Am I A Candidate for Porcelain Laminate Veneers?

We live in a beauty centric society and PLVs have come along just in time to meet the felt needs and wants of our patients who perceive an attractive smile no longer as a luxury but a necessary part of their lifestyles.

You require PLVs if you have:

•  Unsightly spaces between your teeth
  

  Case 1
  Before	After

  
  

  Case 2
  Before	After

  
  
•  Discolored teeth (Tetracycline stained, fluorosed teeth – chalky white or brown  stained, non-vital discolored tooth etc.
  
  

  Before	After

  
  
•  Worn down and chipped teeth
  
  

  Before	After

  
  
•  Rotated and crooked teeth
•  Minimal Visibility of the Teeth when smiling

Advantages

• The amount of reduction required is ultra conservative and minimal, as the thickness of the PLVs can be kept to a minimal of just 0.3 mm.
• PLV’s are translucent just like your natural teeth and have the inherent quality to reflect, refract, disperse and absorb light similar to your natural tooth. This imparts increased vitality and brilliance to your perfectly designed smile.
• The PLV has a highly polished, non-porous, glazed surface which prevents and deters plaque accumulation. This allows the gums around your veneers to stay in the “Pink” of health.
• They do not discolor nor stain.
• The PLVs have a contact lens effect hence merging into the tooth so one cannot distinguish the laminate from your natural tooth; therein lies the beauty of your bonded veneers.

How Is It Done

You require only 2 office visits. The teeth will be prepared and an impression made in the first visit. Porcelain Laminate Veneers which are thin shells of porcelain. During the 2nd visit they will be tried and fused (bonded) to the enamel. Once bonded, this Porcelain Laminate Veneers become an integral part of your tooth and are as strong as your natural teeth.
