Changing the Standard for Veneers,
The Difference of 0.1 mm WISHNATE
Hello,
I am Director Yeo Sang-ho of Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic,
where we create beauty on a foundation of health.
When discussing veneers with patients,
there are several questions I hear most often.
“Do my teeth need to be shaved down a lot?”
“Won’t they look artificial over time?”
“Can they look natural?”

In the past,
some degree of tooth reduction was considered unavoidable
for achieving beautiful results.
But I have a slightly different perspective.
Good veneers are not created
by shaving down a large amount of tooth structure.
What matters more is how beautifully the teeth can be restored
while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.
That is why Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic
has chosen a slightly different approach.
It is WISHNATE.

We think about long-lasting teeth
before simply focusing on beautiful teeth.

Once natural tooth structure is removed,
it does not grow back.
That is why veneer treatment
is not simply about making the front teeth look beautiful.
It also requires careful consideration of how to preserve,
as healthily as possible, the teeth that will be used
for decades to come.
At Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic,
we believe that minimizing reduction
and preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible
is the beginning of good veneer treatment.
Why Have Conventional Veneers
Felt Like Such a Burden?
Magok Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic
Conventional veneers often required
relatively extensive tooth reduction
for aesthetic purposes.
As the amount of reduction increases,
the loss of natural tooth structure also increases.
Over time, discoloration or deterioration at the margins may occur,
and the possibility of chipping or debonding may also increase.
In some cases, materials with lower strength
than natural teeth are used,
so ongoing maintenance may be necessary
with long-term use.
Of course, this does not apply to every veneer.
However, to overcome these limitations,
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic considered a new direction.
WISHNATE Thinks About
‘Preservation’ Before ‘Reduction’

WISHNATE begins by planning
how much natural tooth structure can be preserved.
Only the necessary areas may be selectively
and minimally refined by approximately 0.1 mm.
In some cases, the design can be completed
without any reduction at all.
After analyzing the locations of tooth wear,
the degree of protrusion,
spaces between the teeth,
and the overall tooth alignment,
only the necessary areas are designed precisely.
In other words,
rather than reducing every tooth in the same way,
a customized design is created for each individual.
The Difference Between Conventional Veneers and WISHNATE
Magok Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic
| Conventional veneers | WISHNATE |
|---|
| Relatively extensive tooth reduction | Minimal or selective reduction |
| The amount of reduction is often uniform | Customized design based on the condition of tooth wear |
| Possibility of discoloration and deterioration over time | Natural margins and high aesthetic quality |
| Possibility of chipping | Design that considers strength similar to natural teeth |
| Uniform design | Design tailored to the individual’s face and teeth |
WISHNATE is not simply about making veneers thinner.
It embodies a treatment philosophy
that understands and preserves the structure of natural teeth.

The Remarkable Natural Look Created by 0.1 mm

0.1 mm

At first glance, it may seem like a very small difference.
But in veneers, this small difference
can completely change the result.
The thinner the veneer,
the more naturally the color of the natural tooth shows through,
and the way light passes through it
becomes very similar to that of a natural tooth.
This makes it possible to express
a clear, translucent color that looks like your original teeth,
rather than an artificially white, attached appearance.
It is also why, even when veneers are bonded without reduction,
they can create highly natural three-dimensional contours
without looking bulky or protruding.

The Difference in Detail Created by an In-House Dental Laboratory

Even with excellent materials,
who makes them and how closely they communicate during production
ultimately determine the result.
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic operates
its own in-house dental laboratory.

If there is even a small detail that is not quite right,
it is corrected immediately and refined again.
As this process is repeated,
more natural WISHNATE veneers are created.
Everyone’s teeth are different,
so the design should be different too.

Before-and-after WISHNATE treatment, Magok Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic
There is no single definition of beautiful teeth.
Some people want to naturally close gaps
between their front teeth,
while others want to refine an uneven tooth line.
Others may want to restore worn teeth
in a healthy way.
WISHNATE designs a smile unique to each person,
taking into account the condition of their teeth,
the balance of their face,
their smile,
and the line of their lips.
WISHNATE is recommended
for people who:

Want to restore worn front teeth

Naturalness Begins with Philosophy,
Not Just Technique

Veneers are not simply
a treatment for making teeth whiter.
What matters more is how beautifully
the result can be created while preserving natural tooth structure,
and how long that beauty can be maintained.
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic will continue to pursue treatment
that preserves teeth well rather than treatment
that involves extensive reduction.
While making the most of the beauty of natural teeth,
we will create a smile that allows you
to smile confidently for many years to come.
