Angel Veneer for a patient seeking a change in tooth color and shape without preparation of healthy teeth

Treatment

Ultra-thin ceramic shells were bonded to the teeth with a dental adhesive, without tooth preparation in this case.

The procedure changed the color and shape of the teeth. No anesthetic was used in this case, and little pain was reported.

Duration & visits

Duration: about 2 weeks to 1 month

Number of visits: 2–3 (impression → fitting)

Cost

¥132,000 per tooth (tax included) × 16 teeth

Total ¥2,112,000 (tax included)

Risks & side effects

Because the ceramic is bonded onto the tooth, it adds a small amount to the thickness of the original tooth (you may notice some discomfort until you get used to it).

Because an ultrathin material is used, it may crack or come off if strong force is applied. Depending on the condition of your bite, this treatment may not be suitable.
