Implant Reoperation: Don’t Give Up.

Hello. This is Seoulove Dental Hospital.

It is easy to think that once an implant is placed,

it can be used for a lifetime,

but in reality,

1 to 2 out of every 10 patients

experience implant reoperation.

Due to alveolar bone resorption, gum inflammation,

incorrect angulation, or occlusion problems,

issues such as pain, looseness, and food impaction

can occur over time.

Seoulove Dental Hospital precisely analyzes

these causes of failure,

and, if possible, preserves the existing implant,

performing reimplantation only when it is truly necessary. If an implant feels loose or painful,

the cause of implant failure is not simple.

• Inflammation around the implant (peri-implantitis)

• Alveolar bone (jawbone) resorption

• Occlusal imbalance (issues with the distribution of chewing force)

• Poor fit of the prosthesis

• Infection or insufficient bone at the time of surgery

These factors, over time,

decrease implant stability,

and can eventually lead to a condition that requires reoperation.

Seoulove Dental Hospital uses university-hospital-level equipment such as 3D CT and an intraoral scanner

to accurately identify the cause of failure,

then considers the most conservative method first.

Reprosthetics is not a simple replacement, but an “answer to the cause.” At Seoulove Dental Hospital, prosthetics (crowns and bridges) are not simply replaced with new ones.

We accurately find the reason the problem occurred,

and fundamentally address underlying causes such as gum inflammation, bone resorption, and occlusal problems.

Loose abutment → Reanalysis of occlusal force and remaking of custom prosthetics

Gum inflammation → Removal of inflammation and bone grafting/regenerative treatment

Prosthesis fracture → Structural analysis followed by replacement with a high-strength zirconia prosthesis

Rather than simply putting it back in,

this is a process of ensuring a design and stability that are more precise than before.

Bone grafting to sinus surgery — handled with precision

If the bone needed to place an implant is insufficient or weakened,

Seoulove Dental Hospital provides customized bone grafting solutions.

• Allograft/autograft bone grafting

• Sinus lift

• GBR (guided bone regeneration)

Using 3D CT analysis,

the grafting range and angle are planned in advance,

and the graft material is placed in the exact position

to maximize treatment stability.

This kind of precise bone grafting

increases the long-term survival rate of implants,

and reduces the likelihood of future failure caused by occlusal imbalance.

Immediate implant placement after extraction – a reasonable choice that saves time

When bone conditions are favorable,

Seoulove Dental Hospital can place an implant at the same time as the extraction.

• Same-day guide fabrication and placement possible

• Shortened recovery period

• Minimizes the need for additional bone grafting

Using precise guides and an intraoral scanner,

the implant position and angle are designed in advance,

and oral surgery and prosthodontics specialists work together

to carry out the procedure safely.

Seoulove Dental Hospital’s reoperation system

1️⃣ Problem identification and reimplantation

After removing the loose or infected implant,

immediate reimplantation or bone grafting is performed if needed

2️⃣ Treatment of peri-implantitis

The inflamed area is disinfected and cleaned, and damaged gum and bone are regenerated

3️⃣ Prosthetic restoration

Precisely restore with a new prosthesis that takes occlusion, aesthetics, and function into account
