Visit verification complete #Facial contouring + orthodontics ♥ Non-surgical beauty correction When I complained about discomfort at a general dental clinic, everyone said it was fine. But here, they immediately pointed out an overbite issue. Wow, specialists really are different! I received a lot of explanations which were a bit confusing, but during our conversation, they captured summaries of notes written on the pad and sent them via KakaoTalk or Messenger. They were kind and didn’t show any discomfort when I asked several times about parts I didn’t understand or had trouble with!

View moreI want to get partial orthodontic treatment!!![7]
I want to get partial orthodontic treatment. My front teeth are particularly crooked. The other teeth are pretty straight. I did, but my front teeth were so crooked that I didn't want to smile. When I smile, my crooked front teeth are so visible I feel like I look stupid. After much thought, I decided that I should get partial orthodontic treatment. I don't think full correction is necessary, and it's also expensive. However, partial orthodontic treatment is reasonable in terms of price. I'm thinking of getting a consultation for partial orthodontic treatment for my front teeth! I first looked into the partial orthodontic treatment event. When I looked up dental information on Cashdoc, I found that there was also a partial orthodontic treatment event. First, there is Myeongdong Combi Dental Clinic for partial orthodontic treatment. They say that the Myeongdong Combi Dental Clinic is directly managed by the director, who is an orthodontic specialist. Perfect from correction to aftercare!! And this is something I had no idea about, It is said that only 4% of dentists are orthodontists. That's why braces are expensive... haha The partial orthodontic treatment was done very neatly by the director. It seemed like a popular dental clinic. The cost of partial orthodontic treatment varies from person to person, but it is said to start at 950,000 won. If it was a full correction, it would have started at 3-4 million won! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/4441 I think this is okay! Just in case, I looked for another dental clinic for partial orthodontics. They say you can get orthodontic treatment at a ceramic dentist! I'm not sure yet if partial orthodontic treatment is available here. But, even if the dental fees are fixed without any additional costs, I thought that partial orthodontic treatment would be similar. Ceramic Dentistry is also a place with orthodontic specialists. First of all, I think it's good that you can get free consultation. They say that after you get all your braces done, you can also get your teeth whitened! And the amount to be paid per month in monthly installments without a deposit It was decided. In this respect, I think we can definitely proceed cleanly :) https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/470

Adult Tooth Partial Orthodontics[5]
Maybe because my lower jaw is narrow, since I was young, all my lower teeth have been trying to fit into a small space, possibly affecting each other... My front lower teeth are crooked and my bite is uneven, so I had a bit of a complex about it. Since they are at the bottom, they are not very visible, so I just turned 50 like this. Therefore, I brush my teeth more diligently, paying attention to my uneven front teeth, but every time I go for a scaling at the dentist, I am told that because my lower teeth are misaligned, even if I brush diligently, plaque tends to form more easily and it can affect gum health... Should I get my lower teeth orthodontically corrected now... I have many concerns. Has anyone tried partial orthodontics at this age? I've heard that the correction period takes longer as you get older. How long does it usually take?
agnes011723.07.20Views 113Likes 0 The basics of dental care is scaling~~~^^[1]
Scaling, considered the foundation of dental care, is a crucial treatment that removes hard plaque that cannot be cleaned by brushing alone. It is typically performed using an instrument that utilizes fine ultrasonic vibrations to gently detach plaque and stains attached to the tooth surface. It is a valuable procedure that safely removes only the factors causing gum inflammation, without grinding down or damaging the teeth. You are usually advised that the ideal frequency for scaling is about once or twice a year. However, if you are a smoker or have a constitution where tartar forms particularly quickly, it is recommended to receive treatment more frequently, at intervals of 3 to 6 months. In particular, those with weak gums that frequently swell and bleed should shorten the interval and receive regular care to prevent periodontal disease. Since the appropriate timing for dental care varies depending on individual oral health and saliva composition, we recommend undergoing regular dental checkups to determine the schedule that works best for you. We hope you can prevent gum disease through regular scaling and maintain healthy, strong teeth for a long time. Wishing you a day filled with only good things, and may you always have a healthy and happy day.

