Composites are made of resin materials and are less durable compared to laminate and usually have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years, which can be a bit longer in terms of laminate care... than painting. Another difference between dental composite and dental laminate is their resistance to color. Laminate is resistant to color change and its color remains the same even after several years. But composite may turn a little yellow or dark over time due to the consumption of substances such as coffee, tea, and cigarettes. Composite is made of composite resin, which is a combination of polymer materials and ceramic particles. It makes it more transparent.. these two methods are also different from each other in terms of execution techniques.... to install the tooth laminate, the dentist first cuts some of the tooth enamel (about 0.3 to 0.7 mm.. sufficient space is not necessary to install the laminate.. the tooth enamel does not sharpen, or at least sharpens... the composite material is placed directly on the tooth and the dentist performs the shaping... finally the composite using laser light or light cure It is hardened and then polished Another difference between dental composite and dental laminate is the difference in their ability to be repaired... Dental laminate cannot be repaired if cracked or broken and must be completely replaced... Dental composite is easily repairable and in case of scratches, wear or breakage, it can be repaired again by adding a new layer of composite... ### The difference between dental laminate and dental composite in terms of price In general, the price of dental composite is lower than laminate.. because it is formed directly on the tooth and there is no need to prepare it in the laboratory....
