Hello.
I’m Kim Tae-hyung, chief director of Blanche Dental Clinic.
These days, many people are looking into no-prep veneers..
There are really a lot of them. Haha.
In the past, when people talked about veneer treatment, there was a strong perception that more than half of the tooth had to be shaved down.
But these days, as there are many stories about being able to look beautiful without shaving the teeth at all..
That alone may feel like a very attractive option.
However, when you actually start thinking about getting the procedure
“Isn’t it safe if no teeth are shaved?
Then why do people talk about side effects?”
Such worries can suddenly come up.
These are precious teeth, so it’s natural to wonder whether you might be deciding too hastily..?
I completely understand the hesitation.
I’m sure those of you reading this now
have similar concerns.
So today, I’d like to speak a little more honestly and in detail about the side effects of no-prep veneers..
And about the standards you should check to avoid regretting the procedure.
Please focus and follow along. Haha.

- Why do people talk about side effects of no-prep veneers?
Side effects of no-prep veneers

A few days ago, Ms. Choi Seo-eun, who appeared on <Single’s Inferno 2> and was crowned Miss Korea 2021, visited us ^^
No-prep veneers.
The idea that you can become more beautiful without shaving the teeth..
It really is an appealing phrase.
But after seeing a variety of cases in clinical practice..
Side effects of no-prep veneers appear more often than you might think.
In fact, there were not a few patients who came in after previously receiving veneer treatment and asked for a second or third treatment.
The most common problem is gum inflammation.
If the ceramic thickness or bonding position is not right..
Food can get trapped or bacteria can build up at the margin,
causing the gums to swell and hurt.
Also, many people feel that
‘My mouth looks more protruded.’
‘It feels awkward when I speak.’
In the end, when they are not satisfied with the treatment result,
they want to have it removed again..
but once veneers are firmly bonded, removal itself is not simple, and it can also damage the teeth.
What matters is not the treatment method itself, but the standards and skill with which that method is carried out.
I think that difference determines the quality of the result. Haha.
So in which parts do
those differences in standards and skill
appear?
From here, I’ll explain more specifically.

Depend on the technique.
Side effects of no-prep veneers
At Blanche, we do not start by looking at the teeth first.
To reduce side effects of no-prep veneers,
we carefully check the gum condition first.
How much of the teeth are visible when smiling.
Where the gum line extends..
The condition of the gums and whether there is any tartar that has not been removed, and so on.
If necessary, we first carry out gum treatment and then plan the no-prep veneers.
That is because if the gums are not healthy, even the most beautiful design is hard to maintain for long.
And the tooth design does not rely only on the naked eye or intuition.

Based on standards designed by a developer from Seoul National University, we use 3D scanner data to analyze down to 0.01 mm units.
Why do we look so precisely?
Because there is such a thing as the golden ratio in our teeth too.
The first teeth that stand out when you smile are the six front teeth (anterior teeth).
These teeth gradually get smaller from the center toward the sides.
In numbers, it looks like this.

If the width of the central incisor in the middle appears as 1.619, then when the lateral incisor next to it appears as 1, and the canine next to that appears as about 0.619..
the most natural and ideal smile line is completed.
To create a natural smile without worrying about side effects of no-prep veneers..
Blanche analyzes and applies even these minute proportions.

- Premium veneers,
Meet Blanche.
Side effects of no-prep veneers
Veneers are ultimately a treatment that is responsible for visual beauty.
That means the natural look, durability, and satisfaction can all change depending on which material is used.
At Blanche, to complete a thin and precise procedure without side effects of no-prep veneers..
we use Swiss feldspar ceramic.
At first, the name of this material may sound unfamiliar.
Some people ask,
“Is it just good because it’s imported?”
Haha.
But feldspar is not just a simple imported material.
It is a material suitable for no-prep veneers, making it possible to look naturally beautiful with almost no tooth reduction.


First of all, it has excellent light transmittance.
It does not look glossy or artificial under sunlight or lighting, and it blends naturally with the lips and gums.
In addition, its particles are very fine and uniform, allowing precise processing even to a thickness below 0.1 mm.
It also has strengths in resisting staining and discoloration, which many people worry about.
Because the surface of feldspar is dense and smooth, it can maintain a clear and clean look as if it had just been placed for a long time.
All of these advantages are possible because..
it is a product that has passed Swiss precision manufacturing technology and strict medical standards. Haha.
At Blanche, we use this material not simply because it is expensive or because it looks good.
Even with no-prep treatment, it is to satisfy everything:
stable bonding strength, natural gloss, and long-lasting esthetics..
The better the material, the different the result,
and only when that material is handled well
can it truly become a premium veneer. ^^

No-prep veneers are a good way to look more beautiful with less tooth reduction and a more natural result.
But because of that, they need to be approached even more delicately..
Only then can they lead to satisfying results for a long time without side effects of no-prep veneers.
To uphold those standards, Blanche carefully plans every step of the process, from design, material, and analysis to bonding.
Not just veneers that look pretty,
but a smile that becomes a work of art even as time passes.
That is the result we want to create. ^^
If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact us anytime.
We sincerely want to help brighten your smile.
Thank you. Haha.
Wishing for you to shine brightly,
