Before/After Pictures of Dr. Kim's Patients:


14 x Veneers

Porcelain veneers were placed (ten on upper, six on lower) instead of braces to align and improve the brightness and beauty of her smile.    Polychromatic shades make her veneers look natural, not artificial.

Reconstruction

Multiple root canals and crowns rebuild upper front teeth.

Dentist redesigns and reshapes the wax model:
