Marking a major milestone in its U.S. expansion, MINISH USA joined over 450 exhibitors in the main hall. At Booth #2566, the team engaged directly with hundreds of North American clinicians and practice owners eager to adopt cutting-edge restorative philosophies. Over the three-day event, MINISH USA engaged with approximately 520 high-quality prospective client leads.

Throughout the convention, MINISH USA hosted packed live demonstrations highlighting its revolutionary ultra-thin restorative solutions. Unlike traditional veneers or crowns requiring aggressive, irreversible tooth reduction, the proprietary MINISH solution emphasizes complete enamel preservation. Utilizing bio-compatible materials that structurally mirror natural enamel hardness and elasticity, MINISH enables seamless, durable, and painless single-day smile rehabilitations.

The technical showcase sparked intense curiosity among local practitioners. In a market where U.S. dental labs predominantly rely on lithium disilicate (e.max) or manual powder-layered (build-up) feldspathic ceramic techniques, MINISH's ability to flawlessly mill feldspathic ceramic into ultra-thin veneers without fracturing came as a revelation. "Is it truly possible to achieve this microscopic thickness through robotic milling alone?" was the question echoed by dozens of local clinicians.

The breakthrough technology even caught the attention of industry giants. Representatives from major competitors, including Glidewell, a multi-billion-dollar dental laboratory powerhouse, visited the MINISH booth to marvel at the ultra-thin precision and question how such structural integrity was achieved.

This overwhelming response underscored a massive shift in market perception. The initial resistance regarding the $350 per-tooth solution fee has virtually evaporated. Instead, the booth welcomed a surge of highly informed attendees tracking the brand via Instagram or returning after seeing MINISH last year. Supported by a deeply knowledgeable North American team, MINISH USA delivered sophisticated, protocol-driven consultations that resonated deeply with the American dental community.

"Our presence at CDA Presents 2026 confirmed that American dental professionals are ready to adopt a tooth-preserving approach that prioritizes long-term oral health without compromising on aesthetic perfection," said a representative for MINISH USA.

The showcase arrives on the heels of successful training initiatives, including global MINISH courses to certify official providers, alongside recent clinical milestones in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

Reflecting on the event, the team noted the value of navigating complex clinical dialogues in a fast-paced environment. To elevate its academic presence, MINISH USA is planning future strategies to transition toward hosting clinical case presentations at boutique conferences, alongside a long-term initiative to feature a certified MINISH doctor as an official keynote speaker on the main CDA lecture stage.

For dental professionals interested in becoming certified MINISH Providers or exploring partnerships, MINISH USA is offering exclusive post-convention virtual briefings throughout June. Learn more at www.minishveneers.com.

About MINISH USA

MINISH USA is the North American division of MINISH Technology, an innovative medical technology enterprise dedicated to the philosophy of lifetime natural tooth preservation. Developed by specialized clinicians and master ceramists, the MINISH solution has been proven across more than 200,000 successful global cases. By combining state-of-the-art digital dentistry, precise robotic milling, and bio-compatible materials, MINISH enables certified dental practices to deliver ultra-precise, pain-free, non-invasive dental restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

The course provided participants with a comprehensive introduction to the MINISH Veneers workflow, covering diagnosis, tooth preparation, communication with the laboratory, bonding protocols, optimized workflow with assistant, and final delivery. Through lectures, live demonstrations, and practical exercises, attendees experienced the clinical philosophy and systematic workflow that have been refined through more than 18 years and over 200,000 clinical veneer cases.

Unlike conventional veneer approaches that often prioritize aggressive preparation for esthetic outcomes, the MINISH philosophy emphasizes preservation of healthy tooth structure and biomimetic restoration principles. The concept focuses on restoring teeth in a way that closely mimics the natural structure and function of enamel while minimizing unnecessary reduction of healthy tissue.

One of the distinguishing aspects of the program was its highly interactive hands-on environment. Six experienced faculty members provided close guidance throughout the course, allowing participants to receive individualized feedback and direct clinical instruction. Many attendees highlighted the faculty-to-participant ratio and the depth of practical education as major strengths of the program.

