A laminate veneer is made from full porcelain and is a new front surface for a tooth. They make long lasting changes to the smile and the strength and appearance rivals that of natural teeth.
Laminate veneers are extremely versatile and can be used to align crowded or protruding teeth, lighten tooth colour, close gaps and can be used as an alternative for orthodontic treatment.

The best thing about Laminate veneers is, that they can be placed on your teeth in only two-three visits. Laminates are quick, painless and dramatic.

The procedure consists of

• First shaving a thin layer of outer tooth structure (about the same thickness of an eggshell).

• An impression is then taken of the prepared teeth and is sent to our dental laboratory.

• In the laboratory our ceramist will make a very thin porcelain facing (similar to a false nail).

• The second visit consists of the laminate veneers being bonded to the prepared teeth. The bonding material is applied with a white light gun. This bonding material acts as an adhesive for the laminates.

Porcelain laminates are the most popular aesthetic dental technique and make a dramatic change to your smile.
