Mullae-dong Dental Clinic Implant Procedure
Detailed Care

As average life expectancy has increased, people have become more conscious of their health, and it is also better to take careful care of not only other parts of the body but also the teeth.
As people age, the teeth and the gums that support them are more likely to deteriorate due to aging, and tooth loss also often occurs.
Teeth perform many functions in our lives, so losing them can affect quality of life.

Teeth play an important role in eating and chewing food, and if teeth are lost, problems can arise with chewing and digesting food, which can lead to nutritional imbalance.
They can also cause aesthetic concerns. If the front teeth are lost, the empty space may become noticeable when smiling or speaking.
If a tooth loss is left untreated for a long time, the surrounding teeth may tilt into the empty space, changing the alignment of the teeth.

Not only that, but if the period of neglect becomes longer, resorption of the jawbone that supports the teeth can occur.
Therefore, when a tooth is lost, it is best not to delay and to restore function by receiving restorative treatment at a dental clinic near Mullae-dong.
In many cases, people consider implant procedures, which can be placed without affecting other teeth and can satisfy both function and aesthetics to a certain degree.

The implant procedure is carried out by placing a fixture, which acts as the root of a natural tooth, into the alveolar bone, then fabricating a tooth-shaped crown and connecting it to the fixture.
Unlike dentures, which have been commonly used in the past, implants tend to be firmly fixed, so there is less movement when chewing food or speaking.
They also blend well aesthetically with the surrounding teeth, and since the crown is made to resemble a natural tooth, it also offers a natural appearance.

The implant procedure is considered a complicated and highly difficult treatment, and because the placement position and angle must be carefully considered, it is best to look for medical staff with a wide range of experience.
It is also good to check whether a thorough diagnostic process is performed to closely assess the patient’s oral condition, which cannot be easily confirmed with the naked eye before implant placement.
It is also advisable to consider a clinic that provides delicate post-implant care, because if follow-up care is neglected, side effects such as peri-implantitis can occur.

If a natural tooth has been lost, treatment should be received in a timely manner. However, if you have had a difficult experience with dental treatment in the past, you may end up postponing treatment because of the burden.
If your fear of dental treatment is severe, it may be helpful to consider sedation treatment so that you can receive the procedure with less anxiety.
For patients with a strong fear of treatment, the Mullae-dong dental clinic was providing sleep implant procedures using conscious sedation so that treatment could be received in a comfortable state.

Unlike general anesthesia, which requires a breathing support device, conscious sedation is a state of light sleep in which spontaneous breathing is possible during treatment.
The treatment proceeded while the patient was in a comfortable, lightly asleep state, and after regaining consciousness, there was no memory of the treatment process, which helped reduce fear of the procedure.
It was also applied to high-difficulty treatments such as placing multiple implants or bone grafting, making treatment possible with less burden.

Medical staff from Yonsei University College of Dentistry were in charge of sleep implant procedures using conscious sedation, based on extensive clinical experience with implants.
The medical staff, who had experienced many cases, closely diagnosed the patient’s condition and established treatment and placement plans, and based on this, continued providing detailed care.
Only genuine implant materials with verified safety and quality were used for the procedure, and after the procedure, thorough follow-up care was provided through an implant warranty.

In order to carefully diagnose the patient’s oral condition, the Mullae-dong dental clinic used 3D-CT equipment to closely assess the bone tissue and the distance from surrounding teeth.
For a safe sleep implant procedure, patient monitoring equipment was prepared so that the patient’s condition could be checked in real time during the procedure.
If temporary drowsiness or dizziness occurred after a sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation, sufficient rest could be taken in the recovery room.

Sleep treatment using conscious sedation was applied to treatments in various areas, and not only implants but also root canal treatment and cavity treatment could be performed under sleep treatment.
If you had a past experience of local anesthesia not working well, or if receiving many treatments at once felt burdensome, it would be good to consider sleep dental treatment using conscious sedation.
To make it possible to visit in the late evening and receive treatment, evening care was being provided every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
