Comprehensive Dental Care – Cavities · Gum · Full Oral Health
COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL CARE
This treatment approach focuses on the systematic management of overall oral health, prioritizing long-term stability.
We design the entire oral environment as one continuous flow.
Cavity TreatmentThat Is Minimally Invasive
Treatment methods for cavities vary depending on the stage of progression. We approach it not from the perspective of "how large the treatment should be," but rather "to what extent we can preserve the tooth."Treatment methods for cavities vary depending on the stage of progression.

CAVITY TREATMENT
Cavity Treatment: What steps are necessary at each stage?
Cavities generally progress from the enamel to the dentin and then to the pulp. The scope of treatment and available options vary depending on the degree of progression.
Stage 1
Early Cavity (Enamel Stage)
A stage that can be managed with no tooth reduction or minimal preparation
What is the condition of a Stage 1 cavity?
It is a state where decay is localized to the enamel, the outermost layer of the tooth.
There is almost no pain, so it often goes unnoticed.
If discovered at this stage, it can be managed with no tooth reduction or minimal preparation.

TU Dental’s Core Principle for Cavity Treatment
Treatment is not performed all at once; the principle is to proceed progressively according to each stage.

The process may lead from resin to inlays, and if necessary, to root canals and crowns—but every step is taken in order to save the natural tooth. Implants are always the final option.

Periodontal Treatmentthat Determines the Lifespanof Your TeethPeriodontal Treatmentthat Preserves Natural TeethAs Much As Possible
Gum disease is often discovered after it has already progressed significantly, rather than when pain is first felt.
TU Dental Clinic views gum disease not as a simple inflammation issue, but as a foundational issue that determines the lifespan of the teeth.
We perform only the necessary treatments tailored to each stage,
establish a direction that preserves the gums and teeth as much as possible,
and develop a plan that includes post-treatment maintenance and management.Gum disease is often discovered after it has already progressed significantly, rather than when pain is first felt.

STAGE 01
Gingivitis
Early inflammation stage reversible with scaling
What is the condition of stage 1 gum disease?
This is a state of inflammation confined to the gums, where bleeding during brushing, gum swelling, or bad breath may occur.
As an early stage where inflammation exists only in the gums, there is almost no damage to the gum bone,
and full recovery is possible through scaling and proper oral care.
TU Dental Clinic’s Treatment Approach
Scaling
A fundamental treatment that removes plaque and tartar attached to the tooth surfaces and gum line.
Elimination of inflammation causes
Induction of gum recovery
Prevention of disease progression
The Core of Post-Gum Treatment
The maintenance and management of gum disease are more critical than the treatment itself. Because gums are not tissues that stay healthy after a single round of care, consistent management is what ultimately determines the lifespan of your teeth.
The perfection of aesthetics begins with an invisible balance. MARTH spa is a high-end oral spa program that incorporates ART in MOUTH—the core philosophy of the TU MARTH edition—into professional gum care.

MARTH spa
High-End Oral Spa Care for Your Gums
MARTH spa views gums not merely as a subject of clinical treatment, but as the essential foundation that sustains true beauty.
WHEN / WHY
When and why is it needed?
MARTH spa is not a reactive treatment designed to fix problems after they arise. It is a specialized management program focused on restoring the gums' natural condition and regaining their inherent balance without the use of excessive irritation.
MARTH spa is considered if:
You want to manage
both gum health and aesthetics simultaneously.
You are looking for sophisticated gum care
that goes beyond a standard scaling.
You want to stabilize your gum condition
before beginning other dental treatments.
You desire a high-end management experience
rather than just a simple clinical procedure.
HOW
How does it work?
MARTH spa is more than just removing tartar; it is a curated process designed to refine the entire gum environment. While it is a complete and sophisticated program on its own, it elevates the final results of aesthetic treatments when performed in tandem.
MARTH spa is considered if:
You require a thorough and precise assessment of your current gum health.
You seek gentle treatment that minimizes unnecessary irritation.
You want a management plan designed to achieve harmony between your gums and teeth.
You need a comprehensive maintenance guide after treatment.
Every process is conducted within refined spaces and flows that adhere to the rigorous standards of the TU MARTH edition, aiming for sustainable beauty rather than just immediate changes.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Starting with Precise Judgment
At TU Dental Clinic, we do not view wisdom teeth as "teeth that shouldn't be there." A wisdom tooth is not a tooth that must be extracted in every single case.However, depending on their position, orientation, and relationship with surrounding teeth, wisdom teeth can become a source of recurring inflammation or a long-term risk factor.
At TU Dental Clinic, we begin with a precise judgment to determine whether extraction is truly necessary.However, depending on their position, orientation, and relationship with surrounding teeth, wisdom teeth can become a source of recurring inflammation or a long-term risk factor.

How It WorksWisdom Tooth Extraction at TU Dental: Our Approach
01
Careful Judgment on Whether Extraction is Necessary
We do not unconditionally recommend extraction. We evaluate both the potential for preservation and future risk factors.
02
Approach Based on Precise Diagnosis
X-ray and CT imaging Distance analysis between the wisdom tooth and the nerve canal Evaluation of root morphology and extraction difficulty Establishing a customized plan based on the level of difficulty
03
Step-by-Step, Safety-Oriented Extraction
A systematic approach ranging from simple extractions to impacted wisdom teeth Minimizing unnecessary tissue damage Extraction planning designed for optimal recovery
When Wisdom Teeth Extraction is Necessary
If you are experiencing the situations below, you may consider wisdom teeth extraction. The criteria for removal include recurring pain or inflammation, damage to adjacent teeth, impact on future treatments (orthodontics, prosthetics, or implants), and difficulties with long-term hygiene management.
Recurring gum inflammation or persistent pain
Cases causing cavities or gum damage to adjacent teeth
When it impacts future orthodontic, prosthetic, or implant treatments
When long-term hygiene management is deemed difficult

LASER TREATMENT
When is Laser Treatment Necessary?
During the process of removing existing laminates and performing ZERONATE re-treatment, lasers are utilized depending on the condition to reduce the burden on the teeth during prosthetic removal and to prioritize the preservation of natural teeth as much as possible.
Conservative Approach to Minimize Tooth Damage
The transition from removing existing laminates to re-treatment is a critical phase. Using lasers helps reduce damage to natural teeth, allowing for a ZERONATE re-treatment plan built on the foundation of preservation.
Preserving Natural Teeth While Restoring Perfection
The core of replacing prosthetics lies in preserving the natural teeth during the removal process. We utilize lasers to reduce the burden on the teeth, ensuring the procedure focuses on protecting as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
When Laser Therapy is Helpful
Laser therapy is particularly effective when delicate procedures are required, such as replacing existing laminates, or when the goal is to minimize tooth damage and reduce the overall burden of recovery.
When considering the replacement of existing laminates
When minimizing tooth damage is a top priority
When seeking more sophisticated treatment of the gum line and soft tissues
When considering approaches that reduce the burden of recovery