"Most veneer courses focus heavily on esthetics alone, but this course helped connect esthetics, function, and long-term preservation," said one participant. "The workflow was systematic, detailed, and immediately applicable to daily practice."

The course also introduced participants to the broader MINISH ecosystem, including its proprietary laboratory communication process and collaboration with MINISH Lab, Asia's first VITA-certified dental laboratory. Participants gained insight into how digital workflows, material selection, and technician-clinician collaboration contribute to predictable restorative outcomes.

Due to increasing interest in minimally invasive dentistry and conservative restorative solutions, MINISH Veneers USA continues to expand its educational initiatives throughout North America. The company stated that upcoming courses will continue focusing on practical clinical integration, biomimetic principles, and real-world workflows that can be implemented efficiently in modern dental practices.

Following strong attendance and positive participant feedback, future MINISH Courses are expected to attract growing interest from clinicians seeking conservative alternatives to traditional restorative approaches.

The funding comes as MINISH continues to expand globally, driven by growing demand for minimally invasive dental treatments.

The company has trained hundreds of clinicians across Asia, with growing adoption in Japan and upcoming expansion into the United States.

The Global Shift: 30 Japanese Doctors Master the MINISH Protocol

The investment follows the successful conclusion of the 17th Global MINISH Veneers Training Course in Seoul. Underscoring international demand, 30 dentists and their lead assistants flew from Japan to participate in an intensive three-day masterclass. The program highlights a global shift away from aggressive traditional veneers toward a more precise, biomimetic approach that prioritizes natural enamel preservation.

MINISH Technology is leading this evolution by offering an end-to-end clinical ecosystem that integrates 0.1mm precision fabrication, specialized dental blocks, and world-class clinical education, equipping doctors to deliver results that were previously thought impossible.

A Step-by-Step Masterclass in Precision

The training is designed as a practical, step-by-step guide to the MINISH methodology that clinicians can apply immediately.

• Day 1: Advanced diagnostics and pre-treatment planning focused on preserving the physical properties of natural enamel.
• Day 2: Digital workflows and lab-clinician collaboration, featuring bonding protocols for long-term durability and tooth health.
• Day 3: A live, one-day MINISH Veneer patient demonstration and clinical presentations by leading MINISH providers, showcasing real cases.

Led by CEO Dr. Jung-ho Kang and Dr. Sang-gil Lee, the program concluded with an induction ceremony, welcoming the participants into the Global MINISH Provider Network.

About MINISH Technology

MINISH Technology is a health-tech startup dedicated to dental longevity through biomimetic restoration. By replacing damaged tooth structure with proprietary materials that mimic natural enamel, MINISH offers a "No-Drill" alternative to traditional veneers and crowns, integrating 0.1mm precision fabrication with a world-class clinical ecosystem.

The three-day program is an officially recognized Continuing Education (CE) course designed for dental professionals seeking to incorporate minimally invasive, biomimetic restorative techniques into their clinical practice. Following the strong demand and successful completion of its first U.S.-based course last October, the upcoming session is expected to attract dentists from across North America.

The MINISH Course provides comprehensive training in both the philosophy and clinical application of minimally invasive veneers, the company's proprietary tooth restoration solution. Participants will engage in a structured hands-on curriculum covering diagnosis, tooth preparation, digital scanning, bonding protocols, occlusion, and final placement.

Unlike conventional veneer courses that focus primarily on esthetics, the MINISH approach emphasizes the minimal invasiveness and biomimetic philosophy. This philosophy has been developed and refined over 18 years through more than 200,000 clinical cases. Also, one of the great feedbacks they have is faculty - participant ratio. There will be 6 faculty dentists assisting the hands-on practice, while similar courses in the US usually have 1-2 faculty dentists.

Since its launch in 2022, the MINISH Course has trained hundreds of dentists globally, contributing to the rapid expansion of the MINISH Provider network. Graduates of the program may apply to become Certified MINISH Providers upon completing clinical competency assessments and facility evaluations.

