- Rotated
and crooked teeth
- Minimal
Visibility of the Teeth when smiling
Advantages
- The amount
of reduction required is ultra conservative
and minimal, as the thickness of the
PLVs can be kept to a minimal of just
0.3 mm.
- PLV's
are translucent just like your natural
teeth and have the inherent quality
to reflect, refract, disperse and absorb
light similar to your natural tooth.
This imparts increased vitality and
brilliance to your perfectly designed
smile.
- The PLV
has a highly polished, non-porous, glazed
surface which prevents and deters plaque
accumulation. This allows the gums around
your veneers to stay in the "Pink" of
health.
- They do
not discolor nor stain.
- The PLVs
have a contact lens effect hence merging
into the tooth so one cannot distinguish
the laminate from your natural tooth;
therein lies the beauty of your bonded
veneers.
How Is It Done
You require only 2 office
visits. The teeth will be prepared and
an impression made in the first visit.
Porcelain Laminate Veneers which are thin
shells of porcelain. During the 2nd visit
