Maxillary Six-Anterior Veneers with RealNate for a Chipped Front Tooth with a Sharp, Rough Edge

Hello,

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

If a front tooth is chipped and the edge is sharp,

is treatment necessary?

Front teeth not only cut food,

but are also the first area people see when you speak or smile.

Therefore, even a small fracture or change in shape

can lead to aesthetic concerns.

In particular, if the edge of a tooth is chipped

and feels sharp and rough,

it may irritate the lips or tongue,

causing discomfort in many cases.

At our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station,

quite a few patients consider anterior teeth treatment for these reasons.

In addition, because balance between the left and right sides

and harmony of the incisal edges are important for the front teeth,

even a problem with just one tooth

can affect the overall impression.

Therefore,

it is best to receive treatment after having a sufficient consultation

with the attending dentist.

Tooth Fracture and Uneven Incisal Edge Lengths

2026.06.20

Today's case at our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station

shows a fractured incisal edge in the anterior teeth,

with the end appearing rough and sharp.

It is also located in an area that is easily noticeable aesthetically,

so improvement would be beneficial.

In addition, tooth #11 had an incisal edge that was not smooth

and was uneven in height,

while teeth #12 and #22 also showed

an imbalance in left-right symmetry.

These differences may not usually be particularly noticeable,

but they can become more concerning for people who frequently meet others

or have occupations that involve a lot of conversation.

For this reason,

at our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station,

we believe that overall balance

must be considered when providing aesthetic treatment for the anterior teeth.

It is possible to restore only some of the teeth,

but if aesthetics are important,

planning the six maxillary anterior teeth together,

from tooth #13 through tooth #23,

may lead to a more natural result.

This is because each tooth differs subtly in length, shape, and color,

so it can be difficult to achieve complete harmony

with limited restoration alone.

At our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station,

rather than simply creating a bright shade,

we recommend RealNate so that the result can harmonize with the face.

This is a type of veneer treatment

that focuses on creating natural proportions

while taking the individual's tooth shape and smile line into consideration.

Results After Improving the Incisal Edges and Left-Right Balance Together

At our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station,

we used veneers for the six maxillary anterior teeth

to smooth the sharp portion of the fractured tooth #21

and harmonize the previously uneven incisal edge line overall.

We also addressed the difference in shape between teeth #12 and #22

to create more balanced left-right symmetry.

In particular,

for people who speak frequently

or meet others often for work,

even subtle changes in tooth shape

can have a significant impact on satisfaction.

Therefore, the treatment was carried out in a way that could satisfy both function and aesthetics,

while creating a natural smile line

and considering the proportions of the front teeth visible when smiling.

Overall Harmony Is Essential in Aesthetic Treatment for the Front Teeth!

2026.06.20 ~ 2026.06.29

When a front tooth is chipped or the incisal edges are uneven,

it is important to consider the balance with the surrounding teeth

rather than simply restoring the damaged area.

Length and width, left-right symmetry, and the smile line

must all be considered comprehensively

to expect a more natural result.

Anterior veneers are

one treatment method that addresses problems with individual teeth

while also improving the overall impression.

To conclude,

at our dental clinic near Nakseongdae Station,

it is important to determine the direction best suited to you

through a sufficient consultation and precise diagnosis.

Thank you for reading.

This was Dr. Jeong-gi Park, director of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic near Nakseongdae Station.
