WHY ARE PORCELAIN LAMINATES EXPENSIVE?

Turkey Medicals – popular applications in cosmetic dentistry can cost a little more. The quality of materials used in applications, technology and a successful team also affect and increase the cost.

Nowadays, many people who are looking for a radiant smile have decided that the best way to achieve smooth and white teeth is porcelain laminates. This was revealed by a survey commissioned by a clinic in Antalya.

However, the price difference with the classic fillers and coatings surprised the learners a lot. In order to understand the reason for the high price on a coating, it is necessary to understand how it is made, who makes it, what material it uses and how it protects the teeth.

.
SUBSTANCES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO COLOR

According to the common opinion of dentists in Lara and Sirinyali Muratpasa; it looks expensive, although porcelain veneers and laminates, beautiful and aesthetic stance, that it protects our teeth from further damage as well as actually a very viable alternative.

Laminates are fine particles made of porcelain or resin materials that are glued to your front teeth. For broken, colored, crossed, intermittent, turned or somehow disfigured teeth, these veneers can create permanent and beautiful smiles that will last for years.

Laminates are popular options for people who want perfect smiles, as they are difficult-to-color materials.

There are two types of veneers:
.

Porcelain (indirect) veneers. This restoration is done in a private laboratory to suit your tooth and you need to go to your Turkish doctor at least twice. it can be used for up to 10-15 years. Porcelain veneers in Turkey, which are more expensive than their alternatives, are options that can offer more precise and realistic color harmony with the side teeth.

.

Composite (direct) veneers: This restorations is performed by gluing composite resin to your teeth in one session. Composite veneers in Turkey have a lower cost, but they often have to be repeated or replaced with a porcelain version.

.
What does it involve to laminate?

First of all, your dentist will take the necessary diagnostic records (measurement, closing record, digital photo, etc.) it needs to determine if you are a good candidate for the veneers. It is possible to create your teeth with porcelain on their original models, the ideal aesthetic shape of the candle should be created, what can be done should be seen and it should be decided how much substance will be removed from the tooth according to this ideal wax model.

Then the teeth are numbed, the teeth are cut, the measurements are taken and temporary veneers are made.

The use of temporary veneers has the following advantage: the patient gets a chance to eat, laugh and check whether he is comfortable during the conversation by installing a rougher version of the restoration, which will be performed in the final. If he is not comfortable, he will have a chance to correct and make changes before making the final version. Within a few weeks, the laminates are glued to the tooth, polished and given their final form.

.
BEING POPULAR INCREASES THE COST

Of course, the main thing that people have with veneers is that porcelain veneers and laminates are higher than basic dentistry applications.

December 2021, the Euro range was increased to 1000-3000 euros in Switzerland and 800-3000 dollars in the USA, respectively.

The technology used in Turkey; material, technician quality and physician quality and awareness come across at much more open-range prices.

For example, it is emphasized that the high prices in places such as New York, Florida, Zurich are due to the fact that popular cosmetic dentists have popular customers in popular areas.

This may also be a passing factor for our country. But the main thing is to work with a dentist who has a good and high-quality material, good technology, a good practitioner, a dentist who best prepares teeth in accordance with standards, takes measurements and has an aesthetic vision.

Aesthetic practices in dentistry may differ depending on the needs of each patient. Height, color, shape; it should be adjusted harmoniously with the patient’s facial measurements and skin color. Although the experience of the dentist is very much according to the patient, the wishes of the patients should not be ignored.

The patient may want a very white tooth, the doctor should try to make that whiteness look natural with a natural form instead of saying ‘he grins a lot’ and cutting off the patient’s front. It should be noted that many patients go to the dentist with the dream of white teeth.

.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PORCELAIN LAMINATES?

One of the biggest advantages is that there is little intervention in the teeth thanks to porcelain laminates.

Thanks to this, the shortening of the working time causes the patients to relax.

In addition, it is seen as a more conservative treatment for teeth due to the fact that there is minimal intervention.

Another advantage is that it is close to natural teeth due to the presence of light transmission. That is why it becomes easier to achieve a natural look.

There are also color options. It fits perfectly at the junction of the tooth and gum.

.
IT IS WEAR-RESISTANT

The reflection at the edge of the gum that occurs in porcelain bridges that are supported by metal does not occur in lamina porcelain. In addition, since there are no separate sessions such as metal proofing, polishing, zirconium, infrastructure proofing, the total treatment time is an application that lasts shorter. The proofing of laminated porcelain is carried out in polished form. Since they are made in porcelain furnaces with a high degree of polishing, they are resistant to abrasion. At the same time, it is not affected by substances such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, as well as dental calculus does not form on it.

.
IT IS PERSONAL

This aesthetic restorations produced from molds taken by the Turkish dentist (or with digital technology, the received measurements and 3D model produced printers) dental technician and the only way for you custom color that would suit you so they cannot be the result of the inability of mass production automated for restorations is that they’re expensive.

In addition to the cost of the material, the final price that a dentist will charge the patient depends on the design,

Muscle and intraoral application. This is a process that requires time, attention and skill.

The removal of dental tissue up to the thickness that the patient wants requires great skill and precision, too hard tissue should not be removed. Reducing teeth too much can increase retention and hot-cold sensitivity.
