Front Teeth Veneer Treatment for Natural, Beautiful Teeth

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

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

Veneer treatment is a form of reshaping

that changes the shape of the front teeth.

It's like reshaping the teeth the way you would the eyes or nose.

There are various reasons for cosmetic tooth reshaping.

Most of the time, it's done to change the shape and color of the teeth.

First, in recent years, veneer treatment is sometimes rebranded under a different name

and talked about as if it were a different treatment altogether.

Veneer treatment

is a general term for a treatment method,

so using a different name doesn't make it a different treatment.

Another recent trend

is designing and machining veneers by computer

so the whole process can be finished in a single day.

A considerable number are likely made this way,

since the fabrication process is simple

and relies on equipment to handle everything,

rather than on the dental technician's experience and skill,

but the problem is that the results end up looking too unnatural.

At Dream Dental Clinic, using a handmade approach,

our goal is natural-looking veneers.

In a situation where both the alignment and the shape of the teeth had problems,

veneers that reshape the teeth naturally

were used to transform the color and shape of the teeth beautifully.

The expression in these teeth is quite varied.

The varied textures on the tooth surface,

the natural shading that changes from area to area,

and even the translucency at the tooth edges seen in young teeth —

all of these varied qualities are expressed.

Expressing natural beauty through veneers

is an extremely difficult task.

As a result, many clinics give up on this process

and switch to the same-day method instead.

When the shape and color of the teeth aren't good,

people lose confidence in their smile,

and if they end up covering their teeth even while speaking,

the upper lip doesn't move naturally when speaking or smiling,

and the lower teeth end up showing more than the upper teeth.

Showing more of the lower teeth than the upper teeth when speaking or smiling is a characteristic associated with aging,

so it makes a person look older.

Beautiful teeth

give a person confidence

and restore a youthful look when speaking or smiling.

For changing both tooth alignment and color at the same time,

veneers are an excellent option.

Fitting all of these varied qualities

into such a thin piece of ceramic

is what makes a natural, beautiful result possible.
