Restorative Dentistry

Restorative treatment rebuilds chewing function and comfort. A certified prosthodontic specialist oversees planning from diagnosis to bite adjustment.

Prosthodontics Why Restorative Treatment Matters

Extensive tooth damage or loss can affect chewing, speech, appearance and the balance of the bite. Restorative care aims to restore these functions.

Leaving a gap can allow adjacent and opposing teeth to move. Restorative planning therefore considers more than filling a space: the whole bite is assessed for long-term comfort and function.

At Seoul Point Dental Clinic, a Prosthodontic specialist certified by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare, Director Baek Chang Hyun, oversees diagnosis, design, fitting and bite adjustment.

Process Restorative Treatment Steps

STEP 01

Detailed Diagnosis and Bite Assessment

Remaining teeth, gums and the bite are assessed to plan treatment scope.

Tooth Preparation and Scanning

Teeth are prepared conservatively and recorded with an intraoral scanner.

STEP 03

Custom Fabrication

Digital restoration equipment supports fabrication to the planned colour, shape and bite.

STEP 04

Fitting and Bite Adjustment

After fitting, the bite is carefully adjusted and care instructions are explained.

Caring for Restorations

  • An adjustment period may be needed. Arrange a review if discomfort continues.
  • Very hard or sticky foods can damage restorations.
  • Decay and gum disease can still occur around restorations, so regular check-ups are important.
