Review of replacing amalgam with ceramic at White Dream Dental Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul after it fell out
I visited White Dream Dental Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, because an amalgam filling fell out of a family member's tooth. The dentist explained that since it was a previously treated area, it seemed to have gradually weakened over time due to wear and tear and the formation of cavities inside. I also felt a sense of regret that it would have been better to visit sooner, when I first felt slight sensitivity or discomfort.
We removed the existing amalgam and replaced it with ceramic. The satisfaction level was high because it is functionally stable and has a natural color. They also say it feels comfortable with almost no foreign body sensation.
Although there was a bit of a wait, the staff were kind and the hospital interior was pleasant, so I received a good overall impression. Above all, I felt reassured because they thoroughly checked my condition and focused on providing only necessary treatments.
Since amalgam can wear down or gradually fall out due to internal cavities with prolonged use, it would be a good idea to have it checked in advance if you experience even the slightest discomfort.
