After anesthesia, the necessary arrangements are made on the teeth to be covered with porcelain veneers.
After the arrangements on the teeth are completed, porcelain veneer impressions are taken.

Since its light transmittance is close to natural teeth, it gives a very natural tooth appearance. Among all the poreless teeth made in the mouth, porcelain laminates are the most aesthetic and wonderful.
During the production of porcelain laminate veneers, only a few elements are abraded from the front surface of the teeth, or there is no need for any abrasion in individuals with short and small teeth. This allows the teeth to have an aesthetic structure without being damaged.
