A Front Teeth Veneer Case at Our Clinic Near Apgujeong Station

Hello. I'm Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic near Apgujeong Station.

Treatment that makes the front teeth prettier is called cosmetic tooth reshaping.

Just like cosmetic surgery that makes the eyes or nose prettier,

it's treatment that makes the teeth prettier, which is why it's called cosmetic tooth reshaping.

The methods for reshaping teeth include veneers and all-ceramic crowns.

The two methods differ in how much tooth structure is removed.

Simply put, a veneer involves removing only a minimal amount of tooth structure

and bonding the ceramic onto it through “bonding,”

while an all-ceramic crown involves reducing the entire tooth by a set amount using a defined method,

capping the whole tooth with ceramic like putting on a hat,

held in place by a combination of bonding and the friction of fitting over the tooth.

For the health of the tooth, veneers are generally the better option,

but there are also cases that really do need to be treated with an all-ceramic crown.

These include cases where the tooth is badly chipped, severely discolored, or has extensive decay.

There are various reasons people choose these methods to make their teeth look better.

The case we'll look at today addresses both a tooth-shape problem and chipping at the same time.

The edges of the teeth were slightly chipped.

The shape of the teeth wasn't very attractive either.

The current condition of the teeth needs to be closely diagnosed.

Although the teeth were somewhat chipped,

the shape issue wasn't severe enough to be a major problem,

so here at our clinic near Apgujeong Station, we decided to treat it with front teeth veneers.

Through a precise wax-up diagnostic process,

we decide in advance how to treat the case and how much tooth structure to remove, and where.

Please refer to the link below for more on our diagnostic process and the veneer approach used at Dream Dental Clinic near Apgujeong Station.

The diagnosis is carried out through this kind of process.

We measure the current proportions of the teeth and evaluate how much they protrude.

We determine how much tooth structure needs to be removed to achieve the result the patient wants,

and then use wax to shape a preview of the teeth on top of that.

Tooth reduction is then carried out as planned.

Keeping the amount of reduction to a minimum is very important.

The front teeth veneer treatment has been completed.

The shape of the teeth is now far more beautiful,

the teeth look evenly aligned,

and the color has a bright, clear feel to it.

The tooth shape is designed and fabricated to look natural, with a color and translucency that feels just like a natural tooth.

A same-day fabrication method, or

even a handmade approach without a proper buildup technique,

simply can't produce this level of natural-looking result.

Even viewed from various angles,

the natural tooth feel comes through,

and beautiful front teeth veneers were completed.
