- have a natural appearance.
- Do not be thick and protruding.

Is there always a need to sharpen teeth?
Answer: Not always. The need for tooth grinding depends on the following factors:- The degree of protrusion or irregularity of the teeth
- Selected laminate thickness
- Expected final color
- type of smile and jaw shape
- Dentist's skill and technique
- Laminate material and technology
In some people with the following conditions, lamination may be done without trimming or with very little trimming:
- Small or receding teeth
- smooth surface and no decay
- Slight discoloration
However, if the teeth are protruding, disorganized, have severe discoloration, or have enamel protrusions, more sharpening is likely to be required.
Why should teeth be sharpened?
Scientific reasons and beauty of cutting:
Creating the right thickness for laminate
If the cutting is not done, the laminate will be seen thick and the smile will look so-called "plaster" or "prosthetic".
Better adhesion
Tooth enamel is the best surface for bonding laminate. Controlled grinding increases adhesion.
Edge prevention
Otherwise, the laminate may be edged and food gets stuck, cause gum inflammation and damage faster.
More natural tooth shape
Basic teeth shaving allows the dentist to design the shape, length and curvature of the laminate in harmony with the natural teeth so that the final smile looks completely natural and fits the face.

Does tooth sharpening hurt?
No in most cases.
Basic carving is done only on enamel, which does not have a nerve. It is usually done with local anesthesia and the person does not feel pain. It just feels a little pressure or vibration of the device.
After the treatment, there may be sensitivity to cold, a little sore gums, and sensitivity when chewing, which usually resolves within a few days.
How dangerous is tooth brushing?

- Increasing the possibility of decay
- Need to be nerfed
- Decreasing the lifespan of teeth
So choosing a cosmetic dentist is very important.
Is tooth grinding reversible?
No. Once the tooth enamel is cut, it cannot regenerate naturally. Therefore, doing laminate is considered a permanent and irreversible decision. If the laminate is damaged or removed, it usually needs to be replaced again.
What is uncut laminate or luminaries?

A very small amount of tooth enamel is cut to create enough space for the placement of the laminate and the final thickness is natural and without protrusions.
5. Digital printing or scanning
After grinding, a precise molding or digital 3D scan is done from the teeth so that the laminates are made to fit the shape of the teeth.
6. Installation of temporary laminate
Until the main laminates are ready, the temporary laminate is placed on the teeth to protect the teeth and maintain the appearance of the smile.
7. Making the final laminate in the laboratory
Permanent laminates are made in a specialized laboratory using high-quality ceramic materials according to the mold or scan.
8. Installation and final bonding
At the last stage, the laminates are installed on the teeth with special adhesives and professional bonding technique, so that they have high strength, long durability and a completely natural appearance.
