Hello.

I am Kim Yuna, the chief director of Claire Dental Clinic, a new paradigm in Gangnam veneers.

Today, I’d like to record a case that shows how much someone’s impression can change with gum contouring alone.

It seems like today is the day I’m finally writing the treatment log that has been piling up.

This patient had teeth that were already well aligned when smiling, but the gum line was uneven, making the teeth look short and the smile line appear cramped.

They had been considering veneers, but

after evaluation, the condition was such that improving only the gum line would be enough.

  • An impression that makes the teeth look shorter than they really are

  • Feeling self-conscious because a lot of gum shows when smiling

In cases like this, gum contouring becomes the most conservative and effective option rather than excessive prosthetic treatment.

Gum contouring at Claire Dental Clinic is

not simply a procedure that “trims” the gums,

but is performed after designing the line in advance while considering together:

  • the proportion of tooth length

  • the amount of gum exposure when smiling

  • harmony with the overall facial impression

We minimize unnecessary tissue removal,

and make precise adjustments only as much as needed.

Claire Dental Clinic does not perform excessive treatment. As you can see from the before-and-after photos, even though the photo was taken immediately after the procedure, it is clean with no bleeding.

Right after the procedure,

  • the teeth looked longer

  • the smile line became clearer

  • the overall impression became much neater

It was a case where, even without veneers,

you could expect an effect that felt like having veneers.

Rather than forcing treatment,

I believe carefully correcting only what is necessary,

is the best way to create natural results.

For a prettier smile than yesterday, even today 😊

Well then, I’ll be off now. Bye-bye.
