veneer may be considered if you wish to aesthetically improve the color, shape, size, length, space between teeth, or relatively minor alignment issues of the front teeth. For example, it can be used when the teeth are small or short, when there is a gap between the front teeth, when the shape of the teeth is asymmetrical, or when there is discoloration that is difficult to improve with whitening alone. However, an accurate diagnosis is a priority because orthodontics or other treatments may be more suitable than veneer depending on cavities, gum condition, occlusion, and tooth alignment.

it's possible. However, when treating only one tooth, it is important to match the color, transparency, surface texture, and shape naturally with the surrounding natural teeth. In particular, one front tooth requires precise design and color reproduction because its left-right symmetry is clearly visible.

There is no set number. In some cases, only one tooth is treated, and in other cases, 4, 6, 8 or more are designed together, depending on the range of teeth visible when smiling and the area to be improved. Rather than unconditionally treating as many teeth as possible, MAKE Dental Clinic determines the scope of treatment based on the range of teeth that are actually exposed when the patient smiles and the teeth that need improvement.

it's possible. Treatment is also possible to improve only specific areas such as the length, width, edge shape, and symmetry of the teeth. However, depending on the degree of change desired, first determine whether veneer is necessary or whether it can be solved in another way.

During the consultation, you can initially check the appearance of the teeth to be completed through AI-based custom design, and through feedback afterwards, a dental technician specializing in veneer can more precisely adjust the length, ratio, shape, and arrangement of the teeth before production begins to check the final simulation.

At MAKE Dental Clinic, we don’t just look at teeth. The overall proportions and impression of the face, the shape and movement of the lips, the amount of teeth and gums exposed when smiling, the size and proportion of the teeth, the midline, and the smile line are taken into consideration. Even if the shape of the teeth is the same, the degree to which it suits each person is different, so we consider it important to have a tooth design that harmonizes with the face.

yes. Bringing photos of celebrities or teeth that have the look you want will help determine the design direction. However, because the face shape, lips, and arrangement of existing teeth are different for each individual, rather than just reproducing the teeth in the photo, we analyze the characteristics of the desired image and reinterpret it in a form that suits the patient.

We comprehensively determine the current shape of the teeth, whether there are cavities or existing prosthetics, the degree of discoloration, occlusion, tooth alignment, gum condition, and the degree of change desired by the patient. If natural teeth can be preserved, conservative treatment is given priority.

This may vary depending on the number of teeth being treated, the materials and manufacturing method used, the difficulty of the treatment, the presence of existing prosthetics or cavities, and whether additional gum or orthodontic treatment is needed. You can be informed of the exact scope and cost of treatment after visiting the hospital and checking the condition of your teeth and oral cavity.

Tooth preparation is not always necessary. Depending on the current position and shape of the teeth and the desired design, the procedure can be done without removal, or only the necessary parts can be trimmed to a minimum.

There are cases where this is possible. However, the no-prep approach is not suitable for all patients. If veneer is applied without preparation when the teeth are already protruding forward or the teeth are large, the teeth may appear thicker or protrude. Therefore, at MAKE Dental Clinic, we decide whether preparation is needed by considering the final shape and preservation of natural teeth rather than ‘no-prep treatment in every case’.

The amount of preparation needed varies from tooth to tooth. The position, shape, color, arrangement, and desired final design of the teeth are analyzed to determine the necessary range. Even in the same patient, the amount of preparation may vary from tooth to tooth.

Since veneer also has a certain thickness, adding it directly over existing teeth can make the teeth appear thicker. Therefore, if necessary, we adjust the tooth surface to make room for the veneer so that the final tooth does not appear excessively thick or protruding.

The decision is made based on the degree of protrusion, alignment, size and shape of the current teeth, degree of discoloration, occlusion, and desired final design. The goal is not simply to reduce the amount of tooth reduction, but to create natural results while avoiding unnecessary tooth reduction.

As the amount of tooth structure removed increases, the likelihood of symptoms such as tooth sensitivity may increase as it gets closer to the internal tissue of the tooth. Therefore, it is important to preserve as much healthy tooth tissue as possible.
