Laminate veneers are made with porcelain material. These ultra-thin veneers cover damaged or discoloured tooth surfaces and require only minimal tooth surface removal before placement.
The thin veneer allows high light transmittance, making it similar to the natural tooth surface. Laminate veneers give an aesthetic and natural appearance while ensuring minimum loss of the existing tooth structure.
Our laminate veneer specialist will ensure your laminate veneers is well-placed to restore your natural smile at an affordable cost.
A laminate veneer is a common dental restoration for a smile design because its thickness is between 0.1 – 0.4mm and gives an aesthetically appealing result. Laminate veneers are also known as leaf porcelain. Although laminate veneers are thin, they are strong and durable, with aesthetic properties.
Fitting laminate veneers may only require rubbing the tooth surface without an abrasive material. Laminate materials are usually preferred for different dental treatments. You can get laminate veneer or leaf porcelain during your smile design procedure.
People with gaps between their teeth, protrusions resulting from demineralisation in the front teeth and slightly misaligned teeth can correct these issues quickly.
Before laminate veneer treatment, the dentist will want to know your desired result and the dental issue you want to correct. During your consultation, the dentist will examine your mouth and take photos, then perform an x-ray.
The assessment will give vital information for planning your treatment. Some people need teeth whitening, inlays and onlays or professional dental cleaning.
After assessing your dental health and determining the necessary treatments, the dentist will take your mouth measurements and send them to the lab for the technician to make your laminate veneers. You will have a mockup, a silicone model of your teeth on wax plaster to see the final result of your treatment.
At your next appointment, the dentist will create temporary materials on the silicone model, and you will see the final state of your teeth. Your dentist will take photos of your teeth and show you if you want to proceed with the treatment. You will have the temporary teeth on until your next appointment when the permanent laminate veneer is available. This should be after 3 – 4 days.
Laminate veneers do not require removing much of the enamel. This veneer option aims to give long-lasting and functional teeth without losing the existing tooth structure. Laminate veneers will give you aesthetic results with minimal teeth damage.

The cost of laminate veneers varies, depending on many factors. However, laminate veneers in Turkey are less expensive than in European countries, and you can save up to 80% if you get laminate veneers in Turkey.
A laminate veneer is a thin sheet or porcelain without a metal core, which fits on the tooth's front surface. The fitting process requires rubbing the front tooth surface and applying an adhesive to hold it in place, but in some cases, no tooth surface abrasion is necessary. However, the dentist will remove about 40% of the tooth surface with zirconium crowns before fitting the restoration.
We usually recommend laminate veneers for front teeth restoration because laminate is more aesthetic than zirconium veneers. Zirconium crowns are better suited for the back teeth because zirconium is more resistant to fracture and pressure than laminate veneers. Zirconium crowns may be a better option if the natural tooth structure has worn down.