I heard from my family that I grind my teeth while sleeping, and indeed, there are times when my jaw feels stiff in the morning. I am wondering if teeth grinding causes tooth wear or cracks. I have heard that mouthpieces or Botox treatments are helpful, and I would like to know the difference in effectiveness. I am also wondering if improvement is possible even if the teeth are already worn down. I would like to know what problems can arise if teeth grinding is left untreated. I am also wondering if teeth grinding during sleep can be completely cured.

View more[Health Column] What Should You Do If Your Temporary Implant Teeth Fall Out on a Weekend or Holiday?[4]
Hello! I am Lee Hyun-seop, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. If a temporary implant tooth suddenly falls out on a Saturday evening, Sunday, or public holiday, anyone would likely panic and worry, thinking something terrible has happened. However, in most cases, if only the temporary tooth has come off, there is no need to be too alarmed. Today, I will explain step-by-step how to properly handle the situation without panicking if your temporary tooth falls out on a weekend or holiday. For your reference, Seoul Centum Dental Clinic is open every day from Monday to Sunday, except for the day of the holiday, so you can rest assured! (Source: AI Image) 🔹 What should I check first? First, check whether the missing part is the 'temporary tooth' or the 'implant itself'. 💡 Just a moment! > In most cases, only the temporary prosthesis detaches. Please rest assured that the implant body (fixture) inside the gum bone does not come out easily! If the pain is not severe and the metal part inside the gum is clearly visible, it is highly likely that only the temporary tooth has fallen out. 🔹 Why do temporary teeth fall out so easily? This is because a weak adhesive is used so that it can be removed before the final prosthesis is attached. Temporary teeth are not the final prosthetics. In most cases, they are attached with specialized temporary cement so that they can be easily removed later. As a result, it may fall out more easily than expected if subjected to tough or sticky foods, or repeated strong chewing force. In fact, if you attach it too strongly, it can become very difficult to remove later when inserting the final prosthesis. 🔹 What should I do if I miss a weekend or public holiday? Please do not panic and make sure to follow the four safety rules below. 📌 ① Do not throw away temporary teeth! If you gently rinse a fallen temporary tooth with clean water and store it properly in an airtight container before bringing it to the dentist, it can often be reattached. ⚠️ ② Absolutely do not attach it yourself! Occasionally, some patients come in having attached the prosthesis themselves using super glue or regular adhesive, but this is extremely dangerous. Please absolutely avoid this, as it can damage the prosthesis or allow the adhesive to seep into the gums, making treatment much more difficult. 📌 ③ Please eat on the opposite side! It is best to avoid using the treated area as much as possible. Soft foods such as porridge, eggs, tofu, and yogurt are recommended, and please avoid hard or chewy foods. 📌 ④ Please be sure to maintain oral hygiene! You should brush your teeth as usual, but please clean the area where the tooth is missing gently without scrubbing hard to prevent plaque from building up. 🔹 Is it okay to go to the dentist in a few days? If possible, it is best to visit as soon as possible without delaying it. Temporary teeth are not simply worn for aesthetic purposes; they play the following important roles. 🔸 Maintaining gum shape 🔸 Prevents movement of surrounding teeth 🔸 Maintaining space for the final prosthesis 🔸 Authoring Function Assistance If left empty for a long time, the gums may change shape or surrounding teeth may gradually shift, potentially resulting in the final prosthesis, which was carefully prepared, no longer fitting. 🔹 Should I visit the dentist sooner in these cases? It may not be a simple fallout, so you should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms. ⚠️ We recommend seeking medical attention as soon as possible if you experience the following symptoms. ✔ When you feel like the implant is also loose ✔ When severe pain or bleeding persists ✔ When the gums swell noticeably ✔ When pus comes out or there is a strong odor ✔ When the metal part inside the gum moves along with it 🔹 How should I care for temporary teeth so they don't fall out again? You can prevent temporary teeth from falling out with just small changes to your daily habits. You need to take a little more care of your temporary teeth than usual while using them. ✨ Avoid tough foods ✨ Reduce sticky foods ✨ Do not bite on ice ✨ Do not chew excessively in only one direction ✨ Reduce the habit of clenching your teeth ❔ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Can I reuse a temporary tooth if I bring it in even if it breaks? A1. If the temporary tooth has come off cleanly, it can be reattached immediately after lightly cleaning and bringing it in. Even if it is damaged, it is recommended to gather the pieces and bring them in, as the dental clinic needs to check the condition and either modify or remake it. Q2. Food keeps getting stuck in the spot where the temporary tooth fell out. Is it okay to poke around? A2. If you forcefully poke at the missing tooth with a toothpick or similar object, it may cause injury to the gums or increase the risk of infection. We recommend brushing your teeth gently, maintaining oral hygiene through light gargling, and visiting a dentist as soon as possible. 📌 Conclusion Losing a temporary implant tooth is a more common occurrence than you might think during the treatment process. The important thing is not to panic and try to solve it yourself with super glue or the like. Please keep the temporary tooth in its container, avoid chewing food on the treated area, and visit the dentist as soon as your schedule allows to have it checked by the medical staff.

