Hello. This is Lucid Dental Clinic.
The moment your teeth show when you smile, many people
find themselves paying more attention than expected to
the shape or color of their teeth. In particular, even a small gap or a slight difference in the shape of the front teeth
can affect the overall impression,
so even minor details can easily become a concern.
However, treatments that significantly damage the teeth can feel burdensome, and
many people also want to preserve a natural-looking change,
so they often wonder which method to choose.
When you are considering an aesthetic improvement
while wanting to reduce the burden,
Lucinate can be considered as one option.

What is Lucinate?
Nonhyeon-dong Dental Clinic Lucinate is an aesthetic prosthetic treatment
that attaches a thin ceramic restoration to the outer surface of the teeth to naturally improve
the color, shape,
and minor alignment of the teeth.
After carefully checking the condition of each person’s teeth,
the teeth are prepared within the necessary scope and the procedure is carried out,
with the design created in consideration of harmony with the shape of the natural teeth.
It is especially often considered in cases where there is a slight gap between the teeth,
when the edges are chipped, or when the overall color is uneven,
making it a treatment that is often considered when there are multiple aesthetic concerns.

Precautions After Lucinate
Since Nonhyeon-dong Dental Clinic Lucinate is a treatment in which post-procedure
care is important, it is best to follow a few precautions in daily life.
- It takes about 2 days for the adhesive to fully harden
Lucinate is bonded to the teeth using adhesive,
so it takes time for the bond to stabilize at the beginning.
For about 2 days after the procedure, it is best to
eat mainly soft foods, and we recommend avoiding sticky foods or foods that are
too cold or too hot as much as possible.
- Be sure to visit the clinic after one week for a checkup
After a certain period has passed following the procedure, you may notice slight catching or changes in your bite.
At this time, it is important to visit the clinic about one week later for an examination
in order to reduce discomfort and maintain a stable condition.
- Some sensitive teeth may experience sensitivity for 2 weeks to 2 months
In some sensitive teeth, sensitivity may be felt for 2 weeks to as long as 2 months after the procedure.
This is a natural response, and because Lucinate follows the principle of minimal tooth reduction,
it usually improves gradually over time.
If the sensitivity worsens even after more than 2 months,
treatment such as root canal treatment or bite adjustment may be necessary, so please visit the clinic.

- Clean at home once a day with a water flosser
To maintain Lucinate for a long time, regular care is very important. Use a water flosser once a day
to keep the spaces between teeth clean,
and for brushing, we recommend the Bass method, which gently cleans the boundary between the gums and teeth.
Also, it is best to maintain oral hygiene through regular scaling every 3 to 6 months.
- After about 2 to 3 months, the overall tone may appear slightly darker
About 2 to 3 months after the procedure, the overall tone may appear slightly calmer.
This does not mean the Lucinate itself is discoloring; rather, as the internal adhesive stabilizes,
the original tooth color subtly shows through the thin restoration,
so it is a natural process of change,
and there is no need to worry too much.
- Refrain from habits that are harmful even to natural teeth
Using the front teeth to tear tough foods or opening bottle caps
can strain not only natural teeth but also Nonhyeon-dong Dental Clinic Lucinate. Because such habits can lead to
fracture or detachment of the restoration,
care is needed in daily life.

- You may feel a foreign-body sensation for about 2 weeks
For about 2 weeks after the procedure, you may feel a foreign-body sensation in your mouth.
In most cases, you will naturally get used to it over time,
and depending on the person, it often becomes comfortable within a month. It may take
from several months to as long as a year to become completely accustomed,
and this is the process by which the teeth and the restoration naturally harmonize.
- Wearing a device
If you usually grind your teeth or clench your jaw,
it is helpful to wear a dedicated device while sleeping.
Continuous pressure can affect the restoration, so it is important to protect it in advance.
Nonhyeon-dong Dental Clinic Lucinate is not simply a treatment that
makes teeth whiter, but an aesthetic treatment that considers overall balance and harmony,
so it is important to pay attention to post-procedure care as well.
Since even a small habit can affect the duration of maintenance and satisfaction,
we recommend referring to the precautions provided and consistently managing your teeth.
Because the appropriate method and care direction can vary depending on the condition of your teeth and your lifestyle habits,
it is necessary to establish a plan that suits you through 충분한 consultation.
At Lucid Dental Clinic, we carefully check each person’s dental condition
and provide attentive treatment in a direction that considers natural-looking results.
If you want a more comfortable and stable change,
please feel free to consult with us and check your current condition.
