Porcelain Laminates

How long do porcelain laminates last?

A properly made porcelain lamina can be used for an average of 10-20 years. Its structure is produced from very robust materials. The lifespan may vary depending on factors such as the person's eating habits, parafunctional habits (nail biting, breaking hard with the front teeth, etc.) or gum diseases, which should also be considered in natural teeth. The person's daily oral care will also increase the lifespan of porcelain laminates.

Is it possible to see how the teeth will look with porcelain laminate before the application?

While in previous years there was no opportunity to see and decide on the prosthesis to be made, now, with the procedures we call wax up and mock up, the person can see and decide on trial prostheses that are almost identical to the prosthesis to be made before prosthetic treatment. For this procedure, impressions are taken from the patient before the treatment and the prostheses designed with plastic-like materials on these impressions are applied on the patient's existing teeth. Again, recently, thanks to digital smile design programs, the patient can have an idea by evaluating the prostheses designed on the computer using facial photographs.

For bracket cleaning, teeth should be brushed regularly with a toothbrush. Brushes and other instruments specially produced for braces contribute to the best cleaning of the brackets. Oral care can also be done with mouthwashes on some days.
