Hongdae Dental Clinic Implant Procedure for Proper Placement

Hongdae Dental Clinic Implant Procedure

Proper Placement

There were various reasons for tooth loss, and one of the most common was aging, when the gums became weaker due to aging and teeth could fall out.

Also, teeth could be lost because of impact from accidents or trauma, and if cavities or periodontal disease were left untreated, tooth loss could also occur.

Cavities progress through four stages, and if only the enamel, which is the outer surface of the tooth, has decayed, there is little pain, so it is difficult to detect on your own.

If treatment is not received at this stage, the decay can reach the inner dentin, and if it worsens and affects the nerve and tooth root, the tooth may need to be extracted before treatment.

In this way, teeth could be lost for various reasons, and because teeth play an important role in our lives, losing them could cause inconvenience.

Teeth are responsible for chewing, so if teeth are lost, you may not be able to chew food properly and swallow it, which can lead to problems such as indigestion.

In addition, clear pronunciation may become difficult, causing communication problems, and the overall shape of the face may change, reducing confidence in appearance.

If tooth loss is left untreated, adjacent teeth may tilt into the empty space, changing the alignment of the teeth and potentially affecting the overall skeletal structure.

Therefore, when a tooth is lost, it is best to receive appropriate treatment at a nearby Hongdae Dental Clinic to restore tooth function.

Restorative treatments that can restore tooth function after tooth loss include bridges, dentures, and implants, and recently implants have been preferred.

Implant procedures have a structure and function similar to natural teeth, and consist of an artificial root that acts as the tooth root, a prosthetic crown that acts as the tooth, and an abutment that connects the two.

The implant process is carried out by directly placing the artificial root into the jawbone, connecting the abutment, and then placing the tooth-shaped prosthetic crown.

When the artificial root is placed into the jawbone, osseointegration occurs between the jawbone tissue and the artificial root, and through this process the implant becomes firmly fixed.

Thanks to the firmly fixed implant, biting force can be restored to a level similar to that of natural teeth, and there are fewer cases of the device wobbling or causing discomfort.

Also, because the prosthetic used in the implant procedure is made to be similar to natural teeth, it tends to look less unnatural aesthetically.

When placing an implant in the space where a tooth has fallen out, it must be inserted while determining the correct position, direction, and angle. If it is not placed properly, the implant’s stability may decrease.

Therefore, before placement, it is necessary to carefully diagnose the patient’s dental condition and the amount of jawbone, and check whether the clinic is establishing a treatment plan suitable for the patient.

It is also important to check whether experienced medical staff are on site and whether follow-up care is being carried out carefully before making a choice.

If post-placement care is not performed carefully, problems such as inflammation or loosening of the implant screw, which can lead to the implant falling out, may occur.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, the medical staff, who graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry, are responsible for implant procedures and aftercare based on extensive clinical experience.

Because the materials are used inside the oral cavity, only genuine implant materials with verified safety and quality are used for the procedure.

In addition, after the procedure, an implant warranty certificate is issued, and careful patient-specific aftercare is provided even after treatment to help implants be used for a long time.

There are cases where people need dental treatment but postpone their visit because they are very afraid of treatment.

For patients with severe dental phobia or those who need multiple implants, sleep implant procedures using conscious sedation are available.

Conscious sedation is a method in which the patient is guided into a light sleep state in which they can breathe on their own, and then treatment is performed, allowing them to receive care comfortably.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, 3D-CT is used to carefully assess the patient’s bone tissue and the distance to surrounding teeth when establishing a treatment plan.

To enhance safety, implant procedures were performed while real-time monitoring of the light sleep state, blood pressure, and other conditions was carried out through patient monitoring equipment.

Also, after sleep implant treatment using conscious sedation, if there is drowsiness, patients can rest comfortably in the recovery room before going home.

Sleep treatment using conscious sedation includes root canal treatment, cavity treatment, and wisdom tooth extraction, so patients can receive care in various areas comfortably.

Appointments are available every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., so you can visit in the evening for treatment.
