If You Want Your Implant to Last a Lifetime, Start by Looking at ‘This’

〈Written by a Doctor〉

Hello.

I’m Kim Mu-jin, CEO and head doctor of D-Day Dental Clinic, which aims for treatments with less pain.

Have you ever received an implant consultation and then gone home to stand in front of the mirror?

You slightly open your mouth and stare at the missing spot for a long time, thinking, ‘So they really are going to put a screw in here...’ and there’s a moment when you just go blank.

Fear of the procedure itself is one thing, but there’s something even more frightening than that.

That once it’s placed, it’s difficult to reverse,

and that when you search online, there are so many reviews saying some people use theirs for life while others had to remove theirs again after just 5 years.

Since the price ranges widely from the 1 million won range to the 5 million won range,

a lot of people understandably feel lost about what criteria they should use.

I hope this post can serve as one last check before you decide on an implant.

1. If it’s the same implant, why does one last a lifetime, while another lasts only 5 years?

“Are all implants basically the same?”

I get this question very often in the clinic.

To be honest, when it comes to the implant itself, there are many cases where there isn’t a huge difference.

The brands are eventually narrowed down to a few proven ones anyway.

But even when the same implant is placed,

there are clearly cases where

one person uses it for 20 years, while another has to have it removed again after just 5 years.

That difference is not about the implant itself, but about everything that happens before and after placement.

An implant is similar to building a house.

More than putting up a great pillar, the process of compacting the ground underneath and setting the foundation is what ultimately determines how long the house will last.

• Accurate diagnosis of bone condition
• Pre-treatment to first control gum inflammation
• Precise placement that matches the person’s bite
• Ongoing care after surgery

Dogok-dong Dentist All of these steps together determine the lifelong durability of the implant.

2. If you want it to last a lifetime, look at ‘this’ from the start

Before deciding on an implant, there is one thing you absolutely need to check.

Is the same doctor responsible from the first consultation through surgery and aftercare?

Why is that so important?

Dogok-dong Dentist

Because an implant is not over once it is placed.

To be able to make accurate judgments when a small sign appears one year or five years later, you need to have all the data from the first diagnosis — the condition of the gums, the thickness of the bone, and the person’s chewing habits.

If the consultation is done by one coordinator, the surgery by a different doctor, and the aftercare in yet another place, that data becomes scattered.

The patient has to explain their condition from scratch every time, and in the process, small changes can be missed.

That’s why I always ask people coming in for an implant consultation one thing.

At the other clinic you’re going to now, does the person who first consulted with you also perform the surgery themselves, and see you at the one-year checkup as well?

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the lifelong durability of the implant depends on this one question.

3. Why D-Day Dental Clinic in Dogok-dong looks at implants carefully

I am very cautious about recommending implants.

There are many cases where I tell first-time visitors, “For now, saving the natural tooth comes first.”

Even if an artificial prosthesis is excellent, I confirm again and again through seeing 10,000 patients that it cannot replace a natural tooth with a high probability.

Once surgery is decided on, I also pay a great deal of attention to pain management.

My treatment principle is to finish as much as possible on the same day with procedures that may cause pain on the first day, and then send the patient home.

That way, from the next visit onward, you can focus only on recovery.

If anesthesia is administered slowly,

the gums gradually adapt,

so the procedure can be done with almost no sensation.

Rather than injecting it all at once,

taking enough time may seem minor,

but the difference patients feel is quite significant.

If I summarize what I said today in one line, it is this.

An implant is determined by the process, not the product.

I hope that the moment you first stood in front of the mirror and looked blankly at the missing space can become the starting point for making a good decision.

What you need for that is not flashy advertising, but calm care from the same person from beginning to end.

Since it is difficult to reverse once it has been placed, I hope you will think it through carefully and make your decision.

Treatment that is painless and makes sense.

We will wait while keeping that promise.

Thank you for reading this long post.
