At Yeonhap Dental Clinic, whitening gel is applied and activated with light three times in a single visit using Osstem Beautis15, and we look at the shade again 1–2 weeks later to decide whether to add more. This article covers how the procedure is done, how shade is assessed and maintained, sensitivity and aftercare, and what to check before treatment.

A gap between the front teeth (diastema) is handled with resin, a crown, or orthodontics depending on the proportion of the front teeth once the gap is closed, the depth of the bite, and the condition of the tooth surface to be bonded. At Yeonhap Dental Clinic in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon, if all three conditions fit, we bond resin using a BioClear matrix; if the length also has to be extended, we consider a crown; and if the teeth need to be moved, we refer you to an orthodontist.

At Yeonhap Dental Clinic in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon, most front tooth crowns are made of zirconia, and PFZ is used when color matching is especially important. PFM, with a metal lingual surface, is chosen only when the conditions are clear, such as an abutment for a partial denture, a need to reduce tooth preparation, or a site under strong bite force. The material is not chosen first and the tooth fitted to it; the condition of the tooth narrows down the material.
