TMJ and Occlusion | Seoul Crown Dental Clinic, Gangnam

The real cause behind a recurring problem

If restorations keep fracturing, or chewing feels wrong on one side, the problem is often not a single tooth but the balance of chewing force across the bite.

One tooth does not tell you enough

Problems with the bite and the jaw joint are connected to fractured restorations, pain and repeated treatment. With only one tooth in focus, the same problem keeps coming back.

When the same problem keeps returning,
the answer is in the whole bite.

The Seoul Crown approach

We assess the bite as a whole to find the cause, then design the correction so the same problem does not come back.

Treated by a prosthodontic specialist

Occlusion is central to prosthodontic care. At Seoul Crown Dental Clinic near Hakdong Station in Gangnam, a board-certified prosthodontist (certified by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare) personally oversees everything from consultation to planning to treatment.

FAQ

Why do my restorations keep breaking?

The direction of chewing force and the balance of the bite are often behind it. We look at the whole bite again, not just one restoration.

My jaw clicks. Is this a dental problem?

Problems with the bite and the jaw joint can be connected to restorations, pain and repeated treatment. It is worth having the cause assessed as a whole.
