your teeth at night, you should wear a night guard while sleeping to avoid damaging the veneers. Finally, heed any advice that your dental surgeon gives you concerning the durability of the new dental work.

Is the laminate veneer procedure painful?

No, the laminate veneer procedure is not a painful process for most of the patients going through the procedure.

After a while, there is mild pain or discomfort, and things such as hot temperatures and cold air might be sensitive. This discomfort is relieved by using simple analgesics such as ibuprofen or Tylenol. If your pain is severe or lasts longer than three days, please call the dentist for assistance. Cold compresses or ice packs are effective in alleviating swelling (If happens) and pain. Be careful not to let your head rest at a level lower than the heart as this means more swelling and pains.