Dentists who are already practicing veneers find it interesting to compare with existing veneer techniques, while dentists who didn't practice veneers before find an opportunity to expand their clinical treatment scope as the MINISH philosophy can be applied across a wide range of indications. Here is what previous course participants say about it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GYv6P5gWSic 

The upcoming training in Brea reflects MINISH Veneers USA continued commitment to expanding its presence in the United States, one of the world's most advanced and competitive healthcare markets. By bringing its full hands-on training program to North America, the company aims to provide local practitioners with direct access to its clinical protocols and treatment philosophy.

Representative Dr.Kang from MINISH Veneers stated, "As interest in minimally invasive and biomimetic dentistry continues to grow, we are seeing strong demand from U.S. dentists seeking more conservative alternatives to traditional restorative approaches. This course represents an important step in making the MINISH approach more accessible globally."

The course is limited to a select number of participants to ensure an intensive, hands-on learning experience. You can apply here if you are a dentist seeking for reserving your patients original tooth structure. https://minishveneers.com/us-veneers-training-course/ 

The three-day course was held from October 24 to 26 at the VITA North America training center in Orange County, California, as an officially recognized Continuing Education (CE) program for dental professionals in the United States. Although tuition fees were nearly 50% higher than comparable local programs, the course sold out quickly, demonstrating strong interest among participants.

The MINISH Course covers both the philosophy and theory behind MINISH Veneers, the company's proprietary tooth restoration solution, along with a comprehensive hands-on curriculum that includes tooth preparation, scanning, bonding, occlusion, and placement. Launched in 2022, the program aims to train dentists in MINISH Veneers–based treatments, known as MINISH Doctors, and to expand the global network of MINISH Providers. As of October 2025, a total of 342 dentists have completed the course across 15 courses.

This course marked the first time that the MINISH Course was conducted outside Korea. While MINISH Veneers had previously hosted clinical seminars in Tokyo and Beverly Hills, this was the first comprehensive training program held overseas that included hands-on practical sessions. In Japan, many local dentists have preferred to attend the course in Korea, where they can participate in training, tour MINISH facilities, and engage with existing MINISH Providers. As a result, three in-person courses for international dentists were held in Korea in November 2023, April 2024, and September 2024.

Graduates of the program can apply to become MINISH Providers after completing clinical proficiency and qualification assessments, as well as an on-site facility evaluation. As of October 2025, there are a total of 75 MINISH Providers worldwide, including 43 in Korea, 29 in Japan, one in the United States, one in Canada, and one in Vietnam.

The MINISH Course for international dentists is held four times a year, with two in Japan and two in the United States.

A representative from MINISH Technology stated, "Hosting our first training program in the United States, the world's largest healthcare market, marks a significant milestone in our global expansion. With our presence now extending beyond Asia and into North America, we are establishing a strong foundation to grow as a truly global health-tech company."

Following its inaugural overseas seminar in Tokyo earlier this year, MINISH Veneers brought its advanced veneer solution and minimally invasive restorative philosophy to a U.S. audience. The six-hour event, held at The West Hollywood EDITION, welcomed more than 80 local dentists from across the U.S..

The program introduced MINISH veneers' proprietary restorative system, presented real-world clinical cases, and outlined the company's plans to build a provider network in the U.S. Speakers also shared insights into practice models from established MINISH veneers providers in Asia and the company's broader North American strategy.

"To present our solution in one of the world's most advanced dental markets is an incredible milestone," said a MINISH spokesperson. "With our first U.S. provider clinic already operating in Los Angeles, we're now focused on expanding our footprint across North America."

MINISH Veneers currently operates 75 provider clinics worldwide, including 43 in Korea, 29 in Japan, and one clinic each in the U.S., Canada, and Vietnam. Out of the respondents, more than 81% of dentists present at the seminar expressed interest in joining the MINISH veneers provider network.

