LAMINATES & VENEERS – Om Dental Clinic & Implant Centre

Dental laminates and dental veneers are two common procedures done to improve the overall appearances of someone’s smile. From color to shape and size, both options ultimately provide non-invasive treatments to unpleasant smiles.

But What is the difference between the two?

Dental Veneers:

A dental veneer is an ultra-thin shell of tooth-colored porcelain or composite that is cemented over the facial surfaces of your teeth to correct dental dental issues including worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, tooth discoloration, and chips or cracks.

benefits include durability, an improved smile appearance, and the need for little-to-no removal of tooth structure compared to crowns.

Dental Laminates:

Dental Laminates have the same function as veneers and sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably. Laminates differ in the sense that they are much thinner and require even less or no amount of enamel removed for them to be placed.

What to choose?

Knowing the difference between dental laminates and dental veneers matters because it can help a patient decide which option is best for their teeth and smile needs. For instance, someone with crooked teeth or who has gaps are much better off getting veneers which are more stabler than dental laminates. However, if the issue is discoloration or minor chips, laminates are a great option because they are lightweight and do not require much enamel removal.

Finally your dentist will help you decide one which suits the best for you..

We at Om Dental Clinic & Implant Centre will guide you regarding these choices of (composite or porcelain) veneers or laminates that will help you SMILE confidently.
