Sleep Implant Using Conscious Sedation at Hongdae Dental Clinic

Hongdae Dental Clinic Conscious Sedation

Sleep Implant Using Conscious Sedation

Due to accidents, trauma, aging, cavities, or gum disease,

it could be difficult to keep natural teeth for a long time, and

teeth could be lost because of inadequate care or the aging process.

In the case of cavities or periodontal disease that can cause severe pain,

if the condition is serious, it may not be possible to save the natural tooth

and extraction may be necessary.

When teeth are lost like this, they cannot properly perform their functions,

which can cause various inconveniences in daily life.

Therefore, if you have lost a tooth, receiving appropriate treatment at

a dental clinic located near Hongdae and restoring the function of the tooth

could help oral health.

When a tooth is lost, its original function can be weakened, and as chewing

function is not properly performed, it may become difficult to eat.

There may also be discomfort in speaking, and the gums may recede or

affect neighboring teeth, causing the alignment to become disrupted.

There were various treatments to replace missing teeth, and restorative

treatments such as implants, dentures, and bridges could be considered.

In the past, dentures that were used by attaching them to the gums were

commonly used, but they had inconveniences such as shaking due to poor

stability and a foreign-body sensation.

Because of this, implant procedures, which are among restorative treatments

and offer excellent stability and aesthetics, have recently been highly preferred.

An implant procedure is carried out by placing an artificial root, which

serves as the root of the tooth, into the alveolar bone at the site where

the tooth was lost, then placing a prosthesis and connecting it with an abutment.

Because the artificial root is firmly fixed in the alveolar bone, chewing

force can be restored, allowing patients to regain the pleasure of tasting food.

In addition, because the procedure uses a prosthesis that is similar in appearance

to a natural tooth, it can also help restore aesthetics.

The treatment period for implants can vary depending on an individual's oral

condition, implant placement site, and procedure method, and therefore it may

take from several weeks to several months.

Because it is important to establish a careful placement plan according to the

patient's oral condition, it is advisable to undergo a precise diagnosis before the procedure.

In addition, for stable implant placement, it is necessary to find a place with

experienced medical staff capable of performing precise implant procedures.

If post-procedure care is not handled properly, implants may lead to side effects

such as peri-implantitis or problems with the prosthesis.

Therefore, to extend the lifespan of implants and use artificial teeth for a long

time with reduced risk of side effects, it is necessary to find a clinic that provides

meticulous aftercare.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, dentists with PhDs in dentistry from Yonsei University

Dental School have been continuing careful implant procedures based on years of

clinical experience.

The medical staff, with extensive clinical experience, were systematically planning

treatment through thorough consultation and precise diagnosis.

In particular, to precisely analyze the patient's teeth, alveolar bone condition,

and nerve position and establish an appropriate placement plan, diagnosis was

being carried out using 3D-CT equipment.

In addition, treatment was being continued using only genuine implant materials

whose quality had been verified, and after the procedure, careful follow-up care

was being provided through an implant warranty.

However, many people hesitate to undergo implant procedures because of fear of

the procedure or the physical burden of a long treatment period.

If there is fear of bleeding or pain, or if there is physical burden, you can

receive a sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation.

A sleep implant procedure performed with conscious sedation involves administering

a midazolam ampoule to induce a drowsy sleep-like state in the patient before

starting treatment.

Treatment can be received while in a drowsy state in which the patient can breathe

spontaneously, and after regaining consciousness, they have little memory of the

treatment process, allowing for a more comfortable experience.

It could also be used for cases involving a large number of implants or high-difficulty

treatments such as bone grafting, helping reduce the burden on patients.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, patient monitoring equipment was in place to continuously

check the patient's condition and continue procedures with added safety.

In addition, because a sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation may leave

a feeling of not being fully awake after it is finished, patients were helped to rest

sufficiently in the recovery room before going home.

Conscious sedation was also applied to prosthetic treatments, wisdom tooth extraction,

and cavity treatment, in addition to implants, so various treatments could be received

in a comfortable state.

To allow patients to visit in the late evening for treatment, evening consultations

were being offered until 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday.
