Before-and-After Veneer Photos for Gapped Teeth, from a Clinic Skilled in Veneers

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

Hello, I'm Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic, a clinic skilled in veneer treatment.

Having provided veneer treatment in Apgujeong-dong for a long time,

I've accumulated quite a number of cases,

so today I'd like to gather just the cases involving gapped teeth

and post a comparison of before-and-after photos.

The defining feature of the veneers I make is their natural look.

Veneers that look artificial and unnatural are very simple to make.

They're designed by computer and machine-milled from ceramic,

which is far simpler than having a person make them by hand.

Veneers that fully capture the look and feel of a natural tooth,

on the other hand, are quite difficult to make.

In particular, to make them blend harmoniously with the other natural teeth,

you have to preserve the sense of translucency while also blending a variety of colors.

Another advantage of handmade work is that it allows less tooth reduction.

Let's take a look at cases of handmade veneers

that are capable of this kind of varied expression.

Case 1

There were gaps between the teeth,

the teeth were quite small,

and all the teeth were protruding.

At our clinic, known for skilled veneer work, we carried out veneer treatment using minimal reduction.

With only a minimal amount of reduction,

we achieved a very beautiful result.

Case 2

As in the case above, there were gaps between the teeth.

With an undersized tooth as well, it didn't look great.

Proceeding with no-prep veneers,

we took a photo with the ceramic veneer placed on only half the teeth.

It was finished looking natural and beautiful, just like this.

Case 3

This is likewise a case with gaps between the teeth.

Given the degree of wear, it's worth considering that there may also be an occlusal issue.

For the veneers,

we made only minimal adjustments to the discolored areas and sharp edges.

We fabricate an extremely thin veneer.

It's a thinness you could never dream of achieving with a computer-made, same-day method.

It was finished looking very natural.

Case 4

These are all fairly similar cases,

but the diagnostic method differs from case to case,

and the treatment method differs as well.

Sometimes we reduce the tooth, and sometimes we don't.

Precise reduction is very important, depending on the angle of the tooth and the degree of protrusion.

In this case, the two front teeth were too long, so we shortened them

and smoothed out only the rough and chipped areas.

This too was finished looking natural.

The veneers at our clinic, Dream Dental Clinic, skilled in veneer work,

are not the awkward, artificial kind,

but natural, beautiful veneers.
