Godeok-dong Dental Clinic: Treatment Process for Filling the Gap Between the Upper Front Teeth with Resin

Hello!

This is Seoul Vardi Dental Clinic in Godeok-dong.

The gap between the front teeth that shows when you smile,

many people say they want to close the space at once with laminate or crown treatment,

but among patients, there are also many who feel that filing down the teeth is too burdensome and want to approach it with as little intervention as possible.

A gap between the front teeth can be approached step by step. A diagnosis comes first, and enough conversation with the patient’s needs must come before treatment.

Step 1: Try resin first Step 2: If there are issues such as repeated detachment or discoloration, consider laminate Step 3: If there are still problems, then consider full prosthetic treatment

Rather than immediately choosing an expensive treatment, I will explain in detail the treatment process tailored to the patient’s anxiety and situation.

Concern at the time of the visit Godeok-dong Dental Clinic

"There is a space between my front teeth, and I had it filled with resin before..

Now it’s gone,,, Can this be filled again?"

Since it kept coming off repeatedly, I think it had become a concern.

A gap between the front teeth is called diastema. Usually, there are three treatment methods.

1. Resin : This is a material that has the advantage of allowing treatment without touching the teeth. Because same-day treatment is possible, it is often the first choice.

However, you should keep in mind that its durability is relatively weak and there is a possibility of discoloration or detachment.

2. Laminate : It can provide natural aesthetics, and because it is porcelain, discoloration is minimal.

Since it does not require removing the entire tooth, it is often used to restore a complex.

3. Crown or orthodontic treatment Orthodontic treatment can be a fundamental treatment method, but because it takes a long time, it is a treatment that people may or may not prefer.

Crowns are approached only when necessary after diagnosing the patient’s dental condition.

Because it involves a relatively large amount of tooth reduction, it is the method chosen last.

Patient’s words Godeok-dong Dental Clinic I feel too burdened by the idea of filing down my teeth, and I don’t like it.

So after a thorough consultation, a step-by-step treatment plan was proposed.

First, let’s redo the treatment with resin, and if it comes off again or discoloration becomes severe, then let’s consider laminate at that time..

Let’s start with a conservative method while minimizing the patient’s anxiety.

The tooth surface is thoroughly cleaned, and surface treatment is performed so that the resin can adhere well.

Since resin is a bonding material, the intermediate steps are really important.

A resin matched to the tooth color was selected, and the gap between the front teeth was filled naturally.

The surface was polished smoothly, and we checked it again together with the patient in the mirror.

Post-treatment care Godeok-dong Dental Clinic After resin treatment, the patient was informed of the following care instructions.

1. Avoid biting or tearing with the front teeth
2. Be careful with foods that stain -> So you can brush right away
3. Regular checkups

If a problem occurs within the warranty period, we will redo it, so the patient also needs to pay attention.

If there is a problem, come in right away.

Many people, when there is a gap between the front teeth,

ask a lot which is better: resin vs laminate

To be honest, there is no such thing.

There is only an ideal method depending on the condition of the teeth.

And because the patient’s needs vary, we establish a treatment plan based on those two criteria.

So if you are worried about the gap between your front teeth, don’t worry alone—come see a specialist.

We first understand the patient’s concerns, and then propose treatment that fits them.

Thank you
