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.

I want to express my deep gratitude to ERA Clinic in Istanbul and the amazing professionals who work there. A special thank you goes to Dr. Vijdan Aslonoğlu and Surgeon Enes Yol for their outstanding care.

Danny Fowler-Gill reviewed I would recommend booking surgery for 360fdl

I would recommend booking surgery whole heartedly. My coordinator has been there for me for the whole 11 months of booking my procedure has answered questions quickly and efficiently and as been on hand for anything. I had a 360 FDL with DR. Fatih I would recommend his work especially on a male body! I was at Yassam hospital where Dr. fatih works from the hospital was clean, our room was cleaned multiple times a day and bedding changed there’s is male nurses as well as female nurses to assist with care and nothing was too much of a problem. Theatre skaters are on hand 24 hours a day and are based at the hospital so if there was ever a language barrier it was resolved quickly and effectively. I’m extremely happy with the results I have received. Rossie has been in touch since returning home which is also a nice touch.

Gary Ricks reviewed I booked to have a gastric sleeve and…

I booked to have a gastric sleeve and the whole process from booking all the way through to returning home was amazing. Bookingsurgery.com were really helpful and very clear on what the plan was to make it very easy and not stressful. David Turker was my support and through the whole process he communicated again making it not stressful at all, the staff at the hospital couldn't do enough for you and it was like going to a private hospital in England where they really want to care for you.

Hannah Jeffries reviewed Better than the service in the UK

Was very anxious at first but was recommended from a friend and I'm so pleased I went with it! I originally paid £300 for a consultation in the UK with a private UK hospital and received such a unwelcoming money making doctor who wanted £10K for the lift then was making me then pay for the implants separately! So I lost hope from this. Each doctor has different prices from Booking but they are all somewhat similar. But the value of money and the service received was beyond what I had in the UK. And I really appreciated being in hospital for longer than I would have in the UK as it was difficult moving etc. Translators are there all the time so never have to worry about miscommunication. Plus Google translate comes in handy too. My partner came with me which was great (I do recommend, if possible) he was looked after too!

Joanne M reviewed Great experience

Had a great experience with booking surgery when I went for my 360 FDL 6 weeks ago. I really felt as though I was in safe hands and couldn't be happier with my results. I'd recommend this company to anyone. So much so I'm going back next year!

Tammi reviewed Seamless from beginning to end.

Seamless from beginning to end. My coordinator Chloe, has been amazing. I never waited long for a reply to any of my questions. She's super friendly and helpful. My surgeon Dr Omer was amazing from my first meeting with him, to my final check before flying home. I am amazed by my results, I was hoping for great results and they're even better than I'd imagined. The nurses are so wonderful. Always happy to help, with a smile on their faces. The translators are such sweethearts too. The standards within the hospital are way beyond what we have in the UK. The food is okay, not always to my taste but I wasn't that bothered because my appetite dropped a fair bit during my stay. We got offered to stay in a hotel for our last night and I'm so glad. It was a 5* suite and I slept for a full 9 hours, felt like a new person in the morning. Thank you so much to everyone at Bookingsurgery.com
