What are dental veneers and laminates?

Dental veneers are super-thin porcelain sheaths adhered to your teeth to improve aesthetics. Laminates are similar to veneers, except they are thinner. Laminates can be created from porcelain or composites. Composite is cheaper but doesn’t last as long as porcelain. 

Veneers and laminates resolve similar problems, and the dentist can use them to:

  • Whiten discolored teeth
  • Close unwanted gaps
  • Fix worn-down, cracked, or chipped teeth
  • Straighten mildly crooked teeth
  • Even oddly shaped or crooked teeth

Both veneers and laminates are tooth-colored, so your results will be natural and show no signs of dental work. 

What can I expect from treatment?

Whether you want veneers or laminates, both treatments start with a consultation with Dr. Ahkami. We’ll discuss your treatment goals and examine your teeth to determine their suitability for veneers or laminates.

The next step is to prepare your teeth. Here is where there is a big difference between laminates and veneers. To place porcelain veneers, the dentist removes about 0.5mm of enamel from the front surfaces of your teeth. This accommodates the thickness of the veneers to create a seamless integration with the surrounding teeth. Laminates are super-thin, so the dentist removes a minimal amount of the enamel. Sometimes, the contact lenses-thin laminates are bonded directly to your teeth. 

After teeth preparation, the dentist will take digital scans of your teeth and send the images to our dental lab to create your veneers/laminates. The restorations are made with strict directions from Dr. Ahkami to ensure they fit the exact specifications of your teeth. Since this meticulous fabrication may take a few days, the dentist will cover the prepped teeth with interim veneers to restore aesthetics and functionality. 

When your veneers/laminates are ready, you’ll visit our office for placement. The dentist will check their fit and make a few adjustments to ensure proper alignment and appearance. The final step is to bond them to your teeth with permanent adhesives. Now, you can enjoy your brand-new smile and show your confidence everywhere you go. 

What are the benefits of laminates and veneers?

Veneers or laminates are like fake fingernails but are for your teeth. They cover up your teeth to improve their color, shape, size, and alignment. Dental veneers and laminates offer several life-changing benefits,
