Because Laminate Veneer is very thin and does not contain metals, it gives satisfactory results with a quality that cannot be distinguished from real teeth.

The procedure is very simple and takes very little time. First, measurements are taken from the patient. And a sample model study is done in the laboratory.

The patient sees the end results on this model before the teeth are cut. The teeth are then prepared with a painless procedure. After the main impression is taken, the temporary veneer is attached. Thus, the teeth are protected from external influences.

A final model is created in the laboratory according to the determined size and porcelain laminates are prepared. It is then bonded to the teeth with a special technique and a material called adhesive resin. As a result of this bonding process, it is not possible to separate the laminate from the tooth, so it is very resistant to breakage.

Appropriate bonding and use of porcelain in porcelain laminates and completion of the procedure by specialist dentists are extremely important factors determining how long the procedure will last. Aside from these, with good oral care by the patiens, it can remain just as it is on the first day of use for many years.

With this system we call mock up, it is possible to predict the result with a plastic material. The patient gets information about the results beforehand. A design is created by considering the requests. This way, the final shape of the teeth is decided.
