Laminate veneers are commonly used dental veneers. Porcelain laminate veneers, which have become popular especially since the beginning of the 2000’s, can provide an excellent aesthetic appearance with conservative methods and without much abrasion of the tooth tissue.
Laminate veneer is a process that; removes the color changes which distort the natural white of the teeth, fixes minor deformities that occur in the form of teeth, and eliminates deformation.
Unlike commonly known, laminates are not a type of porcelain. When laminate porcelain is used, it should be understood that the preparations to be made on the teeth will be carried out in a conservative way, with only minor abrasions of the necessary parts to complement the aesthetic with the damaged areas.
Although it is stated in many sources that laminate veneers can be done without any cutting, these cases do not exceed 30% of all cases in order to adjust the end point of the gum and obtain a certain thickness. This means that if necessary, the physician will make some corrections and abrasions, even if these are small ones.
Who Can Benefit from Porcelain Laminate Veneers?
Porcelain laminate veneers are an ideal solution for many patients seeking a natural and aesthetic smile. At our clinic, located in the heart of Istanbul—a city known for both its history and its growing reputation in health tourism—we offer personalized treatments using the latest techniques and materials. Porcelain laminates may be suitable for patients with the following conditions:
Discoloration or staining of the front teeth
Misaligned, crooked, or uneven teeth
Gaps between teeth (diastema)
Large, old fillings with aesthetic concerns
Chipped, fractured, or worn-down teeth
Deep staining caused by antibiotics or excessive fluoride, unresponsive to whitening
Patients dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of their teeth
Each case is evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate and minimally invasive solution. Our experienced team is dedicated to delivering results that enhance both function and beauty.
No. Laminate veneers are a minimally invasive treatment. In most cases, only a very thin layer of enamel is gently removed—or sometimes none at all—before placing the veneer. Your natural tooth structure remains largely intact.
High-quality laminate veneers are designed to look just like real teeth. At our clinic in Istanbul, we customize each veneer to match your smile’s shape, color, and proportions—so they look natural, not artificial.
With proper care, they typically last between 10–15 years, sometimes even longer. They are durable, stain-resistant, and maintain their appearance over time.
Most patients report little to no discomfort. The process is quick, gentle, and often completed in just two visits. Local anesthesia is used if needed, but many don’t require it.
We always take care of your smile
