Treatment
A step-by-step cosmetic dental treatment that bonds custom-crafted thin ceramic or composite shells to your teeth, delivering a beautiful, proportionate smile with minimal tooth alteration.
About the treatment
Laminate veneer application is a refined cosmetic dental procedure in which ultra-thin shells — crafted from either pressed ceramic (such as IPS e.max) or high-quality composite resin — are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. The application process itself is what distinguishes this treatment: it is a meticulous, multi-stage protocol that demands precision at every step, from initial digital planning through to final cementation. The term 'laminate' refers to the layered construction of the veneer material. In the ceramic version, dental technicians build up the veneer in multiple thin layers of porcelain, firing each layer at high temperatures to achieve the depth of colour, translucency, and lifelike character found in natural teeth. In the direct composite version, the dentist sculpts the resin material layer by layer directly onto the tooth surface, curing each layer with a specialised light. Both approaches aim to create a seamless, natural-looking result. What makes the laminate veneer application particularly appealing is its conservative nature. Unlike traditional full-coverage crowns, which require significant tooth reduction on all surfaces, laminate veneers typically need only 0.3 to 0.5 mm of preparation on the front face. In carefully selected cases, dentists can place 'no-prep' laminates with virtually zero enamel removal. This preservation of healthy tooth structure is a cornerstone of modern minimally invasive dentistry. The success of any laminate veneer application depends on three critical factors: accurate digital planning, skilled laboratory craftsmanship, and precise bonding technique. Στο BestDent, we invest heavily in all three. Our cases begin with comprehensive digital smile design, our ceramics are fabricated by experienced technicians using premium materials, and our bonding protocols follow evidence-based adhesive dentistry principles to ensure maximum strength and longevity. Clinical research consistently shows that well-bonded ceramic laminate veneers have survival rates exceeding 90% at 15 years and beyond. When the preparation, fabrication, and bonding are performed correctly, these restorations function beautifully for decades, resisting staining, chipping, and debonding far better than composite alternatives.

Treatment Process
Initial συμβουλευτική and Ψηφιακή Records
Your cosmetic dentist performs a thorough oral examination, takes digital X-rays, and captures intraoral 3D scans along with facial photographs. You discuss your goals, and the dentist assesses whether laminate veneers are the right option or if a different approach would better serve your needs.
Ψηφιακή Smile Σχεδιασμός and mock-up
Your digital records are imported into smile design software, where the ideal shape, proportion, and alignment of each veneer is planned. A physical mock-up is fabricated from temporary composite and placed over your existing teeth, letting you see and feel the proposed result before committing.
Conservative Παρασκευή δοντιών
Once you approve the design, your teeth are gently prepared under local anaesthesia. Only a thin layer of enamel — typically 0.3 to 0.5 mm — is removed from the front surface using calibrated preparation guides derived from the digital plan. This ensures consistent, minimal reduction.
Precision Impressions and Shade Selection
High-accuracy digital impressions are captured with an intraoral scanner and sent to the ceramics laboratory alongside your shade selection, design file, and any specific aesthetic requests. Digital workflows eliminate distortion and ensure the lab receives perfectly accurate data.
Temporary Veneers
Provisional veneers are placed over your prepared teeth to protect them and maintain your appearance during the laboratory fabrication period. These temporaries are shaped to closely match the approved design, giving you a comfortable preview while you wait for your permanent veneers.
Ceramic Κατασκευή in the Εργαστήριο
Expert ceramic technicians hand-press or layer your veneers from premium dental porcelain, meticulously building in the natural colour transitions and surface characteristics that make each veneer unique. Fabrication typically takes 5 to 7 working days, depending on case complexity.
Try-In, Adjustment, and Approval
Your completed veneers are tried in using water-soluble paste so you can evaluate fit, shape, and colour in natural light before anything is permanently bonded. Your dentist makes any fine adjustments needed, and the lab can modify individual veneers if you request changes.
Permanent Συγκόλληση and Final Polish
Each veneer is bonded to the prepared tooth surface using advanced light-cured resin cement under rubber dam isolation for optimal adhesion. Excess cement is carefully removed, margins are polished to a seamless finish, and your bite is checked and refined. You receive aftercare instructions to protect your investment.

ΣυνεχήςFrequently Asked Questions
How many years do laminate veneers last?
With quality materials and proper care, ceramic laminate veneers routinely last 15 to 20 years, and many cases exceed 25 years. Longevity depends on factors like material choice, bonding technique, oral hygiene habits, and whether you protect them with a night guard if you grind your teeth.
How many sessions does the laminate veneer application take?
Most cases require two to three appointments spread over 7 to 10 days. The first visit covers consultation, design, and preparation. The second visit is for try-in and permanent bonding. Complex cases involving gum contouring or a higher number of veneers may need an additional appointment.
Can laminate veneers fall off?
When bonded using modern adhesive protocols by an experienced cosmetic dentist, the risk of debonding is very low. The resin cement creates a chemical bond between the porcelain and enamel that is extremely strong. Debonding is most commonly caused by trauma or biting into very hard objects.
Can I eat normally with laminate veneers?
Yes, you can eat a completely normal diet. Laminate veneers are strong enough for everyday biting and chewing. The only precaution is to avoid using your front teeth to bite into exceptionally hard items like whole apples, ice cubes, or nutshells — cut hard foods into smaller pieces instead.
What is the difference between laminate veneers and dental crowns?
Laminate veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth and require minimal enamel removal (0.3–0.5 mm), while crowns encase the entire tooth and require substantially more reduction. Veneers are the preferred option when the tooth structure is largely intact and the primary goal is cosmetic improvement.
Do laminate veneers look fake?
Not when they are well-designed and crafted from premium ceramic materials. High-quality laminates replicate the translucency, colour gradients, and surface texture of natural teeth. Στο BestDent, our design philosophy prioritises natural beauty — we want your veneers to look like your best natural teeth, not artificial.
Is the laminate veneer application reversible?
Traditional veneers that involve enamel preparation are not reversible, because the removed enamel cannot grow back. However, 'no-prep' laminates bonded without any tooth reduction can be removed if needed. Your dentist will discuss which approach is best for your specific case during consultation.
What happens if a laminate veneer chips or breaks?
Small chips can sometimes be polished smooth or repaired with composite resin. If a veneer fractures significantly, it will need to be replaced. Because the tooth underneath has already been prepared, fabricating and bonding a new veneer is a straightforward process. This is rare with quality porcelain.
Why is Turkey a popular destination for laminate veneers?
Τουρκία combines world-class cosmetic dental expertise with significantly lower operating costs, which translates into substantial savings for patients compared to prices in the UK, Germany, or Scandinavia. BestDent uses the same premium e.max and feldspathic porcelain materials available in any top European lab, with the added benefit of a streamlined experience designed for international visitors.
How should I care for my laminate veneers long-term?
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, floss every day, and see your dentist for professional cleanings every six months. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom night guard is essential. Avoid using your teeth to open packaging or bite your nails.
