Laminate Teeth (Porcelain Laminate Veneers) at Seoul Lab Dental Clinic (Uijeongbu)
If you’d like brighter, more symmetrical front teeth with minimal drilling, laminate teeth—also called porcelain laminate veneers—offer a precise, natural-looking solution. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we design conservative, enamel-first laminates that enhance color, shape, and alignment harmony while protecting tooth structure.
What Are Porcelain Laminate Veneers?
Porcelain laminates are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct discoloration, small chips, uneven edges, minor crowding or spacing, and asymmetry, creating a balanced smile line that still looks authentically “you.”
Who’s a Good Candidate?
- Front teeth with stubborn discoloration or old fillings that show
- Small gaps, minor rotation, or uneven lengths/edges
- Healthy gums and a stable bite
- Patients seeking a durable, natural cosmetic upgrade without full crowns
If you have severe crowding, active gum disease, or heavy grinding, we’ll address those first or discuss alternatives.
Benefits at a Glance
- Lifelike aesthetics: layered ceramics mimic natural enamel
- Conservative prep: enamel-first approach; micro-prep only where needed
- Color stability: ceramics resist staining better than composites
- Predictable planning: digital smile design and mock-up previews
Our Laminate Process

High-resolution photos, shade mapping, and bite/gingival evaluation. We define goals (whiteness, shape, symmetry). - Digital Preview / Mock-Up
Try your proposed shapes virtually or with a test-drive mock-up. We fine-tune together. - Enamel-First Preparation
If required, minimal micro-prep to ensure fit, margins, and shade masking—explained clearly before we proceed. - Custom Ceramic Fabrication
Handcrafted ultra-thin laminates with natural translucency and texture. - Bonding & Finishing
Adhesive protocols for strong enamel bonding, bitecheck, and high-gloss polish.

Longevity & Care
- Brush and floss daily; use non-abrasive toothpaste
- Routine cleanings and veneer checkups keep margins pristine
- Nightguard recommended for bruxism/clenching
- Avoid using teeth to open packages; limit very hard/sticky foods
Risks & Considerations
- Some cases require minimal contouring for ideal fit and color control
- Laminates can chip under excessive force or untreated grinding
- Very dark underlying teeth or significant misalignment may need a combined plan (whitening/ortho or crowns where indicated)
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my teeth be shaved a lot?
No—our approach is enamel-first. If micro-prep is necessary, we’ll show you exactly where and why on the mock-up.
Do laminates look bulky?
Proper case selection and thin, layered ceramics prevent bulk. The goal is natural, refined.
Should I whiten before laminates?
Often yes. We set a brighter baseline with whitening, then match laminate shade to your ideal color.
How many laminates do I need?
Commonly 4–10 for the visible smile zone; we’ll tailor the count to your goals and budget.

You’ll receive transparent pricing after your smile analysis and mock-up preview. Our English-friendly team coordinates appointments for expats and travelers and can compress visits when needed.
