Hello,
I am Dr. Yeo Sang-ho of Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic, where we create beauty on a foundation of good health.

During consultations, I often hear comments like these:
“Doctor, I know I need implants, but I have been too scared to come in for several years.”

In fact, the biggest reason many people postpone implant treatment is not pain, but their “fear of the dentist.”
Some people become tense just hearing the sound of dental equipment, feel afraid of anesthesia, or find it difficult to endure a lengthy treatment, and ultimately give up on treatment altogether.
I would like to introduce the story of a patient who kept postponing treatment because of dental phobia, but was able to receive comfortable treatment through conscious sedation (sleep) implants.
The patient was in their 50s.
They had been told several times over the years that implants were necessary, but simply thinking about going to the dentist caused their heart to race and made them extremely tense, so they continued to postpone treatment.
Eating was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, but they said they spent their time thinking, “Let’s just hold out a little longer.”
Then, after being informed that their remaining teeth could also be affected, they decided they could no longer delay treatment and visited Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic.
During the consultation, the first thing they said was:
“Things that frighten me are harder to deal with than the treatment itself.”

During consultations, there is one question we hear most often:
“Will I be under general anesthesia?”
Magok Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic Conscious Sedation Implants
No.
The conscious sedation sleep implants performed at Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic are different from conventional general anesthesia.
This is a sedation method intended to reduce the patient’s tension and anxiety and help them receive treatment in a more comfortable state.
Because treatment proceeds while maintaining a state in which the patient can respond to the medical team’s instructions, the concept is different from general anesthesia.
When this is explained thoroughly, most patients visibly relax.

This patient also said that the tension before treatment began was more difficult than the pain itself.
They said that from the moment they sat in the dental chair, their body would tense up, their hands would become sweaty, and their heart would beat rapidly.
Because conscious sedation can help reduce this psychological burden, it may be considered as one treatment option for patients with dental phobia.

This patient did not need just one implant.
Because an extraction and additional treatment also had to be planned, the treatment could take a relatively long time.
In such cases, it is important to accurately assess the patient’s current health and the scope of treatment before establishing the most appropriate treatment plan.
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic does not recommend conscious sedation unconditionally. We thoroughly assess each patient’s condition and decide whether to use it only when appropriate.

Although comfort is important during conscious sedation treatment, safety is even more important.
Therefore, during the consultation process, we carefully check:
Current medications
Systemic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes
Allergy history
Previous surgeries and anesthesia experiences
Patients sometimes ask, “Why do you need to ask so many detailed questions?”
However, this is an essential process for safe treatment.

Once treatment begins, it is not only the implant procedure that matters.
Throughout treatment, we continuously check:
Blood pressure
Pulse
Oxygen saturation
and monitor the patient’s condition.
It is important for the patient to receive treatment comfortably, but treatment must first proceed safely.

If you are considering conscious sedation implants, it is important to check first whether a system is in place to provide safe treatment, rather than focusing only on the cost or whether sedation will be used.
Before treatment, Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic conducts a thorough medical history review and examination to carefully check current medications, systemic conditions, allergies, and past medical history, and establishes a treatment plan suited to the patient’s health.
After treatment begins, we continue to monitor the patient’s condition. In addition to basic vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation, we use a Bluetooth stethoscope to check breathing in real time and monitor the patient so that even small changes are not overlooked.
The ability to continuously check the patient’s breathing is one of the safety-management systems considered important at Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic.
We also have emergency medical equipment available for a rapid response to emergencies, and all staff members have completed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, ensuring that we are prepared to respond systematically to unexpected situations.

CCTV is operated in the surgical room to improve the safety and transparency of the treatment process.
After treatment, patients are instructed to return home only after having sufficient recovery time.
They are also given detailed guidance on the precautions to take that day and the recovery process.
Conscious sedation treatment is not simply intended to make treatment comfortable.
Comfort only has meaning when it is supported by a thorough safety system.
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic considers creating an environment where patients can receive treatment with confidence to be of utmost importance.

After conscious sedation treatment, patients return home only after allowing sufficient time for recovery.
They are also given detailed instructions for the day of treatment, including:
Do not drive yourself
Avoid important work or signing contracts
Return home with a caregiver

This was the comment most often made by patients after treatment:
“It was much more comfortable than I expected.”

“I shouldn’t have put it off for several years.”

I also feel regret whenever I hear these words.
This is because dental conditions may continue to worsen while treatment is postponed due to dental fear.
I have seen many cases where treatment could have been completed more simply if it had started just a little earlier.

Conscious sedation sleep implants are not a treatment that is suitable for every patient.
Whether they are appropriate must be determined after comprehensively considering the patient’s current health, systemic conditions, and the scope of treatment.
However, if you have continued to postpone treatment because of fear of the dentist, I recommend having a consultation first rather than worrying about it alone.
Yonsei Wish Dental Clinic believes that creating an environment where patients can feel less afraid and receive treatment comfortably is just as important as simply placing implants.
If you have been postponing treatment because you are afraid of the dentist, please do not continue to endure it alone. Begin with a comfortable consultation.
