With Reduced Fear

Because teeth are often exposed to heavy smoking, drinking, and a lack of time, if they are not carefully maintained, they were highly likely to be exposed to various oral diseases.

Although they are relatively hard compared to other parts of the body, once they are damaged or lost, they do not recover on their own, so careful care was necessary.

Even if you usually maintained them with thorough brushing, natural teeth could still be permanently lost due to unexpected accidents, trauma, or aging.

If teeth were lost for various reasons, it was helpful to receive restorative treatment promptly at a dental clinic near Hongdae before the problem developed further.

When teeth are lost, people first experience difficulty eating a balanced diet, and this could be accompanied by problems with digestive function.

In addition, unclear pronunciation and changes in facial shape could be caused when communicating with others.

If the area where a natural tooth was lost is left untreated for a long time, the jawbone gradually resorbs, which can create difficulties later when treatment is attempted.

Therefore, if a tooth is lost, rather than leaving it untreated because of lack of time or dental phobia, the function of the natural tooth should be restored through appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Recently, implant treatment has been used as a replacement, and because it provides functions similar to natural teeth, it has been a highly satisfying procedure.

Unlike dentures and bridges, which were commonly chosen in the past, it has the advantage of not easily shaking during use or adversely affecting adjacent teeth.

Because implant treatment is placed directly into the jawbone, it provides strong fixation and is also excellent aesthetically, with a shape and color similar to natural teeth.

However, it is a highly difficult procedure in which placement must be performed only after carefully considering the location of the missing tooth, the patient’s gum condition, and whether there is enough jawbone.

Therefore, based on extensive clinical experience, you had to choose a clinic that performed implant treatment using a method appropriate for the patient’s oral condition.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, dentists who graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry and hold a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree were performing implant placement after making precise diagnoses.

Based on their many years of clinical experience, the medical staff were presenting appropriate treatment plans through sufficient consultation with patients.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, equipment such as 3D-CT was available to diagnose each patient’s jawbone condition, oral structure, and nerve position in three dimensions.

If the diagnostic results determined that the amount of alveolar bone was insufficient, bone grafting could be considered to supplement the missing amount of jawbone with various graft materials.

In addition, the implant materials used for subsequent placement were limited to clinically proven genuine materials, helping to reduce concerns about possible side effects later on.

Even if implant treatment is completed successfully, if care is not continued consistently, there is a high possibility that inflammation will develop in the gums supporting the artificial tooth.

Therefore, to prevent such side effects in advance, Hongdae Dental Clinic issued an implant warranty and provided regular follow-up care.

However, there were also cases where patients delayed treatment regardless of age because of pain and bleeding that could occur during dental treatment.

If treatment is postponed due to a vague fear of the dentist, bigger problems can arise, so patients could receive help from sleep dentistry using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation is a method that induces a light sleep state in patients and helps them receive implant treatment while their fear and anxiety about the dentist are reduced.

Unlike general anesthesia, patients can breathe on their own without a breathing-assist device, and recovery is also faster, reducing the physical burden.

It has the advantage of allowing simple communication with the medical staff and responding to instructions to some extent, making efficient treatment possible.

Even so, after treatment is completed, the memory-blanking effect means that patients hardly remember the procedure, helping them overcome their fear of visiting the dentist in the future.

At Hongdae Dental Clinic, patient monitoring equipment and emergency equipment were being operated for safer conscious sedation sleep treatment.

Based on the patient’s real-time light-sleep state, the appropriate dose of sedative medication used for conscious sedation sleep treatment was being adjusted.

After treatment, patients may still feel sleepy or dizzy, so they were helped to go home after 충분한 rest in the built-in recovery room.

To make it possible to visit later in the evening and receive care, late-night treatment was offered until 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday.
