Porcelain laminates, also known as porcelain veneers, are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored ceramic material that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to create a brighter, more even, and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Key Features of Porcelain Laminates:

• Material: Made from high-quality porcelain that mimics the natural translucency and color of real teeth.

• Purpose: Used to correct issues like discoloration, gaps, chipped or worn teeth, and minor misalignment.

• Procedure: A small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front of the tooth to make space for the laminate. Then, the veneer is permanently bonded using a strong dental adhesive.

• Durability: With proper care, porcelain laminates can last 10–15 years or longer.

• Natural Look: They reflect light similarly to natural tooth enamel, offering a very lifelike result.

Porcelain laminates are an excellent choice for patients seeking a long-lasting and minimally invasive solution to enhance their smile.
