Dental laminates are ultra-thin, long-lasting tooth-colored shells that cover the front surface of teeth. As one of the most popular cosmetic and restorative treatments, laminates help achieve a flawless smile. By applying laminate veneers, tooth color, length, size, and shape can be modified to the patient’s preference. These highly durable veneers, also known as veneers, are made from porcelain or composite materials, offering greater strength than natural enamel.

Porcelain (ceramic) laminates are particularly stain-resistant and maintain their color far better than natural teeth. Beyond aesthetics, they help correct tooth imperfections, misalignments, and enhance durability while protecting teeth from decay. Unlike common misconceptions, laminating teeth does not require breaking or damaging them. Instead, a minimal surface preparation is performed to smooth and polish the tooth’s outer layer, removing dark spots before the laminate is securely bonded. This means no harm is done to your natural teeth in the process.
