Yeonnam-dong Dental Clinic Sleep Implant Through Conscious Sedation

Yeonnam-dong Dental Clinic Sleep Implant

Through Conscious Sedation

Due to aging, periodontal disease, cavities, or trauma caused by sudden accidents,

teeth could be lost, and when teeth are lost, various inconveniences could occur.

In some cases, people lost 1 or 2 teeth and did not feel much inconvenience,

so they left them untreated. However, if treatment was not received and the

condition was left unattended, various problems could arise, so appropriate

treatment had to be received at Yeonnam-dong Dental Clinic.

When a tooth falls out, adjacent teeth move into the empty space,

changing the angle and position of the teeth and causing discomfort.

When teeth move and the alignment changes, chewing force may decrease,

which can also limit food intake.

In addition, if tooth loss is left untreated, the alveolar bone can be lost.

The alveolar bone was maintained by receiving continuous stimulation from the

tooth roots.

When a tooth is lost, that stimulation disappears, so the alveolar bone can

be lost quickly, and it can also affect the surrounding alveolar bone.

For this reason, when a tooth falls out, appropriate restorative treatment

had to be performed. In the past, treatment was often done using dentures

and bridges.

Dentures, which are used by attaching them to adjacent teeth, had weak

retention, so they could easily move, and restoration of chewing force also

could not be greatly expected.

In the case of bridges, because the treatment involved shaving adjacent teeth

and attaching a prosthesis, more people have recently been choosing implant

treatment, which has better retention and does not damage surrounding teeth.

Implant treatment was performed by placing an artificial root into the alveolar

bone, then connecting an abutment and placing a prosthesis.

Because it was a procedure directly placed into the alveolar bone, it had strong

retention, allowing chewing force to be restored to a level similar to that of

natural teeth.

Also, because the prosthesis was made to closely resemble natural teeth in color,

shape, translucency, and other aspects, it looked quite natural.

In order to use implants for a longer period of time, several factors had to be

considered. First, it was necessary to check whether medical staff with diverse

implant clinical experience were present.

It was also necessary to check whether the clinic carefully diagnosed the amount

of alveolar bone and the patient's oral condition, and whether aftercare was

provided in detail.

If post-placement care was not handled thoroughly, the implant could become

loose or inflammation could occur around it, so it was important to check whether

aftercare was carried out carefully.

If you had lost teeth, you may have wondered how to reduce the pain and

discomfort caused by implant treatment.

If the fear felt during the procedure or the anxiety about dental treatment was

severe, there were cases where treatment was not received on time and was delayed.

Because delaying treatment could cause other problems, Yeonnam-dong Dental Clinic

was performing sleep implant treatment through conscious sedation for such patients.

Conscious sedation is a method of receiving treatment in a light-sleep state,

a state that allows spontaneous breathing, unlike general anesthesia.

Because treatment is carried out in a light-sleep state and the patient does not

remember the treatment process after regaining consciousness, treatment could be

received more comfortably.

In the case of sleep implant treatment through conscious sedation, it was also

applied to high-difficulty procedures such as multiple implant placements and

bone grafting, helping reduce the burden on patients.

In addition, since the medical staff from Yonsei University College of Dentistry

directly performed sleep implant treatment using conscious sedation, patients

could receive treatment with peace of mind.

Based on extensive implant clinical experience, they were performing implant

treatment by establishing a plan tailored to the patient through precise diagnosis.

To closely understand the different oral conditions of each patient, they were

carefully diagnosing patients using 3D-CT equipment.

They also had patient monitoring equipment, so they were carrying out sleep

implant treatment while checking the light-sleep state and the patient's vital

signs in real time.

They were also equipped with emergency equipment in preparation for any possible

emergency situation, so they could respond quickly if an emergency occurred.

Because the nearby Yeonnam-dong Dental Clinic had a recovery room, patients could

rest sufficiently after sleep implant treatment through conscious sedation.

Sleep dental treatment using conscious sedation included root canal treatment,

cavity treatment, and wisdom tooth extraction, so multiple treatments could be

received comfortably.

Therefore, if fear of treatment was severe or if receiving many treatments at

once felt burdensome, sleep treatment through conscious sedation could be helpful.

On Mondays and Wednesdays every week, treatment was provided from 9:30 a.m.

until 9:00 p.m., so patients could visit and receive care at a convenient time.