이현섭 원장26.07.01Views 64Likes 3 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment. Don't hesitate to check your oral health first!

이현섭 원장26.06.24Views 181Likes 2 [Health Column] I've already had veneers; is it possible to get braces?[3]
Hello, this is Director Oh Su-hwan of Smile D Dental Clinic. There are many people who previously received veneers for a beautiful smile but are now concerned as their teeth have gradually become misaligned over time. I want to receive orthodontic treatment again, but, "Do I have to remove all the existing veneers?", "What about the cost and pain?" There are quite a few cases where people feel anxious, saying things like that. Today, I will provide clear solutions for each case regarding whether orthodontic treatment is possible even with veneers. So, shall we start by addressing the key question that many of you are curious about? 🤔 1️⃣ Do I absolutely have to remove braces after veneers? ✨ It is reasonable to accurately diagnose the current situation and proceed selectively with only the necessary parts. To start with the conclusion, having veneers does not mean that orthodontic treatment is impossible. However, the treatment strategy simply varies depending on the patient's dental condition. We must accurately diagnose the condition rather than unconditionally removing the entire tooth. One example is a case where the laminate prosthesis itself is firmly attached, but only the lower teeth are slightly misaligned. ⚠️ Rather than blindly removing all the prosthetics, Please consult a specialist first to see if there are any parts that can be preserved. The treatment method varies completely depending on the condition. Which category does my tooth fall into? 👇 2️⃣ What are the situational treatment cases that suit me? ✨ It proceeds in three directions depending on the condition of the prosthesis and the purpose of occlusion. 🔸 If the laminate is in good condition (conservative correction) If you are satisfied with the color or shape of the existing laminates and there are no significant issues such as fractures, correction is possible while maintaining them. You can attach orthodontic brackets through tooth surface treatment, or correct only the tooth alignment using clear aligners. 🔸 When partial replacement of the laminate is required This is a case where you are dissatisfied because part of your tooth is fractured or your gums are in poor condition. We remove only the problematic laminates and proceed with orthodontic treatment, then fabricate new laminates only for that specific area after the correction. 🔸 Cases where a complete redesign is required It is necessary not just for simple tooth movement, but when the occlusion itself is not harmonious, such as in cases of protruding teeth, open bite, or facial asymmetry. The laminates must be removed to check the original alignment and condition of the teeth. If necessary, the original tooth positions are restored using temporary teeth before proceeding with orthodontic treatment, and finally, the aesthetic prosthetics are redesigned. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If braces are attached to teeth that have been laminated, won't they fall off easily? A1. Of course, it requires more caution than attaching it to natural teeth. However, since current dental technology allows for sufficient surface treatment to ensure attachment, you do not need to worry too much. Q2. Is more tooth reduction involved when removing laminates? A2. The key is to avoid causing additional damage to teeth that have already been prepared for veneers. We delicately remove existing prosthetics and safely proceed with orthodontic treatment while protecting the teeth using temporary teeth if necessary. Q3. The treatment period and cost are very burdensome. A3. 'Selective redesign' tailored to your oral condition is much more efficient than redoing the entire set. Rather than indiscriminate replacement, it is important to determine the scope of treatment in consultation with a specialist, considering overall facial harmony and functional occlusion. 🎯 Conclusion: A thoughtful choice for a healthy smile 📌 Key Points: Just because your teeth are slightly misaligned, you do not necessarily need to get braces or, conversely, insist on veneers. ✨ To maintain a healthy and attractive smile line even 10 or 20 years from now Clearly understanding the current tooth alignment and occlusion status This is the priority. 🩺 If you are currently concerned about your tooth alignment, we recommend that you consult thoroughly with an orthodontist, including whether you can maintain your veneers. An accurate diagnosis is the first step to achieving satisfactory results.

