Why Celebrity Laminates Look So Natural and Hard to Detect

Celebrity Laminates

Why They Look So Natural and Hard to Detect

Hello.

I am Kim Tae-hyung, chief director of Blanche Dental Clinic, designing lifelong healthy smiles for you without unnecessary treatment.

These days, in the treatment room, there are many patients who carefully show us photos of celebrities appearing on TV or YouTube and ask, “Doctor, please make mine look natural like this person’s.”

He is also handsome and shines in person! Haha

Ji-yeon Lee has such beautiful features.^^

Im Subin from 'Single's Inferno 5' and Ji-yeon Lee from 'Transit Love,' who are loved for their bright and charming smiles, have smiles that are truly natural and refined, whether seen in close-up on screen or while speaking face-to-face in person.

As a dentist, that makes me genuinely pleased.

So how can you have teeth that look natural like a celebrity’s?

Having teeth that are white and large does not automatically make them beautiful.

To complete a refined laminate that does not look awkward from any camera angle,

when choosing a dental clinic, you must ask whether they can design ‘this’.

Which clinic should you choose for natural-looking laminates that are not obvious?

The cause of laminates that look like Xylitol gum

Patients often think of teeth as flat, but in reality, our natural teeth have a perfect three-dimensional structure that is round and contoured.

If you carefully analyze the teeth of people with beautiful smiles, like the celebrities mentioned earlier, they share the common feature of having clearly visible curves and depth, much like a well-crafted sculpture.

On the other hand, the situation was completely different in the case of one idol patient who came to Blanche Dental Clinic for retreatment, saying the laminate she received at another dental clinic looked too artificial.

Her existing teeth were only white and flat, with no sense of depth at all, giving the uncomfortable impression of having white Xylitol gum lined up in a row.

As a result, she complained of a serious complex, saying her teeth looked excessively wide and her entire face looked broad and flat.

The reason such an old-fashioned design, far from sophisticated, appears is that the tooth surface was covered indiscriminately without a dental understanding of the boundary line that distinguishes the front and side surfaces of the tooth.

2. The core of naturalness,

The ‘Line Angle’ that handles light

At Blanche Dental Clinic, the part we are most particular about when designing laminates is the ‘Line Angle.’

The line angle refers to the three-dimensional boundary line where the front and side surfaces of a tooth meet.

At Blanche Dental Clinic, we do not simply straighten teeth in a one-dimensional way; we use light reflection to give teeth depth.

Depending on where this boundary line that catches the light (the line angle) is placed, the visual effect of the teeth changes completely.

• When you want a narrow and soft impression: If the line angle is positioned inward, closer to the center of the tooth, the teeth can appear much slimmer visually and create a more feminine image, even if the actual width of the tooth remains the same.

• When you want a firm and charismatic impression: If the line angle is moved outward and designed in a straight line, the teeth look fuller and create a more masculine and trustworthy impression.

It is not simply about choosing the size or color of the teeth.

I believe the standard of a skilled dentist is the ability to finely adjust the position of this line angle in 0.01 mm units to match the patient’s face shape and the image they want to pursue.

3. Designing the perfect balance where lines connect

It does not end with simply making the line angle well.

This subtle line must be organically and perfectly connected with the spaces between the teeth (embrasures), the contact points where the teeth touch, and the gum line.

In particular, when trying to fill in the black spaces between teeth known as ‘black triangles,’ simply increasing the tooth volume often destroys the sense of form.

It is important to comprehensively design complex tooth structures such as the contact point, emergence profile (the shape in which the tooth emerges from the gums), and cervical contour, so that the empty spaces are filled while still preserving a natural three-dimensional appearance.

In closing

Good laminates are not only pretty the moment you first look in the mirror; they are restorations that gradually blend naturally with your face over time and feel like your real teeth.

And that subtle difference comes from the ‘lines’ that bring out the depth of the teeth.

Rather than artificial laminates that produce the same shape like a factory, the patient's facial skeleton, lip line, and even the muscle movements when smiling...

Please visit a dental clinic that analyzes everything comprehensively

and proceed after a consultation.
