According to Doctor Hoang Danh Ngan at Smilux International Dental, over 80% of complications following porcelain veneer procedures result from excessive tooth reduction or the use of poor-quality materials. Reducing a large amount of natural tooth structure to conceal imperfections or shorten veneer application time deviates from standard treatment protocols, carrying numerous risks.
Doctor Danh Ngan elaborated on these risks: "Firstly, pulp damage can lead to prolonged pain, inflammation, and in many cases, infections spreading to the jawbone. Secondly, there is a risk of permanent tooth loss. When natural teeth are irreparably damaged, extraction and replacement with implants become the final, complex solution, significantly impacting quality of life".

Doctor Ngan also noted that using porcelain veneers made from unregulated, unverified materials often leads to rapid degradation, discoloration, and chipping. "Introducing unverified materials into the oral cavity poses high health risks, typically bacterial infections, gum inflammation, and persistent bad breath. Many cases require infection treatment before restoration", he added.
Furthermore, porcelain veneer restoration demands a team of highly skilled doctors with professional licenses. Incorrect techniques can result in severe consequences, including misaligned bites, temporomandibular joint pain, difficulty opening the mouth, chronic headaches, and wear on opposing tooth surfaces.

To avoid excessive tooth reduction, Smilux Dental adheres to the philosophy of "maximum preservation - minimum intervention". This approach involves doctors performing ultra-thin preparation, retaining most of the natural tooth structure, limiting invasiveness, and protecting the pulp.
"We commit to using materials with clear origins, rejecting unregulated or poor-quality porcelain, and preventing gum inflammation or open margins", a representative stated.
