Natural, Beautiful Front Teeth Veneer Treatment

By Park Jonguk, DDS, MS — board-certified specialist in conservative dentistry Published

Hello, I am Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic,

the purpose of front teeth veneer treatment

is to make teeth beautiful.

Beauty in teeth is a fairly subjective matter,

so it's difficult to say flatly that any one tooth shape is beautiful.

Dentists study

the form of teeth throughout dental school.

That is, they learn what kind of tooth shape is considered a beautiful shape.

Among the content learned in this process,

for the front teeth,

they learn concepts like natural three-dimensionality, line angles, and lobes.

They also learn about the color of teeth.

A tooth is not a single uniform color throughout;

the color varies depending on the part of the tooth,

and the translucency varies as well, they learn.

A natural tooth must be a combination of this varied three-dimensionality, color, and translucency,

and it must be beautiful when that combination comes together well.

Recently, one-day veneers that are computer-designed and machine-milled

cannot express this kind of natural tooth.

As a result, they end up looking flat, awkward, and artificial.

Natural and beautiful —

I'd like to show you the results of veneer treatment at Dream Dental Clinic.

The patient decided to undergo veneer treatment for a variety of issues.

There were fractured teeth,

undersized (peg) teeth,

and malformed teeth as well.

The tooth proportions were also poor.

The patient also wanted the teeth to be brighter.

We proceed with an analysis of the current teeth,

and this analysis starts with the whole face,

looking at the relationship with the lips and the position relative to the whole face,

then analyzing the proportion and size of the teeth.

Based on this analysis,

we work out how the teeth can be changed to a better proportion

through a precision wax-up diagnosis.

In this process, we can confirm both the amount of tooth reduction and the expected result.

Please refer to the link below for the detailed process.

Using this diagnosed result,

we proceed with the front teeth veneer treatment.

The veneer treatment has been completed.

You can see that the tooth shape now has a natural three-dimensionality and color built into it.

The proportion between the teeth has also improved considerably.

It now has the natural and beautiful

tooth shape it needed.

Checking from a different angle as well,

you can see how beautifully the teeth have changed.

The harmony with the gums is also good,

and even though time has passed since treatment,

you can see that the gum health has been well maintained.

Creating this kind of natural veneer is quite demanding work.

It is a world apart from the simple, computer-made-in-a-day method.