TOKYO, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On the 17th, Minish Technology successfully concluded its first-ever clinical case seminar and corporate presentation in Japan. The event, held the previous day at Shiodome Season Terrace in Minato City, Tokyo, drew over 100 dentists from across the country, demonstrating significant interest in Minish's innovative approach to dental restoration.

The seminar covered origins and development of Minish, its clinical applications, and case studies from Minish Members Clinics (MMC). It also provided insights into Minish Technology's vision and global expansion strategy.

Attendees were particularly captivated by Minish's innovative approach. The ability to correct misaligned teeth and address irregularities in color, size, shape, and proportion—within a single day—was highly regarded. In addition, the full-mouth restoration capability, extending beyond anterior teeth to molars, received praise. The proven stability of Minish, backed by over 160,000 cases over the past 17 years, further solidified confidence among participants.

Dr. Mamina Aoya, director of Ojima Clinic in Gunma Prefecture, remarked, "I was amazed that such extensive treatments, including full-mouth rehabilitation, are possible. The anti-aging effects of Minish will certainly resonate in Japan, where the aging population is significant."

Dr. Yoshishige Taniguchi, director of Taniguchi Dental Clinic in Saitama Prefecture and a board member of Japanese Academy of Anti-Aging Dentistry, added, "I am eager to introduce Minish to our organization as soon as possible."

Dr. Shuji Imatomi, director of Imatomi Dental Clinic in Hokkaido, shared his motivation for attending: "Given the high proportion of non-insurance treatments in Japan, I wanted to explore effective treatment options. I plan to adopt Minish at my clinic soon."

The enthusiasm from this seminar is set to carry over to the upcoming Minish Academy in April, which will be held in South Korea for Japanese dentists. Notably, 45% of the Japanese dentists who completed the Minish Academy program in November last year have since joined MMC. Currently, MMCs offering Minish treatments in Japan are located in Tokyo's Shinjuku, Gunma Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, and five other regions.

Choi RockSun, PR manager at MINISH Technology Inc. stated, "This seminar reaffirmed the recognition that Minish is not merely a complement to orthodontic or aesthetic treatments, but rather a comprehensive solution for dental restoration. Given the strong response, we expect to expand the number of MMCs in Japan to 50 locations within the year."

The seminar will cover key topics, including:

• The philosophy and history of MINISH
• Case presentations highlighting MINISH as substitution for mouthpiece orthodontics
• MINISH cases of full-mouth restoration

Additionally, there will be a marketing session led by Funai Soken, discussing dental market trends and MINISH potentials.

MINISH is an innovative teeth restoration solution that can correct teeth alignment, color, size, shape, and proportion in just one day. It has gained significant popularity in South Korea, with over 500 satisfied clients, including celebrities and business leaders. MINISH has an impressive 16-year history with more than 160,000 clinical cases.

The demand for MINISH in the Japanese market is skyrocketing. Last November, 17 Japanese dentists completed Global MINISH Academy program held in Seoul, South Korea. Currently, six MINISH Members Clinics (MMC) in Japan offer MINISH treatment. They are located in Shinjuku (Tokyo), Gunma Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, and other regions.

Choi RockSun, PR manager at MINISH Technology Inc, stated, "Interest in MINISH is rising in the Japanese dental market as an alternative to mouthpiece orthodontics. We hope this seminar will provide Japanese dentists with a deeper understanding of the high-end dental treatment, MINISH."

Participants were satisfied with MINISH and shared plans to implement MINISH treatment into their practice. Currently, there is only one MMC in Shinjuku, Japan.

The Global MINISH Academy was held from December 28 to 30, at the MINISH Dental Hospital in Gangnam, Seoul. Seventeen Japanese dentists participated in the program. It included basic training on the philosophy and principles of MINISH treatment, as well as hands-on practice in preparation, scanning, bonding, occlusion, setting, and also a one-day live demonstration of the whole procedure.

Japanese dentists from Tokyo, Gunma Prefecture, and Gifu Prefecture, including private practitioners and clinic-based doctors, were mesmerized by MINISH's ability to transform misaligned or irregularly shaped teeth by enhancing their color, size, shape, and proportion—all in just one day.

