What is a Laminates & Veneers?

Dental laminates and veneers are thin, custom-made shells or coverings that are placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance.

Why Laminates & Veneers recommended?

Composite restorations, or tooth-colored fillings made of composite resin material, are recommended for a variety of reasons in modern dentistry.

Esthetic Appeal

One of the primary reasons for recommending composite restorations is their natural appearance.

Conservative Tooth Preparation

Composite fillings require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure during the preparation process.

Bonding Strength

Composite resin bonds chemically to the tooth structure, creating a strong and durable connection.

Reduced Sensitivity

Composite fillings can help reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures compared to some other filling materials like dental amalgam (metal fillings).

No Mercury

Unlike dental amalgam fillings, which contain mercury, composite restorations are mercury-free.

Immediate Use

Composite fillings harden quickly when exposed to a curing light, allowing patients to use their treated teeth immediately after the procedure.
