Dr Justin Unpacks the Truth Behind the Dental Veneers Trend
Her World magazine is a popular and widely read women's magazine in Singapore with a strong regional presence across Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. The magazine, featured an article on 15th May 2025, titled: The Rise of TikTok Teeth: Are Veneers and a Perfect Smile the New Beauty Filter?
In the digital age, social media platforms like TikTok have become breeding grounds for beauty trends that encourage the viewers to chase a flawless smile. One such trend is a growing obsession with veneers, often referred to as “TikTok teeth”. While many TikTok creators flaunt their transformed smiles with pride, the process behind the scenes isn’t always as simple or as harmless as it appears.
In his 'Her World' magazine interview, our very own Dr Justin, sheds a light on this viral trend and stresses the necessity of understanding the long-term implications of irreversible dental treatments like veneers. He cautions against the allure of quick-fix solutions promoted on social media, and instead advocates for comprehensive consultations and personalised treatment plans that prioritise oral health alongside aesthetic goals. Dr Justin also addresses a growing concern within the dental community which is, young individuals filing down healthy teeth to stubs in pursuit of an aesthetic that may not last, nor serve their oral health in the long run.
“Dental veneers can be life-changing for the right patient,” Dr Justin shared in the article, “but they are not a one-size-fits-all solution, and they certainly shouldn’t be pursued just to follow a trend.”
