In dentistry, a laminate veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. They are finely developed ceramic applications applied to the tooth surface in aesthetic dentistry. Laminate veneer applications, which can change both the shape and color of the tooth by making a minimum abrasion only on the visible part, instead of cutting the entire tooth and coating it, is one of the most used methods in aesthetic dentistry.

In which cases is laminate treatment applied?

Laminate coatings can be made primarily for the purpose of removing color changes and correcting the shape to a certain extent. The main application areas can be summarized as follows:

1. In cases of advanced discoloration that cannot be achieved with tooth whitening treatment, the desired color can be obtained with laminate.
2. Eliminating gaps between teeth (diastema closure),
3. Restoration of broken or worn teeth
4. Replacement of old fillings that are discolored or destructed
5. Correction of crooked teeth as an alternative to orthodontic treatment.
