In their 50s. Came to us wanting to improve the color and shape of their front teeth. This is a case of laminate veneers on the 6 upper front teeth.

Treatment Details

For the 6 upper front teeth, we shaved the tooth surface very thinly (about 0.3mm–0.5mm) and bonded thin ceramic shells (laminate veneers), like press-on nails. By bonding ceramic with an “ideal tooth shape” precisely designed on a model and the “highest-grade whiteness,” we achieved a beautiful mouth, like a celebrity's, in a short period.

Treatment Duration & Sessions

About 1 to 1.5 months. Number of visits: 3–4 (counseling, preparation/impression-taking, try-in/fitting)

Cost

¥113,300 per tooth (tax included) and up (*for reference: based on the e-max ceramic menu). *Because this case involved treatment of 6 upper front teeth, the total comes to about ¥679,800 (tax included) and up.

Risks & Side Effects

A layer of the healthy tooth's surface needs to be shaved off. Because ultrathin ceramic is used, if you use your front teeth to bite hard objects or have a habit of grinding your teeth, it may chip or come off. Temporary sensitivity (a stinging feeling) may occur right after treatment.
