Shinchon Dental Implant Placement

Careful aftercare even after implantation

Teeth are one of the body parts that perform a variety of roles in daily life, including chewing, clear speech, and aesthetic function.

As people naturally age, it becomes harder to maintain oral health over a long period due to aging, and teeth can be lost.

Not only aging, but also unavoidable causes such as periodontal disease, traffic accidents, and trauma can lead to the loss of natural teeth.

Because teeth are body tissues that do not regenerate once damaged or lost, it is important to receive restorative treatment as soon as possible.

If a missing tooth is left untreated for a long time, adjacent teeth may gradually tilt into the empty space, disrupting the alignment of the teeth, and it can also lead to loss of the jawbone.

In addition, chewing function that helps with eating may decline, causing discomfort and possibly leading to indigestion.

Therefore, before various problems arise, it is best to quickly replace the function of the natural tooth with an appropriate treatment method at Shinchon Dental.

Recently, restoring the role of natural teeth through implant placement is often considered a procedure mainly received by older adults.

However, cases of tooth loss at a younger age due to various causes are also increasing, so implant placement is being used as a replacement method for restoration.

An implant is a method in which an artificial root that can replace the tooth root is placed in the jawbone where the tooth has been lost, and then a prosthetic tooth is securely fixed.

Because it offers strong fixation and can also restore the aesthetic aspect with an appearance similar to natural teeth, it is preferred regardless of age.

In addition, if careful aftercare is carried out even after implant placement, it can be maintained for a longer period, which is one of its many advantages.

However, because the procedure is a complex and highly skilled treatment, it is important to choose a dental clinic with medical staff who have extensive clinical experience.

At Shinchon Dental, implant placement is performed by medical staff with degrees from Yonsei University College of Dentistry and a Doctor of Dental Medicine.

Before placement, appropriate procedures must be applied according to each patient’s different oral condition, so equipment such as 3D-CT is being used.

For the fixture to be stably fixed, there must be a sufficient amount of jawbone, but in some diagnostic results, the jawbone may be judged to be insufficient or weak.

In such cases, bone grafting, which helps reinforce the insufficient jawbone by supplementing it with bone graft material, can be considered at Shinchon Dental.

The implant materials placed afterward are also limited to genuine materials whose safety has been verified, helping reduce concerns about future side effects.

However, even if the implant placement is excellent, thorough care after the procedure is necessary for it to remain in the oral cavity for a long time.

At Shinchon Dental, to reduce concerns about complications such as loosening of the artificial tooth or peri-implantitis, an implant warranty certificate is issued and regular aftercare is provided.

However, because of a fear of dental treatment formed in childhood, there are not a few cases where treatment is postponed even when it is needed.

In cases like this, vague fear of the dentist and anxiety about treatment can be overcome with sedation treatment using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation is a method that induces a light sleep-like state in the patient, helping them receive treatment in a comfortable condition as if they were sleeping.

Unlike general anesthesia, the patient can breathe on their own, and recovery is relatively quick.

Even so, because of the amnesic effect, pain and discomfort that may occur during the procedure are barely remembered, which helps ease fear of the dentist.

At Shinchon Dental, equipment is used to monitor the patient’s light-sleep state and pulse in real time during the procedure, allowing rapid response even if an emergency situation arises.

Conscious sedation treatment can be applied not only to implant placement, but also to the extraction of multiple wisdom teeth, cavity treatment, root canal treatment, and more.

Midazolam, used for conscious sedation treatment, is a drug whose safety has been verified for more than 35 years, and even if the patient’s sleep becomes too deep, they can be awakened with an antidote.

In addition, since a separate recovery room is prepared, if dizziness remains after the procedure ends, patients are assisted to go home after 충분한 휴식을 취한 뒤.

For busy office workers, evening hours are also available for comfortable care, with night clinics held until 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday.
