After Laminate Veneers

Hello.

This is Blanc Dental Clinic, where your smile becomes a work of art.

Many people consider laminate veneers for a brighter smile,

but they hesitate because of the side effect known as an ‘overly protruding mouth’ after the procedure.

In particular, seeing celebrities’ treatment cases creates both expectations and concerns.

Today, we’ll explain the 기준 for successful laminate veneers that look natural without making the mouth appear protruded.

The photos patients most often bring to consultations are before-and-after images of celebrities’ procedures.

However, celebrities often undergo treatment with strong lighting and for long-distance filming in mind,

so the results can look a bit excessive in everyday settings.

For ordinary people, naturalness at conversational distance is far more important than glamour under lights.

It may seem like teeth would look prettier if they were simply white and large, but a procedure that does not consider a person’s skin tone or lip shape gives an artificial impression.

If the teeth are emphasized too much, not only can the mouth look protruded, but the harmony of the entire face is disrupted.

True aesthetic treatment begins with a customized design that compensates for weaknesses while bringing out strengths.

Recently, ‘no-prep laminate veneers’ have become trendy, but they cannot be applied to every case.

If the teeth are already slightly protruded, attaching restorations without any reduction

will push the lips forward by the thickness of the restorations.

To prevent an overly protruding mouth, the tooth position and angle must be considered, and the necessary amount of

minimal reduction should be performed.

Depending on whether the lips are thin or thick, and how the lip line changes when smiling,

the appropriate thickness of the restorations will differ.

Rather than simply shaping the teeth, the entire facial silhouette must be analyzed

to create the restorations.

Only when precise planning supports the treatment can a comfortable smile be completed without the mouth looking protruded.

Laminate veneers for celebrities often need to stand out under lighting, so they are frequently opaque and very white.

For ordinary people, however, translucency is needed to the point where it is indistinguishable from natural teeth under daylight.

The level of treatment is determined by how well the subtle translucency at the tooth edge and the surface texture are reproduced.

If the teeth themselves are protruded forward, there is a limit to what can be done with an add-on approach alone.

In such cases, the outer surface should be very slightly reshaped to adjust the tooth angle into the normal range,

and then laminate veneers should be placed so that the mouth does not appear protruded.

Blindly insisting on no-prep treatment out of vague fear of reduction can instead lead to dissatisfaction with the result.

No-prep laminate veneers are most suitable when the teeth are recessed inward, such as in small teeth.

If you ignore your own dental condition and choose no-prep simply by following the trend,

the teeth may become too thick, causing speech leakage or gum inflammation.

It is safer to consult a specialist and receive a scientific diagnosis of whether reduction is truly necessary for your teeth.

Blanc Dental Clinic uses simulation based on 3D scan data for laminate veneers that avoid an overly protruding mouth.

We predict in advance how much the lips will lift when the restorations are placed, and how the side-profile line will change,

then determine the amount of reduction accordingly.

Our expertise lies in prioritizing the preservation of natural teeth while identifying the most beautiful facial harmony.

Laminate veneers are not simply a procedure for making teeth whiter,

but a delicate process of balancing the face.

Rather than focusing on “whether to reduce or not,” focus on “how natural it is for me.”
