Laminate Veneer Crowns (Leaf Porcelain)
Laminate veneers (leaf porcelain) are prosthetic restorations that can correct the color, form and position of teeth in the fastest and most conservative way.
Laminate porcelain crowns (leaf porcelain) are unique to the person and provide a very natural appearance. The reason they are called leaf porcelain is that they are prepared quite thinly. They are usually prepared in a thickness of 0.3 - 0.5 mm (approximately the thickness of a nail). Since they do not contain any metal as a substructure, they are quite successful in terms of aesthetics.
The biggest advantage of porcelain laminate veneers (leaf porcelain) over other prosthetic restorations is that very little preparation (tooth cutting) is required on the teeth.In some cases, porcelain laminate veneers (leaf porcelain) can be applied without any tooth cutting. A well-made laminate porcelain veneer restoration cannot be distinguished from natural teeth.

Porcelain laminate crowns have a very strong structure after being applied to the teeth and bonded with special adhesives. You do not need to change your normal life, but it should not be forgotten that foods that can break even natural teeth can also break laminates. Laminate teeth do not have a special care.
