Strong as Natural Teeth! From the Implant Placement Process to Health Insurance, All at Once!

| 🦷 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 has been lost, and a prosthetic tooth is attached on top. It bonds firmly with the jawbone and can perform functions similar to those of a natural tooth.

🦷 Strong as Natural Teeth!

Implant treatment feels more reassuring when you understand it

When a tooth is lost, implants are one of the representative treatment options chosen for smiling naturally and eating comfortably.

But many people still wonder, "Will it hurt?", "How much will it cost?", and "Where can I find a trustworthy clinic?"

Today, we’ll kindly guide you through everything from the implant placement process to health insurance benefits, how to choose genuine products, and tips for finding a clinic without excessive treatment 😊

🔍 How does implant placement proceed?

1️⃣ Detailed diagnosis and consultation

A 3D CT scan is used to examine the condition of the gum bone and the position of the nerves,

and a patient-specific surgical plan is established.

2️⃣ Implant placement surgery

After local anesthesia, the artificial root (implant fixture) is placed into the jawbone,

and the procedure takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3️⃣ Osseointegration period (2–3 months)

This is the recovery period during which the bone and the artificial root firmly fuse together.

At this time, some cases use a temporary tooth, so discomfort is minimal.

4️⃣ Prosthetic connection (zirconia available)

The abutment and prosthetic tooth are connected to complete the treatment.

Zirconia prosthetics have colors and translucency similar to natural teeth,

so you can expect satisfying aesthetic results as well ✨

💰 Reduce the burden with health insurance coverage

If you are 65 years of age or older,

✅ up to 2 implants in a lifetime

✅ can be covered by health insurance.

• The tooth must be completely missing

• You must receive treatment at a dental clinic eligible for insurance coverage

🚫 Excessive treatment? NO!

Criteria for choosing an honest clinic

Because implants are an expensive procedure,

caution is needed as some cases involve unnecessarily placing too many implants or making excessive diagnoses.

💡 What are the characteristics of a trustworthy clinic?

✔️ Explains whether preservation is possible depending on the tooth condition

✔️ Provides sufficient consultation and photo materials

✔️ Has transparent information about whether genuine products are used and how the treatment proceeds

✔️ Presents a customized treatment plan rather than simply increasing the number of implants

✅ Final tip

An implant is not just a replacement for a tooth,

but a choice for a healthy and comfortable life.

🙌 Honest treatment,

🦷 trustworthy materials,

👨‍⚕️ and a patient-specific plan

can greatly improve quality of life after implant treatment!
