What is Porcelain Lamina?
Porcelain laminate, also known as leaf porcelain, is an application that provides solutions to different dental problems that negatively affect the appearance. It is applied to the front teeth, which are especially problematic in terms of aesthetics, by adhering a porcelain laminate sheet specially prepared for the patient. With their very solid structure, natural appearance and unchanging colors, they are one of the most preferred dental applications in terms of aesthetics.

Porcelain Lamina Application Stages
In porcelain laminate applications, we use globally accepted CEREC digital dentistry technologies in our clinic to provide maximum aesthetic appearance to our patients and to perform the application with zero errors.
1- Planning: The dentist examines the patient’s problematic teeth and gum problems and makes a plan, and the patient is informed about which procedures will be performed and their stages.
2- CEREC Technology: The teeth are designed by digitally imaging them through a camera placed in the mouth. This process takes approximately 1 hour on average. The digital measurement precision used in CEREC technology ensures error-free results and the elimination of many intermediate stages, allowing the process to be completed in an average of 1 hour.
3- Cutting and Scraping: A 0.5 mm scraping is made on the patient’s natural tooth surface. Gums are corrected.
4- Bonding Porcelain Laminates: Porcelain leaves designed thanks to CEREC technology, where we get the most suitable and aesthetic results, are bonded to natural teeth.

Laminate coating process takes at least two sessions. It is not possible to say the length of a specific session as this may vary depending on the condition of the teeth and the number of veneers to be prepared and added.
Due to the large number of bacteria living in the oral cavity, all restoration procedures increase the risk of tooth decay. By paying attention to oral hygiene and keeping your teeth and veneers clean, you can extend the life of your laminates and prevent complications. To achieve this, be sure to follow your routine oral care (toothpaste, toothbrush, dental floss, and interdental brush) and visit your dentist’s office.
