Veneers/Laminates
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description:
Veneers and laminates are popular cosmetic dental procedures designed to enhance the appearance of teeth by correcting imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. Both procedures involve bonding a thin layer of material to the surface of the teeth, but they differ in composition and application. Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, while laminates are even thinner and usually made from porcelain.
Veneers are custom-made to match the natural look and feel of teeth, offering a durable solution for improving both aesthetics and function. The process begins with a detailed consultation, where the dentist assesses the patient's dental health and discusses their cosmetic goals. Once a treatment plan is established, a small portion of the enamel is often removed to make space for the veneers. After this, the dentist takes impressions of the teeth, which are used to create custom veneers. Finally, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a strong adhesive.
Laminates, on the other hand, require less or no enamel removal, making them a more conservative option. They are ultra-thin and can be applied directly to the teeth without extensive preparation. Like veneers, laminates are custom-designed to fit the shape and size of the teeth, giving them a natural appearance. Both treatments can address multiple aesthetic concerns, from masking stains to correcting minor alignment issues, providing patients with a smile makeover.
Procedure Duration:
The duration of getting veneers or laminates varies depending on the complexity of the case, the number of teeth being treated, and the type of material used. Generally, the entire process for veneers can take two to three visits over the course of two to four weeks. The first appointment typically involves the initial consultation, treatment planning, and preparation of the teeth. In cases where enamel removal is required, this step takes place during the first visit, followed by the creation of molds for custom veneers.
Once the veneers are fabricated—usually within a week or two—the patient returns for a second appointment. During this visit, the dentist will bond the veneers to the teeth. A third visit may be scheduled for a follow-up to ensure the veneers are properly fitted and functioning well.
Laminates may take slightly less time since they require minimal tooth preparation. The process typically spans one to two visits, with a shorter recovery period. Patients can expect mild sensitivity for a few days after the procedure, but there is generally no significant downtime. Most individuals can return to normal activities immediately, although it's important to follow the dentist’s aftercare instructions for optimal results.
In terms of longevity, veneers made of porcelain can last 10-15 years with proper care, while composite veneers have a shorter lifespan of 5-7 years. Laminates, being thinner, may require periodic adjustments, but when well-maintained, they too can provide long-lasting results.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Veneers and laminates can drastically improve the appearance of your smile by correcting discoloration, chips, and gaps.
- Durability: Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly durable and can last over a decade with proper care.
- Minimal Invasiveness: Laminates require little to no tooth enamel removal, making them a conservative cosmetic option.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are resistant to staining from common culprits like coffee, tea, and wine.
- Customizable: Veneers and laminates are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.

Risks & Considerations:
- Tooth Sensitivity: Post-procedure sensitivity to hot and cold beverages is common, especially if enamel was removed during preparation.
- Chipping or Cracking: Although veneers and laminates are durable, they can chip or crack if not cared for properly or subjected to excessive force.
- Irreversibility: Veneers often require enamel removal, making the procedure irreversible. Once applied, the natural teeth cannot be restored to their original state.
- Color Mismatch: While veneers are color-matched to natural teeth, changes in tooth color over time can cause a mismatch between natural teeth and veneers.
- Replacement: Veneers and laminates, despite being long-lasting, are not permanent. Patients should be prepared for eventual replacement or repair.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital:
Selecting the right doctor and facility for your veneers or laminates procedure is crucial for ensuring both safety and success. When choosing a dentist, look for a professional with specific expertise in cosmetic dentistry, particularly in veneers and laminates. It’s important to verify their qualifications, experience, and success rate with similar cases. Reading reviews from previous patients can provide valuable insights into the dentist's skills and the clinic’s service quality.
Additionally, consider the dental facility's accreditation and the technologies they use. Modern equipment and materials are essential for achieving optimal results, so choose a clinic that invests in up-to-date technologies. While cost is an important factor, the quality of care and the dentist’s experience should be your primary considerations. Prioritize clinics with international patient services to ensure you receive the best care tailored to medical tourists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
