Laminate price, side effects, and maintenance period all in one place. What's the key to making it look natural?

Laminate prices, why are they different?

 

It depends on the hospital, materials, and quality of the technique.
The price spectrum ranges from several hundred thousand won to over one million won per tooth.

Differences in materials such as zirconia/lithium disilicate (Imax), etc.
Digital Scan/Laboratory Level increases with the number of color matchings.

 

💡Tip: The advertisement that says “the set is cheap”
There are cases where color matching and pore quality are compromised.

Be sure to check out our sample portfolio.

 

 

 

The key to natural laminate is transparency.

 

There are two key things to do naturally.

 

• Transparency achieved through layered color combination (core + enamel)
• Shade technique that matches the brightness, saturation, and transparency of the adjacent teeth

 

Just because something is white doesn't mean it's pretty.
Only when the light reflection and cutting edge transparency are right can you hear people say, “It looks like a real tooth.”

 

 

Tooth extraction, how much does it cost?

 

These days, people often say it's unedited.

Completely uncut is rare.
In most cases, the minimum removal is about 0.2 to 0.5 mm.

If the protrusion or asymmetry is large, more may be needed.
The less deletion, the lower the chance of nerve stimulation and numbness.

 

 

Laminate Side Effects: What I Actually Experienced

 

I had temporary numbness immediately after the procedure.
Most people adapt within 1-2 weeks.

 

Possible problems include...

 

- Numbness/sensory changes (initial adaptation period)

- Discoloration of the adhesive border (due to lack of maintenance)

- Fracture/fallout (excessive occlusion, bad habits)

- Gum line swelling (when the border is thick)

 

 

Tips for Preventing Laminate Problems!

 

✅ Carefully adjust the occlusion

✅ Smooth border polishing

✅If you bruxism, a mouth guard is essential.

 

 

Laminate maintenance period

 

We usually talk about 5 to 10 years.

There are big differences depending on management, occlusion, and eating habits.
If you keep up with regular checkups and professional scaling, it will last much longer.

 

 

Maintenance tips from someone who has laminated!

 

✅Rinse with water immediately after coloring the drink.

✅ Interdental brushing and flossing routine

✅Do not bite hard things (seeds, bones) with your front teeth

✅If you grind your teeth, wear a guard at night.

 

 

Laminate vs. Other Options

 

Whitening : No deletion, low cost. Limitations apply if discoloration is severe.

resin laminate : Inexpensive, same-day delivery. Discoloration and wear are quick.

correction : The standard for improving tooth position. The time and cost burden, and separate corrections for shape and color are required.

 

If you want to change the gap, shape, and color
If you want results in a short period of time

The laminate was realistic.

If the protrusion or rotation is significant, we recommend a laminate combination after correction.

 

 

The laminate consultation process went like this.

 

• Consultation, Photos, Scans
• Preview the shape with wax-up/mockup
• Minimal deletion/temporary lamination
• Making a pore (color 1-2 times)
• Bonding, occlusion adjustment, and polishing

 

I especially liked the mock setup phase.
After pasting, match “Huh? It’s big/small”!!

 

 

Conclusion: My thoughts on laminating...

 

The naturalness of laminate

Not just “white in color”

Transparency and lines battle!!

 

Most of the side effects of laminate can be prevented through management and occlusion adjustment.

The lifespan of laminate is determined by habits and checkups.

Laminate prices are proportional to the quality of the pores, number of color matches, and materials.

 

 

Not “white teeth in a hurry”
Teeth design that fits the natural proportions of the face This was the key. Haha
