Is it right for me?
- Discolouration that whitening cannot fix
- Chipped edges, small gaps or uneven lengths
- Healthy gums and no active decay
- Teeth that are not strongly crowded or rotated (those may need orthodontics first)
How it works
- Consultation
We check your teeth and gums and talk about the result you want.
- Smile design
Photos and a digital scan let you see the planned shape before anything is made.
- Preparation and scan
In suitable cases the surface is only lightly polished. The veneers are then made to fit.
- Bonding
The veneers are bonded and your bite is checked.
Insurance and cost
Veneers are cosmetic and are not covered by Korean health insurance. The price depends on how many teeth are treated. We tell you the schedule and the full price in writing before starting. Any decay or gum treatment needed beforehand may be covered.
Planning around your stay in Korea
Veneers need a few visits close together. Tell us your dates so we can fit the design, preparation and bonding visits before any trip or move.
Aftercare
- Brush and floss as usual
- Avoid biting hard objects such as ice, bones or bottle caps
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Keep regular check-ups so we can watch the edges and gums
Questions
How much do veneers cost in Dangjin?
It depends on the number of teeth and the case. After the consultation we give you the full price in writing.
How long do veneers last?
Ceramic veneers commonly last many years with good care. Grinding, biting hard objects and gum disease shorten their life.
Are veneers the same as crowns?
No. A veneer covers the front surface; a crown covers the whole tooth and is used when a tooth is weak or heavily filled.
Is my natural tooth removed?
With minimal-prep DIAlami veneers, in suitable cases the surface is only lightly polished or not changed. Whether that is possible depends on your teeth; we tell you after the examination.
General information, not a diagnosis. Your dentist will advise you after an examination.
