Hello~

I’m Lee Ju-ri, the chief director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic!!

Although I provide treatment in clinical practice,

if it’s only slightly chipped, front tooth treatment!

If it’s badly broken, a crown!

I do not set things up this way and treat patients accordingly.

Because each patient has a different bite

and different circumstances,

even the same condition can be treated in different ways.

What Is Better at the Fork in the Road Between Composite Resin and Laminate Veneers for a Slightly Chipped Front Tooth?

Today, I’d like to introduce both methods

used for front tooth treatment~

A slightly chipped front tooth is common!!

People also say the front tooth has been chipped off

A corner may be slightly broken off,

or part of the shape may be deformed,

which can easily be seen around you.

When someone falls,

the front teeth are often the first to take the impactㅠㅠ

So they can break due to trauma.

Because of Korean eating habits,

people really love hard foods.

Front teeth should only be used for cutting,

but people eat ganjang gejang...

or use them to open bottle caps,

and they get damaged for various reasons.

There are two treatment methods for a slightly chipped front tooth.

First, fill only the broken part with resin.

Second, reinforce it with a laminate veneer.

There is no treatment that is definitively better!

Because each treatment has its own pros and cons,

I explain both options in detail,

and the patient makes the choice~

Slightly Chipped Front Tooth Composite Resin Treatment

Resin is a method of layering material only on the broken area~

Compared with laminate veneers,

it requires less tooth reduction

and is relatively less expensive.

It has the advantage of being completed in one day!!

However, when you eat hard or firm foods,

the restored area may come off...

The real problem appears over time.

As time passes, discoloration can occur in the gaps of the resin restoration,

making it very noticeable.

If you keep eating foods with color,

such as coffee or red ginseng,ㅠㅠ

it can start to look black,

so some patients even come in asking for cavity treatment.

Laminate veneers can make up for those shortcomings!!

Slightly Chipped Front Tooth Laminate Veneer Treatment

Laminate veneer treatment is not a partial filling,

but a treatment in which prosthetic material is attached to the tooth like nail art.

Because it is bonded to the entire front surface of the tooth,

it does not feel unnatural!!

It looks very natural~

With resin, the quality can vary depending on the person.

The degree of roundness or sharpness of the front tooth

depends on the clinician~

A tiny difference can make a big difference in how it looks,

but laminate veneers are prosthetics,

so they can be fabricated with precision.

The downside is that, compared with resin treatment, it is more expensive.

The amount of tooth reduction may be slightly greater.

Because an impression is taken for the prosthetic and you come back later for bonding,

it requires about two visits!!

No matter which method is used for treatment,

the important thing is to reflect the patient’s needs.

Since it is the patients who have to keep using their teeth,

we carry out treatment through continuous feedback.

If your front tooth is unfortunately chipped,

broken, or develops a problem,

please come quickly!!

We will help you restore it naturally without it being noticeable!!!
