Lamina Porcelain

Laminate dental veneers are applied for color differences in teeth, tooth cracks and fractures, and color changes caused by fillings. For these procedures, instead of cutting the entire tooth, an aesthetic application is made by applying leaf porcelain only to the front surface. Laminate veneers, or leaf porcelain as they are known among the public, are a perfect way to correct front teeth and give teeth an aesthetic appearance.

Since there is no metal in its substructure, it provides a natural and aesthetic smile due to the porcelain's own structure. You can whiten your teeth with laminates, fill the gaps between your teeth and have a beautiful smile.
