Prof. Şenel ÇAVUŞOĞLU, Head of Dental Prosthesis Technologies Program, gave information about the importance of laminate veneer crowns in aesthetic dentistry...
Laminate Veneer is a cosmetic solution for many disorders that negatively affect the patient's appearance. It is a form of treatment that aims to eliminate these problems by sticking the layer prepared from porcelain on the anterior teeth, which basically have aesthetic problems in laminate coatings. In most cases, they are sufficient to give the teeth a natural beauty and a natural function with their solid structure and pristine color.
These veneers made of porcelain are a thin, semi-permeable layer. They are prepared and placed on an existing tooth with harmony and precision. The front face of the tooth and the inner face of the veneer are bonded with a special resin (adhesive intermediate). When the process is finished, they are expected to boil. Laminate coatings can basically be made for the purpose of removing color changes and correcting the shape to a certain extent.
Main application areas:
Inherited structure and color disorders in advanced antibiotic, fluorine and similar stains where the teeth whitening method is not sufficient
Closing the gaps (diastema) in the front teeth
In the treatment of fractures caused by impact
Correction of crooked and crooked teeth

Jaw disorders, bad habits such as nail and pen biting are not applied to cases where there is severe gingival damage.
