Bunny Teeth Veneers, Finished Naturally
Hello. I'm Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic.
As someone whose main focus is veneer treatment,
the question I always wrestle with is whether to do orthodontics
or veneers.
Depending on the situation, one or the other has the advantage,
and sometimes it's genuinely hard to say which is better.
If one option is clearly and definitely better,
the decision is easy.
The ambiguous cases are the problem.
When the alignment isn't good
and the shape and color of the teeth are also poor,
if veneers are needed even after orthodontics,
then as long as the amount of tooth reduction
won't cause serious damage to the tooth,
I recommend veneers,
and if the shape and color of the teeth are already good,
then of course it's better to finish with orthodontics alone.
But if the shape and color of the teeth are poor
and going straight to veneers
is judged to cause too much damage to the teeth,
then to keep tooth reduction to a minimum,
orthodontics should be done first, followed by veneers.
The two front teeth stuck out like bunny teeth,
and their size was also very large compared to the other teeth.
The tooth color was quite yellowed as well,
with a lot of staining on the teeth.
The shape of the teeth, too,
was so excessively triangular that even orthodontics would have a hard time making it look pretty.
Considering everything from the cost to the treatment period,
we weighed all these various factors
and decided on bunny-teeth veneer treatment.
Through the bunny-teeth veneers,
the part the patient most wanted resolved
was exactly this bunny-tooth-like protrusion.
Having only the two front teeth stand out when talking or smiling
was the biggest complaint.
To resolve this,
diagnosis matters most.

Made of ceramic,
the bunny-teeth veneers have been completed.
The alignment of the teeth,
the tooth shape, and even the sense of translucency,
we expressed the beauty of a natural tooth
as fully as possible.
While the thickness is extremely thin,
every kind of varied expression is packed into the tooth.
In this way, the bunny-teeth veneer
treatment was finished.
Even viewed from a variety of angles,
the bunny-tooth look is gone.
On top of that, the teeth became bright and translucent,
and the alignment of the teeth also became very even.
After bunny-teeth veneer treatment,
there are cases that end up looking painfully awkward and artificial,
and that's because, in trying to simplify the fabrication,
not a single detail gets put into the work.
It's thin, but only when this much varied expression is put into it
can it truly be called a work of quality.
