Cosmetic Laminate Veneers
Cosmetic laminate veneers are suitable if you face the suituation of :
• Discolored or medicinal stained teeth
• Misaligned, crooked or vertically rotated teeth
• Gaps between or heavily worn teeth
• Peg shaped lateral incisors
If suffering from any of the above dental ailments laminated composite veneers could be an answer.
Historically, the methods of dealing with these problems have been to use orthodontics, crowns or porcelain veneers.These procedures , though effective, cpould either be time-consuming, painful, expensive or in the case of porcelain veneers may crack or come off.
What is laminate composite veneer
This is a veneer built on the tooth with tooth coloured materials called composite.
The dentist, like an artist sculpting, places layers of composites with different colour, shade, shape and tone progressively onto the surface of the tooth or teeth.
The discolouration will be blocked and corrected at the same time. You can even choose a whiter shade which will provide a long term "whitening" effect. It is fast, painless and more cost effective than other dental techniques such as orthodontics, crowns and porcelain veneers. The result is a new smile built in front of eyes in hours.
This procedure, though simple, requires the dentist performing the task to have a good esthetic sense, practical experiences and a high level of clinical skills. Performed at these standards a laminate veneer is also stronger that comparable treatments.
In this way laminate veneers are less likely fracture over time. The only maintenance required it to have the laminate periodically polished as to retain their lustre and shine. They can be repaired like a "filling" if any chipping or fracturing did occur.
In a matter of hours, you can have the smile you are longing for, at a price you can afford.

What is the difference between dental veneers and orthodontics (like braces)?
Veneers are faster, easier and often less costly than orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic is a rather time-consuming process; when a person gets braces, the teeth are literally moved around within the mouth to create a straighter smile or correct a misaligned bite.
Laminated composite veneers are much faster and easier, because instead of moving teeth within the mouth, we just apply a thin new surface to cover the front of each tooth. This allows us to reshape the appearance of the person’s teeth and smile, but without having to go through the extensive work of orthodontics. We would emphasis that because this is applied ‘free-handed’ , the dentist who is performing this procedure must have very skilful hands, be very experienced, has good knowledge of the procedure,thoroughly examine and understand the existing condition of the patients mouth and most importantly has good sense of aesthetics
What is the difference between laminated composite veneers and teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a chemical process. Some people do not want to go through a chemical treatment process for their teeth, or are sensitive to chemicals, or do not have the time. Laminated composite veneers can correct the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth, resulting in a much more permanent, whiter, healthier looking smile – without the chemical process of traditional teeth whitening.
