Sinchon Dental Clinic Implant Treatment Period

Depending on the situation

Due to various causes, teeth could become loose or damaged. Commonly, inflammation, external impact, or cavities could cause teeth to become loose.

When teeth became loose, there was often a problem with the alveolar bone that supported them. If the bone was damaged and its ability to support the teeth decreased, the teeth would become loose.

Because bone had the characteristic of dissolving when inflammation developed, if inflammation occurred in the sturdy alveolar bone, it would gradually dissolve and, depending on the situation, could be lost.

Teeth could also become loose when cavities worsened. If cavities that started in the tooth affected the alveolar bone as well, extraction and treatment might be necessary.

Because teeth play an important role in our lives, if teeth were lost for the reasons above, it was best to receive appropriate treatment at Sinchon Dental Clinic.

When teeth are lost, chewing strength, which is the force used to chew food, weakens, making it difficult to eat the foods you want properly, and you may end up only looking for soft foods.

Also, if the missing tooth area was left untreated, surrounding teeth could move into the empty space, causing the alignment to become irregular, and problems with bone resorption could occur.

Therefore, even if tooth loss did not seem to cause major inconvenience, proper measures had to be taken, and it was advisable to consider restorative treatments such as dentures, implants, or bridges.

Recently, many people have considered implant procedures when they lose teeth. An implant treatment is completed by placing a fixture into the jawbone and then mounting a prosthesis on top.

Conventional dentures, which were widely used before, had weak retention, so the appliance could easily come loose while eating or talking, and they tended to move around a lot.

In the case of implants, the fixture is secured in the jawbone, so there is less movement and chewing function can be performed at a level similar to that of natural teeth, making it easier to eat.

They also offered excellent aesthetics. Since the prosthesis placed after fixture insertion was made in a shape and color similar to natural teeth, the aesthetic aspects could also be satisfied.

If there was not enough jawbone, placement could be done after bone grafting, which could lengthen the implant treatment period. The bone grafting period alone could take an additional 2 to 3 months.

In the case of implant treatment, the period could take from 3 months to more than 6 months depending on the patient's oral condition and situation, so various factors had to be carefully considered.

To use implants for a long time, it was best to have them placed properly from the start, so it was important to check whether the procedure was being performed by medical staff with extensive clinical experience.

It was also best to choose a clinic after checking whether it established a placement plan through precise diagnosis and provided careful post-treatment management after the procedure.

If you had lost a tooth and needed treatment but had delayed getting it because of a strong fear of pain, it could be helpful to consider a treatment method that reduces concerns about pain.

At Sinchon Dental Clinic, sleep implant procedures using conscious sedation were being performed for patients who had been hesitant to receive dental treatment for various reasons.

A sleep implant means treatment performed through conscious sedation. Conscious sedation was a method in which the patient was induced into a drowsy, semi-sleep state before treatment was carried out.

Unlike general anesthesia, patients could breathe on their own without a breathing assistance device, and recovery was faster than with general anesthesia, allowing treatment to be received more comfortably.

After regaining consciousness, patients did not remember the treatment process, and it could also be used for advanced procedures such as multiple implant placements and bone grafting, reducing the burden on patients.

Because the medical staff performing the conscious-sedation sleep implant procedure graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry, patients could receive treatment with confidence.

As the medical staff had handled a variety of implant cases and were carrying out procedures based on treatment plans tailored to the patient's oral condition, satisfaction could be increased.

To further improve safety, only genuine implant materials with verified quality were used, and after treatment, an implant warranty certificate was issued and customized follow-up care was provided.

At Sinchon Dental Clinic, 3D-CT equipment was used to carefully assess the bone structure and the distance to surrounding teeth in order to establish a treatment plan.

To further enhance safety during conscious-sedation sleep implant procedures, patient monitoring equipment was available, and the procedure was carried out while the patient's condition was checked in real time.

If temporary dizziness or drowsiness occurred after the sleep implant procedure, patients were instructed to rest sufficiently in the recovery room before going home.

In addition to implant procedures, sleep treatment using conscious sedation was also being applied to procedures such as root canal treatment, cavity treatment, and wisdom tooth extraction.

If you had a previous experience where local anesthesia did not work well, or if it was difficult to undergo a lot of treatment at once and keep your mouth open for a long time, considering sleep dentistry treatment could be helpful.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, evening hours were available from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., so treatment could also be received late in the day.
