Hello.
I’m Kim Yu-na, the head doctor of Claire Dental Clinic, and I’m truly passionate about laminate.
These days, there are really a lot of inquiries about Gangnam laminate consultations.
If you look at the cast members of Netflix’s Single’s Inferno, there are quite a few people who have had laminate.
Many people also look for recommended Gangnam laminate clinics to improve their image, just like celebrities on TV.
But there is one important fact!
For laminate,
“Where you do it” matters less than
“Whether it suits you.”
The Most Important Thing in a Gangnam Laminate Consultation: Choosing the Color
Many people say this when they come in for a laminate consultation.
“I want it to look natural.”
“I’m worried that something too white might look unnatural.”
But after doing consultations for a long time,
the most common thing people say after the procedure is this!!
“I should have gone a little brighter…”
✔ For these people, choosing a brighter shade is recommended
You have often felt that your teeth look yellow
You can’t open your mouth very wide in photos
You want a clear change in your image
The purpose of Gangnam laminate is not to ‘keep things natural,’ but to ‘upgrade your image.’
In this case, rather than an ambiguous off-white shade,
choosing a brighter tone leads to higher satisfaction.
Now let’s briefly talk about the materials~
Various materials are used in Gangnam laminate procedures.
There were ceramic laminate and zirconia laminate.
Ceramic laminate has transparency similar to natural teeth,
which gives it a natural aesthetic result.
Because it allows light to pass through,
it can preserve the original feel of the teeth.
Now, back to the main point.
A brighter tone is recommended,
but not a “toilet color” shade!!!
Here’s the important point.
Choose a bright color,
but you should not want a matte, artificial white.
During consultation, it’s good to say something like this:
“I want it bright, but I’d like to keep the translucency.”
“Please make it feel like it has a glow in natural light.”
Laminate is not simply a procedure that attaches a white plate.
The translucency of the ceramic
Internal layering
The color of the adhesive (resin cement)
The depth of tooth reduction
These four factors combine to determine the final color.
In particular, if a translucent adhesive is used, your natural tooth shade will subtly show through,
creating a result with a bright surface and depth inside.
The satisfaction with Gangnam laminate results differs greatly between people who know this difference and those who do not.

Please look forward to it
A beautiful smile is an important factor that determines first impressions.
In particular, these days more and more people are becoming interested in Gangnam laminate procedures to improve the color or shape of their teeth.
Not only can it simply make teeth whiter,
but it can also naturally refine the overall smile line,
which is why Gangnam laminate has become one of the more commonly chosen aesthetic dental treatments.
When the alignment of the teeth is slightly irregular or the shape of the front teeth is unsatisfying,
the fact that it can change the mood of the smile in a relatively short period of time
is also one of the reasons many people are interested.
Gangnam laminate is performed by lightly refining the tooth surface
and then attaching a thin ceramic tip to the front of the tooth.
Because it can improve both the color and shape of the teeth at the same time,
it is often used in front-tooth cosmetic treatment.
It can help naturally improve small spaces between teeth,
slightly uneven alignment,
discolored teeth, and more.
In addition, because it can express a color and translucency similar to natural teeth,
it played an important role in balancing the overall smile.
Gangnam laminate procedures are carried out systematically step by step.
First, a precise diagnosis was performed
to accurately check the condition of the patient’s teeth.
Through an oral examination and X-ray imaging,
the presence of cavities or gum disease was checked,
and the condition of the teeth was evaluated to see whether laminate was possible.
After that, through consultation with the medical staff,
the color, shape, and extent of improvement for the teeth were determined.
Considering both the image of the smile the patient wants
and the tooth structure,
a suitable design was planned.
Once the treatment plan was finalized,
the process of lightly refining the tooth surface began.
It was done by adjusting only an extremely thin layer
so that the laminate could fit naturally.
Recently, depending on the condition of the teeth,
there have also been cases where the procedure was done with minimal reduction or without reduction.
After that, impressions were taken to create a tooth model,
and based on this, laminate suited to the patient was made.
The completed laminate was precisely attached to the teeth,
naturally completing the overall smile line.
