02 / UNDERSTAND YOUR CARE

What is aesthetic prosthetics?

Treatment that plans not only the function of the restoration but also the harmony of color, shape, and gum line, taking the patient's oral condition into account.

For front teeth, shade, translucency, and gum line

For visible front teeth, we check whether shade matches adjacent teeth and whether length and thickness affect speech. If gum margin is dark or heights differ, we assess gum condition before changing prostheses.

How much of the tooth should be covered?

If the tooth is extensively damaged, consider a full-coverage crown; if front surface color/shape is the issue, consider laminate; for small gaps or chips consider aesthetic resin. We counsel to avoid unnecessarily enlarging the treatment area including healthy teeth.

We confirm with the in-house lab

We consider prosthesis function and harmony with adjacent teeth. In the provisional prosthesis stage, we check shape, speech, and occlusion and reflect that in the final fabrication.

Limits and precautions to know

After treatment there can be sensitivity, pain, bleeding, gum changes, or need for retreatment. Risks and recovery for each treatment method are individually explained during the consultation.

05 / YOUR QUESTIONS · 4 QUESTIONS

Questions you might have before care.

01How is it different from a crown?
Same prosthesis but different priorities. Crown aims to restore chewing by covering damaged tooth; esthetic prosthesis adjusts color, shape and gum line and is used mainly on visible front teeth.
02Can color match adjacent teeth?
In-house lab adjusts shade and translucency. Exact match to natural tooth is not guaranteed; adjustment scope and schedule depend on prosthesis status.
03How many teeth should be treated to look natural?
Start from the minimum necessary. Consider visible range and adjacent tooth color; not necessary to treat many healthy teeth just to look natural.
04How is it different from laminate?
Coverage differs. Laminate veneers bond thinly to the front surface; esthetic prosthesis covers whole tooth. If tooth is severely damaged or root-canaled esthetic prosthesis may be more appropriate.
