Dental lamination is a cosmetic procedure in which thin ceramic or composite shells called laminates are applied to the front surface of the teeth. The purpose of lamination is to improve the appearance of teeth, correct their shape, color, size or alignment.
The lamination process usually includes the following steps::
- Consultation: During the first visit to the dentist, the patient discusses his desires regarding the appearance of teeth. The doctor conducts an examination and evaluates the condition of the teeth to determine the possibility of lamination.
- Preparation: If necessary, the dentist can remove a small layer of enamel from the front surface of the teeth to provide a place for the installation of laminates.
- Impression: Then a dental impression is taken, on the basis of which individual laminates are made.
- Installation: After the laminates are made, they are installed on the teeth using a special adhesive. Then the final shape and color correction is performed to achieve the desired result.
Lamination of teeth allows you to improve your smile, hide dental defects (for example, cracks or irregularities), and change their color and shape. This procedure can also be used to close gaps between teeth or eliminate minor cosmetic defects. However, before undergoing lamination, it is necessary to discuss all aspects with your dentist to make sure that this is the right option for you and to take into account the individual characteristics of your case.
