Ultra-Thin Veneers in Seoul, Korea
Ultra-thin veneers are next-gen ceramic laminates (often ~0.2–0.3 mm) designed to brighten, align, and refine the smile with little to no enamel reduction. They preserve tooth structure, deliver a lifelike sheen, and can often be completed within a short Korea stay—perfect for travelers and busy professionals.
Why Choose Ultra-Thin Veneers
- ✅ Minimal or no drilling (enamel-preserving, comfort-first)
- ✅ Natural translucency that mimics real enamel
- ✅ Fast timelines with digital smile design
- ✅ Stain resistance vs. coffee/tea discoloration
- ✅ Reversible-leaning approach compared with traditional heavy prep
Are You a Candidate?
Great fit if you have:
- Mild discoloration resistant to whitening
- Small chips, worn edges, or short teeth
- Minor gaps or slight misalignment
- Adequate enamel and healthy gums
May need prep/adjuncts if you have:
- Moderate–severe crowding or rotations (consider clear aligners first)
- Large restorations or severe discoloration (selective prep, material tweaks)
- Heavy bruxism (add night guard for protection)

FAQs
- Will my teeth be shaved?
In many cases no; selective micro-adjustments are used only if needed for symmetry or fit. - Do they feel bulky?
Proper planning yields natural contours that feel like your own teeth. - How many veneers do I need?
Depends on your smile display—common sets are 4, 6, 8, or 10 teeth. - Can I whiten first?
Yes. Whiten before shade selection to match adjacent teeth. - Are they reversible?
They’re extremely conservative; full reversibility varies case-by-case. Your dentist will advise after examination.
