The Power to Protect Natural Teeth: Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital’s Philosophy of Conservative Treatment

Hello.

This is Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital😊

Once a tooth is damaged,

it does not naturally recover.

So the goal of treatment should be

not simply to eliminate the painful area,

but to preserve natural teeth for as long as possible.

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital follows the principle of “preservation over extraction”

and operates a treatment system that protects the life of teeth

without unnecessary damage.

Precise pre-examination through endoscopy

Gum disease and cavities

are often not easily visible from the outside, so they can be left untreated.

Our Jamsil dental clinic, Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital,

uses oral endoscopy together with panoramic X-rays and CT scans

to allow you to directly see

the location where tartar has accumulated and inflammation inside the gums.

If it cannot be resolved with simple scaling,

we help improve the condition step by step through an intensive care program

that includes periodontal curettage, physical therapy, and home-care education.

“Gum disease” experienced by more than half of adults

One out of every two adults

already has gum disease.

In the early stages, there is almost no pain, so it is often left untreated,

but as the inflammation progresses, teeth can become loose

and eventually fall out.

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital helps prevent these gum diseases

through regular checkups and early treatment,

and provides management methods that are non-surgical and allow a quick return to daily life.

Cavities are also approached with a focus on preservation

Treatment methods for cavities differ by stage.

At Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital, treatment plans are created according to the depth of the cavity

based on the principle of minimal removal and maximum preservation.

Cavity stage	Description	Treatment method
Enamel cavity	Early cavity on the tooth surface	Resin treatment
Dentin cavity	Sensitivity to cold foods	Inlay
Pulpitis cavity	Severe pain, infection reaches the nerve	Root canal treatment + crown
Periodontal necrosis	Inflammation spreads to the root	Extraction + implant

Prosthetics are also chosen carefully

After cavity treatment, a prosthetic restoration is placed.

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital uses only materials that are safe for the human body

and take both aesthetics and strength into account.

Ceramic inlay (e.max): similar color and translucency to natural teeth, excellent aesthetics

Zirconia crown: high strength and excellent durability, applicable to all areas including molars

PFM crown: strong due to the internal metal structure, but may cause gum discoloration

Gold inlay: body-friendly and hardly deforms, suitable when bite force is strong

Considering the patient’s oral condition, bite, and even gum color,

we provide the most natural and functional result.

Root canal treatment process

1️⃣ Removal of cavities and inflammation

2️⃣ Removal and disinfection of nerve tissue

3️⃣ Root canal filling

4️⃣ Prosthetic restoration

If cavities have progressed severely and inflammation has spread to the nerve,

a highly advanced root canal treatment is needed to completely remove the nerve tissue and disinfect and fill the inside.

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital performs precise root canal treatment with specialized equipment and skilled techniques.

The inside of the tooth root is thoroughly sterilized and filled

to minimize recurrence, and then a crown is used to

restore the tooth’s function.

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital’s treatment philosophy

Seoul Orbe Dental Hospital places “preservation of natural teeth”

as the top value in treatment.

To protect the life of each tooth to the very end,

we do not perform unnecessary extractions

and aim for treatment that preserves

the original function and form of the tooth.

Even when severe cavities have damaged the nerve,

we first consider ways to save the tooth without extraction as much as possible,

and operate a preservation-oriented treatment protocol

to extend the life of the tooth.
