Front Tooth Treatment: Natural Looks Are the Answer! Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic’s Truly Natural Laminate, “Realnate”

Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic, Seoul Remember

I am Director Park Jeong-gi.

Many people have concerns about their front teeth.

The front teeth are the teeth included in the anterior region, and they are called that because they are literally at the very front.

Especially when several teeth in the anterior region have problems at the same time, you may feel at a loss about how to treat them.

Today, we will look at how to restore natural-looking front teeth through a case in which six maxillary anterior teeth were treated with laminate.

Treatment period: 2025.09.02 ~ 2025.09.15

Pre-treatment condition analysis

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic,

showing the initial visit,

several issues are observed in the maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines.

The color is somewhat yellowish,

the spacing between teeth (diastema) is abnormally wide,

and the shape is irregular.

Such a condition goes beyond a simple cosmetic issue

and can also affect speech and chewing function.

As air escapes through the gaps,

pronunciation becomes inaccurate,

and when eating,

food may get stuck in the empty spaces,

causing discomfort.

What is Realnate?

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic,

let me briefly explain.

"Real + Raminate"

It is a minimally prepared prosthetic treatment that preserves your natural teeth while restoring aesthetics to look real.

Unlike existing prosthetics, the amount of tooth reduction is small,

so the risk of pulp damage is significantly lower.

Also, thanks to advances in materials,

it can reproduce the translucency and color so well that it is difficult to distinguish from natural teeth,

making it very natural.

Changes after treatment

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic,

let’s look at the result after taking an impression of the current tooth shape

and attaching six Realnates matched to it.

A total of six front teeth, numbers 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, and 23,

have been aligned naturally.

The spaces between the teeth have all been closed,

and the shade has also been improved uniformly.

What is especially noteworthy is that

the Realnates are symmetrical left and right and blend harmoniously.

By matching the size and proportions of corresponding teeth,

and making the lateral incisors and canines a natural size with that in mind,

the overall balance has been achieved.

Also, because the gum line and fit are highly compatible,

there is no artificial feeling at all.

Also, when biting comfortably with the molars,

at the initial visit, the upper teeth covered the lower teeth quite a lot,

and the uneven length of the incisal edges was very noticeable,

but afterward, these problems also seem to have been resolved.

The lengths of the incisal edges, which are the ends of the crowns,

were made uniform,

and by allowing the lower teeth to show slightly more,

the alignment that had appeared like a deep bite was also partially improved.

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic,

for successful front tooth treatment,

we consider multiple factors.

First, when making Realnates,

the shade should harmonize with the surrounding teeth and skin tone.

Second, the shape and size of the prosthesis should be designed to match the overall facial proportions.

Third, gum health must be maintained.

Since long-term stable results depend on this,

we pay careful attention to the margin up to 1 mm when making them.

In this case, all of these factors were satisfied,

and because the before-and-after change was dramatically good,

the patient likely had a high level of satisfaction.

Advantages of Realnate

Realnate at Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic

has several advantages because it is a minimally prepared prosthesis.

Because almost no tooth reduction is needed,

most of the natural tooth structure is preserved.

This plays a major role in maintaining strength

and minimizing sensitivity.

It also causes less irritation to the gums,

so the risk of gingival inflammation is lower.

Most importantly, because the internal nerve is not touched,

it can be performed without root canal treatment.

Future maintenance

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic,

we explain that proper maintenance is more important

than simply receiving treatment.

Prosthetics such as Realnate are highly durable,

but oral hygiene management is essential.

You can maintain them for a long time by keeping your gums healthy through regular scaling and checkups.

If you tend to bite hard foods with your front teeth

or have a teeth-grinding habit, caution is needed.

And you should keep the area around the prosthesis clean

through proper brushing and flossing.

The front teeth are an important factor

that determines first impressions.

Even if several front teeth have problems like in this case,

they can be restored naturally.

Realnate is becoming increasingly popular

because it preserves natural teeth while showing excellent aesthetics.

We hope you find a clinic that diagnoses and makes them while considering these detailed factors,

so that you can receive treatment that leaves you satisfied.
