Ceramic dental laminates/veneers are thin ceramic shells
in white color and are fitted perfectly on to the visible side of anterior teeth.
They are a rapid and safe way to correct unattractive front teeth. These veneers
bond chemically to the tooth structure, hence giving them a long lasting effect.
Veneers can be used to hide permanent stains, cracks, chipping of teeth. Sometimes
these are also indicated to alter the shape or size of the patient's teeth, or fill
spaces within teeth.
The correction of unattractive front teeth with ceramic veneers involves two clinical
visits. The first visit entails the preparation of the tooth, making impression
of the prepared tooth and the placement of temporary acrylic veneers.
