Laminate Veneers in Seoul, Korea

Thin, Strong, and Beautiful—Designed by Make Dental

What Are Laminate Veneers?

Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve color, shape, and symmetry—often with minimal enamel reduction. Also known as porcelain laminate veneers or “laminates.”

Why Choose Make Dental for Laminates

  • Conservative, Tooth-Preserving Prep: Enamel-focused techniques; non-prep cases when clinically suitable.
  • Digital Smile Design: Intraoral scanning, high-res photos, and mock-ups for predictable outcomes.
  • Natural Esthetics: Shade, value, and translucency customized to your skin tone and smile line.
  • Comfort & Clarity: English-friendly team, step-by-step photos, and itemized quotes before treatment.
  • Efficient Scheduling: Streamlined visits for busy locals and international travelers.

What Laminates Can Improve

  • Intrinsic discoloration (tetracycline, fluorosis) unresponsive to whitening
  • Chips, worn edges, short teeth, and uneven shapes
  • Small gaps (diastema) and mild crowding in the smile zone
  • Smile arc harmony and proportional tooth width/length

Are Laminate Veneers Right for Me?

  • Healthy gums and stable bite
  • Realistic expectations for brightness and shape
  • Willingness to maintain excellent oral hygiene and routine checkups
  • Nightguard use if you clench or grind

Laminates vs. Traditional Porcelain Veneers

  • Laminate Veneers (Ultra-Thin Porcelain):
  • Often less prep, more enamel preserved, highly esthetic and stain-resistant
  • Ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural enhancement with conservative treatment
  • Traditional Porcelain Veneers:
  • Slightly thicker; preferred when color/block-out or major shape change is required

Step-By-Step: Your Make Dental Journey

  1. Consultation & Digital Scan – Photos, bite analysis, and discussion of goals (shade, length, shape).
  2. Smile Design & Mock-Up – Preview edge lengths and contours; refine together before any prep.
  3. Conservative Preparation (If Needed) – Minimal enamel reshaping to create space and ideal finish lines.
  4. Temporaries (When Appropriate) – Test speech, bite, and length; share feedback.
  5. Final Bonding – High-strength adhesive bonding under isolation for seamless margins and longevity.
  6. Follow-Up – Bite check, polish, and long-term care plan (nightguard if indicated).

Longevity & Maintenance

  • Typical Lifespan: 10–15+ years with good care
  • Home Care: Soft brush, low-abrasive toothpaste, daily floss or water flosser
  • Habits: Avoid biting hard objects (ice, nutshells); never use teeth as tools
  • Checkups: Hygiene every 6 months; veneer review annually

Options & Complementary Treatments

  • Pre-Whitening: Brighten natural enamel first; then match laminate shade
  • Clear Aligners: Align first for thinner, more conservative laminates
  • Gum Contouring: Refine gingival symmetry and tooth display
  • Edge Bonding: Micro-tweaks for single-tooth refinements

Pricing & Packages

Costs depend on number of teeth, case complexity, and any pre-treatments (aligners, whitening, gum contouring). You’ll receive a transparent, itemized quote after consultation. Package pricing available for 6–10 teeth.

For International & English-Speaking Patients

  • Travel-Friendly Plans: Typically 2–3 visits (consult/design → prep/temporaries → bonding)
  • Documentation: Written plans, shade records, and remote check-ins if you depart soon after treatment
  • Coordination: Help with directions, scheduling, and appointment certificates upon request

FAQs

Do Laminates Damage My Teeth?
We prioritize enamel preservation. Many cases require only minimal reshaping; some are non-prep.

Will They Look Too White?
We balance shade and translucency with your complexion and lip tone for a bright yet believable result.

How Many Teeth Should I Treat?
Commonly 6, 8, or 10 upper teeth, depending on smile width. Lower teeth can be included for symmetry.

Can I Whiten After Laminates?
Porcelain color is stable and won’t whiten. We usually whiten natural teeth before selecting laminate shade.

Is There Downtime?
Most patients resume normal activities the same day. Temporary sensitivity may occur and typically resolves quickly.
