Cost: Self-pay total ¥89,700 (incl. tax). Breakdown: ¥39,900 direct composite bonding + emergency consultation + night guard.

Risks & side effects

Composite resin is less durable than ceramic restorations and is more prone to chipping, staining, and wear
Future polishing, repair, or replacement of the composite is likely over time
Colour mismatch may develop as the surrounding natural tooth shade shifts
Trauma can cause delayed pulpitis or nerve injury; root canal treatment may become necessary in the future
Regular night guard use is recommended to protect the restoration from grinding and clenching forces
If the fractured area is large or unstable, a crown rather than direct composite may be required
