Dental Veneers in Seoul

Why Seoul for Veneers?

  • Natural aesthetics: Shade, translucency, and texture tailored to your skin tone and facial harmony.
  • Conservative approach: Enamel-focused prep (or no-prep when anatomy allows).
  • Digital workflow: High-res facial photos, intraoral scans, and CAD/CAM ceramics for precision.
  • Traveler-friendly: Streamlined consult → mock-up → temps → finals within a tight schedule.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Ultra-thin ceramic shells (porcelain/zirconia) bonded to the front of teeth to correct color, shape, length, symmetry, and minor alignment—while preserving as much enamel as possible.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

  • Stains/discoloration not responsive to whitening
  • Chips, worn edges, small gaps, minor rotations
  • Healthy gums (or willingness to treat periodontal issues first)
  • Realistic expectations about color, shape, and maintenance (night-guard for clenchers)

Treatment Types

  • Porcelain veneers: Lifelike translucency; highly stain-resistant.
  • Zirconia veneers: Extra strength for high-load cases; layered for esthetics.
  • Minimal-/No-prep veneers: For select anatomies with adequate enamel and tooth position.
  • Hybrid plans: Whitening or short aligner phase first → fewer, more conservative veneers.

Step-by-Step Journey

  1. Consult & Scan – Photos, shade mapping, occlusion review; discuss goals.
  2. Digital Mock-Up/Preview – On-screen or intraoral test drive of shape/length.
  3. Conservative Prep (if needed) – Enamel-focused reduction; impressions or digital scan.
  4. Temporaries – Live with the new shape; share feedback on edges, phonetics, and smile line.
  5. Final Ceramics & Bonding – Custom characterization; bite refinement.
  6. Maintenance – Hygiene visits, night-guard if you clench, non-abrasive care.

Timeline (Typical)

  • 2–4 weeks from consult to finals for straightforward cases.
  • Add time if doing aligners or gum contouring first.

Expected Costs (Guide)

  • Per veneer: ₩600,000–₩1,500,000+ depending on case complexity, ceramic, and lab.
  • Add-ons: Gingival contouring, aligners, whitening, or bite guards as needed.
    (Request an itemized plan: diagnostics, mock-ups, temps, finals, follow-ups.)

After-Care & Longevity

  • Soft brush; floss daily; consider a water flosser.
  • 6-month hygiene visits (implant-level cleaning protocols are great).
  • Night-guard for grinders; avoid biting hard objects (ice, shells).
  • Longevity: 10–15+ years with stable bite and meticulous care.

FAQs

Do veneers damage teeth?
Clinics prioritize minimal or no-prep when anatomy allows; pre-alignment can further reduce drilling.

How many veneers do I need?
Often 6–10 in the smile zone; sometimes fewer when combined with whitening/bonding.

Will they look “too white”?
Shade and translucency are customized to your skin tone, lip color, and eye whites to stay believable.

Booking Tips (Seoul/Gangnam)

  • Bring previous X-rays/scans and 2–3 reference photos you like.
  • Ask about mock-ups, materials (porcelain vs. zirconia), warranty, and maintenance plan.
  • Share event dates (wedding/filming) to align the schedule.
  • Clarify night-guard policy for bruxism and color strategy (whitening before shade match).
