Modern techniques and approaches have been introduced & a new work flow & protocol is recommended One of the most common aesthetic treatment is Porcelain laminate veneers. Thanks to the latest developments in the materials, bonding techniques & types of ceramics available nowadays, it is now possible to offer our patients a predictable aesthetic result with minimal compromise to the dental tissues.
