Dental Laminates

What are Dental Laminates?

Dental laminates, also referred to as dental laminate veneers, are thin, smooth and shiny custom made shells that are placed on the surface of teeth to restore an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the smile. Dental laminates are bonded to the teeth’s surface to improve their shape, size, color, and appearance and unlike dental crowns only require the removal of a small part of the tooth.

Why are Dental Laminates performed?

Dental laminates are primarily performed to treat the physical deformities of the teeth. Dental laminates are performed to:

  • Treat chipped or broken teeth.
  • To fix uneven or misaligned teeth.
  • To eliminate the gaps between the teeth.
  • To create a new appealing smile.
  • To permanently remove and prevent stains.

Stains caused by certain antibiotics or excess fluoride are unable to be resolved through teeth whitening and therefore require Dental Laminates to be inserted, which provide a permanent stainless teeth surface.

What are the conditions for Dental Laminates?

Patients might not be suitable for dental laminates if they suffer from:

  • Insufficient or unhealthy gums
  • Teeth grinding problem, bruxism
  • A protruding lower jaw, prognathism
  • Crooked teeth that require orthodontic treatment

Patients who do not have these listed conditions and wish to fix chipped, broken, uneven, or stained teeth are eligible for dental laminates.

What are the things to be considered before getting Dental Laminates?

The patient’s health history is taken, and it, along with additional information that may be requested, is examined to create a treatment plan for the patient. After the patient arrives in Turkey a thorough dental examination is made where the color of the dental laminates most appropriate for the patient’s teeth is chosen.

How are the Dental Laminates inserted?

Dental laminates usually require 2 to 3 visits to be fully inserted. The first appointment involves the teeth enamel being filed down approximately 0.5 - 1 mm to create space for the dental laminates. Measurements are then taken and a mold of the patient’s teeth and gums are taken. The second visit starts by an acidic gel being applied to the teeth and then the dental laminates being bonded to the teeth through the acidic gel. In some cases an additional visit might be required to check and make mild adjustments to the dental laminates.

First appointment usually takes up to half an hour while the second appointment, on average, takes 2 hours. Dental laminates, if taken care of properly, usually last 5 to 15 years.

What are the things to be considered after getting Dental Laminates?

Patients are recommended to diligently follow their cosmetic dentist’s instructions, which includes taking provided prescription medicine. The patients should also take care to avoid hard or sticky foods, including chewing gum, for at least the first 24 hours after the procedure. Patients are also recommended to be gentle while brushing their teeth for a week after the procedure. After the recovery period, the patients should care to keep good dental hygiene and avoid putting excess pressure on the teeth, through grinding or using teeth to open packaging for example. Otherwise the expected lifespan of the dental laminates might decrease.

What are the risks of Dental Laminates?

While dental laminates are considered a safe cosmetic dental procedure, like with any other major procedure, there is a risk of complications. Potential risks of dental laminates include, but are not limited to:

  • Discomfort or excessive sensitivity to changes in temperature.
  • The dental laminates chipping, getting loose, or dropping off, often as a result of excess physical pressure.
  • An allergic reaction to the material dental laminates are made up of.
  • Discoloration
  • Gingivitis or other gum diseases
  • Poorly fitted dental laminates may impact the balance of biting, leading to an increased risk of breakage, discomfort while eating, and stress on the jaw joints.

The duty of care has been 100% by the surgeon, care team & the translators, especially Bill who has gone above and beyond to make sure we have had the best stay in yasam. He really is the best and couldn't do enough ensure our stay was positive, and comfortable. Steve & Akin have attended to our needs tirelessly daily, along with all the other care colleagues and given the best care ever. The meals were not always good, but did have several options, although if you're English the combination of variety didn't always go together Protein is a big factor for recovery by the hospital, but the catering team need room for improvement based on protein meal choices. The cleaners cater to you're needs aswell not just to keeping your rooms clean and fresh bedding, they help in any other ways they can. I recommend yasam hospital for surgery and care, the team give 100% in everything they do Thank you floor 2 you've been absolutely amazing . ❤️

Julia Walker reviewed 5***** at Yasam

The interpreters were amazing, couldn’t be more helpful, especially Bill who went above & beyond to accommodate us & our quirky ways. The nurses & care assistants couldn’t be more attentive & patient, and worked tirelessly to give round the clock care, especially Steve & Akin. The surgeon Dr Fatih was thorough in his examination & aftercare, I can’t thank everyone enough, and feel confident about the surgery I have had at Yasam hospital. There is room for improvements with meals, & could be better coordination in line with aftercare meal suggestions for recovery. Though you do get 3 meals a day & there is an area to get a drink or sweet snack. I do feel that everyone involved in our care gave 100% & recommend bookingsurgery.com & Yasam hospital for anyone considering surgery.

Poppi reviewed Breast Augmentation with Booking Surgery

I had a fabulous experience with Booking Surgery for my breast augmentation. From start to finish the whole process was so smooth and easy, and made better by my co ordinator Pierre. He was kind and reassuring, and honestly couldn’t do enough for me. He responded swiftly to my questions and queries, nothing was to much for him and I’m so grateful! My surgeon, Dr Ömer Parıldar, was fantastic, and gave me exactly what I wanted. He was very involved with the process visiting me daily after the operation, which was great to ask any questions and put me at ease that my recovery was going well. The staff at Medistanbul were angels, from the nurses to the cleaners everyone was so friendly and caring in their roles. Some more staff from Booking Surgery is like to mention is David Tucker who came to visit me on the ward and chat, which was lovely to meet someone who’s an advocate for what this company can do to improve someone’s entire life! And also, Nadia, who frequently chatted with me made sure I had everything I need, she is a huge asset to this company and for me, the kind and reassuring smiling face you’d need at a time like this. Thank you so much to booking surgery, if I could give more stars I would☺️

Jade Senior reviewed Thank you so much!

Can’t recommend booking surgery enough! WOW. From first consultation, being picked up at the airport, the hospital and all the staff. I can’t fault one single thing! There is always a professional translator but honestly everyone’s English is so good! The nurses are so so attentive and nothing is too much, smiling from start to the finish of their shift. I felt so looked after at every stage. The surgeon went above and beyond my expectations and I can’t believe my new body, booking surgery has given me a new life. And I’ll be forever grateful So clean and you stay in the hospital your whole stay, regular check ups, monitoring and 24/7 care always! I don’t even have any flaws! An amazing surgery with affordable prices, if you’re hesitating don’t! Just do it! My only regret is not doing it sooner! Thank you so much !

Vanessa Smale reviewed I have had a gastric sleeve

I have had a gastric sleeve. The nurses are always smiling and so friendly. The after care is perfect. You always have an interpreter to hand. I was extremely nervous travelling to another country for surgery, but everything has been great.
