A Place That Considers the Health of Your Teeth for Veneers

My chipped front tooth is so unattractive

that I keep noticing it ㅜㅜ

I’m thinking about getting veneers,

but I heard they shave down a lot of the tooth

and I’m worried it might break easily ㅜㅜ

When front teeth need aesthetic improvement, many patients seem to look into veneers.

In the past, veneers were simply synonymous with cosmetic tooth reshaping that made teeth look nicer, so people mainly sought them for aesthetic improvement. But now, it seems more and more people are looking for veneers that also consider the health of the teeth.

However, there was an unavoidable issue... namely, that some of the natural tooth surface had to be removed before getting veneers.

This was because the restoration needed to bond well to the tooth surface, and there also had to be enough space for the restoration to be placed.

But in this process, the tooth could end up being damaged further, and in some cases, unnecessary amounts of the surface were shaved away.

At that point, even after getting veneers, various side effects could occur, which could drastically reduce satisfaction. (Of course, that would also make aftercare for the veneers difficult.)

Because patients are already well aware of the downside of veneers, which can come with side effects, they tend to look for and prefer veneer methods that require very little damage to the natural tooth in the first place, or none at all.

So what should you focus on when looking at a dental clinic that performs this kind of treatment? Let’s take a closer look in the following sections.

For the most harmonious aesthetics

we do a ‘custom redesign’

First of all, to achieve the excellent aesthetics that veneers cannot do without, we carried out ‘prosthetic customization.’

In some cases, veneer restorations were designed in a standardized shape that fit conventional aesthetic standards.

For example, they had a smooth surface as if neatly molded, a tooth line, and a pebble-like tooth appearance in a bright white tone.

But as many people know, each person has their own unique characteristics.

So even if there is a standard aesthetic that can be considered the correct one, there is no guarantee that the same standard will work equally for everyone.

As a result, veneers sometimes came across as artificial or unnatural.

At ID Dental Clinic, we believed that the most lasting beauty ultimately begins with naturalness.

That is why we identified the aesthetic points that best suited each patient naturally and redesigned the veneer restoration itself.

To provide each patient with the most harmonious aesthetics, we analyzed every small detail that makes up the overall smile line.

This included the full oral structure the patient had, from the gum line and shape to the spacing between teeth, proportions, and size.

In addition, rather than using a simple white tone, we identified each patient’s personal tooth tone and combined the most natural shades to reflect them in the restoration. Because we matched the color while also considering skin tone, it could look much more natural and as if it were originally your own.

And by shaping the surface, overall form, and lines of the restoration so that they harmonized with the surrounding teeth, it could feel as though the veneers had been custom-made for me. When satisfaction rises from the process and system itself, that is when you can trust and continue going to that clinic.

As a result, the restoration was used and improved as a suitable solution in many areas, covering not only aesthetic issues such as a gummy smile, but also functional concerns like chipped teeth, imbalance, and gaps.

We make tooth function more solid

by achieving a ‘micro thinness’

But no matter how beautiful and precise the customization is, if the amount of tooth damage is excessive or too great, it ultimately loses its meaning.

Keeping tooth health in mind as well, we decided to shift our thinking toward making the veneer restoration itself thinner.

Rather than focusing on ‘how little, how minimally to shave the tooth,’ the idea was to make the restoration thinner, reduce unnecessary tooth damage from the start, and think about tooth health too.

And this also required highly refined technical skill.

Based on clinical experience since 2008, and with the expertise of veteran chief dental technicians combined, a new veneer treatment called ‘ID Mite’ was created: an ultra-micro fit restoration thinner than a contact lens.

Because it is based on advanced veneer fabrication technology, it can only be found at ID Dental Clinic.

When the restoration has a thin thickness, tooth damage can be reduced and naturalness can be enhanced, so we studied and considered it for a long time.

However, one concern that many patients have is durability—namely, whether something that thin might be more prone to damage.

ID Dental Clinic’s ID Mite is meticulously handcrafted by a chief dental technician who is skilled through years of experience.

Therefore, it is made firmly without the risk of fracture. If something is made thin only to break easily, that would amount to nothing in the end. That is why we always devoted our full attention to creating restorations that could be advantageous both aesthetically and in terms of durability.

In fact, the thin thickness provides excellent bonding to the tooth surface, allowing it to adhere to the natural tooth as if it were one seamless piece.

Because it fits closely to my teeth, it has thin but strong durability, and after the restoration is placed, we also provide careful follow-up through regular checkups, so there is no need to worry too much.

Today, we looked at the points worth checking before getting veneers.

Dental treatment should be done properly the first time. Repeated treatment weakens the health of natural teeth and, in the long term, harms oral health.

That is why it is so important which doctor you see first and what kind of medical team treats you.

Our teeth do not simply serve an aesthetic function; they play one of the most important roles in the body and are closely linked to overall health.

Only with strong, healthy teeth can you eat freely without restrictions, healthy chewing stimulates the brain, and sufficient nutrients are supplied.

If you had been viewing veneers only as a way to improve aesthetics, I hope today’s post can help you choose a dental clinic.

If you find a place that not only improves dental problems well but also treats them with the health of the teeth in mind, it can stay with you as your regular dental clinic for a long time afterward.

So it would be good to look closely at the process as well and choose your clinic carefully.
