What is Leaf Porcelain?

                Aesthetic concerns and aesthetic expectations in oral and dental health have a very important place in people's lives. Positive contributions are made to people's private lives, interactions with other people and social status.

Dentistry aims to achieve not only functional success but also aesthetic appearance in order to fully meet people's expectations in oral and dental health. Today, the manifestation of developing technologies in dentistry and applications is preferred and their development processes are followed in order to gain healthier teeth and oral health with less material loss.

The reasons for aesthetic losses in teeth, especially in the front teeth, are;

• Color changes that cannot be eliminated by existing teeth whitening techniques and methods,
• Formations of crooked structures in teeth,
• Incorrect alignment of teeth due to the presence of space in the lower and upper jaw,
• Diestama,
• Advanced level tooth decay,
• They can be listed as tactile losses that occur due to fractures in the teeth.

Porcelain laminate veneers, which protect the dental tissue at a very good level, are among the frequently preferred treatment methods. Very thin, individually produced laminate veneers are adhered to the surface of the tooth to be treated using special adhesives and the force resistance of the tooth is increased.

To whom is Porcelain Lamina applied?

Porcelain laminate veneers meet the expectations very well in terms of aesthetics;

• Discoloration of teeth occurs due to various reasons,
• To aesthetically raise the front teeth to the desired level,
• In the presence of non-aesthetic and hygienic cases occurring on tooth surfaces,
• When tooth surfaces are exposed to erosion, especially in terms of retention,
• It can be easily applied on teeth where wear is observed due to the foods consumed due to aging.

How are laminate veneers made in aesthetic dentistry?

Porcelain laminate veneers, which are mostly applied to the front teeth to gain an aesthetic appearance, are a treatment method that protects oral hygiene as well as teeth. With the veneers applied on the tooth enamel, a very small amount of superficial thinning is made. This preparation process is done in a way that will reduce the possibility of fractures on the laminate coating, hide any discoloration that may occur on the teeth, and prevent gaps that may occur between the teeth. Temporary composite restorations are prepared and used until the treatment process is completed. While meeting the aesthetic expectations of the patient, the continuity of the functional function is also ensured.
