Gangnam Laminate Dentistry Recommendation: Aesthetic Prosthetic Treatment to Restore the Function of Worn Teeth

Hello.

I am Ha Hyeon, the director of 더스타치과의원 in Gangnam.

In my previous columns,

I discussed the problems that can result from neglecting gum disease and tooth wear.

In this column, I would like to explain how advanced wear and discoloration can actually be restored,

using a case we recently worked on together on MBC <기분좋은날>.

A dental age of 45,

yet the marks of time could not be avoided

The patient I met on the program was cheerful and full of energy, to the point that it was hard to believe she was 80 years old.

She had also taken such good care of her teeth that she had previously received a diagnosis of a “dental age of 45” during a periodontal examination.

However, no matter how well you care for your teeth,

it is difficult to completely prevent the marks left by many years.

A detailed examination using precision X-rays and a 3D oral scan showed that the teeth had undergone considerable wear.

As the outer surfaces had become thinner and the inner tooth structure had been exposed, discoloration had also developed.

When she told me that she had unconsciously begun covering her mouth whenever she smiled,

I resolved to help her regain not only attractive teeth, but also a confident smile and self-assurance.

Why “minimal reduction” is key

When people hear the word laminates,

many first worry that their teeth may become sensitive or weakened

because too much tooth structure is removed.

Preserving the natural teeth that remain is especially important as we age.

At 더스타치과, based on 3D scan data,

we precisely smooth only the discolored and worn surfaces

in 0.01 mm increments,

and follow the principle of “minimal-reduction laminates,”

bonding thin ceramic tips that reproduce the strength and translucency of natural teeth.

The key is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible

while addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns.

Laminates are not

an aesthetic procedure only for younger people

I can still vividly remember how brightly she smiled while looking in the mirror after the procedure.

Many people leave tooth wear and discoloration that develop with age untreated, considering them a natural part of aging.

However, worn teeth not only reduce chewing function, but can also make the area around the mouth appear sunken, making the overall impression look darker.

Laminates restore the original shape of teeth that have been worn away,

help recover their function, and help bring back the smile that was lost.

They are an anti-aging treatment for the teeth.

In an era when people live to 100,

on the journey to regaining a healthy smile
