Samsung Jungang Station One-Day Laminates—Can They Really Be Completed in One Day? We Confirmed It at Sera Dental Clinic

Hello :) Today, I’d like to talk about one-day laminates, which many people are curious about. 😊

“Can laminates really be completed in just one day?”

Many people are skeptical when they first hear this. However, at Sera Dental Clinic near Samsung Jungang Station, we actually complete laminates on the same day. Today, I’ll honestly explain the secret behind this and how the process works.

Why One-Day Laminates Are Possible

Normally, laminates take at least one to two weeks because the process involves preparing the teeth → taking impressions → sending them to a dental laboratory for fabrication → returning to have them bonded.

However, Sera Dental Clinic has completely changed this formula. That is because we directly operate an in-house dental laboratory, Ceradento Lab.

What difference does it make to have a laboratory inside the clinic?

• The treatment room and laboratory are in the same space → the dentist and dental technician can communicate in real time

• No travel time to and from an external laboratory → fabrication and bonding can be completed on the same day

• Direct fabrication by a professional dental technician team with 25 years of experience → no compromise on quality

We are often asked, “Doesn’t making them quickly reduce the quality?” However, the key point of Sera Dental Clinic’s one-day treatment is not to make them “quickly,” but that they can be made quickly because the laboratory is located inside the clinic.

The One-Day Laminate Process

Let me explain how the process actually works.

① Consultation and design decision – This is the time to design the desired tooth color, shape, and length together. Rather than simply saying, “Please make them look pretty,” we design a smile line that suits your facial shape and lip line.

② Tooth preparation (minimal reduction) – Sera Dental Clinic follows the principle of one-on-one customized minimal tooth reduction. How much tooth structure is removed is directly related to the naturalness of the result, so this is the most important step. The difference begins with precision down to 0.1 mm.

③ Immediate fabrication in the in-house laboratory – The laminates are fabricated directly in the laboratory right next to the treatment room. The dentist and dental technician communicate frequently while matching the color and shape.

④ Bonding after final confirmation – Before bonding, we carefully check the color, shape, and occlusion—the way the upper and lower teeth come together. If there is anything you are even slightly dissatisfied with at this stage, adjustments can be made immediately.

⑤ Completion on the same day – The entire process is completed within one day.

Now, let me show you a sample case. This is a case I treated personally for a patient who came to me after looking for a dental clinic experienced in laminates. The top photo shows the teeth before treatment, the second shows them after minimal reduction, and the last shows them after the laminates were bonded.

As you can see, this case involved brightening the color while respecting the natural tooth shape as much as possible, and partially improving only the black triangle area between the central teeth. The patient first had the teeth aligned with Invisalign clear aligners before undergoing the laminate procedure. It is the kind of “orthodontics first, laminates afterward” case I like.

After Laminate Treatment, Regular Checkups Are Important

Many people have concerns like these when considering laminates.

“What if a problem occurs later?”

Laminates are a treatment that you may live with for 10 years or more once they are placed. Therefore, even after bonding, it is important to have regular checkups to periodically assess your occlusion, gum condition, and the condition of the restorations. At Sera Dental Clinic, we provide thorough guidance on follow-up care through regular checkups after treatment.
