What are laminate veneers?
Laminate veneers are very thin covers that are created to fit over the front of teeth and are made of porcelain. They make teeth appear better by hiding problems including discoloration, irregular shape, or minor alignment issues. Installing laminate veneers is one cosmetic dental procedure that might result in a more aesthetically pleasing smile design.
Laminate veneer procedure in Antalya
Patients coming to Antalya for laminate veneers first have a consultation with the dentist. During this consultation, the dentist creates a treatment plan. The front surfaces of the teeth are then prepared for laminate veneers. Between 0.1 and 0.3 mm of tooth enamel is removed without causing any pain or discomfort. This allows the veneers to adhere more firmly to the tooth surface and look more aesthetic. The patient’s teeth are now ready for impressions to be taken. The impressions are sent to the laboratory, and temporary veneers are placed to protect the patient from sensitivity and discomfort. Once laminate veneers are ready, the temporary veneers are removed, and cement is applied to the tooth surfaces. (This special adhesive ensures that veneers bond well and remain in place for many years.) The veneers are placed. The patient examines them, and any desired changes are made. Once everything is ready, the polishing process is carried out. Our patient achieves a new and natural smile at Lisa Smile Studio.
How to take care of laminate veneers
Do.
To maintain laminate veneers for many years with a healthy appearance, regular oral care is essential. Patients should brush their teeth twice daily using a soft toothbrush. They should then thoroughly clean around veneers using dental floss or a water flosser. They should visit the dentist once a year for a check-up and have polishing done if necessary. Daily oral hygiene directly affects the lifespan of laminate veneers. Poor oral hygiene can lead to unpleasant consequences such as bad breath and gum recession after veneer placement.
Don't.
Laminate veneers are the thinnest and most delicate type of veneer treatment. For this reason, avoid biting into hard substances such as nutshells. Laminate veneers are resistant to discolouration, but coloured beverages such as coffee and wine can cause the veneer colour to change over many years. Acidic drinks can erode veneer surface, making it more sensitive. Sticky snacks such as chewing gum can cause veneer to come off by applying excessive force to it.
What are the pros and cons of laminate veneers?

They are also more affordable than other veneer options such as Emax veneers. Thanks to their wide colour range, it is easy to select a shade that matches the patient’s natural teeth.

What is the 4-8-10 rule for veneers?
When having laminate dental veneers fitted, it is necessary to follow 4-8-10 rule. This rule indicates the number of teeth that should be veneered for each smile design. According to 4 rule, the two central incisors and the lateral incisors on either side are veneered. 8 rule is suitable for people with a broad smile and moderate tooth damage. Again, starting from the centre and continuing to the right and left, it covers four teeth on each side. In other words, veneers are applied to a total of 8 teeth, including the canine teeth. 10 rule includes the premolars and is suitable for people with a very wide smile. It covers the front 10 teeth. The purpose of applying this rule is to ensure a natural tooth appearance after veneers or a Hollywood Smile Antalya. At the same time, by being more conservative, healthy teeth are protected from unnecessary procedures.
Why do dentists advise against veneers?
Laminate veneers are preferred as a solution to certain aesthetic and dental health problems. However, if the patient has issues such as gum disease or periodontal disease, they must first resolve or control this problem. If the patient has underlying dental health issues such as infection or tooth decay, the dentist will treat these first. Then, the dentist applies the veneers. This ensures that Antalya laminate veneers last longer. Some patients may wish to have veneers applied to perfectly healthy teeth simply because they are concerned about the alignment of their teeth. In this case, patients can be treated comfortably with Invisalign treatment.
