[Health Column] Is Dental Resin Treatment Possible for a Broken Molar? A Guide from Costs to Treatment Standards ✨[11]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. When a tooth is slightly chipped or cracked, there is a question that many people ask first. as soon as Couldn't we just do it simply with resin? This is the part I am doing. Many people prefer resin due to its low cost and the ability to complete treatment on the same day, but in reality, its feasibility clearly depends on the condition of the teeth. Today, I will easily explain the criteria for resin treatment for fractured molars! 🦷 ( Fracture (It refers to a condition where part of the tooth is chipped or cracked!) 1. In what cases is dental resin treatment possible? ? 🦷 It is most effective when the extent of tooth damage is small and in the early stages. . Resin offers excellent aesthetics because it involves directly filling the tooth with a material similar in color. I mainly recommend this for the following situations. 📌 Fine cracks: In the case of a very thin crack on the surface of a tooth 📌 Small fracture: In cases where a small part of the tooth is chipped off 📌 Early tooth decay: When the rotten area is not large and can be filled immediately after removal 📌 Deficit Supplement: When part of the front teeth or molars is lost 💡 A word from the Director! If it is in the early stages, the biggest appeal of resin is that it allows for treatment while preserving natural teeth as much as possible! 2. Why are small cracks, which seem insignificant, dangerous? ? 🦷 Teeth lack the ability to heal themselves, so if left untreated, a small problem will eventually become a major one. . Even tiny cracks that are barely visible should be treated with caution if they send the following signals. ✔️ Instantly when chewing food A tingling sensation ✔️ The sensation when eating cold water or hot food A brief chill ✔️ Especially on specific areas The sensation of food getting stuck ⚠️ Be careful! The cracks in the teeth gradually deepen over time. If you cannot resolve it with resin in time Inlay, Crown, Root Canal Treatment Beyond the worst case implants You might have to do up to that. You should consider resin as a treatment to be done 'in advance when possible'. 3. What causes teeth to break? ? 🦷 Not only accidents but also trivial daily habits can make your teeth diseased. . Molars are where chewing force is concentrated, so even small damage can quickly escalate. Watch out for the following minor habits! ❄️ Bite the ice: The habit of crushing hard ice with teeth 🦀 Hard food: Enjoying tough and hard foods such as marinated crab and nuts 🦷 bad habit: Teeth grinding or unconsciously clenching teeth while sleeping 📉 Other factors: Areas weakened by cavities or natural weakening due to aging 4. How do dentists find invisible gold? ? 🦷 Even cracks that are difficult to identify with the naked eye can be detected through precise inspection. all. 🔹 Coloration Test: Confirm the location by letting the pigment seep into the crack. 🔹 Optical Inspection: It uses a special light reaction to locate areas where bacteria have proliferated or cracks have formed. 🔹 CT Scan: We provide the most accurate diagnosis by assessing the depth and extent of the gold in three dimensions. 5. Resin vs. Inlay/Crown, How to Choose ? 🦷 Resin is not necessarily the best option; you must choose the 'appropriate' treatment for your tooth condition. . division Resin treatment Inlay / Crown Applicable to small crack, minor fracture When the extent of damage is large or root canal treatment is required Key Features Fast treatment, low cost High durability and withstands strong chewing forces FAQ Q1. I've heard that resin fillings on molars fall off easily. Is that true? ? A1. Durability has improved compared to the past due to advancements in materials and adhesive technology. However, since molars are subjected to strong chewing forces, if the fracture is too extensive, inlays or crowns may last longer and remain strong than resin. Q2. I have a cracked tooth, but if it doesn't hurt, is it okay to just leave it alone? ? A2. Even if there is no pain, the crack continues to progress. By the time you feel pain, there is a high probability that the nerve has already been fractured, so getting a checkup and reinforcing it with resin when there are no symptoms is the most economical and safest method. conclusion Timing is key to dental health! Once damaged, teeth do not heal on their own. If you keep putting it off thinking, "This much should be fine," you might miss the opportunity to finish it with a simple resin treatment. ✨ Just remember this! Reduce the habit of eating hard foods and crunching on ice If You Grind Your Teeth, Use a Mouthguard Detecting abnormalities early through regular checkups If you experience even the slightest tooth sensitivity or tingling, we recommend that you get it checked at a nearby dental clinic before it is too late.

