What is laminate? The identity of thin porcelain attached to teeth

Hallo

Seoul Dia Dentistry is responsible for healthy smiles in Magok.

We're starting a new series today.

This is the topic that has become very popular these days— laminatedThis is it.

“Aren't celebrities doing it?”

“They say I need to brush my teeth a lot?”

“Wouldn't it make a tee if you put it on?”

It looks like this.

I've heard of laminates at least once

There are a lot of people who just don't know exactly what it is.

And to be honest...

There is so much information about laminate these days

On the contrary, it is often confusing.

“Minimal deletion”, “Undeleted”, “Same-day treatment”...

There are lots of good words, but

Laminates aren't all laminates the same.

So I prepared it.

Laminate, a series to get to know and start properly.

“Laminate, what exactly?”

Let's find out together now.

Laminate, I'll start by looking at the name

Magok laminate veneer

Laminate (Laminate),

In English, it means “to put on a thin layer.”

Laminate in dentistry is applied to the front of the tooth

It's a treatment that precisely attaches very thin pieces of pottery.

The thickness is usually 0.3 to 0.7 mm.

Pottery that is thinner than nails

It fits perfectly on the teeth.

It's also called Veneer (Veneer)

It means the same thing.

What problems can I solve?

Laminate is the color, shape, size, and arrangement of teeth

It is a treatment that can be improved all at once.

Magok laminate_Solvable problems

1. If color is an issue

Severe discoloration, pigmentation that cannot be solved by whitening,

It is effective when the color of teeth is naturally dark.

2. If the shape is an issue

If the tooth is small, broken, or crooked

It can hold the shape naturally.

3. If size is an issue

The space between the teeth is widened,

You can adjust the size if your teeth look too small.

4. If arrays are an issue

It's not even a calibration, but it's a slight arrangement problem

There are also cases where visual improvements are made by laminating.

However, if the arrangement problem is severe, correction may come first.

We'll cover this in more detail in the next part.

What materials do you make it from?

Magok laminate_material

Laminates are mainly made from two materials.

[Ceramic (ceramics) ]

It's the most commonly used material.

Because the light transmittance rate is similar to natural teeth

It looks most natural when applied.

The strength is also high and there is almost no discoloration.

[Composite resin ]

It's cheaper than ceramic and is quicker to make.

However, discoloration may occur over time

It has lower strength than ceramic.

Material selection is based on dental condition and

It depends on the desired results and costs.

This part is in the next series

Please note that we'll cover it in more depth.

Laminates are not all the same

I think I should tell you an important story here.

Since the laminate market is getting so big these days

You've probably seen the words “minimal deletion” and “undeleted.”

As laminate technology actually progressed

The amount of teeth removed is much less than before. This is true.

By the way.

Since it's a laminate, they're all in the same way,

Not all results are the same.

How do you design the same “uncensored laminate,”

The result can be completely different depending on how it is produced.

Simply putting on white, straight teeth

Personalizing it so that it blends naturally with surrounding teeth—

The results cannot be the same

Therefore, in this series, you know laminates properly,

I'll go through them one by one so you can make the right choice.

So, let's summarize today's story in a nutshell.

Laminate is a treatment where a thin layer of porcelain is attached to the front of the tooth

Color, shape, size, and arrangement issues can be improved all at once

There are two materials: ceramic and composite resin

Not all laminates are the same

How you design and manufacture determines the outcome

In the next episode “Laminate vs. Crown vs. Teeth Whitening, what's the difference?” I'll tell you about it.

Have a healthy and smiling day today. ^^
