The smaller the restoration,
the more delicate the diagnosis and planning.
Resin is not just about filling empty spaces.
We consider the extent of damage, occlusion, and the color and translucency of surrounding teeth,
planning for natural harmony by taking into account tooth proportion and surface texture.
Resin buildup, this is how it proceeds.
We check the tooth condition and occlusion, then plan a color and shape that harmonizes with surrounding teeth.
After restoration, we check the bite and surface for a smooth finish.

Resin Buildup Q&A
-
While it depends on maintenance, with regular check-ups and proper care, it can last stably for several years. Partial repairs are possible if discoloration or wear occurs.
-
It depends on your tooth condition. If the damage is not extensive, resin buildup alone is often sufficient. We will guide you to the appropriate method through a precise diagnosis.
-
Discoloration can occur over time due to heavily staining foods or smoking. Regular scaling and maintenance can help maintain it for a long time.
-
Most resin buildup procedures are completed in a single visit. However, if the area is extensive or multiple teeth are involved, it may take longer.
