A person’s teeth include baby teeth that fall out and permanent teeth that grow in, and because permanent teeth do not regenerate once they are damaged, careful dental care was necessary.

In addition to aging, teeth could be lost for various reasons. Teeth could also be lost if they hit a hard object or if tooth decay or periodontal disease worsened.

If tooth loss is left untreated, various problems can occur, so it was advisable to receive treatment at a dental clinic near Mangwon Station.

Because each tooth had its own role depending on its position, even losing one tooth could cause various inconveniences in daily life.

Front teeth help cut food and also aid clear pronunciation, so losing front teeth could make eating and speaking more difficult.

Molars, on the other hand, play a role in grinding food into smaller pieces, so if they are lost, food may not be properly crushed and swallowing food could lead to indigestion.

When tooth loss was left untreated, it could cause problems such as neighboring teeth leaning into the empty space or the alveolar bone being resorbed.

For this reason, when a tooth is lost, it was advisable to restore function through restorative treatments such as dentures, bridges, or implants.

In the past, dentures were often used because the treatment period was relatively short and the financial burden was lower, but dentures could come with several inconveniences.

First of all, dentures had weaker chewing force than natural teeth, and if worn for a long time, they could become loose and easily fall out.

As a result, more people have recently been seeking implant procedures that can restore chewing ability to a level similar to natural teeth while also satisfying esthetic needs.

An implant is composed of an artificial root, an abutment, and a crown. The procedure is performed by placing the artificial root into the jawbone and then placing the crown on top, connecting it through the abutment.

Because the artificial root is directly placed into the jawbone, it can achieve stability and, thanks to that, restore chewing ability so food can be eaten comfortably.

Also, the crown is made to resemble natural teeth in shape, translucency, and color, so it tends to look natural and not out of place.

Since implants are a highly difficult restorative treatment among dental procedures, various factors such as the medical team’s skill and experience, and whether post-treatment care is provided, need to be carefully checked before the procedure.

At the Mangwon Station dental clinic, the medical team from Yonsei University College of Dentistry was in charge of everything from consultation to implant procedures and aftercare.

With many years of implant clinical experience, the medical team was carrying out attentive treatment by establishing a placement plan suited to each patient’s condition.

After losing a tooth, some people need treatment but delay visiting the clinic because they feel very tense or anxious about the procedure.

For patients who had delayed treatment because of severe anxiety about dental procedures, sleep implant treatment using conscious sedation could be considered.

Conscious sedation is a method that allows patients to receive treatment comfortably in a drowsy state, and the procedure is performed while the patient can breathe independently.

Treatment was carried out in a semi-sleep state, and because patients did not remember the treatment process after regaining consciousness, comfortable treatment was possible.

Before the implant procedure, a careful diagnosis was performed using 3D-CT equipment to closely examine the condition inside the patient’s mouth.

In addition, for a safer procedure, patient monitoring equipment was in place so that the patient’s condition could be checked in real time during the procedure.

A separate recovery room was also prepared so that patients could rest comfortably after sleep implant treatment using conscious sedation before going home.

For implant procedures, only genuine implant materials with verified safety and quality were used, so patients could receive treatment with confidence.

Also, at the Mangwon Station dental clinic, an implant warranty certificate was issued after the procedure and thorough aftercare was provided, which could help reduce the risk of side effects that may occur after placement.

Even for highly difficult procedures such as multiple implant placements or bone grafting, conscious sedation could be used, reducing the burden on patients.

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

Thanks to this, if a patient had severe fear of treatment or had previously experienced local anesthesia not working well, sleep treatment using conscious sedation could be helpful.

Night service was provided every Monday and Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., so treatment could also be received late in the evening.
