Laminate veneers on 6 upper front teeth for a patient in their 50s seeking changes in color and shape
CASE 07
Angel Veneer
BEFORE
AFTER
- Treatment
- About 0.3–0.5mm of the surfaces of 6 upper front teeth was removed before bonding thin ceramic shells (laminate veneers). The shape and shade were designed on a model to match the planned appearance.
- Duration & visits
- 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 after treatment.
