Concerned About the Color and Shape of Your Front Teeth? Seoul National University Station Dental Clinic—Maxillary Six Anterior Veneers Extending to the Canines

Treatment period: 2025.05.07 ~ 2025.05.14

Hello,

I am Dr. Park Jeong-gi, director of Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National University Station.

Because the first thing people see when you smile is

your front teeth,

if the color or shape of your teeth is uneven,

you may find yourself covering your mouth in photos

or hesitating to smile naturally.

In particular, issues such as white spots on the tooth surface, cavities,

or yellowish discoloration

may lead to aesthetic stress

even if they do not significantly affect your oral health.

Today, we will look at a RealNate case involving the maxillary anterior teeth

prepared by Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National University Station

to learn when aesthetic prosthetic treatment

may be helpful.

1. Consultation About Front-Tooth Concerns

2025.05.07

In this case, the color and shape of the front teeth were uneven,

with areas that had become yellowish as the teeth weakened.

However, the oral examination showed no major problems,

such as severely progressing cavities or periodontal disease.

With only minor improvements, the long-standing concern

could be addressed relatively easily.

2. Considering the Treatment Options

2025.05.07

At Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National University Station,

we determined that because the tooth color was not uniform overall

and subtle surface irregularities were present,

which reduced the aesthetic appearance somewhat when smiling,

scaling or whitening alone might not produce the desired result.

Scaling only removes simple surface deposits and tartar,

while whitening can help brighten the shade,

it has limitations when applied only to specific areas

and cannot change the shape itself.

3. Choosing RealNate

The veneers explained today by Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National Station

are one type of prosthetic treatment that restores a natural appearance

while minimizing tooth reduction.

The treatment involves attaching an extremely thin ceramic material

to the tooth surface to improve its color and shape.

Because it changes the teeth to look as real as natural teeth,

it is called RealNate.

Conventional crown treatment

often requires removing tooth structure from the entire tooth,

whereas RealNate requires only minimal reshaping of the necessary areas,

so it has the advantage of preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

In addition, the natural translucency characteristic of ceramic materials

creates less of an artificial appearance

and can reproduce a color similar to that of natural teeth.

4. Treatment Process

In this case,

treatment was performed on a total of six anterior teeth,

from tooth 13, the upper right canine,

to tooth 23, the upper left canine.

2025.05.14

At Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National University Station,

we first analyze the current oral condition in detail

and thoroughly discuss the shape and shade desired by the patient

before proceeding.

After performing minimal preparation,

customized RealNate restorations are fabricated

to suit the patient's facial shape, lip line, and bite.

Before placing the completed restorations,

we carefully check the color, length, and symmetry.

Only when the patient is satisfied

do we perform the final bonding.

Finally, the bite is adjusted carefully

to accommodate the changed alignment of the teeth.

5. A Dramatic Change

2025.05.07 ~ 2025.05.14

Before treatment, an uneven color caused by particularly dark areas

was noticeable,

and subtle differences in the shape of each tooth

resulted in a lack of overall harmony.

After the RealNate restorations were bonded,

the teeth appeared more uniformly arranged overall,

creating a brighter and cleaner impression.

The alignment of the teeth also became more even,

allowing us to create a much more balanced facial appearance.

Remember Dental Clinic near Seoul National University Station

does not simply aim to make teeth brighter and whiter.

We pursue a natural beauty

that harmonizes with each patient's face.

With RealNate,

rather than an overly bright or artificial appearance,

you can expect a natural result that looks like your own teeth.

However, if another method could provide a better result,

or if cavities or root canal treatment are also required,

crown treatment may be more appropriate in some cases.

The important thing is to accurately diagnose your current oral condition

and choose the method that is right for you.

Because the front teeth affect not only function

but also your first impression,

we hope you achieve a satisfying result

through thorough consultation and detailed planning.

Thank you for reading.
