Porcelain Laminate
A
porcelain laminate requires a longer treatment time. At the first
appointment, your teeth are prepared and an impression is made of them.
Temporary laminates are made out of plastic and placed on your teeth.
They are used to protect your teeth while the real porcelain laminate is
being fabricated. You can also use them to evaluate the look and
feel of your teeth so that any changes you desire can be incorporated
into your real laminates.At the second appointment, Dr. Worthington removes the temporary laminates and bonds the porcelain laminate to your teeth. Once the dental laminates are cemented, color alteration is no longer possible. Dental cement is applied between the dental laminates and tooth.
Although they are thin, a porcelain laminate is much stronger than the composite laminate, so the risk of fracture as compared with composite laminates is much less. However, if a fracture does occur, repairing it is more difficult and may result in the laminate having to be remade.
In general, the porcelain laminate can be used in a greater variety of situations with a higher level of predictability. Since they are made outside the mouth, the shape and color can be easier to control, thus enhancing the final result.
Once teeth have been laminated, they will require periodic treatment and regular visits to Joseph W Worthington DDS LLC. The result is a beautiful and long lasting smile you will love.
Please call Joseph W Worthington DDS LLC at (203) 256-8073 with any questions or concerns regarding laminates.
