Jamsil Dental Hospital Implant Price and Treatment Case

Hello!

This is Seoul Oven Dental Hospital.

Today, we will introduce a surgical case of a left lower molar implant.

The patient wanted treatment because the area that had been left untreated after a tooth extraction long ago was causing difficulty with chewing.

At the first visit

The lower left molar

was extracted a long time ago,

and lately I’ve been chewing only on the other side,

so my jaw feels uncomfortable too.

The patient visited with the chief complaint that “the lower left molar was extracted a long time ago, and lately I’ve been chewing only on the other side, so my jaw feels uncomfortable.”

Because the tooth had been missing for a long time, the bite was unbalanced on both sides, and the patient said food often got stuck and the gums felt uncomfortable.

Diagnosis results

According to the panoramic X-ray,

the lower left molar had already been extracted,

and the surrounding bone condition was good,

so implant placement was confirmed to be possible without additional bone grafting.

Treatment plan

Treatment period: June 20, 2025 ~ October 5, 2025

(about 3.5 months)

① CT scan and surgical planning

– The implant position, angle, and length were planned in detail.

② Implant placement surgery

– Under local anesthesia, an implant was placed in the lower left molar area.

– Since the bone and gum condition were healthy, no additional bone grafting was necessary.

③ Healing period (about 2 months)

– A stable healing period was allowed so that the implant could firmly integrate with the bone.

– At regular visits, oral hygiene and gum condition were checked.

④ Prosthesis (crown) fabrication and placement

– In the in-house dental lab, a zirconia crown was made in a color and shape that matched the surrounding teeth.

– After the final placement, the bite was adjusted to complete the treatment so that chewing would be comfortable.

Treatment results

I can chew evenly on both sides,

so my jaw feels much more comfortable.

After the procedure, the patient expressed satisfaction, saying, “I can chew evenly on both sides, so my jaw feels much more comfortable.”

A naturally shaped crown was also placed aesthetically,

so it was not noticeable at all to people around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q2. How long can a molar implant be used?

👉 With proper care and regular checkups, it can be used long-term for 10 years or more.

If a tooth is extracted and then left untreated, as in this patient’s case,

chewing imbalance, gum disease, and excessive load on the opposing teeth can occur. Implants can prevent these problems and

are the most reliable way to restore function similar to natural teeth.