오수환 원장26.06.23Views 96Likes 2 [Health Column] Laminates: How Many Should I Get? How to Find the Right Number for Your Teeth[4]
Hello. This is Dr. Lee Jung-ho, Chief Director of Seoul Dia Dental Clinic. ✨ "How many laminates should I get?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions by people visiting the dental clinic for consultations. However, there isn't actually a single, definitive answer to this question. For some, one is the right answer, for others, four is, and for still others, more. 💡 The key here is! It's not about finding a standard number, but finding the number that fits you perfectly. So, shall we go through the criteria for determining the right number of laminates for you, one by one? 1. How many teeth are problematic? This is the most basic standard. 📌 🔸 What if you only have one discolored tooth? Just one might be enough. 🔸 On the other hand, what if your entire front teeth are uneven? You might need several. As such, the number and location of the problematic teeth serve as the first criterion. 2. How well does it harmonize with the surrounding teeth? This is where the really important part begins! ✨ Let's assume you get just one laminate. If that single piece blends naturally with the surrounding teeth in color, shape, and size, one is sufficient. ⚠️ However, if the surrounding teeth are too dark or significantly different in shape, doing just one might actually make it stand out too much. 📌 In such cases, treating a few surrounding teeth together results in a much more natural overall outcome. ✔ The reason for increasing the number may not be to gain more profit, but to achieve a more natural result. 3. How far do your teeth extend when you smile? How many teeth can you see when you smile naturally and widely? 😊 Usually, about 6 to 8 of the front teeth are the most visible when smiling. 📌 When getting veneers, it is really important to maintain balance within the visible range when smiling. Let's take an example. If you have six teeth visible when you smile but only get veneers on two of them, it may look awkward because the color and shape differ from the other four. ⚠️ Conversely, there is absolutely no need to unnecessarily increase the number to the point where it is not visible when smiling. 4. What is the current state of your tooth occlusion? How the teeth interlock (occlusion) also has a significant impact on determining the number. 🦷 📌 If there are occlusion problems: Increasing the number and adjusting them together can sometimes produce better results. 📌 In cases of good occlusion: It is much better for tooth preservation to remove only the necessary teeth and minimize the number. 🔹 Is it really necessary to do a lot to make it good? That is absolutely not the correct answer! ❌ It is true that having more pieces makes it easier to match the color and shape with surrounding teeth and relatively easier to maintain the results. However, that absolutely does not mean that everyone needs a large number. ⚠️ Recommending 8 to someone who needs 1 is not a choice for the patient's benefit. Laminates are a treatment that is difficult to reverse once performed. Therefore, they must be precisely designed to be exactly what is needed. Because that is the correct treatment for the true patient. 🤝 🎯 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I heard that laminates should be done in even numbers, but is it okay to do them in odd numbers? A1. Since left-right symmetry is considered based on the midline of the front teeth, an even number of teeth often looks more natural. However, if the number of discolored or damaged teeth is odd, such as one or three, that number alone is sufficient. The important thing is how naturally they blend with the surrounding teeth. Q2. The number recommended varies at every dental clinic I consulted. Why is that? A2. The recommended number of veneers may vary because diagnostic criteria and treatment philosophies differ from dental clinic to clinic. Consulting thoroughly at several places and comparing the options is a good way to find the number that is perfect for you. 🔸 Conclusion: What matters is the standard of the result. ✔️ Key Summary: Having more is not necessarily better, nor is having fewer better. ✔️ Key Point: The key is to carefully craft them by finding the right number for your tooth condition and meticulously considering the color, shape, and occlusion to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. ✔️ Necessity of Consulting a Specialist: It is the role of a dentist to accurately determine the right number for you and achieve natural-looking results. To make an informed decision, please be sure to have a thorough consultation with a specialist first! 🩺 Seoul Dia Dental Clinic Chief Director Lee Jeong-ho Ministry of Health and Welfare Certified Specialist in Integrated Dentistry Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry Advanced Dentistry procedure university High-end implants Dentistry procedure Oral Design Uncensored laminate course American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) Regular member Osstem Implant Clinical Research Center Research Advisory Committee
