Dental Veneers - Complete Guide to Type, Cost and Procedure

These are significantly narrowed-diameter porcelain ceramics attached to the part of the teeth exposed in a smile. Laminate veneers go by other names such as Leaf Laminate, Leaf Porcelain, and Porcelain Laminate Veneers.

Treating the teeth with laminate veneers typically requires no tooth reduction, but in some cases, the teeth have to be reduced by 0.3 mm to take on the veneers.

Changes in teeth shape, colour and size are suitably brought on by laminate veneers. Other uses are for gaps between teeth and other impairments. Orthodontic procedures take months to years following the type of dental issue, but leaf porcelain treatment is done in 7 to 8 days which makes it a quick treatment for patients. Laminate veneers are made in the lab using dental impressions of the patient.

Veneers and crowns: what makes the difference?

The part of the teeth facing the lips is covered with veneers. Crowns cover the whole teeth from side to side. As for longevity, crowns last a long time; however, tooth preparation will be necessary to have crowns around your teeth. Cosmetic dental patients get veneers, while crowns work for tooth protection from decay.

Am I suitable for veneers?

Having smile problems? Then, you should be able to get veneers. Of course, you can achieve a brighter smile and bigger confidence with veneers. Consider the options before going for dental veneers.

Crowns will be more appropriate for teeth having most of its part missing. Braces are a good initial treatment for misaligned teeth before applying veneers.

If there is tooth decay, periodontitis, or any dental concern, it is compulsorily treated, after which veneers are applied.

The process for placing laminate veneers

As mentioned earlier, smile cosmetics are improved with laminate veneers. We would take you through the whole procedure for getting this treatment done.

Smile Makeover Turkey procedure for installing laminate veneers will require 3 dental appointments.

Your initial appointment is where you meet with a consultant dentist to learn about the treatment and have a mock-up that reveals the final outcome of your treatment. At this time, you may tell your dentist what you expect from the procedure.

At your next appointment, the dentist will prep your teeth and install non-permanent veneers. This is followed by taking dental mould, which is used to make the laminate veneers at the lab - the duration for which is 2 to 3 days.

Your third and final appointment is where your non-temporary, bespoke veneers are installed over your teeth using a fine adhesive cured with UV light. Overall, in 5 to 7 days, your smile gets better with laminate veneers.

What is the lifespan of laminate veneers?

A number of factors can play a role in how long a veneer will last. Laminate veneers are a special treatment. The lab and dental procedures must be spot-on. This means that both the lab technician and dentist should be experienced and highly competent.

Dental hygiene and health are vital. Your veneers will last longer with regular brushing and flossing, plus dental cleaning and checkups two times a year. Your teeth are a tool for opening bottles or packages; avoid this. And don't bite on tough foods such as ice cubes.

Are you into contact sports? Please use a mouthguard, so your veneers don't crack or fracture.

Teeth grinding can release a lot of force that is not good for your veneers. A mouthguard during sleep can be a good treatment for teeth-grinding problem, hence keeping your veneers safe.

Using the best methods and technology to design a veneer will see it last for between 10 to 15 years.

How about pain?

Laminate veneers are a very conservative dental procedure. Because patients have different sensitivity levels, we recommend local injections. However, in most of our procedures, patients don't have any issues because the tooth prep is not under but around the gum. Using the right non-permanent veneers and dental care, there shouldn't be any tender gum tissue or tooth sensitivity.

Will teeth sensitivity come from veneers?

No. If you have sensitive teeth, it is likely caused by enamel reduction during the treatment. However, it will be mild and subside quickly.

Veneer installation: who does it?

An aesthetic dentist. Or a qualified prosthodontist - a specialist dental practitioner for the restoration of real teeth with dental-friendly man-made materials. Becoming a qualified prosthodontist requires a university post-graduate program completion in the field of prosthodontics.

What is a complete set of veneers?

Since it is cosmetic in nature, veneers are often preferred for exposed teeth - typically the upper arch, though it can be done on the lower arch as well.

We look at how much good this treatment can offer for every teeth condition, and should it be that optimum results can come from minor cases for several teeth, we will go with that. By assessing your present smile, we can determine the number of teeth that veneers should be used on.
