Samjeon Station Dental Clinic: A Case of Improving Discolored Teeth with No-Prep Ove Zero Laminates

Hello!

This is Seoul Ove Dental Hospital.

When teeth become yellowish or grayish,

many people immediately think of whitening first.

However, staining or naturally dark tooth color often does not become lighter with whitening alone.

Today, we will discuss when Ove Zero Laminates may be helpful through a case in which long-standing discolored teeth were improved with Ove Zero Laminates.

Why the Patient Chose Ove Zero Laminates

The patient said that discoloration in the front teeth had bothered them for a long time.

Although they had tried whitening several times, certain teeth did not become noticeably lighter, leaving the overall tooth color uneven.

Long-standing staining remained on the surface, and the tooth shape was also slightly uneven, which the patient said made them self-conscious when smiling.

During the consultation, the patient learned that Ove Zero Laminates can be effective for discolored teeth that cannot be addressed with ordinary whitening and decided to proceed with treatment.

Detailed Diagnosis and Ove Zero Laminate Treatment Planning

Five specialists educated at Seoul National University collaborated on the case and carefully examined the condition of the teeth and gums using 3D CT and detailed oral examinations.

The treatment plan for Ove Zero Laminates was established by comprehensively considering the degree of discoloration, the extent of tooth reduction required, and color harmony with the adjacent teeth.

Ove Zero Laminates are a treatment that improves discoloration and tooth shape at the same time by minimally reducing the tooth surface and bonding thin ceramic veneers.

Ove Zero Laminate Treatment Process

First, only the necessary amount of the tooth surface was refined, focusing on the discolored areas, and a precise impression was taken.

The Ove Zero Laminates were then custom-made at the in-house dental laboratory, referring to the color and translucency of the adjacent teeth.

After checking the shade and thickness of the completed laminates again, they were bonded in place, and the bite was carefully adjusted to complete the treatment.

Because the laminates were made through the in-house dental laboratory, the color coordination could be checked several times, which contributed to a high level of satisfaction.

After Ove Zero treatment

Immediately after treatment, the patient experienced slight sensitivity, but it naturally subsided over the following days.

The patient said that the teeth they had been concerned about because of discoloration blended naturally with the adjacent teeth in a similar tone, making them feel much more comfortable when smiling.

However, even after laminate treatment, results and the duration of maintenance may vary depending on an individual’s oral condition and care habits. Regular checkups and care are therefore necessary.

Ove Zero Laminate Costs and Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of Ove Zero Laminates varies depending on the number of teeth requiring treatment, the degree of discoloration, and the amount of tooth reduction needed. Details are provided during a consultation after a detailed diagnosis.

We also receive many questions from patients concerned about pain. The procedure is performed after anesthesia, and sedation treatment may also be provided when necessary to help reduce the burden.

Ove Zero Laminates do not permanently prevent discoloration from recurring. Staining may develop again if care is neglected, so regular checkups are recommended.

If you have been concerned about discolored teeth for a long time, we recommend considering alternatives such as Ove Zero Laminates instead of repeatedly undergoing whitening without further consideration.

Seoul Ove Dental Hospital provides guidance on treatment options suited to each patient based on detailed diagnosis.
