Sillim Station Dental Clinic: Same-Day Resin Treatment to Repair a Chipped Front Tooth Edge Discreetly in One Day

Hello,

I’m Director Park Jeong-gi from Seoul Remember Dental Clinic near Sillim Station.

Have you ever experienced a front tooth chipping while eating, exercising, or in some unexpected moment?

Because the front teeth are located at the center of the face,

even a small chip can have a big impact on your overall appearance.

In particular, if a fracture occurs at the incisal edge,

the tip of the crown that plays the role of cutting food,

it becomes even more noticeable,

so you may find yourself worrying about it every time you smile.

Today, at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic,

I’ll explain how to solve this kind of concern in just one day.

c.c : Incisal edge fracture

This is a case where the tip of the upper right front tooth was chipped,

and although it’s unclear whether it happened while eating hard food

or during intense exercise,

at some point this tip had broken off.

There was no particular pain,

but it must have been very concerning from an esthetic standpoint.

Even when problems like this occur,

many patients have busy work schedules

and have difficulty visiting the clinic multiple times.

That is why, at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic,

if you take the time out of your busy schedule to come in,

we do our best to provide as much treatment as possible in a single day.

Oral examination and treatment plan

First, it is important to accurately determine

the extent of the fractured area.

The treatment method can vary depending on how much the tooth is broken.

Fortunately, this case was identified as a simple incisal edge fracture

with no damage to the pulp.

So at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic,

we decided to perform a same-day restoration using resin

without root canal treatment.

Because of the material’s characteristics,

it can be hardened immediately using light curing,

so it can be restored in just one day.

After precisely analyzing the patient’s tooth color,

a natural-looking resin shade is selected and applied.

Light-cured resin takes about 30 minutes,

so chair time is not long.

However, since we need to match the length of the adjacent tooth

and make the incisal edge look beautiful,

the time required may vary from case to case.

First, the fractured tooth surface was carefully cleaned,

and pretreatment was performed to increase adhesion.

Then, the selected resin was layered gradually

to recreate the original shape of the tooth.

After that, the layered material was cured with a light-curing device

to finish it firmly and securely.

Finally, we checked the shape, thickness, and occlusion,

and polished it so that it would have a glossy, natural shine.

Treatment results and precautions

Looking at the result after all treatment was completed

at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic,

it was restored so naturally that it looked like the original tooth.

It is barely noticeable,

so much so that you would not be able to tell at all where it had been chipped.

The color was also similar and the shape was made consistent,

so even the clinician was satisfied with the result.

After resin restoration,

there are a few precautions.

If I mention a few at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic,

please avoid hard and chewy foods as much as possible,

and refrain from using the front teeth to forcefully tear or cut things.

It is also important to check through regular examinations

whether the material is still firmly bonded.

The resin treatment explained today at the Sillim Station Dental Clinic

has many advantages.

Because same-day treatment is possible,

there is no need to visit multiple times,

and everything can be completed in just one day.

There is also no need for a temporary prosthesis,

so it does not interfere with daily life.

In addition, the amount of tooth reduction is minimized,

which helps preserve the natural tooth.

If you are worried because a front tooth has chipped,

you can restore a natural and beautiful smile quickly with same-day resin treatment,

so please do not worry too much

and visit a nearby medical institution for treatment.

Thank you for reading.
