Hello.

The discomfort many people experience in daily life after losing teeth is not limited to simply chewing food. It affects overall quality of life, including loss of confidence, speech problems, and indigestion.

In particular, people who use dentures often worry even more because of experiences of slipping or pain. In such situations, full-mouth implants in Gangnam can be a fundamental solution, but careful consideration is needed before deciding on treatment.

We take responsibility for your dental health.

The concept and necessity of full-mouth implants

Full-mouth implants are a treatment that restores the entire dental arch by placing artificial tooth roots when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw have been lost.

Just as a building is built on a strong foundation, implants are placed in the jawbone to create a solid base, and artificial teeth are then placed on top of it.

This is a necessary treatment for people whose jawbone has been resorbed after long-term denture use, causing dentures to slip out repeatedly or hurt, as well as for those who are facing a situation where multiple teeth must be extracted.

The features of the All-on-X treatment method

All-on-X is also called a full-arch implant and takes a different approach from conventional methods.

Instead of replacing every tooth one by one with implants, only 4 to 6 implants are placed in the upper or lower jaw to restore the entire dental arch.

Because the surgical range is smaller, the burden on the patient is reduced, and since a 3D navigation system is used to perform a mock procedure before surgery, safer and more precise surgery is possible.

A temporary prosthesis can be attached on the same day, which is a major advantage because it minimizes the time spent without teeth.

Post-treatment care after full-mouth implants in Gangnam is almost the same as for natural teeth.

Careful daily brushing and flossing are essential, and it is important to check the condition of the implants and the health of the surrounding gums through regular checkups.

The key is to prevent peri-implantitis, a condition similar to periodontal disease in natural teeth. If left untreated, inflammation can occur in the gums and bone around the implant.

Smoking interferes with blood circulation around the implant and delays healing, so quitting is recommended. Hard or chewy foods can place stress on the implant, so caution is needed.

Many people wonder whether full-mouth implants in Gangnam are possible even when there is insufficient jawbone, but with the use of 3D navigation and digital technology, full-arch implants can be performed with only 4 to 6 implants.

In some cases, by placing implants at special angles and positions, treatment may be possible without bone grafting depending on the individual’s oral condition.

Many people also worry about pain after surgery, and procedures using 3D navigation may help reduce pain.

Full-mouth implants in Gangnam are more economical than placing individual implants for every tooth, and they also have the advantage of shortening the treatment period.

In particular, full-arch implants may be more suitable for older patients who have difficulty making repeated visits.

The entire dental arch can be restored with one surgery, and they can be used comfortably without worrying about them slipping out like dentures.

The recovery period is also shorter than with conventional methods, and although it may vary from person to person, it generally takes about 30 days.
