What is Composite Laminate?

Composite laminates are applications made with composite materials in order to eliminate color and shape disorders in the teeth without causing any material loss.

What are the Application Areas of Composite Laminates?

Composite laminates are successfully used in the restoration of broken teeth, closing of interdental spaces (diastema), extension of the crown lengths of teeth, changing the color of teeth and smile design.

How Should Composite Laminate Maintenance Be After Application?

After the composite laminate production, six-month checks should be made. Thus, the necessary polishing process for maintenance will minimize discoloration. Regular tooth brushing and interdental cleaning are important factors.

What is the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers?

  • It may be necessary to remove a small amount of tooth tissue for the production of porcelain laminates.
  • Composite laminates are not like porcelain veneers, they become discolored faster, and should be checked every six months and, if necessary, their polish should be renewed.
  • Composite laminates can be repaired quickly and easily when broken. This process is more difficult with porcelain laminates.
  • Porcelain laminates have a much brighter and less stain-resistant structure. Composite laminates, on the other hand, become colored more quickly.
