Hello. When it comes to implants,

Seokplant Dental Hospital.

For those who are hesitating about implants,

I would like to briefly explain the implant surgery process.

The implant surgery process generally goes through

the following steps.

1. Initial diagnosis and planning

First, when you visit the dental clinic, we check the condition of your teeth through imaging and determine whether implants are possible and whether there is enough bone available.

After that, a treatment plan is made, and the location and number of implants needed are decided. Depending on the case, additional procedures such as bone grafting may also be necessary.

2. Implant surgery

On the day of implant surgery, you visit the hospital and the area to be treated is anesthetized before the procedure begins. Typically, placing one implant takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

However, this can vary depending on the patient's dental condition and whether additional procedures are needed.

3. Osseointegration process

A period of osseointegration is needed, during which the implant bonds with the jawbone. During this process, the implant becomes firmly fixed to the bone.

During this period, you should eat soft foods and pay attention to oral hygiene.

4. Abutment connection

Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment (the part that connects the implant and the artificial tooth) is attached to the implant. After the abutment is attached, you wait several weeks for the gums to heal again.

5. Final prosthesis placement

After the gums have fully healed, a custom prosthesis (zirconia) is placed on the abutment. This prosthesis functions like a natural tooth and also looks similar, so many patients choose it.

6. Aftercare

You can return to daily life immediately after implant surgery. However, if additional procedures such as bone grafting were performed, a few days of rest may be needed.

Even after implant surgery is successfully completed, regular checkups and daily oral hygiene management are very important. You should think of an implant the same way as a natural tooth, and it requires thorough brushing and care using auxiliary tools such as floss and interdental brushes.

Additional tips

The success rate of implants is over 95%, but it can vary depending on the patient’s health, oral hygiene condition, regular checkups, and daily care habits.

Some patients use implants for a semi-permanent period, but if you do not take good care of them through brushing and similar habits, inflammation can develop in the gums just as with natural teeth, and the prognosis may be poor.

In other words, even after implant surgery, please think of the implant the same way as a natural tooth and continue diligent oral care using thorough brushing and auxiliary tools such as floss and interdental brushes.
