What Cosmetic Dentistry Covers

Cosmetic treatment changes how teeth look: their color, shape, size, spacing and how much gum shows when you smile. Most people do not need all of it. A single stained tooth, a chipped edge or a wish for a brighter shade each call for a different, usually small, treatment.

We start with an examination, because healthy teeth and gums come first. Cavities, gum inflammation or an uneven bite are dealt with before any cosmetic work, since they affect how long the result lasts.

A good cosmetic plan begins with what bothers you rather than with a menu of products. Some patients dislike the shade of their teeth, others the gap at the front, others a single worn edge. Naming the concern lets your dentist suggest the least invasive route that meets it.

Cosmetic work is also a matter of taste, and taste varies. Some people want a natural look with small improvements; others want a more noticeable change. Be specific about the look you prefer so your dentist can plan accordingly.

  • Color: whitening or internal bleaching
  • Shape and size: veneers or bonding
  • Spacing and alignment: aligners or braces
  • Gum line: assessment for gummy smile

Treatments Available

Each treatment has limits. Whitening cannot lighten crowns or fillings, bonding can stain over time, and veneers involve preparing the tooth surface.

₩600,000 per tooth

Laminate veneers

Thin shells bonded to the front of a tooth to change shade, shape or minor misalignment. The price includes VAT.

₩385,000

Professional whitening

In-clinic whitening for natural teeth. Whitening a single root-treated tooth from the inside (internal bleaching) is ₩165,000 per tooth. Both prices include VAT.

Gap closure ₩250,000

Cosmetic bonding

Tooth-colored resin shaped onto a tooth to close a small gap or repair a chipped edge. Gap (diastema) closure is published at ₩250,000; other repairs depend on the tooth and the amount of material.

Options vary

Gummy smile care

Where the cause is muscle activity, jaw botox is published at ₩90K–₩150K. Other causes need a different approach, so an exam comes first.

Planned together

Smile makeover

A plan that may combine whitening, veneers and aligners so the treatments work in the right order.

Invisalign ₩2.5M to ₩7M

Clear aligners

When crowding or spacing is the main issue, moving teeth may do more than covering them.

Prices are the published non-covered price list in KRW; cosmetic prices include VAT. Confirm at consultation.

Choosing Between Options

Think about time as well as cost. Whitening and bonding are generally quicker, while aligners take longer but change the position of your own teeth.

Think about maintenance too. Veneers and bonding may need repair over the years, and a retainer or night guard might be advised to protect them.

Your dentist will tell you honestly if a simpler option would give you what you want.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents

The clinic is in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, by Taepyeong Station Exit 5. If you live around Moran, Sujin, Sinheung or Gachon University, or travel in from Bundang or Seoul, the station-side location keeps visits simple. Cosmetic work often needs more than one appointment, so being near a station helps.

Bokjeong and Moran appear on both lines on the local map, which many Bundang-side patients find useful when planning a route. We do not state journey times; check a map app for your own start point.

Appointments can be arranged in English. Opening hours are Mon–Wed 09:30–20:30, Thu 09:30–19:00, Fri 09:30–18:30 and Sat 09:30–13:00, with no lunch break; the clinic is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays.

How a Cosmetic Plan Is Made

Bring photos of smiles you like if that helps you explain the look you want. The dentist will say what is realistic for your teeth.

Tell us what bothers you

Describe what you would like to change, and what you would prefer to leave alone.

Examination

Teeth, gums and bite are checked first so any underlying problem is treated before cosmetic work.

Options and order

You hear which options fit, which is simplest, and in what order they should be done.

Written price

Published prices are a guide. The final figure is quoted after examination.

Honest Expectations

Results depend on your teeth, your gums and your habits. Whitening cannot change the color of crowns or fillings. Veneers are long-lasting but are not permanent forever and may need replacing in future. Grinding teeth can damage cosmetic work, so a protective guard may be advised.

We will not promise a specific outcome. We will show you what is realistic for your case before you decide.

Teeth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity in some people. Ask what to expect and how to manage it. Smoking and strongly colored drinks can dull a result, so mention your habits.

  • Ask for the full cost of a plan, not only one treatment.
  • Tell your dentist about grinding, smoking, and coffee or wine habits.
  • Keep regular check-ups and cleanings after any cosmetic work.

Who This Suits

Cosmetic treatment suits people with healthy teeth and gums who want a specific change. It is less suited to someone with untreated decay or active gum problems, who should deal with these first.

If you are preparing for an event or a trip, mention the date at the outset. Some steps can be completed in a short time, while others cannot be hurried.

A darkened front tooth: root canal retreatment, internal whitening and a ceramic crown

Treated by Dr. Hyun Sung Park

BeforeBefore: A darkened front tooth: root canal retreatment, internal whitening and a ceramic crown
AfterAfter: A darkened front tooth: root canal retreatment, internal whitening and a ceramic crown
Front view before and after treatment

Why the patient came in

The patient came in because one upper front tooth had turned dark. The tooth had a root canal treatment from before, and the X-ray showed inflammation at the root tip.

What was done

  1. The root canal treatment was redone. On opening the tooth, dark contaminated material was found inside the canal.
  2. Part of the root filling was removed and a barrier of glass ionomer or resin was placed to keep the whitening agent inside the crown of the tooth.
  3. A whitening agent was sealed inside the tooth and the colour was checked every 4 to 7 days.
  4. After whitening, the shade was matched and an all-ceramic crown was made so that no dark colour shows through.

Published with the patient’s consent. Photos and X-rays are from the clinic’s records. Treatment plans and results differ for every patient; only an examination can show what is possible for you. A tooth whitened from inside can darken again over time. Retreatment and crown preparation can cause temporary sensitivity or discomfort.
