Laminate veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth with minimal — sometimes no — removal of enamel. As the most conservative veneer option, they brighten and refine the smile while preserving more of your natural tooth.

The most common questions about this treatment
Laminate veneers are ultra-thin and need little or no enamel removed, making them the most conservative option. Standard porcelain veneers are slightly thicker and usually need a small amount of preparation. Your dentist advises which suits your teeth.
Because minimal or no enamel is removed, laminate veneers are more tooth-preserving than other options, but they are bonded restorations and are generally considered a long-term choice rather than something to remove casually.
Yes. They are thin and translucent and shade-matched to your teeth, giving a natural, subtle enhancement. Digital design lets you preview the result.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups they can last many years. Avoiding biting hard objects and using a night guard if you grind your teeth helps them last.
Like other veneers they usually take two visits, so most international patients stay about 5–7 days while the veneers are crafted and bonded.

Laminate veneers are wafer-thin shells, thinner than standard porcelain veneers, designed to need little or no tooth preparation. They are ideal for subtle improvements in colour, shape and minor alignment, and because so little enamel is touched they are the most tooth-preserving veneer choice for suitable cases.
Laminate veneers are usually completed in two visits:
Design — the smile is planned and shade and shape chosen with you.
Minimal preparation — little or no enamel is removed; a scan or impression is taken.
Crafting — ultra-thin veneers are made and shade-matched in the laboratory.
Bonding — the veneers are checked and bonded gently to the front of the teeth.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
Have minor discolouration, small chips or slight shape concerns
Want the most tooth-preserving veneer option
Have healthy teeth and gums and enough enamel for bonding
Prefer a subtle, natural enhancement rather than a dramatic change
Have realistic expectations and good oral hygiene
Real patient outcomes from Marmara Health Center
Teeth may be left as-is or lightly protected; chew normally
Little to no sensitivity due to minimal prep
Eat normally with care; avoid biting hard objects
Good hygiene and check-ups keep veneers looking their best
Because so little enamel is removed, laminate veneers are gentle on the teeth; they are still bonded restorations and benefit from the same care as other veneers.
Laminate veneers are conservative and low-risk, but as bonded porcelain they can chip or come loose, especially with hard biting or grinding, and can be repaired or replaced. They suit subtle changes; significant misalignment, large gaps or very dark teeth may be better treated with standard veneers, crowns or orthodontics. Healthy teeth and gums are needed for good bonding.
