**Clinic Introduction:**
TU Dental Clinic (TU Dental) at Gangnam Station is a trend-setting dental clinic dedicated to providing natural and beautiful smiles. They are renowned for minimizing pain during treatments and prioritizing the preservation of natural teeth.
**Orthodontics:**
- **General Orthodontics:** TU orthodontics establishes personalized treatment plans considering tooth alignment, age group, and lifestyle. They offer a variety of braces such as Clippy-L, Clippy-C, and Tiggle brackets to suit different aesthetic and comfort needs.
- **Clippy-L Brackets:** This type of bracket is attached to the inner side of the teeth, making it less noticeable and smaller, thereby reducing discomfort.
- **Clippy-C Brackets:** These snap-type self-ligating brackets are small in size, which reduces friction and shortens the treatment period.
- **Tiggle Brackets:** Tiggle brackets are designed to alleviate discomfort and speech difficulties caused by traditional lingual orthodontics by reducing the size of the bracket.
- **Combination Brackets:** For better aesthetics, a mix of metal and ceramic brackets are used, making this option more approachable compared to regular braces.
**Implants:**
- **Fullcase Implant:** This complex surgery requires at least 4 to 6 teeth and is carried out with a digital system for more accurate and precise treatment. TU Dental Clinic uses 3D imaging to visualize the oral condition and set up a precise surgical plan, followed by a minimal incision and the placement of a customized prosthesis.
- **Partial Implant:** This treatment restores the function of one or more teeth within a short period of time while taking into account the aesthetic features of the implant's shape, color, and transparency.
**Esthetic:**
- **ZeroNate Procedure:** An advanced ceramic fabrication technique from Switzerland that uses a thin coating film of 0.01mm to enhance the tooth’s shape and color without unnecessary removal. This process involves designing bespoke teeth and attaching a 0.01mm ceramic layer using enamel adhesive for a natural and healthy result.
- **Ceramic Inlays/Onlays:** Used to treat mid-phase caries with materials that mimic the natural color of teeth, providing strong durability and excellent aesthetics. Ceramic onlays are for larger or more widespread caries and offer excellent adhesion with minimal risk of falling off.
- **Zirconia Crowns:** Zirconia crowns are known for their durability and color similarity to natural teeth. They are non-toxic, human-friendly, and require minimal tooth removal, making them suitable for both front teeth and molars.
**Integrated Care:**
- **Caries Treatment:** Initial phase caries are treated with resin, a tooth-colored material that replaces the cavity. For deeper caries, inlays, onlays, or zirconia crowns are used, offering durability and aesthetic qualities similar to natural teeth. These treatments restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth while relieving pain and improving oral health.
