Did?: Did you mean to ask how dependable is dental laminate material? Depends on your occlusion and function. To place laminates surface of teeth have to be prepared, then laminates require care and eventual replacement. A less invasive approach might be tooth alignment done by an Orthodontic Specialist.

Composite laminate: Composite laminates veneer can be easily applied to the anterior teeth surface by a dentist who uses a composite material, which is cured by light and then polished. This procedure is not very durable and can be done in one day. Porcelain Veneers are more durable, last much longer and require minimal maintenance. See your dentist for more information.

Durable?: Do you mean how durable are they? composite laminates are durable but not as durable as ceramic laminates. Composite laminates can wear and stain over time whereas ceramic doesn't. To increase longevity avoid opening things with your teeth, cut hard fruits like apples and pears in slices dont bite the whole fruit, avoid corn on the cobb and other foods that stress the front teeth.
