Dental laminates are tooth shells that are attached to the surface of a tooth

Dental laminates can be used to correct the appearance of defects or imperfections in the teeth. These can be, for example, congenital malformations of the teeth or tooth enamel, as well as enamel damage. In addition, dental laminates repair worn or otherwise damaged teeth.

Dental laminates are usually made of reinforced glass ceramic or porcelain. The ceramic material adheres well to the tooth surface and withstands bite stress well. The ceramic material is also aesthetically beautiful and natural. Ceramic material is a great choice when the goal is a durable and natural end result.

In addition to the ceramic material, dental laminates can be made of composite plastic. Composite plastics are most commonly used in other patch treatments, such as smaller dental patches. In addition, composite plastic repairs tooth wear and splits. Composite plastic as a material is a slightly cheaper option than porcelain.

Installation of dental laminates

First a dentist takes photos of the teeth's initial condition and takes impressions of the teeth using plaster models. These allow the dentist to design temporary laminates as well as the appearance of the permanent dental laminates. After this, the teeth are still thoroughly cleaned, for example, for discoloration, and the teeth are filed the required amount, about 0.5-2.0 mm. Impressions of the filed teeth are taken again using plaster models to get the precise shapes and dimensions of the teeth. At this point, temporary laminates are usually installed.

In some cases, there is no need to file the teeth at all before attaching the laminates. The dentist evaluates the filing on a case-by-case basis in consideration of the client's wishes regarding the implementation of the treatment.

A dental technician makes dental laminates using plaster models. When the dental laminates are ready, the dentist removes the temporary laminates and fits and attaches the permanent laminates on the surface of the teeth. The installation of dental laminates is a process that might require several visits depending on the situation.

The importance of self-care in the treatment of dental laminates

Once installed, dental laminates must be treated carefully and regularly as instructed by your dentist. After getting the dental laminates, you should have regular dental check-ups and oral hygienist visists. The dentist and oral hygienist will be able to assess the condition of the installed dental laminates so that the dental laminates last as long as possible for the customer. The dental staff evaluates the appropriate treatment interval individually for each client.
