Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry Starts with Healthy Teeth

At Make Dental Clinic, laminate veneers are not about removing things, but about adding beauty.

| 1. Do I need laminate veneers too? |

Hello, I’m Director Ahn Young-seok of Make Dental Clinic.

Do I need laminate veneers too?

Recently, I’ve been hearing this question often in the clinic.

Laminate veneers are popular because they can quickly improve visibly concerning dental issues from an aesthetic standpoint,

but they are not always necessary.

The condition of the teeth, the oral structure, and the patient’s expectations all need to be considered.

That is why Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry does not recommend them unconditionally,

and instead works together with patients to find the best method for them.

This is so we can honestly answer the question, “What is best for my teeth?”

| 2. If you are concerned about color, shape, or gaps |

Laminate veneers are a good option when you want the color or shape of your teeth

to be restored naturally.

For example, they are suitable when teeth are naturally yellowish,

or when whitening does not improve the appearance,

and they can also simply close gaps between front teeth

to create a more natural impression.

They may also help with slightly chipped teeth or asymmetrical teeth.

However, even in these cases, you should also consider a method that minimizes

the amount of tooth reduction.

Looking “beautiful” is important,

but since “healthy” must come first,

the ideal result is to achieve the desired outcome without harming your natural teeth.

We are confident enough to transparently disclose even photos after tooth reduction — that is Make Dental Clinic’s honesty.

| 3. Let’s preserve healthy teeth as much as possible |

On the other hand, if the teeth are healthy and only have slight issues with color or alignment,

it may be better not to do laminate veneers.

Recently, a patient visited us,

and we determined that improvement would be sufficient without laminate veneers,

so we recommended partial whitening and orthodontic treatment.

As a result, we achieved a natural improvement,

and the patient said, “It was better because I could keep my teeth as they were.”

As such, unnecessarily reducing or damaging teeth can be a disadvantage in the long term,

so it should be chosen carefully only when truly necessary.

At Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry, we put dental health first

and help you make wise choices.

| 4. Treatment choices vary depending on tooth condition |

Therefore, the treatment method inevitably varies depending on the patient’s tooth condition, age group,

and lifestyle habits.

If there is severe discoloration and your lifestyle makes it difficult to maintain whitening,

laminate veneers may be appropriate,

whereas

if your habits are good and there is not much color change,

a simple prosthetic restoration or minor orthodontic treatment may be sufficient.

Because it is truly important to consider the shape and function of the teeth,

as well as usage patterns,

rather than simply thinking about “beautiful front teeth,”

we do our best to carefully look at each person’s daily life

and find the right method for them.

With enough communication with each patient, we achieve the most satisfying results.

| 5. We honestly tell you whether it is really necessary |

That is why Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry

does not unconditionally say, “Get laminate veneers.”

There are also cases where we say,

“You don’t really need to do it.”

Because of this, many patients feel greater trust in us.

Not providing excessive treatment unconditionally,

that is the principle we uphold.

When you come in for a consultation, we clearly and honestly distinguish

between what is truly necessary and what is not.

I think this may be the real standard for choosing a good dental clinic.

We sincerely consider each person’s situation,

and our goal is to help you maintain a healthy smile for 5 or even 10 years from now.

Sincere consultations from our medical staff: we listen to your concerns and find the answer.

| 6. Decide on laminate veneers carefully |

Once laminate veneers are done,

they cannot be reversed.

That is why, before making a decision,

a sufficient consultation and careful consideration are necessary.

If you choose simply because it looks “pretty,”

you may regret it later.

One patient came to us after quickly getting laminate veneers at another clinic,

but was unhappy with the color and shape, and then visited our clinic.

Redoing the treatment is much more difficult than the first procedure,

and in many cases it requires more cost and time.

So it is important to decide carefully and thoroughly from the beginning,

and Make Dental Clinic helps you reach a decision with confidence through sufficient consultation.

| 7. We measure tooth reduction down to 0.001 mm |

Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry actively uses digital dentistry technology.

By 3D-scanning the face and oral cavity,

we can precisely measure the amount of tooth reduction in units of 0.001 mm.

This helps minimize unnecessary tooth reduction,

so natural teeth can be preserved as much as possible.

What used to be done based on a rough estimate

can now be quantified and explained clearly,

so patients can understand more easily by looking at the scan data together,

and their trust in the results can also increase.

It is so reassuring to know the exact amount of reduction.

Because once a tooth is damaged, it cannot be restored,

this level of precision is more important than anything else.

Make Dental Clinic shows you the results in advance and designs them while fully reflecting the patient’s opinion.

| 8. Check the results before the procedure |

In addition, with the 3D Smile Preview system,

you can see the results before the procedure.

I would be so happy if it really turned out like this.

Because the simulation lets you check in real time

the tooth shape, alignment, and color that suit your face,

you can decide on treatment properly without vague anxiety.

It is a way to narrow the gap between the patient’s expectations and the actual results,

and to give you confidence after treatment that “this is exactly what I wanted.”

That way, you can choose the tooth style that suits you best,

and satisfaction with the result becomes much higher.

The process of creating the most natural and harmonious result for me,

Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry is with you.

| 9. Customized laminate veneers tailored to your teeth |

We do not simply make them white unconditionally.

We recommend a natural and harmonious tooth color based on each person’s skin tone,

lip color, and other factors.

Truly good laminate veneers are not noticeable;

they create teeth that shine naturally.

Teeth that look like my own, but prettier —

that is what truly successful laminate veneers are.

Much more naturally and beautifully,

come for your personalized consultation now at Gangnam Aesthetic Dentistry.

We will do our best to help you smile with more confidence.

Feel free to book a consultation,

and find your own smile line.

Thank you.
