Full-Mouth Implants at Seokplant

Hello! Today, I’d like to talk about full-mouth implants. Teeth play an important role in our daily lives, both functionally and aesthetically, and they are closely connected to overall health. That is why it is important to take good care of your teeth and keep them healthy for a long time. However, as we get older, we may naturally lose teeth, and in some cases, many teeth may be lost due to a major accident.

If you lose many teeth, eating becomes difficult, and not being able to chew food properly can weaken the digestive system. Speech may become less clear, and changes in appearance may also lower self-confidence.

In such cases, full-mouth implant treatment can be a good solution. Full-mouth implants are a procedure in which 8 to 12 implants are placed in each of the upper and lower jaws to restore overall tooth function and aesthetics. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed to the jawbone, so they provide excellent chewing force and there is no worry about them coming loose while eating. With thorough care, they can be used for a semi-permanent period.

Of course, dentures are less expensive than implants, but they have weaker retention, so there is a risk of them coming out during use. They also have the inconvenience of needing to be remade as the jawbone gradually resorbs over time.

Full-mouth implant treatment is a highly advanced procedure, so it should be performed after carefully examining the oral structure and jawbone condition using 3D digital precision equipment. Once the artificial roots are placed and the abutments and prosthetics tailored to the oral condition are connected, the process is complete. However, because a large number of implants must be placed and advanced procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifting may be required, a precise, individualized plan is important.

Experts advised, “Post-procedure care must also be thorough. Do not force yourself to eat foods that are too hard, and be sure to brush carefully. Regular dental checkups and scaling should not be neglected either. If proper aftercare is not followed, various problems such as peri-implantitis or prosthetic fracture can occur, so you should carefully follow the guidance provided by the medical staff.”
