Types of Laminate Veneers
Laminate Veneer types are generally classified according to the materials they are made of. We have listed for you the types of laminate veneers, their general characteristics and according to which considerations they can be preferred.
Porcelain Veneers:
Porcelain veneers, also known as ceramic veneers, are made of quality dental porcelain that imitates the natural color and translucency of your teeth quite successfully. It is a highly preferred type of veneer due to its resistance to staining and natural tooth look as well as its durability.
Composite Veneers:
Composite veneers are also known as resin or direct veneers. There is a reason why it got this name. Unlike traditional ceramic veneers, composite veneers do not require a laboratory process to be designed. Your doctor will complete the procedure by applying a layer of composite material directly to the front surface of the teeth and hardening it with a special light. Despite being very advantageous in terms of duration, it is less durable and less resistant to staining compared to porcelain veneers.
Lumineers:
Lumineers is a brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers. They are made of a special patented porcelain known for its durability and fineness. Lumineers are designed to require minimal or no tooth augmentation or preparation before placement. Lumineers are custom-made and bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They are often used to overcome cosmetic concerns without significantly altering the natural tooth structure.
Minimal or No-Prep Veneers:
Ultra-thin veneers such as Lumineers or Vivaneers can be bonded directly to the tooth surface. These porcelain veneers, which usually require little or no preparation, are less invasive and have a shorter preparation time because they do not penetrate the layers of the tooth beneath the enamel. However, it may not be suitable for every case.
People who will prefer this type of veneers should get the approval of their dentist.
Ultra-thin veneers are typically made of porcelain and can be bonded directly to the tooth surface without the need for significant enamel removal.
Minimal or no-prep veneers are a conservative alternative that preserves more of the natural tooth structure.
However, it may not be suitable for all cases and the results may not be as dramatic as with traditional veneers.
No-Prep Veneers:
These include options such as Lumineers and Vivaneers, which are specific porcelain veneer brands. They take less time and are less invasive.
Instead of removing the layers of tooth beneath the enamel, no-prep veneers only affect the enamel. In most cases, no-prep veneers do not require local anesthesia or temporary veneers.
How the Procedure Works
The veneer process typically follows several steps, from consultation to final placement. We have listed for you how Laminate Veneer application is done step by step from start to finish.
Comprehensive Analysis and Smile Design
Your journey starts with an online consultation and continues with a friendly chat in the dental chair. Dental consultations usually result in final diagnoses at the dentist's office. You can discuss your cosmetic goals with your experienced dentist, ask your questions and address your concerns. To ensure that the final result meets your smile goals, your dentist will create a treatment plan that takes into account your dental history and current oral health.
Treatment Planning
Together, we will start a collaborative treatment planning session. Here we will go into the details of the desired result. How many veneers are needed? What is the most suitable material for your preferences? If veneers are considered appropriate, the dentist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. This involves discussing the desired result, the number of veneers needed and the choice of material (porcelain or composite resin). A detailed treatment plan plays a crucial role in creating a plan tailored to your smile map
Detailed Digital Imaging
We perform detailed digital imaging to give you an idea of your desired smile map and, if necessary, create a mock-up of your expected results. This step allows you to visualize the process and gives you a choice of what you want to add or change about the final appearance of the skins. The procedure begins by gently removing a minimal amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth. Enamel preparation ensures that the veneers fit properly and helps them adhere firmly to the teeth. In some cases, minimal or no tooth reduction may be required, especially for certain types of veneers such as Lumineers or no-prep veneers. This information will be given to you by your dentist before the type of dental veneer is selected.
Tooth Preparation with Precise Impression Taking and 3D Scanning
Once it is time to prepare the teeth, impressions are taken with meticulous precision. These impressions are the blueprint for your new smile, and in this step we use 3D scanning technology for a highly precise and comfortable experience. After tooth preparation, impressions (molds) of your teeth are taken. These molds serve as a model to create custom veneers that match the size, shape and color of your natural teeth.
Digital Scanners
Let's talk about the vast color catalog! Choosing the right shade is undoubtedly an art of the dentist. We choose colors in collaboration with you for flawless and near-perfect results that blend in with your natural teeth. Molds taken from your teeth in traditional ways are replaced with advanced digital impressions using high-tech scanners. This ensures that your dentist works meticulously to determine the desired tooth color and shade and helps to eliminate unwanted deviations.
Temporary Veneers for Protection
Temporary veneers can be placed to protect the teeth while your perfect veneers are prepared in the laboratory according to the individual's wishes. These temporary veneers are usually simpler in appearance and are functional teeth that save space to allow you to smile with confidence.
Experiment in the Art of Veneering
Before making your veneers permanent, a personalized trial session provides a preview of your future smile design. This step allows for any tweaks or changes to ensure lifetime satisfaction. While people check out the color and size of the veneers, your dentist will put the finishing touches on how they feel in your mouth and a complete bite bite.
Customized Veneer Placement
If you are satisfied with the feel and look of the trial veneers, it is time to glue your meticulously prepared veneers before the big show. Your dentist will take into account unique individual factors such as tooth symmetry, alignment, a precise bite and your facial structure to ensure the most optimized result. After each veneer is carefully placed individually or in groups, advanced adhesive technology is used for precise bonding.
Microscopic Adjustments
Once the veneers are bonded, the dentist can make final adjustments if necessary to ensure proper bite alignment and comfort. Excess adhesive is removed and the veneers are polished to a smooth finish.
Microscopic adjustments are made to your bite and veneers to achieve absolute perfection.

Instant Comfort After the Procedure
It is very common that you feel some sensitivity and oral discomfort immediately after the procedure.This sensitivity is usually caused by the final adjustments in the design of the teeth and lasts only a short time. Generally by the next day the sensitivity is gone and the veneers feel as if they have been in your mouth since you were born.
First Couple of Days
In the early days, prefer softer foods and pay attention to your chewing habits. Your doctor will provide instructions to follow and recommended foods after your veneer treatment. Even though the veneers are strong, we recommend that you adhere to the suggested diet for the first few days to allow them to adapt to your mouth and for long-lasting durability.
Oral Hygiene Practices
Maintain your oral hygiene routines by making sure you use a soft toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste. Depending on your specific needs, your dentist may recommend specially designed toothbrushes or special oral care products for veneers.
Long-Term Care
If you tend to grind your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend a night guard. This small investment can contribute significantly to the long-term success of your veneers. It makes your long-term care much easier if you consult with your medical consultant and follow the necessary instructions to avoid the risk of staining your veneers and the possibility of damage due to hard chewing habits.
