Sillim Station Dental Clinic: Maxillary 6-Anterior RealNate, Early Cavities, White Spots, and the Restoration Process After Caries Removal with Veneers

2026.04.06 ~ 2026.04.20

Hello,

I’m Dr. Park Jeong-gi from Seoul Remember Dental Clinic near Sillim Station.

Even when there doesn’t seem to be a major problem from far away, if you look closely, there are often whitish white spots on the front tooth surfaces.

This is part of early cavities caused by demineralization of the enamel, the outermost layer of the tooth, and it affects aesthetics more than you might expect.

Especially under bright lighting, teeth can look spotted or stand out in photos and videos, so many women tend to be very concerned about it.

Today, at our Sillim Station dental clinic, I’ll explain the relevant indications while looking at a case improved using RealNate.

1. Before treatment

In this case, the overall alignment is good, but white spots caused by early caries are observed in several places on the front teeth.

Because the tooth surface has been demineralized, it is difficult to improve with scaling or whitening, unlike simple staining.

Especially when it is spread across the front teeth,

• the teeth can look mottled
• color imbalance
• reduced aesthetics when smiling

These issues can occur, and the patient may also feel psychologically self-conscious.

2. Why choose RealNate?

In cases like this, at our Sillim Station dental clinic, we judge that restoring the maxillary 6 front teeth with “RealNate,” a type of veneer, would be the best option.

It is not simply about covering the teeth in white. By recreating the translucency and surface texture of natural teeth, and with minimal reduction, the early caries area can be addressed.

• Naturally covers white spots
• Improves harmony in tooth length and proportion
• Restores the color of the front teeth
• A design that is not too thick or burdensome
• A natural shape

I think this may be the best method that can meet all of these conditions.

3. After treatment

At our Sillim Station dental clinic, let me show you the after photos.

The teeth look much more organized and clean,

and compared with the beginning, it is not just that they became brighter,

but the early cavities that looked like stains improved, the smoothness and uniformity of the tooth surface returned, and the front teeth overall changed to look much softer and more stable.

Also, rather than making the prosthetics unnecessarily bright white, we designed them in a color that harmonizes with the natural teeth, so they look much better when smiling.

4. Do white spots have to be treated?

You may be wondering at this point, so let me briefly summarize at our Sillim Station dental clinic.

White spots in the early caries stage often go unnoticed because they do not hurt.

However, as time passes, if the area becomes more stained or progresses into active caries, more extensive treatment may be needed.

That is why, at our Sillim Station dental clinic, I wanted to let you know that there are methods that can improve aesthetics while also treating cavities.

Veneers are a treatment focused on aesthetics, but they can also help maintain teeth in a healthier way functionally while minimizing tooth reduction.

So if you have a similar issue, please consider planning a direction and method that suits you.
