1. I’m confused about laminate veneers and crowns near Sinsa Station.

Hello.

I’m Ahn Young-seok, the chief dentist of Make Dental Clinic.

During consultations,

I often get the question,

“What’s the difference between laminate veneers and crowns?”

Both procedures are methods that improve the appearance of teeth by

refining their outer look, but there are clear differences in their scope,

purpose, and the way the tooth is treated.

Even so, many people rely only on internet searches or stories from people around them when making a choice.

In particular, because of the vague fear that “a lot has to be shaved down,”

many people hesitate to get laminate veneers and end up not even trying.

But these two procedures are not simply a matter of

“which one is better”; the option changes depending on your current condition and the result you want.

So, through an accurate diagnosis,

finding the method that is right for you is the most important thing.

A medical team with a young and trendy sensibility accurately identifies your needs and reflects current trends.

2. A “covering” procedure vs. an “encasing” procedure

Laminate veneers near Sinsa Station are, as the name suggests,

a procedure that improves color or shape by attaching a thin ceramic plate to the front surface of the tooth.

It’s easy to understand if you think of it as similar to applying a protective film to a smartphone screen.

Because only about 0.3 to 0.5 mm of the tooth surface is minimally removed,

one advantage is that the original healthy structure can be preserved as much as possible.

By contrast, a crown is a prosthetic that covers the entire tooth,

similar to putting a hat on it.

Since about 60 to 70% of the tooth’s entire circumference must be reshaped,

it is mainly applied to structurally weakened teeth or teeth that have received root canal treatment.

In other words, laminate veneers are mainly for aesthetic improvement,

while crowns focus more on protecting damaged teeth and restoring function.

After a precise examination, Make Dental Clinic proceeds without tooth reduction whenever possible, and even when reduction is unavoidable, it is performed only to the minimum extent.

3. If you want to shape the color and form of your teeth beautifully while preserving their health, laminate veneers near Sinsa Station can be a good choice.

The part we are most proud of is our principle of “no-prep, minimal-prep.”

Many people may hear the term “minimal-prep” but still not have a clear sense of how much is actually shaved down.

We measure the amount of reduction precisely down to decimal units, that is, to 0.001 mm, and explain it clearly.

If possible, we proceed without tooth reduction, and even when reduction is unavoidable,

we perform it only to the minimum extent.

Make Dental Clinic is with you so that your smile can stay healthy and beautiful for a long time.

Especially in cases with severe protrusion or alignment problems,

we do not force treatment and instead recommend orthodontic treatment first.

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

a reducing unnecessary damage is of utmost importance.

Thanks to this philosophy, post-procedure sensitivity and discomfort are minimized,

and healthy teeth can be maintained over the long term.

Through充分 communication with each patient,

we bring out the most satisfying results.

4. What will I actually look like after the procedure?

We use the RAYFace 3D facial scanner and the 3Shape Trios 5 intraoral scanner to precisely scan the entire face and oral structure.

In addition, by combining Dental CAD system, we provide a “smile preview” that virtually reconstructs the post-procedure shape, length, and color.

In a clinical study conducted in practice,

using digital smile design that combined 2D photos and 3D scan data,

a pre-procedure mock-up was created and tried on in advance.

As a result, 64.3% of patients were “very satisfied” with the 3D design,

and after the mock-up experience, 85.7% showed high satisfaction.

Most importantly,

this 3D virtual design greatly improved communication between patient and clinician,

and it was very effective in increasing predictability of the procedure results and reducing unnecessary errors.

Thanks to this, patients can check their new smile in advance before the procedure,

and fine-tune the details with me.

During this process, we consider various elements such as alignment, lip line, and smile curve together,

which makes the result very natural and highly satisfying.

Because we go through enough communication and design adjustments before treatment,

your anxiety about the result disappears,

and since the process involves a three-dimensional analysis of the entire face and oral cavity,

the completed smile harmonizes with the face.

Make Dental Clinic provides custom designs tailored to each person’s skin tone, eye color, and face shape.

5. No matter how precise it is, if the color and shape feel unnatural, it cannot be considered a good result.

That is why we provide custom designs tailored to each person’s skin tone, eye color, and face shape.

For color, we set a target tone using a shade guide system

and select the ceramic block that matches it.

At this stage, we fine-tune the final color by combining various try-in cements

and final veneer cements.

Thanks to this “shade matching solution,” the result can blend naturally with the surrounding teeth.

Make Dental Clinic carefully reflects tooth shape, edge angles, and even surface texture.

We also carefully reflect tooth shape, edge angles,

and even surface texture.

In particular, the process of matching color while carefully considering the reflectance and translucency of light so that it is almost indistinguishable from natural teeth requires a high level of skill.

For this, our dentists and dental technicians work together,

and do their best to provide patients with satisfying results.

Make Dental Clinic values the process. Precise diagnosis and design create perfect results.

6. The level of completion of laminate veneers near Sinsa Station is determined by laboratory craftsmanship.

We use precision-processed laminate veneers provided by the MAKE DENTAL CERAMICS LAB,

and present platinum foil laminate veneers from a technician trained at CREO LAB in New York,

along with Oral Design Seoul.

In addition, by using high-end glass ceramic materials,

we reproduce the translucency and gloss unique to natural teeth.

Rather than simply being “thin and pretty” veneers,

they are closer to a highly refined work with excellent strength and durability.

Laminate veneers near Sinsa Station, crafted with this kind of artistry,

show almost no color change or distortion over time,

and maintain their beauty as initially treated for a long time.

Rather than simply making teeth white,

we achieve harmony with the face and natural translucency.

7. Laminate veneers near Sinsa Station are not just a procedure to make teeth look beautiful.

They act like a thin protective film for the tooth,

stably protecting it from external irritation, bacteria, and wear.

In particular, they can also be very helpful in preventing enamel from thinning and discoloration as you age.

So before moving on to extraction or implants,

we may recommend them as a way to preserve natural teeth for as long as possible.

Our goal at Make Dental Clinic is to help patients smile more confidently

and make their precious moments shine.

Based on the concept of minimally invasive prosthodontics,

we aim for treatment that cares for both aesthetics and health.

Through this, our goal is to help patients smile more confidently

and make their precious moments shine.

From the first consultation to design, treatment, and aftercare,

we carefully accompany the entire process and listen to each patient’s story.

If you are 고민하고 계신다면 between laminate veneers and crowns,

we will kindly provide consultation so you can carefully compare every aspect,

including the amount of reduction, design, color, and function.
