Is it that you desire a picture-perfect smile but have no idea how to get it?

If so, then you’ve come to the right place.

At Mahavir Dental Care, we provide you with many options to improve your smile. One such popular option is inserting laminates and veneers in your teeth. With this procedure, you can get the smile of your dreams.

So, let’s get started and understand more about it.

 

What are Laminates and Veneers?

Laminates and veneers are two of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments. They help you get whiter, straighter, and more uniform teeth.

You must be wondering: what is the difference between the two? Let’s take a closer look at how laminates and veneers differ from each other.

Laminates

Laminates are plastic shells that are the same color as your teeth. They get attached to the front of your teeth. They help fix dental problems like dental chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. Laminates are made up of materials like porcelain and composite resin. They match the color and shape of your natural teeth. They are also a good choice for people with sensitive teeth. That’s because they give an extra layer of protection to natural teeth.

Veneers

Veneers are also thin shells of porcelain glued to the front of your teeth. But unlike laminates, they are more permanent in nature. Veneers are also stronger and less likely to stain than laminates. This makes them a preferred choice for people who want a long-lasting cosmetic change.

Now, let’s have a brief overview of the process of inserting laminates and veneers in your teeth.

The Process

Inserting laminates or veneers is pretty quick and simple. There are no major complications or risks involved in the process.

Let’s understand its process step-by-step.

  • Initial consultation: When you first visit us, our dentist does a primary examination of your teeth. He will understand your aesthetic goals and know your preferences.
  • Preparation: Once you decide to go ahead, we will prepare your teeth for the procedure. Our dentist will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This is so that your laminate or veneer fits properly and retains a natural look.
  • Custom-made laminates or veneers: He will then create a mould of your teeth and send it to a dental lab. Your laminates or veneers will be made based on that mold.
  • Final Fitting: When your custom laminates or veneers are ready, you will have to come back for a final fitting. Our dentist will check how well your laminates or veneers fit and make any changes, if required.
  • Bonding: If you’re satisfied with the fit, our dentist will attach your laminates or veneers to your teeth with the help of a dental adhesive.

That’s it! You’re now ready to take on the world with your new and beautiful smile.

After the procedure, our dentist will give you aftercare guidelines as well. You can be assured of a speedy recovery.

If you still have any questions, don’t hesitate to visit us at Mahavir Dental Care. We will be more than glad to help you, answer your questions, and clear up your doubts.

Laminates and veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to cover chips, cracks, stains, or other cosmetic imperfections.

Laminates and veneers are similar in concept, but the term “laminate” is often used to refer to a type of porcelain veneer that is thinner and requires less removal of tooth structure.

Whether veneers or laminates are better depends on the individual case. Porcelain veneers are usually more durable and can make teeth look more natural, but they may require more tooth structure to be removed. Laminates might be a good choice for small cosmetic changes or when it’s important to keep as much tooth structure as possible.
“Veneer” is often used in prosthodontics to mean a thin layer of material placed over a tooth or dental restoration to make it look better, while “laminate” may be used to refer to a certain type of porcelain veneer. The exact terminology may vary depending on the individual practitioner or region.
