Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic: Implant Placement Through Careful Diagnosis

Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic Implant Placement

Through Careful Diagnosis

Maintaining healthy teeth is important in life, and because teeth perform a variety of functions, careful daily care is essential.

Teeth carry out the chewing function of breaking down food into smaller pieces, and they also play an important aesthetic role in appearance.

When baby teeth fall out and permanent teeth erupt, if those permanent teeth are lost, they do not regenerate naturally, so keeping teeth strong for a long time is not easy.

Natural teeth can be lost at any time due to severe cavities, periodontal disease, sudden accidents, aging, and other causes.

If it is difficult to preserve a natural tooth, receiving restorative treatment at the Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic to recover tooth function can be helpful.

When a tooth is lost, it can also negatively affect other teeth. First, surrounding teeth may shift into the empty space, disrupting the alignment.

In addition, as the stimulus transmitted from the tooth disappears, the alveolar bone may gradually be lost, and the gums may weaken, making later treatment more complicated.

Moreover, if multiple teeth are lost, chewing ability declines, which can make eating difficult, and aesthetic problems may also arise.

Because tooth loss can lead not only to a lack of function but also to aesthetic problems and oral health issues, treatment should be received in a timely manner.

When natural teeth are lost, implants have recently been widely considered among various treatment options as a replacement that is similar to natural teeth in both function and appearance.

Implant treatment fixes an artificial tooth to the jawbone, and compared with traditional dentures, it tends to have less movement and a firmer fixation.

If osseointegration between the jawbone and the artificial root is successful, strong stability can be secured, allowing chewing force to be used at a level nearly similar to that of natural teeth.

In addition, because the prosthetic placed after the artificial root is inserted is almost the same as natural teeth in color and shape, the aesthetic aspect can also be improved.

However, if implant placement is performed without properly considering the patient's oral condition, problems such as breakage after only a short period of use may occur.

Therefore, before placing an artificial tooth, it is important to carefully examine the patient’s individual tooth and gum condition and establish a treatment plan appropriate for that person.

If there is insufficient jawbone, the artificial root may not be properly supported, which can cause problems, so implant placement can be performed after bone grafting.

At the Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic, treatment is carried out after carefully diagnosing patients’ gum condition, the position of nearby teeth, and the location of nerves using 3D-CT equipment.

To continue treatment with added safety, it is also important to check whether medical staff with extensive clinical experience in implant procedures are present.

At the dental clinic near Mapo-gu Office Station, the implant procedure is performed by doctors from Yonsei University College of Dentistry with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.

To provide results with greater satisfaction, treatment is carried out after fully understanding each patient’s oral condition and overall health condition before proceeding.

In addition, because the materials must be used in the mouth for a long time, only genuine implant materials are used.

Furthermore, at the Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic, an implant warranty certificate is issued after implant placement to help with follow-up care so that the artificial tooth can be used healthily for a long time.

However, if a patient has a strong fear of treatment due to pain experienced at a dental clinic in childhood or unpleasant treatment experiences, they may hesitate to proceed.

If treatment is delayed, the treatment process can become more complicated, so in such cases, sedation implant treatment using conscious sedation can be considered.

Sedation implant treatment performed with conscious sedation is a method that induces a lightly asleep-like state in the patient, leaving consciousness intact while making them remember little to none of the pain or discomfort.

Because the patient can still respond to external stimuli to some degree, simple communication with the medical staff is possible during the procedure, and treatment is performed while the patient is able to breathe independently.

In addition, because the patient remembers little of the procedure afterward, it can also help reduce fear of future dental visits.

At the Mapo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic, monitoring equipment is in place to continuously check the patient's blood pressure and heart rate during the procedure so that emergency situations can be responded to quickly.

Also, if there is lingering drowsiness after conscious sedation treatment, patients can move to a separate recovery room and rest comfortably before going home.

To make it possible for patients to visit in the evening for treatment, evening care is provided every Monday and Wednesday until 9 p.m.
