Veneers That Bring Large, Protruding Teeth Into Harmony With the Other Teeth
Hello. I am Park Jonguk, director of Dream Dental Clinic.
Veneer treatment is always a continuous series of challenges.
Just like cosmetic surgery on the eyes or nose,
it's a process of changing the shape of the teeth,
so the expression "tooth contouring" gets used.
The teeth need to be beautifully contoured,
but since veneer treatment aims to reduce the teeth as minimally as possible,
there are limits to how much change is possible.
That's why
the phrase "the minimum reduction that can achieve the most beautiful result"
gets used a lot.
Through a precise diagnostic process,
reducing only the minimum,
you always have to keep challenging yourself, researching, and making an effort to achieve the most beautiful treatment possible.
The two front teeth are large and protrude quite noticeably.
One of the adjacent teeth is quite small,
and the other has already been treated with a crown.
It's a case where both the alignment and the size ratio of the teeth need to be improved.
For teeth this large, diagnosis is absolutely essential.
Only with a precise diagnosis
is accurate treatment possible.
In the process of making a wax mock-up of the veneer teeth,
the amount of tooth reduction is also fully checked in advance.
The goal is to beautifully change the proportions of the teeth.
The ratio between teeth, and the width-to-length ratio of each individual tooth, both need to be set carefully.
Please refer to the link below for more on proportions.
After veneer treatment on the large teeth, the proportions of the teeth were changed to look better.
The alignment of the teeth also improved,
and the front teeth, which had looked protruding and oversized, were brought into harmony with the other teeth.
Even viewed from various angles, every single tooth
looks more beautiful, with a translucent feel and a bright feel coming through together.
Veneer treatment that changes size and proportions like this
is a very demanding process.
Thorough planning before treatment
brings a better result.
If you look at the before-and-after comparison of veneer treatment for large teeth,
you can feel a clear difference.
