What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry improves how your smile looks — its colour, shape and proportion — while keeping your teeth healthy. At Baro Dental we focus on conservative, natural-looking treatments: teeth whitening, gum contouring for a gummy smile, and cosmetic resin filling to reshape chips and small gaps.
We deliberately favour options that preserve your natural tooth structure. Where a straighter smile is the real goal, orthodontics is often the healthier answer than reshaping teeth — and we'll always tell you honestly what will give the best, longest-lasting result.
Natural results, healthy teeth
A cosmetic result is only good if it lasts and keeps your teeth healthy. Here's how we approach it.
Board-certified specialists
Your smile is assessed by board-certified specialists in Advanced General Dentistry — cosmetic work grounded in sound dental health, not just appearance.
Conservative first
We favour whitening, resin filling and gum contouring that preserve your natural teeth over aggressive reshaping — protecting your smile for the long term.
Honest recommendations
If aligners or another treatment would serve you better than a cosmetic quick-fix, we say so. We never oversell — under Korean medical-advertising rules and our own standards.
The technology behind your smile
Great cosmetic work rests on precise records and healthy teeth. These are the tools that support it.
Trios 5 Scanner
A digital intraoral scanner that captures your teeth precisely for planning resin filling and other restorations.
Qray Pen
Fluorescence imaging that checks for early decay, so your cosmetic result sits on genuinely healthy teeth.

Learn moreHow much does teeth whitening cost in Busan?
Professional in-office whitening at Baro Dental is ₩300,000 for three sessions or ₩450,000 for five — published prices, the same for foreign and Korean patients. Closing a small front-tooth gap with resin (diastema closure) is ₩150,000. No packages are pushed; your exam decides how many sessions your shade goal actually needs.
Is professional whitening safe for enamel?
Performed correctly, yes — in-office whitening oxidises stains inside the tooth without removing enamel. Temporary sensitivity is the common side effect, which we manage with desensitising care between sessions. What damages teeth is over-the-counter overuse and abrasive DIY methods, which is exactly why dosage and isolation matter.
Why do crowns and fillings stay yellow after whitening?
Because whitening only works on natural tooth structure — zirconia, ceramic and resin keep the shade they were made in. That's why sequence matters: whiten first, then match any new crown or resin filling to your new, lighter shade. We plan cosmetic work in that order by default.
What is the fastest fix for a chipped front tooth?
Cosmetic resin filling — usually one visit. Tooth-coloured resin is sculpted onto the chip, shaped and polished the same day, with little or no drilling of healthy tooth. For travellers it pairs naturally with whitening in a single short trip; we simply whiten first so the resin is matched to your final shade.
Why do gums show when I smile?
A gummy smile isn’t one condition — it has three common causes, and the cause decides the right treatment. That’s why we diagnose before we recommend.
Gum tissue covers the teeth
Teeth erupted normally but excess gum sits over them, making them look short. Gum contouring reshapes the line so the natural crown length shows — often a single visit.
The lip lifts high
Tooth and gum proportions are normal, but a hyperactive upper lip reveals more of them. Treatment targets the lip dynamics rather than cutting healthy gum — a distinction an exam makes clear.
Teeth or jaw position
Sometimes the display comes from tooth eruption or jaw growth patterns — then the honest fix runs through orthodontics, not gum surgery. We’ll tell you which case is yours before anything else.
Conservative first — that’s the whole philosophy.
Cosmetic dentistry done our way…
- whitening that lightens your teeth — ₩300,000 for three sessions, no upsold packages
- resin filling that repairs chips, edges and small gaps in one visit, preserving healthy enamel
- gum contouring for a gummy smile only after we identify why the gums show — the cause decides the fix
- shade decisions made in daylight, with photos, before anything permanent is placed
And what we’ll talk you out of…
- grinding down healthy front teeth for cosmetic caps — we don’t offer veneers, and we’ll explain the conservative alternatives that usually satisfy the same goal
- whitening over untreated decay or inflamed gums — health first, at published prices, then aesthetics
- whitening after a new crown is made — the ceramic won’t follow, so we sequence it the right way around
- chasing an unnatural shade — we aim for the brightest colour that still looks like your teeth

Cosmetic dentistry FAQ
Whitening lifts staining to give you a brighter, more even shade, with the goal of a natural-looking result rather than an unnaturally white one. Exactly how much brightening you'll see depends on your starting shade and the type of staining, which we assess in person. We'll set realistic expectations before you begin.
Usually, yes. Professional whitening and cosmetic resin filling are among the quickest cosmetic treatments and often fit a single short stay in Busan. Gum contouring for a gummy smile also typically needs just one visit plus brief healing. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp and we'll confirm what's realistic.
We focus on conservative cosmetic treatments that preserve your natural teeth — whitening, resin filling and gum contouring. Where the goal is a straighter smile, we usually recommend clear aligners or braces as the healthier route, and for damaged or missing teeth we offer crowns and implants. We'll advise the best option for your specific case.
Resin filling is long-lasting but not indestructible — the tooth-coloured resin can chip or stain over years and may need occasional touch-ups, which are straightforward. Its big advantage is that it repairs chips and small gaps without removing healthy enamel, so it's a conservative, reversible-friendly choice.
If a lot of gum shows when you smile, gum contouring (gingivectomy) gently reshapes the gum line to reveal more of each tooth and create a more balanced smile. It's a precise, minor procedure done under local anaesthetic, and for suitable cases it makes a noticeable difference on its own.
Dental resin filling starts from ₩150,000 per tooth surface, while whitening and gum contouring are quoted after an assessment since they depend on your case. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we'll give you a written estimate in KRW before you travel, with no hidden add-ons.
Typically one to two years, depending on coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. The shade fades gradually rather than suddenly, and a short top-up course restores it — there's no need to repeat the full series. We'll show you your starting and finishing shade on a standard scale so you can track it objectively.
Yes, and the order genuinely matters. Whitening changes the shade of natural teeth but not ceramic, so we whiten first, let the shade stabilise, then match your new crown or resin filling to the lighter colour. Do it the other way round and the crown stays visibly darker than the teeth beside it.
