Depending on the situation

When baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth erupt, these permanent teeth

are meant to be used for a lifetime, so careful care was needed

in order to keep healthy teeth in good condition for a long time.

However, even with careful care, teeth could still be damaged due to an

unexpected accident or be lost because of aging and other reasons.

If a tooth was lost, it was best to receive treatment quickly.

If the missing tooth was left as it was, various problems could arise

and cause discomfort.

First, chewing strength, which is the force used to chew food, would decrease,

making it difficult to chew properly and potentially causing digestive problems,

as well as disrupting nutrient intake.

In addition, relying only on the side opposite the missing tooth for chewing

could place a burden on the temporomandibular joint, and it could also cause

problems such as unclear speech.

Furthermore, the lost tooth would create an empty space, and adjacent teeth could

tilt toward that space, disturbing the alignment of the teeth.

Therefore, if a tooth was lost, it was better not to leave it untreated, but to visit

Sinchon Dental Clinic to restore tooth function and replace the natural tooth.

In the past, when teeth were lost, natural tooth function was often restored through

prosthetic treatments such as dentures or bridges.

However, dentures were used by placing them on top of the gums, so during use,

they could become unstable or fall out, causing discomfort.

For that reason, implants, which can restore function to a level similar to natural

teeth and also provide esthetics, have recently been widely considered.

In the case of implants, because an artificial root is placed into the jawbone,

they can have strong fixation and can provide chewing function at a level similar

to natural teeth.

Also, since the implant procedure uses a crown that is similar in color and shape

to a natural tooth, esthetics can also be expected.

Implant procedures tended to involve a long treatment period,

and generally took about 3 to 6 months.

In particular, if bone grafting was needed because the amount of alveolar bone

was insufficient, the implant period could take longer depending on the situation.

Implants were procedures with many advantages, but because the process was

complex and highly difficult, many factors had to be carefully checked before treatment.

Since each person’s oral condition and jawbone condition were different, a precise

diagnosis had to be performed in advance, and it was important to find a clinic that

would create a careful treatment plan based on that diagnosis.

It was also good to check whether the procedure was performed by medical staff with

extensive treatment experience and whether ongoing care was provided after treatment.

At Sinchon Dental Clinic, medical staff from Yonsei University College of Dentistry

were carrying out implant procedures based on careful diagnosis.

To closely evaluate the patient’s oral structure and gum condition and establish an

appropriate treatment plan, a 3D-CT precise diagnosis was being performed.

Post-treatment care after implants was also important, as side effects such as inflammation

after the procedure or fracture of the prosthetic restoration could occur.

To reduce the risk of such side effects and help patients use their implants for a long time,

post-treatment care was provided by issuing an implant warranty certificate.

However, some people had a great fear of the implant treatment itself, so they delayed

treatment and eventually missed the proper timing for care.

If, due to fear of dental treatment, it was difficult to undergo implant surgery,

a sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation could be considered.

A sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation was a method that induced a light

sleep state in the patient, allowing them to receive the implant procedure in a relaxed state.

Unlike general anesthesia, the procedure was performed while the patient could breathe

on their own without a breathing assistance device.

Also, because there was little to no memory of the procedure after consciousness returned,

patients could receive treatment with reduced psychological anxiety.

For safer treatment, patient monitoring equipment was available so that breathing,

pulse, and the light-sleep state could be carefully observed during treatment.

In addition, for sleep implant procedures performed under conscious sedation, Sinchon

Dental Clinic had a recovery room so that patients could rest comfortably before going home.

Conscious sedation was also applied to root canal treatment, cavity treatment, prosthetic

treatment, and more, so if you had been unable to receive treatment on time because you

were afraid of the dentist, sleep treatment using conscious sedation could be considered.

To allow patients to visit late at night for treatment, evening care was provided every

Monday and Wednesday until 9 PM.
