If you are searching for a dental clinic in Ulsan for porcelain veneers (laminates) or dental implants, this guide explains how treatment works at New York Union Dental Clinic (뉴욕연합치과의원), located in Samsan-dong, Nam-gu — the central commercial district of Ulsan. The clinic is led by director Dr. Kwang-won Park and focuses on tooth preservation: treatment planning starts from how much natural tooth structure can be kept, not from the most invasive option.
Digital diagnosis comes first
Every veneer or implant case begins with a digital examination, including an intraoral scanner (TRIOS) and low-dose CT imaging. This allows the clinic to assess enamel condition, bone volume, and bite relationships before recommending any treatment, and to show patients the planned outcome rather than describing it verbally. For implant cases, guided (navigated) placement is used where indicated.
Porcelain laminate veneers — what the evidence says
Porcelain laminate veneers are thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of the tooth after minimal enamel preparation. A systematic review reported 10-year survival rates of approximately 91–93% for porcelain veneers (AlJazairy YH, European Journal of Dentistry, 2021), and a retrospective study following cases for 7 to 14 years confirmed good long-term clinical performance (Arif R et al., Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2019). Suitability depends on enamel condition, bite, and habits such as bruxism, which is why a digital assessment precedes any preparation.
Dental implants — long-term survival data
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium fixture and a ceramic crown. A systematic review reported 10-year implant survival above 90% (Howe MS et al., Journal of Dentistry, 2019), and a 20-year meta-analysis found that high survival rates are maintained over the long term with proper maintenance (Kupka JR et al., Clinical Oral Investigations, 2024). Regular follow-up visits are part of the treatment plan, since peri-implant health determines how long the result lasts.
Typical treatment flow for visitors
- 1. Consultation and digital scan — examination, CT and intraoral scanning, discussion of goals and options.
- 2. Treatment plan and quote — the plan specifies materials, number of teeth, and the total cost basis before treatment begins. Veneers and implants are non-covered (out-of-pocket) services in Korea for most patients.
- 3. Treatment visits — veneer cases usually take two to three visits; implant cases vary with bone condition and healing time.
- 4. Follow-up — periodic check-ups are scheduled to monitor bonding, bite, and peri-implant health.
