Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic: Same-Day Resin Restoration Available Even for Front Tooth Fracture Emergencies (Also Available for Overseas Residents)

Hello,

I’m Park Jeong-gi, the director of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic in Bongcheon-dong.

Resin treatment is one of the most common and highly satisfying areas of care.

In particular, because same-day treatment is possible in emergency situations such as front tooth fractures, it has been a great help to many patients.

Fracture Treatment Method: Diagnostic Criteria

When a tooth breaks, it is not always possible to simply fill it.

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic, I will explain a few criteria.

First, the extent of the fracture is important.

If the fracture is limited to the enamel or dentin and does not reach the pulp (nerve), resin restoration is usually sufficient.

If the fractured area is less than half the size of the entire tooth, and the root area has not been damaged,

there is still enough remaining tooth structure, which provides sufficient surface area for the resin to bond firmly, so retention can be improved.

Also, if the location is one where excessive force is not applied during biting, the material is hard and highly durable, so it can be used for a sufficient period of time. However, if the internal pulp is visible or the fracture is severe enough to affect the root, root canal treatment, a crown, or even extraction may be required.

That is why at Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic, in emergency situations such as fractures, we believe diagnosis based on the doctor’s treatment philosophy is extremely important. If you have been told that it can be filled with resin, then it is time to fully make use of that advantage, right? Same-day Treatment Completion

2025.05.29

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic, being able to finish everything on the same day seems like the biggest advantage of all.

Unlike inlays or crowns, it is completed in a single visit,

which is especially useful for overseas residents, workers with a short stay in Korea, and patients who have difficulty visiting multiple times due to a busy job or school schedule. Tooth Preservation The fact that the amount of tooth reduction is minimal is also an important advantage.

A crown requires shaving the outer circumference of the tooth structure in order to cover it,

but resin allows the damaged part of the tooth to be adjusted and restored right away, which has the advantage of preserving the natural tooth.

At Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic as well, we aim for a conservative approach that fills when filling is possible,

so if treatment with minimal reduction is possible, we believe it is better to provide it. High Aesthetics

2025.05.29

In terms of aesthetics as well, it is possible to achieve shades and translucency that are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

In particular, front teeth are highly visible when smiling or talking, so a natural appearance is very important, and this can be sufficiently achieved.

Because filling can be done while considering translucency and shade, it offers high aesthetic value. Reasonable Cost The fact that it is cost-effective is also highly valued at Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic.

Compared with crowns or implants, it is quite economical while still delivering excellent results.

As a result, satisfaction tends to be high as well. However, resin treatment is not a permanent solution. Depending on eating habits, chewing force, lifestyle, and maintenance methods, it typically lasts about 5 to 10 years, and discoloration or wear may occur over time.

But because retreatment is relatively simple and economical, the burden is low.

Especially in emergency situations where you are living overseas or need to return to daily life immediately, it can be a very practical choice.

It is also possible to switch to a more permanent method later, when circumstances allow, so it becomes an excellent option for solving the immediate problem! The fracture I explained today at Bongcheon-dong Dental Clinic can happen to anyone and can occur anytime, anywhere.

If a tooth breaks or you have a difficult problem with a front tooth, I hope this post was helpful in considering same-day resin treatment, and I’ll wrap up here.

Thank you for reading. This was Park Jeong-gi, director of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic in Bongcheon-dong.
