Product categories can overlap, which is why brand name alone is not enough to understand a treatment.
Is a skin booster the same as filler?
Not necessarily. Skin-booster treatments generally focus on skin quality and hydration-related goals, while structural fillers are commonly used to add or shape volume.
What matters most?
The injection depth, formulation and treatment objective can be different.
- Skin hydration
- Skin texture
- Volume loss
- Facial contour
- Product formulation
- Injection technique
Why the answer can be different for each patient
A patient seeking cheek projection has a different objective from someone focused on overall skin quality.
What should you ask during consultation?
- Is this product intended to add volume?
- What layer is being treated?
- How many sessions are planned?
- What result should I expect?
All injectable procedures have potential side effects and require appropriate clinical assessment.
DentGen approach
DentGen chooses injectable treatment according to the objective rather than marketing terminology.

Frequently asked
What are ultrathin veneers?
Ultrathin veneers are thin ceramic restorations designed to improve tooth shape, proportion and shade while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Their suitability depends on the position, colour and condition of the natural teeth.
Are ultrathin veneers the same as no-prep veneers?
No. Ultrathin describes the thickness of the ceramic restoration, while no-prep describes whether the natural tooth is reduced before bonding. Some ultrathin veneer cases may still require limited preparation.
How thin can veneers be?
Veneer thickness varies according to the ceramic system, tooth position, required colour correction and bite. In selected areas modern ceramic restorations may be fabricated very thin, but the clinically appropriate thickness is determined case by case.
Do ultrathin veneers require shaving teeth?
Not always. Some favourable cases may need little or no preparation, while prominent, rotated, dark or irregular teeth may require controlled enamel adjustment to create space and avoid a bulky result.
Can ultrathin veneers look natural?
Yes, when shape, shade, translucency, surface texture and tooth proportions are planned correctly. Natural-looking results depend on both the ceramic design and the condition of the underlying tooth.
Are ultrathin veneers suitable for dark teeth?
Significant discolouration can be more difficult to mask with very thin ceramic because greater translucency may allow the underlying shade to show through. Material choice, thickness and preparation must therefore be planned individually.
Are ultrathin veneers strong?
Ceramic veneers can be durable when properly designed, bonded and protected from excessive forces. Their long-term performance depends on material selection, bite, bonding quality and habits such as grinding.
How do I know if I am suitable for ultrathin veneers?
A dentist should assess your tooth position, enamel, bite, gums, colour, existing restorations and aesthetic goals before deciding whether ultrathin, minimal-prep or another veneer approach is appropriate.
