[Medical Today = Reporter Kim Jun-su] With the recent increase in aesthetic standards, interest in an individual's appearance and smile is increasing. Smiles are regarded as one of the important factors that can greatly influence one's confidence and image. Therefore, many people are managing them in various ways to improve their smile.

Among them, more and more people are considering the laminate procedure because it has a great effect in creating a natural and beautiful smile. Amid this trend, laminate treatment is a highly satisfactory procedure in a simple and effective way. In particular, it has the advantage of being able to face natural results and desired results in a short period of time.

After slightly trimming the outer surface of the tooth, the laminate undergoes a treatment process in which a prosthesis of a shape and color similar to that of the adjacent tooth is precisely produced and added. Problems such as size differences and fracture can be improved through this, as well as problems with the arrangement and color of teeth.

However, excessive deletion of tooth enamel can cause cold symptoms or problems with chewing function after the procedure. Since teeth do not regenerate again, it is important to minimize the amount of deletion. Therefore, if possible, tooth damage should be minimized by using methods such as completely removing or minimally removing teeth.

The minimal deletion is to improve the adhesion by minimizing the surface of the tooth, and to organize the areas that are encountered during induction exercise. It can be said that the minimum deletion is more effective than the complete failure. This is because if you completely completely completely completely completely complete, the laminate becomes bulky, making the tooth look bigger, and the adhesion decreases. And if you get caught during induction exercise, you can easily break or fall off.

Minimum deletion does not make the teeth appear large, does not make the lips protrude, improves adhesion, and prevents induction exercise. If you delete the minimum, you can only organize the degree of enamel of your teeth, so you can put down your worries because it is not a problem. In the beginning, your teeth can become sensitive, but over time these areas also resolve.

Park Hyun-min, head of the Lucid Dental Clinic in Seoul, said, "An accurate diagnosis is essential to improve the patient's dental condition with minimal deletion. Just as face shapes vary from person to person, teeth also have various shapes, so an individual approach is needed. Therefore, the specialist should make an accurate diagnosis considering the shape and condition of each patient's teeth, he said. "Based on this, only necessary parts should be selectively taken and supplemented. For this professional treatment, it is important to visit a hospital where medical staff with extensive clinical experience reside."

In order to obtain satisfactory results of laminate treatment, it is important not only to consider the price, but to choose a place where experienced professional medical staff reside. In addition, treatment that fits the individual's needs and circumstances should be provided through sufficient consultation between the patient and the medical staff.
