Laminated veneer is a type of veneer also known as porcelain dental veneer. Thanks to laminated dental veneers, problems such as functional disorders and appearance problems caused by deformations in the teeth can be eliminated. The biggest difference of laminated veneer from other types of dental veneers is that it is applied without abrasion or with very little abrasion on the teeth. Therefore, laminated veneers offer a very safe and painless tooth coating. Laminated veneer, which offers a natural-looking tooth coating, is recommended by many dentists.
What are the Types of Laminated Veneer?
Composite Laminated Veneer
Composite laminate veneer is a type of aesthetic dental veneer preferred in many cases. Composite laminated veneer is divided into 3 types as direct, indirect and prefabricated composite veener. Direct composite laminated veneer is also known as composite laminated veener. Composite resin material is used in this type of coating. Thanks to the composite resin material, the veneer can be applied in a single session just like a filling procedure. In addition, direct composite laminated veneer is also included in the scope of dental aesthetics. The thin structure of the direct composite laminated veneer and its application directly to the tooth helps to easily achieve the aesthetic appearance that the patient wants to achieve.
Indirect composite laminated veneer is a direct composite laminated veneer prepared in a laboratory environment. Thanks to indirect composite laminated veneer, the veneer material is prepared in the laboratory environment for the dental appearance and dental needs that the individual wants to achieve. In this way, a much more robust and aesthetic-looking veneer material can be created. Prefabricated composite laminated veneer is a type of veneer prepared in standard sizes, as the name suggests. This veneer can be very useful for individuals who want to make a dental veneer quickly. However, the fact that the veneer is made using standard measurements causes it not to respond to the needs in extreme situations such as tooth fractures.

How is a Laminated Veneer Made?
Inspection and Interview for Coatings
Before any dental treatment, including laminated veneers, the dentist and the individual should have a comprehensive interview. Especially for applications within dental aesthetics such as laminated dental veneers, it is very important to make a preliminary interview so that the results to be obtained after the application can satisfy the individual. The dentist takes an anamnesis during this interview.
Thanks to the anamnesis, the dentist has information about things such as dental diseases that the individual has had before. In addition, the dentist also asks what kind of result the patient expects from the application. Explaining the dental appearance that the patient wants to achieve in an understandable way is one of the factors that are very important in terms of getting full efficiency from the application.
After the dentist and the patient have a comprehensive interview, the examination phase begins.
During the examination phase, the dentist examines the patient’s oral structure and teeth. In addition, he/she may request a dental x-ray if deemed necessary. Thanks to the dentist’s observations and x-ray images, it is clear that the patient does not have any dental disease and a veneer suitable for the tooth structure can be made.
Cleaning and Taking Measurements
Before any dental crown, including laminated veneers, a cleaning and impression must be taken. Dental cleaning can be done with methods such as mouthwash. In addition, in some cases, it may be necessary to clean caries. After the teeth are cleaned, impressions are taken. If necessary, tooth abrasion can also be performed during the impression taking process. However, the abrasion process for laminated dental veneers is not as challenging and comprehensive as other types of veneers. In this way, thin dental veneers can be made by making too much abrasion on the tooth and preserving the natural structure of the tooth. If the individual feels any sensitivity as a result of the abrasion process, a temporary ready-made veneer can be attached to the individual’s tooth to prevent this.
Application of the Veneer
The most important stage of laminated dental veneers is the application of the veneer. At this stage, the veneer prepared in the laboratory environment in line with the measurements taken or obtained by working on the person’s tooth is adhered to the tooth or teeth. Special adhesives used in the field of dentistry are used to bond the veneer to the tooth. Special adhesives used in the field of dentistry prevent the veneer from coming off and falling off the tooth unless there is an extreme situation.
Is Zirconium Veneer or Laminated Veneer Better?
In addition, zirconium veneers and laminated veneers are generally suitable for patient profiles whose needs and wishes are different from each other. Therefore, when choosing between zirconium and laminated dental veneers, you should pay attention to the features of these veneers and whether these features are suitable for you.
Laminated veneer is a type of veneer that is generally used on the front surface of the teeth and solves the problems of slight roughness or discoloration. Although zirconium veneers can also be used in the field of dental aesthetics , they are generally used to restore the function of the tooth. While laminated veneers are applied to the teeth one by one, zirconium veneers are designed to hold more than one tooth at the same time as a bridge. Therefore, zirconium veneers can appeal to people who want more than one tooth to regain its function and look aesthetic. Laminated veneers can be ideal for individuals who want to achieve a white, smooth and natural appearance on the surfaces of their teeth without loss of function.

What Should Be Considered Before and After Laminated Veneers?
The things to be considered before and after laminated veneers are very important in order not to jeopardize the dental health of the individual due to the application and to obtain the highest efficiency. Before laminated veneers, applications that may cause gum sensitivity such as tooth whitening should be performed. In addition, if there is any dental disease before the application, this disease should be treated and the application should be started after the treatment process is completed.
One of the things to be considered both before and after the laminated veneer application is not to smoke and drink alcohol. Since smoking and alcohol use jeopardizes oral health, it can prevent getting high efficiency from laminated veener dental veneers. In addition, no matter how long it takes after the laminated veener application, very hard foods should not be chewed on the coated tooth. Very hard foods can cause the laminated veneer, which has a very thin structure, to break or crack during the chewing process. Cracks and fractures can cause the laminated coating to separate from the tooth.
