Lamina porcelain veneer, also known as leaf porcelain, is porcelain tooth designs that eliminate aesthetic appearance concerns, are specially prepared according to the breakage and deformation of the teeth and are adhered to the front surfaces of the teeth. Lamina veneer, which is applied without any abrasion on the teeth, is a thin, semi-permeable layer while providing perfect fit and sensitivity. Porcelain laminates, which are close to the appearance of teeth, are very durable and do not break easily even though they have a thin structure. With lamina porcelain coating, which is preferred because it is the method in which the healthy tooth tissue is lost the least, the lost tooth tissues are regained.
Why Lamina Porcelain Veneer Should Be Made?
Depending on age and oral care, teeth lose their color and durability. Teeth that weaken over time can wear down and break. In these cases, the lost teeth can be regained with the help of aesthetic dentistry. At the same time, people with aesthetic concerns may want their teeth to have a pleasing form. Again, at this stage, lamina tooth veneer or full ceramic veneer options can help. Porcelain dental veneers should be made to eliminate deformities, correct slightly crooked teeth, eliminate color mismatches, align front teeth and eliminate other aesthetic and functional disorders.
