Porcelain veneers are a commonly used treatment method to transform damaged and discolored teeth into a flawless smile. These veneers are made from durable and highly translucent materials designed to give you a striking smile.
What is a Porcelain Laminate?
Porcelain laminates are thin porcelain layers, typically between 0.3 – 0.6 mm thick, applied to the front surface of the teeth.
They are used for:
- Correcting gapped, broken, or misaligned teeth,
- Restoring teeth with deteriorated fillings,
- Replacing lost tooth tissue in worn-down teeth,
- Reshaping teeth,
- Treating severely discolored teeth.
Porcelain laminates are one of the most conservative and modern treatment methods. They are custom-made after taking the patient's dental impressions. These thin veneers are then bonded to the teeth within 1-2 sessions, completing the treatment.
