Prosthetic Treatment

PROSTHETIC TREATMENT

When a tooth is beyond saving,
With artisanal craftsmanship,
We restore all functions—chewing, pronunciation, and aesthetics—to their pre-loss state.

How should I treat a lost tooth?

We examine the missing area, remaining teeth, alveolar bone, occlusion, and potential for maintenance to select the most suitable restoration method for the patient.

Resin-Bonded Bridge

Resin-Bonded Bridge

A prosthetic that utilizes adjacent teeth to bond a missing tooth with resin, while preserving surrounding teeth as much as possible.

  • Minimizes reduction of surrounding teeth.
  • Relatively simple treatment process.
  • Ideal for areas with relatively low occlusal force, such as front teeth.
  • Can aesthetically restore teeth while preserving gums and teeth as much as possible.
Bridge

Bridge

A prosthetic that connects the missing tooth to the adjacent teeth on both sides, using them as abutments.

  • Restores missing teeth without implant surgery.
  • Treatment possible in a relatively short period.
  • Connects multiple teeth to restore both function and aesthetics.
  • Can be considered even when implant placement is difficult.
Implants

Implants

A prosthetic where an artificial tooth root is implanted into the jawbone at the site of a missing tooth, and a crown is then connected with a screw.

  • Restores the missing area without reducing surrounding teeth.
  • Applicable to a wide range of cases, from a single missing tooth to multiple missing teeth.
  • Expected to last for a long period with proper maintenance.
Dentures / Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentures / Implant-Supported Dentures

A removable prosthetic that can be inserted and removed, restoring multiple missing teeth as a single unit.

  • Can restore a large number of teeth at once.
  • Advantages include reduced cost and surgical burden.
  • Easy to maintain hygiene as it is removable.
  • Utilizing implants can create more comfortable and effective chewing dentures.

Prosthetics should consider not just the moment of placement,
but also the entire time you'll be using them.

  • 01

    Diagnosis by a Prosthodontist

    We determine the prosthetic method by comprehensively assessing not only the damaged teeth and missing areas but also the remaining tooth structure, gums, and occlusion.

  • 02

    Direct Collaboration with In-House Dental Lab

    The medical team and the lab manager share treatment plans and oral scan information, coordinating the shape, shade, and contact points during the fabrication process.

  • 03

    Detailed Adjustment of Form, Shade, and Occlusion

    We ensure the final prosthesis blends naturally with surrounding teeth and distributes chewing forces evenly.

Prosthetic Treatment Q&A

  • A.

    Consider this when you've lost a tooth and experience discomfort chewing or speaking, or when you need to restore your appearance. Implants, bridges, or dentures can help restore form and function.

  • A.

    We work with our in-house dental lab to match and adjust the color, transparency, shape, and texture of surrounding teeth. We also ensure overall harmony during the fabrication process.

  • A.

    This depends on the treated area, remaining teeth, and gum condition. If necessary, we use temporary teeth to assess the condition and will provide an estimated duration after diagnosis.

    This depends on the condition of your teeth, the fit of the prosthesis, your bite, and your oral hygiene habits. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the prosthesis and surrounding gum health.