이현섭 원장26.03.25Views 1764Likes 3 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

이현섭 원장26.05.21Views 52Likes 0 [Health Column] Great Tips for Choosing a Dental Clinic! “Does this place have an in-house laboratory?”[1]
hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. 👋 Before receiving prosthetic treatment such as implants or crowns "What if it feels too foreign?", "Will it fall off or break easily?" You must have worried about that at least once. 😢 Dental prosthetics that restore tooth function are absolutely not items simply mass-produced mechanically in a factory. ❌ It must perfectly reflect the unique oral structure, gum line, and even the minute occlusal state of each patient. Ultra-precision results That is because of this. ✨ The most important criterion for determining the quality of these custom prosthetics is checking whether the dental clinic has an 'in-house laboratory'. 🔍 1. Why is organic collaboration between dental clinics and laboratories so important? ? 👋 The most perfect prosthetics are created when the dentist's accurate diagnosis meets the laboratory's skilled fabrication techniques in real time. 🛑 Communication limitations created by physical distance Dental clinics diagnose and treat the patient's condition, while dental laboratories play the role of making the actual prosthetics. Most dental clinics tend to outsource fabrication to external laboratories. 🚚 In this case, since communication between the doctor and the dental technician is conducted solely through documents or models, detailed communication is inevitably limited due to the physical distance. ⚡ The perfect fit created by real-time communication On the other hand, inside the dental clinic In-house laboratory If you operate it, medical staff and dental technicians Communicate in real time You can do it. 💡The patient's oral condition and specific details can be immediately reflected in the manufacturing process, dramatically increasing the precision of the prosthesis beyond mere efficiency. 2. What are the three direct benefits that an in-house dental laboratory provides to patients? ? 👋 From 1:1 custom fabrication to shortened lead times and immediate repairs, we dramatically reduce patients' time and inconvenience. 🔸 Precise 1:1 custom production 🦷 We finely adjust everything from minute height differences of the prosthesis to color harmony with surrounding teeth and shape. You can experience comfortable and natural aesthetics, just as if they were your original teeth. 🥰 🔸 Significant reduction in treatment duration and number of visits 🗓️ The entire shipping and waiting process for sending and receiving prosthetics from an external laboratory is eliminated! As production time is reduced, the uncomfortable period of living with temporary teeth is also significantly shortened, relieving the burden of visiting the clinic for busy modern people. 🔸 Immediate repairs and corrections without waiting 🛠️ If the height is slightly off or you feel discomfort while using the prosthesis, there is no need to send it back outside. After verification with the in-house dental technician You can make immediate corrections on the spot. Therefore, the hassle of having to wait for several days disappears. 3. How do advanced digital CAD/CAM systems improve accuracy? ? 👋 In prosthetic treatment, what is ultimately more important than speed is 'accuracy that does not allow for even a 1mm error.' The meeting of digital equipment and craftsmanship 🤝 At Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic, things that are easy for the human eye to miss Advanced digital CAD/CAM system that captures errors of less than 1mm We have introduced and are operating it. 💻 Ensuring stability through computer simulation 📊 The know-how of skilled dental technicians is combined with precise digital equipment to achieve an even more perfect fit. Because it undergoes a computer simulation process in advance, it boasts the remarkable effect of significantly reducing the foreign body sensation when actually fitted in the oral cavity and extending the lifespan of the prosthesis. ⭐ Criteria for Choosing a Wise Dental Clinic 🎯 If you want satisfactory and long-lasting prosthetic treatment, rather than simply looking at the size of the dental clinic Systematic digital in-house dental system Please make sure to check if it is properly equipped! 📌 ❓ FAQ Q1. Why is an in-house lab more precise than outsourcing to an external lab? 🤔 A1. External dental laboratories proceed with fabrication based solely on the production request form and tooth impressions (models) sent by the dental clinic. On the other hand, in-house laboratories have medical staff and dental technicians Communicate in real-time while directly seeing the patient's actual oral condition, unique tooth color, and even translucency. Because of this, minute errors are corrected on-site, making it much more precise and natural. ✨ Q2. If the prosthesis breaks or causes discomfort, how many more days do I have to wait? 📅 A2. While there may be slight variations depending on the appointment schedule or treatment status, having an in-house laboratory significantly reduces your waiting time! In most cases Immediate corrections and repairs are possible after verification on the same day. This reduces the inconvenience of having to visit the clinic multiple times and minimizes the discomfort of temporary teeth used until the final prosthesis is ready. 😌 Q3. What are the advantages of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic's digital CAD/CAM system? 💻 A3. Since precision design and processing are performed using digital equipment, the sensation of foreign objects in the oral cavity is significantly reduced. 📉 It controls even minute errors that humans easily miss to achieve perfect fit, and as it is precisely crafted You can use your prosthetics with peace of mind for much longer. There are advantages to what you can do. 👍 📝 conclusion Prosthetic treatment goes beyond simply filling or crowning teeth; it is a process of restoring precious chewing function, which is directly linked to quality of life. 🍏 Able to quickly and precisely fabricate prosthetics that fit my mouth perfectly without going through an external outsourcing process Presence or absence of an in-house dental laboratory Make sure to carefully check this! 🔍 ✨Above all, for safe treatment tailored to my gum condition and occlusion, a doctor with extensive clinical experience Precise consultation with a prosthodontics specialist Please make sure to remember that this must take precedence. 👨⚕️ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare Prosthodontics Specialist Graduate of Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Severance Hospital (Sinchon), completed Prosthodontics residency Certified and Regular Member of the Korean Academy of Prosthodontics Outstanding member of the Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Regular member of the Korean Academy of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry Former Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry Former Representative Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch Current Board Member, Specialist Committee, and Academic Affairs Committee Member of the Korean Academy of Prosthodontics Current Director of Academic Planning, Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) View more of Director Jung Jae-wook's expert columns > [Health Column] No-prep Veneers, Are They Really 'No Prep'?

