Smile! Veneers at Hus'hu

 

My teeth were approximately four shades lighter than they were before.

It's faily safe to that the Brits have been long associcated whith bad teeth. Whilst this sweeping generalisation may be cruel and in many cases unwarranted , I must admit that I lived up to this stereotype . My teeth were not exactly horrendoously deformed, but in spite of bleaching my teeth, using whitening toothpaste and wearing braces as a teenager, they were still a pale shade of yellow and my front teeth were so out of proportion that they made my slightly protruding caniness stick out like Vampire fangs.

Although I'm not an overly insecure person, I was somewhat self - conscious about my teeth, particularly when it came to smiling in photographs. I had long considered cosmetic dentistry, but never went through with it as most places I enquired at either charged an extortionate amount or seemed unprofessional. A friend recommened Hus-hu clinic in Apgujeong, so I decided to check them out.

When I went for my first consultation, I was greeted by Dr. Kwon who was extremely friendly and professional and immediately made me feel relaxed. He recommended a laser whitening method called Zoom, which I had done then there and I instantly noticed the difference. My teeth were approximately fourshades lighter than they were before. When he suggested veneers, panic began to set in. I'd seen all of the TV make- over shows so I was faily aware of the procedure. For those of you who are nor familiar with this method , preparation for veneers involves filing down the natural teeth and removing the enamel in order to fit the new coating. Ouch, however, he took a mold of my teeth, explaned the procedure and during my next visit showed me what my new veneers would look like. After realising that it was far less risky and complicated than I had initially imagined, I decided to go ahead with the treatment.

I was given a local anaesthetic so I couldn't feel the dreaded dentist's drill Dr. Kwon removed approximately 0.4 mm from the edegs and surface of each of my front four teeth and cemented some temporary veneers. They felt rather uncomfortable andunnatural(imagine press- on nails, only for your teeth), but they looked great.

A week later, I returned to the clinic to have my temporary veneers removed and my real ones fitted. The dental nurse warned that I may experience some sensitivity and she was not kidding. Going to the dentist is uncomfortable enough as it is. but imagine having a scale and polish with no protective enamel. For those of you who have sensitive teeth, it’s like the sensation you get when biting into an ice cream, only intensified 10 times. Once again- ouch, However, the pain rapidly subsided, and I soon had the type of smile I’d always wanted. My teeth are now straight and white, yet still natural looking, which was a huge relief as I’d had nightmares of resembling a female Simon Cowell and blinding people every time I opened my mouth.

The staff at Hus hu took great care of me and even gave me some pink lip gloss as a gift to compliment my new smile. I’m going to return to the clinicin a fortnight for a check-up and one last whitening session to ensure that my bottom teeth are the same shade as my veneers. When I do, I will be sure to thank Dr. Kwon and his staff again for making my smile that much brighter.
