Laminate
Laminate
Laminate is a decorative and healing method for teeth that is used in the field of teeth beauty and small corrections. This process involves placing very thin layers of special materials (usually ceramic or resin veneers) on the front surface of the teeth. These layers usually match the size, shape and color of the original teeth and increase the beauty and attractiveness of the teeth.
Laminates can be used to solve various problems such as coloring, sizing, shaping and repairing minor defects in teeth. For example, if a person has improperly colored teeth, laminates can be used to change the color of the teeth to the desired color, as well as to cover dark or uneven spots on the teeth.
Applying laminates generally requires removing part of the outer surface of the teeth, so the process is irreversible. For this reason, it is imperative to consult with a dentist before deciding to use laminates so that the pros and cons of this process are fully explored and a fully informed decision is made.
Laminate in digital dentistry
Laminate in digital dentistry refers to the use of digital technologies in the production and application of laminates to improve the appearance of teeth. This new method allows the use of more advanced technologies such as 3D scanning systems and 3D modeling software for the precise design and production of laminates.
By using 3D scanning systems, the dentist can obtain accurate and 3D images of the teeth and the structure of the jaws, and then, using 3D modeling software, design laminates that are in perfect harmony with the original teeth.
With this method, accuracy and precision in the production and application of laminates is increased and more beautiful and natural results are obtained. Also, this method takes less time to prepare laminates and makes the treatment process faster.
In general, laminate in digital dentistry has achieved many improvements in the production and application of this method of decoration and healing of teeth and provides patients with an improvement in the beauty and appearance of their teeth.
Digital dentistry is increasingly replacing traditional dental methods, and laminate is no exception. Digital laminate uses advanced technologies to design, manufacture and install dental laminates.
Advantages of digital laminate
• Greater accuracy and predictability: Digital scans and 3D images provide more detailed information of the patient's teeth and jaw, allowing the dentist to design more accurate and better-fitting laminates.
• Greater patient comfort: Digital molding is used instead of traditional methods that can be uncomfortable.
• Reduction of treatment time: due to the use of new technologies, digital laminate treatment can be faster compared to traditional methods.
• Better results: due to more precision and planning, digital laminate can provide better treatment results.
The steps of digital lamination
• Examination and diagnosis: The dentist examines your teeth and chooses the best treatment method for you.
• Digital scan: A digital scan is taken of your teeth.
• Laminate design: Laminates are designed using computer software.
• Laminate production: Laminates are made using 3D printers or CNC milling machines.
• Laminate installation: Laminates are glued on the teeth.
The difference between digital and traditional laminate
• In digital laminate, digital scanning and 3D images are used instead of traditional molding.
• In digital laminate, laminates are designed using computer software and made using 3D printers or CNC milling machines.
• In digital laminate, there is less need to sharpen teeth.
• Digital lamination can be done in one session.
