Line angles
The ridges that define a tooth’s overall form. Refining form alone can transform an impression.
Dental Design Know-How
Designed for your face,
with the feel of natural teeth
Changing the shape of a tooth is only the beginning. Its texture and translucency must survive the redesign — that is what makes a veneer suit your face and feel like your own tooth.
PORCELAIN VENEER Dental Design
What is dental design?
The line where gum meets tooth, the grain of the surface, the clear translucency at the edge — dental design means observing what natural teeth do and building it into the plan. A seamless gumline without black triangles, and that clarity at the edge, is anti-aging for teeth.
Three Elements
The three elements of dental design
We design and judge every case against three criteria.
Surface texture
The fine grain of a natural tooth surface. When the grain lives, nothing looks artificial.
Incisal translucency
The clear edge is the heart of naturalness — it takes minimal reduction and precise fabrication to achieve.
The varied hues, translucency, and natural surface of a real tooth are hard to reproduce from a single monochrome block. Layer by layer, built as thin as possible — that is how the aurora-like translucency comes alive.
Double Check
Every design is checked twice
Not on a 3D screen — on something you can hold.
First — a real wax-up
A wax-up on a plaster model of your own teeth shows directly whether and how much reduction is needed — which helps keep it to a minimum.
Second — the provisional stage
Details are refined once more on the temporary veneers: a step for solid bonding and a truly your-own look.
Dedicated tools & microscope
A veneer-specific prep kit and a microscope that resolves 0.1mm differences keep the work exactly on plan.
Dedicated Prep Kit
A dedicated prep kit for controlled reduction
Commissioned from DIATECH and made to Dr. Park Jonguk’s design, this dedicated veneer bur kit is engraved “Dr. PARK JONGUK LAMINATE VENEER PREP KIT.” It standardizes the preparation tools to keep reduction consistently within the planned amount.
Feldspathic Porcelain
The material — feldspathic porcelain
Feldspathic ceramic is demanding to work with. But among porcelains it can be fabricated down to 0.1mm and comes closest to the esthetics of natural teeth — which is why we chose it.
Platinum Foil Process
Hand-built on platinum foil, in six steps
A 0.1mm veneer is layered and fired on platinum foil — a traditional, fully manual process.
- 01
Full model
A model reproducing even the gum contours captures the tooth-gum relationship exactly.
- 02
Platinum foil forming
Each tooth is wrapped in thin platinum foil — the base for ultra-thin layering.
- 03
Layering
The tooth form is built up layer by layer, shaped to meet the gum naturally.
- 04
Design refinement
Overall lines and per-tooth angles are trimmed into their final design.
- 05
Firing
Fired in a high-temperature kiln until it hardens like porcelain ware.
- 06
Finish
Translucency and color come alive — finished close to the feel of a natural tooth.
The width ratio of natural front teeth — 1.4 : 1 : 0.65. Beauty has evidence behind it, and we build our designs on the studied proportions and optics of natural teeth.
This page is general information about the treatment. Diagnosis, treatment options, and duration vary by individual condition — an in-person examination is how we plan your actual care.
