Anterior Restoration

Front teeth are not just a cosmetic concern

Front teeth are the first thing people notice when you smile. A chip, discoloration or an old restoration is hard to ignore. But front teeth do more than look good. They shape how you speak and how your bite comes together.

Why restoring front teeth is difficult

Front teeth show even the smallest difference in shade or shape. If the result does not blend with the neighboring teeth and the gum line, it looks unnatural immediately. On front teeth, looking ‘natural’ is both the hardest and the most important part.

The Seoul Crown approach

Our first priority is removing as little tooth structure as possible and keeping as much of your natural tooth as we can. The shade and shape are designed to match the surrounding teeth and gum line, then finished to last.

Treated by a prosthodontic specialist

Restoring front teeth means balancing appearance and function. At Seoul Crown Dental Clinic near Hakdong Station in Gangnam, a board-certified prosthodontist (certified by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare) personally oversees everything from consultation to planning to treatment.

FAQ

My front tooth is broken. Does it have to come out?

It depends on where the fracture is and how much tooth structure is left. Some cases can be saved with root canal treatment and a crown. Extraction is considered only when the fracture runs deep into the root. We start with the most conservative option.

Veneer or crown for a front tooth?

It depends on the condition of the tooth and what you want from the result. We look first at the option that removes less tooth structure, usually a veneer. A crown is considered when the damage is more extensive.