If asymmetry worsens, it puts strain on the jaw joint, which may cause a clicking sound or be accompanied by headaches. In mild cases, orthodontics alone can restore balance to chewing function and refine the jawline, so early diagnosis is crucial! 🩺 2. What functional problems arise from a protruding lower jaw (prognathism)? 'Class III malocclusion,' where the lower jaw protrudes forward over the upper jaw, significantly affects food intake and pronunciation. A protruding jaw interferes with biting off food with the front teeth. Excessive strain on the molars You will give . 🦷 It can also cause slurred pronunciations like 's', 'j', and 'ch', leading to inconvenience in daily life.

이현섭 원장26.02.11Views 1307Likes 4 [Health Column] Tooth Extraction for Orthodontics, Is It Absolutely Necessary? Criteria for Orthodontic Extraction and Tips for Choosing a Dentist[9]
Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. One of the most frequently asked questions during orthodontic consultations is, "Do I have to extract teeth during orthodontic treatment?" In this article, I will explain in detail the reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary for orthodontics, clarify misconceptions about side effects, and outline the criteria to consider when choosing an orthodontic clinic. 1. Why is extraction necessary during orthodontic treatment? Orthodontics is not just a treatment to straighten teeth. This is a comprehensive treatment that considers the structure of the jawbone, the overall oral shape, and even the facial profile. Especially in cases where space is limited, some teeth need to be extracted to evenly align the teeth. Conversely, when there is enough space, satisfactory results can be achieved with non-extraction orthodontics. In other words, whether to perform orthodontic extraction depends on the patient's oral structure and tooth condition, and accurate assessment and planning are essential during the initial diagnosis. 2. Side effects of orthodontic extraction, should I be worried? "Is it okay to extract a healthy tooth?" What should I do if my mouth looks too small? This is a common concern for many people before orthodontic extraction. However, in cases where extraction is necessary, proceeding with non-extraction treatment forcefully may result in teeth not fitting into their proper positions, ultimately leading to the need for re-treatment. This can lead to increased time, cost, and psychological burden. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and professional treatment plan are the best ways to reduce side effects. 3. How long does it take to recover after tooth extraction? Extraction is a surgical procedure, but in the case of a normal healthy extraction, the pain subsides within a few days. It does not significantly interfere with the orthodontic treatment. However, in cases of slower recovery, careful attention to oral hygiene management and dietary regulation is necessary. 4. How should I choose an orthodontic clinic? Orthodontic treatment typically takes more than 2 to 3 years. Therefore, the choice of dentist inevitably greatly influences the satisfaction with the treatment. The considerations when making a choice are as follows. Do you have enough treatment experience with cases similar to mine? Do you have clinical expertise in both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? Is there a precise diagnostic system equipped for accurate diagnosis? Don't just consider the price or location, It is important to choose a hospital that offers customized treatment tailored to my oral condition. Conclusion: The decision to extract depends on the individual's dental structure. Tooth alignment and extraction are never topics with a single correct answer. It depends on the patient's oral structure, tooth arrangement, and treatment goals. If you are considering whether to extract the tooth, Receive an accurate diagnosis through consultation with a specialist with extensive clinical experience. A careful plan is the first step toward healthy correction. It is a path that leads to a beautiful and natural smile.
