Angel Veneer Case
Woman in her 30s. Came in wanting, “whitening alone won’t get the whiteness I’m happy with” and “I’d like to neaten the shape and gaps of my teeth.” The main concern was “cutting healthy teeth,” so chose Angel Veneer, a treatment that can be carried out with almost no cutting of the patient’s own teeth.
CASE 12
Angel Veneer
BEFORE
AFTER
- Treatment Details
- Carried out Angel Veneer, shaping the surface of the teeth very thinly (about 0.1mm to 0.5mm) and bonding on a thin ceramic shell, like a false nail, over the top. There is no need for anaesthetic, and almost no pain. This time, chose a whiter, more translucent “Super White” shade, brightening and lifting the impression of the mouth all at once.
- Treatment Period / Sessions
- Period: about 2 weeks to 1 month Number of visits: 2 to 3 (impression → fitting) *Unlike orthodontic treatment, which can take several years, the desired tooth alignment and colour can be achieved in a short time.
- Cost
- ¥110,000 to ¥165,000 (tax included) per tooth (*varies depending on the number of teeth and the grade of material)
- Risks & Side Effects
- Because the ceramic is bonded onto the tooth, the tooth becomes slightly thicker than before (this may feel odd until you get used to it). Because an extremely thin ceramic is used, it may crack or come off if a very strong force is applied. Depending on the bite, this treatment may not be suitable.
