A large cavity may be suitable for resin build-up when sufficient sound tooth and bonding surfaces remain. Thin or cracked areas may need coverage with an onlay or crown. The decision about pulp or root canal treatment is separate from the choice of restoration.

Long-term service depends on the tooth’s starting condition, bonding, bite and ongoing care. Tooth next to the resin can develop new decay. A chip or new pain needs assessment so that repair or more extensive treatment addresses the cause.

A dark inlay margin is not always decay. If sound tooth remains after removal, resin build-up or a partial restoration may be possible. Extensive wall damage or cracks may need broader protection, while pulp health requires its own assessment.

Coffee and tea stains on tooth surfaces may be treated during the AIRFLOW stage of GBT. This is different from bleaching the tooth’s intrinsic colour. A single darkening tooth, pain or a damaged restoration needs diagnosis before cosmetic cleaning.

First distinguish a loose crown or connecting component from movement of the implant itself. The decision to retain or remove an implant depends on inflammation, remaining bone and its likely future stability.

Compare the reasons for the plan, the final tooth design and realistic long-term care. Travel within Jeju and help from family should be part of the plan.
Read article →
Current disease control, medication, oral condition and recovery matter more than age alone. Do not stop or change prescribed medication without instructions from the treating clinicians.

Begin with the remaining teeth and the difficulties experienced during meals. Compare removable and fixed options alongside medical health, recovery and everyday care.

Different plans can reflect different priorities. Compare the reasons, alternatives, final tooth design and follow-up rather than the implant count or total price alone.

Choose the number from bone, distribution, stability, the bite and the final restoration. Long-term cleaning and how problems will be managed are part of the decision.

Immediate placement, delayed placement and same-day temporary teeth are separate decisions. Bone, infection, implant stability and the final tooth position determine timing.
Read article →
Work back from the intended final teeth, check the plan against the actual mouth and carry lessons from temporary teeth into the final restoration.

Look for explanations you understand: why treatment is needed, whether teeth can be preserved, what alternatives exist and how the result will be maintained.
Read article →Preserve sound tooth and restore its form and function. Bonding, resin build-up and fibre reinforcement are chosen for the individual tooth; an onlay or crown may be needed when additional protection is required.

Plan from the final teeth, then assess whether available bone, grafting or a different implant arrangement can support a stable and maintainable result.

Assess the remaining teeth before deciding on extraction. Compare dentures and fixed teeth according to your health, expectations, bone and ability to manage daily care.
Read article →
Age alone does not decide. Disease control, medication, bone, the whole recovery process and long-term help with cleaning should be assessed together.
Read article →
Ask why teeth need removal, how final tooth positions determine implant placement, what conditions allow temporary teeth and how final restoration and follow-up will be managed.

Choose the extent of treatment from the tooth’s condition. Preserve sound tooth where possible, assess the bite and confirm fit, contact and cleaning after placement.
