Front Teeth Veneers for a Beautiful Smile — Dream Dental Clinic, Sinsa-dong
Hello, I'm Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic, Sinsa-dong.
When the shape of a tooth deviates from its normal form,
if it's not a case of the tooth being chipped or broken,
it's often because wear has started from a bad habit,
or because acid reflux or frequent consumption of strongly acidic foods has caused erosion,
or because of a congenital cause, among others.
When these problems occur,
the teeth become unsightly,
and it can eventually become hard to smile with confidence.
Among the treatments available for cases like this,
front teeth veneers minimize damage to the tooth
while making it possible to achieve a natural, beautiful result.
For the hallmarks and process of veneer treatment at our clinic, Dream Dental Clinic, Sinsa-dong, please see the link below.
The teeth likely weren't in ideal shape to begin with,
but in their current state the wear was uneven from tooth to tooth,
so the teeth appeared different sizes and the alignment looked poor as well.
In a state like this, if there's an occlusal problem, the cause must be found and resolved first.
Wear caused by habit likewise needs to have its cause identified and addressed before treatment proceeds.
To improve the shape of the front teeth,
we decided to proceed with veneer treatment.
We predict the change in tooth shape
and decide on the amount of tooth reduction accordingly.
This process is called precision wax-up diagnosis.
Through this process,
we can check both the amount of tooth reduction and the expected result before treatment, all at once.
To treat even the cavities between the teeth at the same time,
we carry out the tooth reduction
and proceed with treatment.
We make temporary teeth to preview the expected result,
and gum recontouring is carried out at the same time.
The ceramic veneers have been fabricated.
As shown in the photo, the natural color and translucency of the teeth are clearly expressed.
The treatment has been completed.
To preserve the feel of natural teeth as much as possible,
we gave the teeth dimensionality and a natural shape,
and reproduced the tooth color naturally as well.
Veneers that are just plain white and opaque
are easy to make.
Making veneers this thin while still capturing every nuance of natural teeth
is the hallmark of our clinic, Dream Dental Clinic, Sinsa-dong.
Rather than being mass-produced by machine like in a factory,
these are premium veneers built up layer by layer by hand.
