Seocho Dental Clinic Case of Gummy Contouring and Resin Treatment for a Peg Lateral Tooth in an Out-of-Town Dental Hygienist

The front teeth, you know,

if anyone looks at them and thinks, “Oh, they had work done?”

then I think I’ve failed.

“Beautiful, but it doesn’t look like it was treated.”

That one line is the best compliment,

and the smile I always aim for.

Today’s patient was a practicing dental hygienist who knew teeth better than anyone.

She said she came to our clinic after being recommended by the dentist she worked for, as a place that was good with front teeth.

(We would like to take this opportunity to thank the dentist who made the recommendation🙏🏻)

Since I live in a provincial area... I want to finish the treatment in one day. Seocho Dental Clinic

Same-day completion... It wasn’t a particularly difficult request, so I gladly said it was possible^^

More and more dental professionals have been visiting us, or coming through referrals. Thank you so much!!!!! I’ll keep working even harder as Director Soh 😄🙏🙏

Small, short peg teeth: is the problem only the teeth? Seocho Dental Clinic

This patient’s concern was clear.

The two front teeth were small and short, so they really stood out when she smiled.

The teeth themselves were peg-shaped, but the bigger problem was that the gum line had dropped too far.

Because there was so much gum covering the teeth, it was actually a state where the teeth were hidden. Seocho Dental Clinic

On top of that, the left and right heights were different, so when she smiled there was even a subtle crooked feel.

Since she worked in dentistry, she said these details felt even more noticeable.

The reason a one-day treatment plan was possible is all about the order! Seocho Dental Clinic

“Let’s do the gum contouring first, then the resin after a few days.” That’s usually how it’s divided and carried out.

But for a patient who came from far away, that schedule would be inconvenient. So this was the plan we proposed.

1. On the same day, perform gum contouring to secure the true length of the teeth

2. Once the gums are sufficiently exposed, perform precise resin restoration matched to that height

3. Finish the resin to look like natural teeth, and the gums with a natural line as if they had always been there Seocho Dental Clinic

If you want to do a lot at once, the preparation has to be much more thorough.

You have to consider gum thickness, whether there will be bleeding, and even the expected recovery.

So with combination procedures like this, not only design sense but also sensitivity to tissue response is important😄

• We also use the best equipment^^..

The process of shaping the gums and redesigning the smile Seocho Dental Clinic

On the morning of the procedure, first we precisely removed part of the gum covering the teeth,

and using a laser and microsurgical instruments, we accurately designed the length at which the tooth shape would be revealed.

We adjusted the gum line so that it connected naturally while matching the height of the teeth on both sides.

After that came the resin restoration right away. Seocho Dental Clinic

We minimized the amount of tooth reduction, and adjusted the translucency and brightness to match the existing shape of the teeth.

Especially to compensate for the “small-looking” impression that is characteristic of peg teeth, we also applied shading that takes natural refraction into account when light hits the tooth.

And the result?

“Wow... this is really so natural.”

“The color and length are both just right. Matching the length was my biggest concern!”

As a dental hygienist, she immediately picked up on these detailed points 😄

What kind of change did it create? Seocho Dental Clinic

When she came back for a follow-up check, the boundary between the teeth and gums was so neatly arranged.

We made only minor adjustments, and the patient instead said, “Would it be okay if I recommend this to the hospital I work at?” showing her trust.

Could there be anything more rewarding than this?

Treating front teeth really involves a lot to consider....

The gum line, length, color, symmetry, and smile line must all connect harmoniously to complete the result.

What I aim for is to achieve that in one day, with as little removal as possible👍

We think of front teeth as art.

That’s why we treat them more delicately, more naturally, and above all, in a way that minimizes alteration to the teeth so they can be used for a long time.

“Gums are the background, and teeth are the star.” To help the star shine like a star, we first tidy up the background😊
