Laminates Treatment: Careful Decision-Making Is Important

How much do you know about laminate treatment? Many of you probably know that celebrities often get it to quickly improve the shape of their teeth and make them whiter. As such, laminates are one of the aesthetic treatments often chosen when whitening or orthodontic treatment is not easy to pursue. However, many people do not know in detail how laminate treatment is performed.

Before getting laminate treatment, it would be even better to understand what kind of treatment it is and what process it goes through. In addition, it is a good idea to learn in advance what to be careful about before the procedure and what aspects should be considered important.

What Is a Laminate?

A laminate is one of the aesthetic treatments performed on front teeth. It is a treatment in which the enamel, which forms the outermost layer of the tooth, is minimally reduced by about 0.1 mm, and then a thin ceramic prosthesis shaped like a tooth is attached. Because it can improve the shape, size, and color of teeth in a very short time, it can quickly solve problems for those concerned about their front teeth.

It is widely known as a procedure that many celebrities undergo because it can straighten overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, and discolored teeth while improving color and shape. At this point, what matters is that the procedure must be carried out after thoroughly reviewing each person’s tooth shape, proportions, and face line in order to achieve a more satisfying result.

As mentioned earlier, laminate treatment requires reduction of the tooth surface. What is important here is the amount of tooth reduction. The more reduction there is, the higher the likelihood of discomfort such as sensitivity. Also, as more tooth structure is removed, the tooth’s durability and lifespan decrease, so caution is needed.

That is why at Lainmamu Dental Hospital, we perform laminate treatment with minimal reduction of about 0.1 mm. We strive to achieve satisfying results while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible by reducing only the amount that is truly necessary.

Once the teeth have been properly shaped, the prosthesis must be made. In order to create a prosthesis that matches the surrounding teeth in shape and color while also achieving ideal aesthetics, the skill of the technician who makes it directly plays a very important role. At Lainmamu Dental Hospital, a dedicated aesthetic prosthetics technician with more than 15 years of experience personally fabricates the laminate prostheses.

They are made to be semi-transparent like real teeth while still showing the texture of the teeth, creating a premium design that differs very little from the surrounding natural teeth.

Because our teeth cannot be restored once they are damaged, any treatment must be accurate and safe. To do this, the experience and skill of the medical staff are essential. In particular, for aesthetic treatments such as laminates, the medical staff’s experience and expertise play an even more important role.

The reason is that better results can be achieved through the experience gained from treating patients. Therefore, before deciding on treatment, it is a good idea to carefully review the medical staff’s experience.

Because laminate treatment is a procedure that improves the aesthetics of teeth in a short time, many people expect the treatment period to be brief as well. Before digital equipment became widely available, prosthetic treatments like this did in fact take about a week.

At Lainmamu Dental, the introduction of CAD/CAM equipment has significantly reduced the fabrication time for prostheses. On the day of your visit, after examination and consultation, impressions can be taken and prosthesis fabrication can begin right away, helping you save time.
