Veneers with composite resin are called Composite Laminates and are comparatively cost effective.
It is a quick procedure- typically the same day-treatment, and there is no reshaping of the actual tooth involved. The prepping is minimal and the process is reversible. These Composite Laminates are reconstructions that aim to correct any visual abnormalities of your tooth, such as discolouration and esthetic deficiencies. Composite Laminates are a form of direct laminates and the reconstruction is applied directly on a prepped tooth surface with the composite resin material.
Not only is the procedure minimally invasive, but the finish is very natural and tooth-like, barely detectable to others. The treatment has been developed for advanced esthetic problems pertinent to the front teeth. Composite Laminates can be used to fix erosions and abrasions, coronal fractures, diastemas, rotated teeth, tooth discolouration, discoloured restorations, congenital/acquired malformations like peg lateral incisors, etc.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135278372{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 1″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727662843{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”BEFORE” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1588258216186{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”845″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”my-img-col” width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135283626{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”AFTER” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23b3b3b3″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589725376255{padding-top: 78px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”846″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589519316550{padding-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135292234{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 2″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727674880{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”847″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135298795{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”848″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589519310625{padding-top: 48px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589519346423{padding-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135305218{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 3″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727686807{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”849″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135310330{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”850″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589519340729{padding-top: 48px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589519376854{padding-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135316458{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 4″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727698697{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”851″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135321722{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”852″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589519371177{padding-top: 48px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1589519411023{padding-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135329675{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Case 5″ font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left|color:%23666666″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1589727711000{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1624″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”1626″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589265567273{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590135335619{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1725″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589544440750{padding-top: 48px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1726″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1589544457798{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1590135343570{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Composite Laminates – What To Expect ?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:24px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1588314685175{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1590135350122{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Since Composite laminates are typically fabricated in the dentist’s office itself, the process is very short and the entire procedure can be completed in a single appointment. Composite Laminates, also called Composite Bonding, are sculpted directly onto the surface of the tooth.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]First, the surface of the tooth is roughened for the composite material to hold on. For direct technique, the Dentist sculpts the entire laminate on to the tooth and for indirect technique, an impression of the tooth is made to create the structure of the initial tooth-shaped resin. This laminate is fabricated by the dentist in his office itself and directly put on the surface of the anterior tooth.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A high-intensity light is used to cure this tooth-shaped resin onto the tooth, making sure there is little porosity. Additional layers of resin are applied on top of this base structure and sculpted by the dentist to bring it to the required shape or aesthetic outcome.
