Precision Treatment with Minimal Shaving
About Direct Bonding
Direct bonding (aesthetic direct composite resin restoration) is a treatment method where various types of aesthetic restoration plastics are directly applied in the mouth to restore the beautiful color and original shape of natural teeth.
At our clinic, we select and layer multiple types of plastics from about ten different types with varying colors and transparency to match each tooth. This method allows us to recreate natural teeth, which was difficult with conventional insurance-covered treatments. Direct bonding treatment can beautifully repair gaps in front teeth, discolored fillings, and chipped teeth.
Treatment Objectives
The objectives of direct bonding are numerous.
- Fill gaps in front teeth

Equipment Used at Our Clinic
At our clinic, we actively use various latest medical equipment to provide more precise treatment to our patients.
Microscope
Rubber Dam
Others
Micro spatula, brush, short needle, etc.
Until Treatment is Completed
Depending on the case, it takes about one to one and a half hours per tooth.
Basically, rubber dam isolation is performed, and treatment is done under a microscope, so it takes a little longer, but the precision is very high, and the quality is excellent.
About Pain During Treatment
Basically, anesthesia is performed, so there is no pain. Even when administering anesthesia, preliminary anesthesia is performed first, so there is little pain during anesthesia. If you feel pain, additional anesthesia will be administered, so please do not hesitate to let us know.
Cases Where Treatment Cannot Be Performed
There are cases where treatment cannot be performed depending on the situation.
For example, cases with too large defects, heavily discolored teeth, or locations where too much force is applied are not suitable.
Also, repairs in places where instruments are difficult to reach may not be possible.
