Let Seok Plant Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Implants!

| 🦷 What Is an Implant? |

An implant is a treatment method in which an artificial root (titanium) is placed in the spot where a natural tooth is missing, and a prosthetic tooth is attached on top of it. It bonds firmly with the jawbone and can perform functions similar to a natural tooth.

1. ✅ What Is an Implant?

An implant is a treatment that places an artificial root (titanium) in the area where a tooth has been lost, and fixes an artificial tooth on top so it functions like the original tooth.

Because it satisfies both aesthetics and functionality, it is widely used by everyone from older adults to younger people.

2. 💡 Why You Need an Implant

• Excellent for maintaining chewing power by replacing the role of a natural tooth

• More stable than dentures and easier to maintain hygienically

• Helps prevent jawbone resorption and changes in facial shape caused by tooth loss

3. 👥 Who Is a Good Candidate for an Implant

• People who have lost teeth due to accidents or illness

• People who want a fixed prosthesis because dentures are uncomfortable

• People with missing teeth left untreated for a long period after extraction

• People who are reluctant to receive bridge treatment

4. 🛠️ Implant Surgery Process

• Detailed examination: Check bone condition with X-ray and CT scans

• First surgery: Placement of the artificial root (implant)

• Healing period: The gum bone and implant fuse over 2 to 4 months

• Second surgery and prosthetic attachment: Final completion after attaching a custom crown

5. ⚠️ Implant Precautions

• Avoid hot or hard foods immediately after the procedure

• Brush thoroughly and manage oral hygiene carefully (use a toothbrush + interdental brush + mouthwash)

• Visit the dental clinic regularly for maintenance

• Smoking and drinking interfere with recovery, so they are prohibited

6. 🧼 Implant Care

• It can be used like a regular tooth, but using dedicated oral care products is recommended

• Regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year are essential

• Use floss and interdental brushes to clean between prosthetic parts