Dr. Emi Takeda from "Dental Alien", which is planned to open in February 2025 in Daikanyama, Tokyo, said, "MINISH achieves outstanding aesthetics, structural restoration, and functionality with minimal teeth-shaving. I'm excited to offer MINISH to patients dealing with gum recession or teeth sensitivity after orthodontic treatment."

Dr. Ryo Ito from "Ojima Dental Clinic" in Gunma Prefecture added, "MINISH is an excellent treatment option for patients who do not have the time for orthodontic procedures. For example, people who are preparing for important occasions like weddings."

Dr. Yoshiki Nishizawa from Takasaki Dental Clinic admired the anti-aging benefits of MINISH, saying, "The ability to restore worn, stained, and damaged teeth with MINISH is truly exceptional."

Masaki Hayashizaki, the Head of the Hanshokai Medical Corporation, was confident in MINISH's potential in Japan. He stated, "MINISH will succeed in Japan for sure. I plan to introduce MINISH treatments to patients through the dental clinics affiliated with our medical corporation."

A representative from MINISH Technology Inc., the supplier of MINISH units, stated, "To support MMCs in Japan, we are completing the establishment of a local branch by December. We are committed to expand our global network and deliver better treatment experiences in the future."

At MINISH Academy, participants will explore the philosophy and principles of MINISH, an innovative treatment designed to restore misaligned or irregular teeth to a healthy, aesthetically pleasing smile. A total of 190 dentists completed MINISH Academy by November 2024.

This is the first training program tailored specifically for Japanese dentists. There will be 20 participants from Tokyo and nearby areas. They will be introduced to MINISH as an alternative to clear aligner orthodontics.

Unlike clear aligners, which focus primarily on straightening teeth, MINISH addresses a wider range of dental concerns. It restores teeth by filling gaps with restorative materials for recessed teeth and refining protruding teeth without unnecessary teeth-shaving. Even though clear aligners can straighten teeth, orthodontics cannot address issues like microdontia, discoloration, or irregular shapes—problems that MINISH can resolve in just one day. Furthermore, with MINISH it helps avoid side effects such as cavities caused by interproximal enamel reduction or poor oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment.

An official of MINISH Technology Inc. stated that MINISH is a well-established dental treatment, proven itself by more than 150,000 cases over 16 years. They hope this program will open new opportunities for MINISH to expand to Japan. 

MINISH is widely recognized for its high-quality dental care, having been chosen by around 500 of the world's leading entrepreneurs, K-pop stars, and celebrities. The treatment is particularly popular among K-pop trainees who are on the verge of debuting. The unique aspect of MINISH is its processing of the MinishBlock, a material that closely resembles the properties of natural teeth. MinishBlock is exclusively supplied by German dental material manufacturer, Vita. To date, MINISH has handled approximately 150,000 cumulative cases and offers a maximum warranty period of up to 10 years. Earlier this year, a dedicated department for MINISH treatment was established at Vinmec General Hospital in Vietnam, and 10 dental clinics in Japan are also set to introduce MINISH treatment.

MINISH Dental Hospital Korea is the leading hospital in the country for performing the most MINISH treatment, a solution that restores damaged teeth – whether cavitated, worn,misaligned, or aged – back to their healthy natural function and appearance. With a team of around 90 people, including 13 dentists, 40s medical staff and 30s dental lab technicians, the hospital operates in a standalone 14-story building. All treatment rooms are private, serving only one patient, ensuring a personalized and confidential experience. The advanced equipment used allows MINISH treatment to be completed in just one day.

Kim Hae-kyung, Managing Director of the Global Business Division at MINISH Dental Hospital Korea, expressed optimism, stating, "We are excited to introduce Korea's cutting-edge dental treatment in Indonesia and hope this seminar will pave the way for establishing clinics offering MINISH treatment in the country, following our successful launches in Canada, Japan, and Vietnam."
