Heal Dental Clinic in Hwagok provides comprehensive, patient-centered dental care for all ages and needs. **Preventive Care** - Dental Exam: A comprehensive evaluation of teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues with visual and tactile checks. It identifies problems early and guides personalized treatment planning. - Dental Cleaning (Prophylaxis): Professional removal of plaque, tartar, and stains above the gumline. It reduces gum inflammation and helps prevent cavities and periodontal disease. - Fluoride Treatment: Application of concentrated fluoride varnish or gel to strengthen enamel. It makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks and helps remineralize early decay. - Dental Sealants: Thin protective coatings painted into the grooves of molars. They block food and bacteria from settling and lower the risk of cavities in back teeth. **Restorative Dentistry** - Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite): Resin material bonded to repair small to medium cavities or chips. It restores form and function while matching the natural tooth shade. - Dental Crowns: Full-coverage caps placed over weakened or heavily restored teeth. They protect the tooth from fracture and improve appearance and chewing strength. - Dental Bridges: Fixed prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. They restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. - Inlays and Onlays: Custom lab-made restorations that repair larger cavities without full crowns. They conserve healthy tooth structure and provide a durable, precise fit. **Endodontics** - Root Canal Treatment: Removal of infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth, followed by cleaning and sealing the canals. It relieves pain, clears infection, and saves the natural tooth. **Periodontal Care** - Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Thorough removal of tartar and bacterial toxins below the gumline and smoothing of root surfaces. It reduces pocket depths and helps gums reattach to teeth. - Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing periodontal-focused cleanings at regular intervals after gum therapy. It controls bacterial levels and helps prevent disease recurrence. **Oral Surgery** - Tooth Extraction: Removal of compromised teeth that cannot be restored. It resolves infection and pain and prepares the site for replacement if needed. - Wisdom Tooth Extraction: Surgical removal of impacted or problematic third molars. It prevents crowding, decay in adjacent teeth, and recurrent gum infections around the area. **Orthodontics** - Braces: Bracket-and-wire system that gradually moves teeth into better alignment. It improves bite function, oral health, and aesthetics. - Clear Aligners (Invisalign): Series of removable, transparent trays that straighten teeth progressively. They offer discreet treatment and easier oral hygiene during orthodontic therapy. **Cosmetic Dentistry** - Teeth Whitening: Professional bleaching of teeth using in-office systems or custom trays. It lifts stains from enamel and brightens the smile safely. - Dental Veneers: Thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of teeth. They correct discoloration, minor misalignment, and shape discrepancies for a uniform look. - Dental Bonding: Application of tooth-colored resin to repair chips, gaps, or discoloration. It blends with natural enamel and is completed in a single visit. **Prosthodontics** - Dental Implants: Titanium posts surgically placed to replace missing tooth roots and support crowns or bridges. They preserve bone, feel stable, and function like natural teeth. - Dentures: Removable prosthetics that replace multiple missing teeth in a jaw. They restore chewing ability, support facial structure, and improve speech. **TMJ and Protective Appliances** - Night Guard: Custom acrylic or flexible appliance worn during sleep to reduce teeth grinding. It protects enamel, reduces jaw muscle strain, and helps prevent fractures. - TMJ Therapy: Non-surgical care for jaw joint and muscle disorders using splints, exercises, and habit counseling. It eases pain, improves function, and reduces joint strain. **Pediatric Dentistry** - Pediatric Checkups and Cleanings: Child-friendly exams and prophylaxis tailored to growing smiles. They build good habits early and catch issues when they are easier to treat. - Fluoride and Sealants for Children: Preventive fluoride varnish and sealants placed on young molars. They strengthen enamel and shield deep grooves against cavities. **Diagnostics and Imaging** - Dental X-rays: Low-dose radiographic images that reveal hidden decay, bone levels, and tooth roots. They guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. - Intraoral Scanner: Digital impression system that captures 3D models of teeth without trays and putty. It enhances comfort, speeds up restorations, and improves fit. **Emergency Care** - Emergency Dental Care: Same-day assessment and treatment for pain, broken teeth, swelling, or infections. It stabilizes the situation, relieves symptoms, and sets a plan for definitive care.
