In general, no pain is being witnessed during the procedure. However, in some rare cases, local anesthesia can be required and may be applied to avoid the possibility of pain. 

After the first appointment, temporary teeth are attached in order to protect the prepared structure until the permanent veneers are attached. That’s how tooth sensitivity is avoided and esthetic problems are prevented.

At our dental clinic in Istanbul, our dentist gets the measurements during the first visit. With the help of three-dimensional modeling, a mock-up model is prepared in the laboratory using special materials. The best of this method, the team (dentist, dental clinic team members and the patient) is using a 3D model and makes changes according to the wishes of the patient to decide how the final aesthetic effect should and will look like. So, the final result is foreseen and decided before this cosmetic dental procedure.

After being attached, porcelain veneers will become like a natural part of your teeth. Still, in order to not damage them, try to avoid bad habits such as biting nails and pens, and teeth grinding as well as eating tough and hard meals with your front teeth.

In cases of a missing tooth, big fillings on some teeth, gingival recession, high bruxism (teeth grinding), and big decays we can not make veneers.

People with high levels of fluorosis:  because we need to reduce teeth to a certain level it prevents a strong attachment of the laminate.

In such cases above, patients should prefer e-max crowns for better functions and durability as well as aesthetics.

Due to the fact that there is a large number of bacteria living in the oral cavity, all restoration procedures include and bring an increased risk of tooth decay. By taking care of oral hygiene and keeping teeth and veneers possibly clean, you can increase the lifespan of your laminates and avoid complications. In order to achieve that, do not neglect your routine oral care (toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, and interdental brush) and visit your dental clinic regularly. Laminate veneers are more resistant to staining and erosion and with proper oral care, veneers (their outstanding quality ensures they are more durable) can be used for several years.

Almost everyone can have porcelain veneer and smile design therapy. It can be performed for people of any age who need to have a smile design. The suitability of the patient for this procedure can be determined by the dentist after the examination.

No, veneers do not cause cavities. Veneers are simply and permanently attached to the front of your teeth. On the contrary, veneers protect your teeth from decay as well as cavities.

With proper oral and dental care, laminate veneers can last for many years without any problems. Because they are made from porcelain, which has superior properties compared to other types of adhesive (bonding) systems, laminate veneers are more resistant to staining and erosion. Attention must be paid to oral hygiene and care for longer life. However, patients are advised to steer clear of bad habits such as consuming hard foods and nail-biting.

Because veneer plates look like our natural tooth enamel and are very thin, that’s why they are translucent. So, they do not block the light entirely but allow it to penetrate partially until it reaches the inner opaque dentine surface. That creates a natural and shiny look on your teeth and that makes the smile perfect.

• While laminate veneers are superior to other methods of restoration, however, they are also slightly more expensive.
• The technique is a delicate one, requiring high-quality work from the clinic and laboratory; and also requiring the dentist and the dental technician to possess impeccable expertise, technical knowledge and artistic skills.
