LAMINATE & PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS IN VIETNAM

1. WHAT ARE LAMINATE / PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS?

Laminate or porcelain dental veneers are thin pieces of material (0.3 to 0.5 mm) that are placed on the outer surface of your teeth, helping you to achieve the desired aesthetic.

They’re essentially fresh aesthetically pleasing layers that look completely natural.

Dental veneers do not require intense teeth grinding as crowns typically do, therefore you might not require root canal treatment and could keep as much of your original teeth as possible.

Porcelain dental veneers have become one of the most popular restorative dentistry solutions, not only in Asia but also other developed countries such as the US, UK, Australia and certain countries across Europe.

2. WHICH CASE IS SUITABLE FOR LAMINATE / PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS?

  • Stained teeth are not too severe
  • Small teeth, teeth are sparse.
  • Decayed tooth
  • Cracked teeth
  • Other abnormal defects of the teeth
