Songpa-gu Front Tooth Implant: Is It Possible Even in an Inflamed Area?

🦷 After a front tooth extraction, even with inflammation… Is it possible?

– A successful front tooth implant case in a woman in her 60s receiving osteoporosis injections

Hello, this is Seoul Above Dental Hospital💚

Today, we’d like to introduce a somewhat challenging front tooth implant case.

After having a front tooth extracted at another dental clinic,

she visited our hospital with persistent gum swelling and pus discharge,

and on top of that, she was receiving osteoporosis injections every three months and was also taking medication for hyperlipidemia.

It was a difficult situation that required careful, step-by-step consideration of systemic health, inflammation, and aesthetic concerns.

But after safely completing the surgery at our hospital,

she is now smiling brightly with natural-looking front teeth and healthy gums 😊

👀 Appearance at the time of visit

📸 Initial consultation photo

The patient developed inflammation after extraction at another dental clinic,

and was in a state where the gums were swollen and pus was repeatedly forming.

This photo was taken in more detail. When examined visually, there was a mass of pus inside the gum,

and the diagnosis was osteomyelitis.

In other words, the inflammation was not just on the surface; it had spread into the bone.

First, we partially removed the inflammation and provided medication treatment while observing the progress.

After confirming that the inflammation deep inside had fully subsided,

we were able to place the implant in the exact position.

After confirming that the fixture (the implant root) was well positioned in the jawbone,

we fabricated a front tooth prosthesis that blended well with the natural teeth.

As requested by the patient, we completed it naturally with a slightly brighter tone,

and she was very satisfied with the result!
