Zirconia or Laminate?

Which to choose: zirconia or laminate veneers?

The coating method required for the aesthetics of your smile is determined by the dentist during the examination. In order to achieve an aesthetic appearance, the best treatment method is chosen to meet the patient's expectations. When choosing between a zirconia veneer and a laminate veneer, factors such as tooth structure, the texture of the enamel on the tooth surface, and the degree of tooth wear are evaluated.

Zirconia veneers are performed to improve the aesthetics of the smile and correct dental irregularities. It is one of the most preferred methods of tooth plating due to its durability and natural appearance. Zirconia veneer is used to improve the vitality and correct any deformities in the tooth structure.

Treatment with Laminated Veneers

Laminated veneers are a special method of coating the front surface of the teeth. It is also called laminated veneer and sheet porcelain. Its natural glass-ceramic structure provides an aesthetic appearance. Laminated veneer, which is used as a preventive treatment, lasts for many years due to its durable structure.

Which to Prefer, Zirconia or Laminate?

Laminate veneers are a suitable treatment option to improve the appearance of your teeth. Since the veneer is made of glass-ceramic, it has a transparent structure that blends in with your natural teeth. Because of its natural appearance, the presence of veneers on your teeth is virtually unnoticeable.

Zirconium, being a strong material, is also used as a base for dental treatment. On the other hand, laminate is not used to make bridges. For treating missing teeth and changing the colour of teeth, zirconia veneers are more suitable.
