Dental

Any layer that is placed only to the outer surface of the teeth permanently is called dental laminate in cosmetic dentistry. Dental laminate is used for people who have irregular, discolored, and broken teeth. The porcelain veneers are also used for filling the gap between the teeth and enhancing the smile. Dental laminate is a thin layer that can cover the surface of the teeth and improve their appearance. It is not recommended for people with gum and jaw problems. Orthodontic treatment is advised for them to enhance their facial beauty. On the other hand, people with infectious gums or severe tooth decay cannot use dental veneers.

Different Types of Dental Laminate Veneer

There are two types of dental veneers: ceramic and composite veneer. The main difference between ceramic and composite is their material and the quality of them. The ceramic veneer is more color resistance than composite, and since it has more strength, it is more durable than composite. The beautiful appearance of the ceramic veneer can also be a definite advantage for this type of laminate. Although the color resistance and strength of the composite veneer are less than ceramics, it needs less tooth shaving and is cheaper than a ceramic veneer.

Smile Design Correction

A ceramic and composite veneer can be used to correct the smile design and to enhance the smile. In the past, teeth were shaved by half to one millimeter to correct the smile design using laminate veneer. But for composite veneer, there is no need for tooth shaving in smile design correction, although tooth shaving, even slightly, is required to achieve the ideal condition. Both types of veneers do not affect preventing tooth decay, and laminated teeth are prone to decay, just like the natural teeth. You should know that veneers, either composite or ceramic, cannot cause tooth decay.
