Tooth Repair

Cracks, gaps, fractures

What is composite resin?

The front teeth, which are located at the very front

and seem like they should be strong,

are actually weak teeth that can break easily even with a small amount of force.

Even without a direct impact,

if you often tear food with your front teeth or chew with them,

the pressure applied to the front teeth

can cause wear, cracks, fractures, and more.

If wear, cracks, fractures, and similar problems occur

and you want to treat the front teeth,

but the condition is not severe enough

to require laminate or crown treatment,

a treatment that can be recommended is composite resin.

Composite resin is a plastic-like synthetic resin.

As a composite resin made of organic polymers and inorganic fillers,

it has strong adhesion and a tooth-colored appearance,

so it is used for various purposes.

The method used in tooth repair with composite resin

is to melt the plastic-like synthetic resin,

fill the needed area with it, and harden it.

Types of Composite Resin

Composite resin used for tooth repair

can be divided according to how it hardens.

  • Self-cure type

It hardens gradually over time

Disadvantage: strong odor

  • Light-cure type

It hardens as soon as light is applied

Fast and odorless

  • Dual-cure type

Uses both self-cure type and light-cure type

Therefore, it has the disadvantage of a strong odor

Also, composite resin used for tooth repair

can be divided according to viscosity and handling.

  • Flowable composite resin

Has good flowability

  • Condensable composite resin

Has good hardness

The cost of composite resin treatment

is around 100,000 KRW on average

and around 200,000 KRW at most,

but as the treatment area gets larger,

the amount of resin needed also increases,

and more skill from the medical staff is required,

so the cost can vary.

For the exact cost of tooth repair,

please consult with the medical staff.
