Resin Discoloration Retreatment: Shall We Make It Clean Again?

Treating teeth with resin

is one of the least damaging methods for the teeth,

but the treatment results and durability

often vary greatly depending on the dentist’s delicate handling of the material.

Especially in the front teeth area,

how carefully the tooth surface was cleaned

before starting the bonding process

can also determine the long-term outcome.

If plaque or other organic substances attached to the tooth

are not removed before resin bonding,

it will of course discolor easily.

Another important factor is which adhesive is used.

If you use an expensive adhesive that contains a lot of filler,

then, as the adhesive wears down and creates gaps,

foreign substances can infiltrate and cause discoloration under the resin,

which can be significantly reduced.

In addition, this patient had existing resin

layered on thickly in multiple places, so the discoloration had become even more unsightly.

When bonding new resin to old resin,

it is necessary to clean the surface with professional equipment such as

air polisher

Airflow or Aqua Care

in order to increase adhesion.

This is a photo of the case after all of the already discolored and contaminated existing resin

was removed,

and the resin was cleanly rebonded with a new shade matched to the tooth color.

It became so much cleaner..

It seems people often do not realize

that this can be simply corrected in just one day.

If you come at any time, we will retreat it neatly for you.

We will always do our best.
