First of all, your tooth is prepared for the procedure and the residue on it is cleaned. An impression is then taken to obtain an exact replica of your tooth. The layer that will be bonded to your tooth is prepared from porcelain material. Finally, just like in adhesive systems (bonding), laminates are fused to the surface of the existing tooth with resin (an adhesive intermediate).
Laminates can be used without any problems for years with good oral care. . Because they are made of porcelain, which has superior properties than other adhesive systems (bonding).
