- Prosthetics diagnose lost ore damaged teeth, surrounding tissue and maxillofacial loss from oral jaw function persepctive to treat with artificial prosthetics.
It enables patients to recover lost masticatory function or dental esthetics to live healthier lives. When patients visit prosthetics, the clinic gives proper diagnosis and treatment plan for individual patient and provide various treatment in accordance with the condition of damaged teeth.
If the teeth lesion area is wide, it is treated with artificial teeth(partial denture, cavity) repairing teeth and tissue supporting teeth. If the lesion is local, it is treated with bridge, repairing teeth separately or with neighboring teeth, or full mouth rehabilitation that repairs teeth extensively.
Other than aforementioned cases, if there is damage on temporomandibular joint or muscle, the patient is provided with overbite treatment including splint and implant on missing tooth for various types of prosthetic treatment.

CT is an image-based diagnosis method obtaining three cross-section image or three dimensional image by permeating X-ray to body and recomposing the absorption gap using computer.
- Crowning and fixed implant
Fixed denture prosthetics are largely divided into crowning and bridge. Crowning is a procedure for endodontic treatment or cracked teeth. It removes necessary amount of tooth surface, and makes with gold alloy or porcelain. In other words, it is an artificial crown for natural tooth. As it is a fixed crown, it cannot be detached. To attach artificial crown, certain amount of teeth must be removed, and this requires to visit the hospital for two or three times to complete treatment. Bridge is used for loss of small number of teeth. When there's only small number of teeth, to recover the lost teeth, it uses neighboring teeth of extracted teeth to fix. As it can put stress on neighboring teeth, the pertinent teeth must have healthy gums. It generally requires 3~4 times of hospital visits.

- Esthetic prosthesis
- For more functional esthetic result in future prosthesis, it is a orthodontic treatment to solve abnormal set of teeth before major treatment. It corrects partial set of teeth. For optimal result, it requires close consulting between orthodontist and prosthetist from diagnosis.
- Implant prosthetics
- Implant is a method to replace the lost teeth. It is a substitute of teeth composed of root part with titanium screw and crown part with shape of tooth. In the surgery, the root is implanted on where the tooth originally was and attached with the root and bone completely and make the upper denture prosthetics for mastication.
- Partial denture
- Periodontal prosthetics
- Complete denture(resin, metal)
- maxillofacial prosthetics
