Mullae Station Dental Clinic Conscious Sedation

Sleep Implant Using

Healthy teeth have long been considered one of the five blessings, and healthy teeth have been important for maintaining quality of life.

Teeth play a role in breaking food down into smaller pieces through chewing, helping the digestive process and making clear pronunciation possible.

However, due to causes such as aging, periodontal disease, or trauma, teeth can sometimes become damaged or lost.

When teeth are lost for various reasons, it is important to restore dental function through restorative treatment at Mullae Station Dental Clinic.

If a tooth is lost, various inconveniences can arise. First, chewing ability may decrease, making it difficult to eat, and there may also be problems with digestion.

In addition, clear pronunciation may become difficult, causing communication problems, and if a front tooth is lost, aesthetic issues may also follow.

If tooth loss is left untreated, the surrounding teeth may move into the empty space, leading to problems such as misaligned teeth.

Because tooth loss can greatly affect quality of life in this way, if a tooth falls out, treatment should be received in time to replace the natural tooth.

Treatment options for replacing a lost tooth include bridges, dentures, and implants, and recently, implants have been considered more often.

In the past, dentures were widely used. Dentures had the advantage of reducing the financial burden, but they had problems such as weak biting force and easy dislodgement.

For that reason, implants are now often considered because treatment is carried out by directly placing a fixture into the alveolar bone, resulting in strong fixation.

Because implants are firmly fixed without much movement after the procedure, chewing ability can be restored to a level similar to that of natural teeth.

In addition, because the procedure uses a crown with a color and shape similar to natural teeth, aesthetic concerns can also be improved.

However, since implants are placed directly into the alveolar bone, if the condition of the alveolar bone is poor or the amount is insufficient, placement may become difficult.

Therefore, before implant placement, it is important to carefully assess the amount and condition of the alveolar bone, as well as the condition of the teeth, through a precise diagnosis before treatment.

If the alveolar bone is insufficient, implant treatment may be performed after bone grafting, but in such cases, the treatment period may become longer.

To apply the appropriate method according to the patient’s oral structure and gum condition, it is better to find a medical team with diverse experience.

At the dental clinic near Mullae Station, the medical team, including a graduate of Yonsei University College of Dentistry and a Doctor of Dental Medicine, handles consultations, implant treatment, and aftercare.

The medical team, with extensive clinical experience in implants, provides careful treatment through sufficient consultation and thorough examinations before treatment.

In particular, to closely assess the patient’s teeth, alveolar bone condition, and nerve location, a precise diagnosis is being performed using 3D-CT equipment.

In addition, to help patients use artificial teeth for a long period after implant placement, a warranty certificate for the implant is issued to support aftercare.

However, when receiving implant treatment, some people hesitate or delay treatment because they worry that the pain may be severe.

If fear of treatment has been the main reason for delaying care, you may consider a sleep implant procedure using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation is a method in which treatment is performed in a lightly asleep state, where the patient can breathe on their own and respond to the medical team’s instructions.

Unlike general anesthesia, patients can breathe spontaneously without a breathing assistance device, and recovery is faster than with general anesthesia, allowing treatment to be received with peace of mind.

Conscious sedation is also applied to treatments such as prosthetic treatment, wisdom tooth extraction, and cavity treatment, so various treatments can be received more comfortably.

Therefore, if you usually have a strong fear of dental treatment or treatment is difficult because of a gag reflex, you may consider sleep treatment with conscious sedation.

At the Mullae Station dental clinic, equipment is in place to monitor the patient’s breathing, pulse, and other conditions in real time during treatment, adding stability to the procedure.

If a slight drowsy feeling remains after treatment, you will be guided to move to the recovery room and rest 충분히 before going home.

To allow visits and treatment in the late evening, night consultations are available every Monday and Wednesday until 9:00 PM.
