It is possible to completely change your smile with very thin leaf-shaped restorations that we call lamina, which is bonded only on the front surface of the teeth.

With mock-up techniques, you can see your digital smile on the teeth, and then, if desired, in the mouth, before any intervention. Thus, you do not have to worry about how your teeth will look like at the end of the procedure.

Fine-structured porcelain laminates provide a bright appearance on the teeth with their transparency resembling natural tooth enamel. Due to its superior aesthetic properties, it is a frequently preferred treatment option in smile design.

Porcelain Lamina Treatment Process:

• First of all, your dentist evaluates whether this procedure is suitable for you by photographing your teeth, examining them in detail, investigating your wishes and expectations. Like all other applications, this process may not be suitable for everyone. If appropriate, we continue with the following steps, if not, alternative proper actions are recommended.
• Detailed photography are taken and both jaws are recorded with an intraoral scanning camera and their relationship with each other is determined.
• First, a smile design is made on the photographs as "two-dimensional". In this design, a personal smile is designed by evaluating many issues such as the relationship between teeth and lips, face shape, gender, the form of the existing teeth, the visibility and symmetry of the gums in the smile.
• If the patient likes the two-dimensional design, the process can be started, or if desired, the dimensioning and shaping can be made by transferring them to a different program, and a personalized Mock-Up plate is obtained by making "three-dimensional" digital modeling in accordance with the finished shape. With this plaque, the way of smiling is shown practically on his own teeth. If desired, modifications can be made on it and the ideal result is obtained without any concrete action. Thus, it is possible to start the process as "carefree".

• In Mock-Up application, if shape changes on the gums are required, laser sizing and symmetry are provided to the gums by taking the plaque borders as a guide. This process is called pink aesthetics. For aesthetic results, pink aesthetics is as important as lamina making, which we call white aesthetics.
• If a change has been made, the final state of the teeth is scanned with a camera over the Mock-Up material and sent to the laboratory.
• The desired color is determined after shared decision.
• Laminas are prepared in the laboratory in the light of all this information.
• he laminae coming to the clinic are rehearsed, corrected if necessary and adhered to the teeth with special bonding materials.

Advantages of Porcelain Laminates:

• They can be applied with minimal material loss with little or no roughening of the tooth surface.
• They are both natural and aesthetic because they are thin and transparent.
• Since the back surface of the tooth is never touched, they do not affect speech.
• Since they are applied one by one, they do not adversely affect gum health.
• The desired color, surface feature and form can be provided to the teeth with laminates.
• They preserve their colors and textures for many years as they are made of state-of-the-art ceramic materials. They are not affected by coloring foods and tobacco products.
