- If your laminate chips, don’t panic.
Hello.
I’m Ahn Young-seok, the chief director of Make Dental Clinic.
Whenever patients contact us to say that their laminate has chipped,
the first thing that comes to mind is
how upset and embarrassed they must feel.
If I were in that situation, I think I would
feel very flustered as well.
But in times like this,
it is important to stay a little calmer,
check the condition of the tooth accurately,
and respond quickly.
If it is left chipped for a long time,
it can lead not just to an aesthetic issue,
but to deeper tooth damage.

No-prep/minimal-prep laminate,
|is Make Dental Clinic’s philosophy for protecting your precious natural teeth.
That is why retreatment is not just about making the appearance pretty again;
it is an important treatment for protecting overall dental health.
So at the Apgujeong Station dental clinic,
we look after not only the patient’s anxiety,
but also restore the broken area quickly and precisely,
while bringing the overall harmony back into balance.
If your laminate has chipped or a problem has occurred,
please don’t worry too much
and feel free to tell us.

We provide personalized tooth design that takes into account
the patient’s facial shape, lip line, and smile habits.
- For retreatment, where and by whom you receive it matters most.
Because retreatment is more difficult than the first treatment,
it is important to entrust it to an experienced medical team.
After seeing a variety of cases,
I realized that most retreatment failures happen
when treatment is carried out in a hurry without an accurate diagnosis.
Since each person’s dental condition is different,
treating everyone with the same method
can actually make the problem worse.
Through many retreatment experiences so far,
I have built up know-how in customized care suited to each situation,
and I can confidently tell patients that
for retreatment, you have to trust skill and experience.
It is not just about reattaching it;
from analyzing the problems of the previous procedure,
to evaluating the extent of the damage,
to planning according to the condition of the tooth,
it requires a careful process,
which is why finding a clinic with accurate diagnostic equipment and know-how
is more important than anything else.


- We predict with simulation and add peace of mind with 3D.
In dental treatment these days, digital equipment
is no longer optional but essential.
Especially in retreatment, where precision is required,
digital diagnosis and design
have a major impact on treatment accuracy.
That is why our Apgujeong Station dental clinic
uses a 3D scanner to precisely analyze the entire tooth structure,
including the existing laminate,
and implements a design that fits each patient perfectly
through a CAD/CAM system.
In addition,
we go through a process of predicting and adjusting in advance
any anticipated tooth shape changes or bite problems
through digital simulation.

Don’t compare only the price.
What matters is the philosophy and technical skill behind the treatment.
We also put great effort into helping patients personally
check the completed smile through a 3D smile preview,
so they can receive treatment with peace of mind.
Because you can preview the result after treatment,
anxiety about the process is reduced,
and you can proceed more comfortably.
Above all, since even areas that were previously difficult to confirm with the eye
can be analyzed in detail,
the possibility of treatment failure can be greatly reduced.

Make Dental Clinic is with you so that your smile can remain healthy and beautiful
for a long time.
- We redesign while protecting the teeth.
I always emphasize that tooth reduction should only be chosen carefully
when it is truly necessary.
At the Apgujeong Station dental clinic,
we carefully control the amount of reduction down to the decimal place,
and whenever possible, we try to preserve as much of the tooth’s original structure as possible.
Especially in retreatment, because it is important not to place additional burden
on teeth that have already been damaged once,
reducing unnecessary reduction has a major impact on long-term oral health.
In addition, the orthodontic director and the dental technician
participate together to analyze the patient’s condition from multiple angles,
establish a customized treatment plan,
and place integrated treatment that takes the overall oral structure into account
at the center.
In cases with complex tooth alignment issues or bite abnormalities,
precise adjustment is necessary,
and by carefully identifying even the parts that are easy to miss in the process,
it becomes possible to provide treatment that is more stable
and can be maintained for a longer time.

Laminate—depending on who performs it and how it is done,
the result can be worlds apart.
- We fine-tune even the color and translucency.
Our Apgujeong Station dental clinic does not stop at simply using durable materials;
we also work carefully to match the patient’s tooth color, translucency, and gloss in detail.
We study and reflect the subtle refraction and color changes of ceramic,
and consider each patient’s skin tone,
their original tooth shade, and even facial shape
to find the optimal color combination.
In addition, we add an excellent coating treatment
so that discoloration and wear are minimized even after long-term use,
enhancing durability even further.
Because of this careful production process,
every time we see patients regain a natural smile after treatment,
we feel even greater emotion and a stronger sense of reward.

- Maintenance determines the smile.
Many people think that once retreatment is finished, it is over,
but in fact, that is when maintenance begins.
I provide patients with personalized lifestyle guidance
and carefully give individual advice to protect the teeth.
Habits such as unconscious teeth grinding or eating hard foods
can have a major impact on longevity,
so it is very important to detect problems early
and correct them through regular checkups.
That is why, at the Apgujeong Station dental clinic,
we communicate with patients over the long term and promise ongoing care
for a lasting smile.
Especially during the first few weeks, laminate is in a stabilization period,
so avoiding excessive force and adjusting eating habits is essential.

A certified doctor in clear aligners and lingual orthodontics works together
to satisfy both aesthetics and function.
For those who are struggling emotionally because their laminate has chipped
or they need retreatment,
there is something I want to say for sure.
I believe that finding a place you can trust again
is more important than anything else.
That is why, when I consult,
I do not stop at explaining the treatment plan;
I do my best to listen fully to all the concerns and questions patients have
and resolve them together.
Before making a big decision like retreatment,
easing even a little of the fear, anxiety, and heavy feelings you may have
is one of my important roles.
The door is always open, so please feel free to leave your smile concerns
to the Apgujeong Station dental clinic.
Thank you.
