Gangnam Laminate Dental Clinic: Minimizing Tooth Reduction

Laminate is one of the aesthetic treatments that improves both the appearance and function of teeth.

In the past, it was a procedure preferred by entertainers and celebrities,

but recently, laminate has become increasingly popular among people in their 20s to 40s.

. . .

Today, let’s take a look at laminate at Seoul Centum Dental Clinic.

In the past, when you saw celebrities getting laminate on TV programs,

you could see that a large amount of tooth structure had been removed, which was surprising.

Because of this, some people still feel burdened and worried about laminate.

However, the methods used for laminate procedures have improved greatly these days,

and by preserving as much of the original tooth as possible,

the burden related to tooth reduction has been greatly reduced.

Laminate

Seoul Centum Dental Clinic’s laminate is

aesthetic treatment that slightly shapes the front surface of the tooth (about 0.3 to 0.6 mm),

then covers the tooth with a thin porcelain artificial tooth shell

to improve gaps, shape, color, and other aspects of the teeth.

With a thickness that gives a layered sense of translucency,

it does not feel overly foreign,

and it is made with a surface that conveys the natural texture of the teeth.

Seoul Centum Dental Clinic’s laminate aims for a natural treatment that captures

the original translucency, contours, and texture of the teeth.

Laminate Key point

It is good to become more beautiful, but grinding down teeth can

inevitably cause damage to the teeth.

Seoul Centum Dental Clinic values natural teeth,

so after sufficient consultation with the patient,

we help provide the appropriate procedure through one-on-one intensive consultation.

In addition, we customize the color, alignment, and texture of the teeth

to ensure satisfaction with both aesthetics and functionality.
