Yeongdeungpo Market Station Dental Clinic Tooth Loss
Comfortable Under Conscious Sedation

Adults generally lose their baby teeth during childhood and
replace them with permanent teeth, and to use them for a long time
into old age, systematic care was needed in daily life.
Natural teeth had a hard structure among various parts of the body,
but as time passed and aging progressed,
this could lead to tooth loss.
Once a tooth was lost or fell out, it was a part that would not regenerate,
but not only aging but also sudden accidents and
trauma could cause tooth loss.

When teeth were lost for various reasons like this,
it could be accompanied by problems in overall health, so it was better to
visit a dental clinic near Yeongdeungpo Market Station as soon as possible.
Adjacent teeth would gradually move to fill the empty space,
which could cause the overall alignment to collapse and even lead
to loss of alveolar bone.
Even while eating, it could become difficult to chew sufficiently,
which could be accompanied by digestive problems,
and people could end up seeking only soft foods, leading to
nutritional imbalance.

Therefore, treatment to quickly restore the function of natural teeth
needed to be performed, and representative methods included dentures,
bridges, and implants.
In the case of dentures, since they were used by resting on the gums,
if used for a long period of time, the appliance could become loose
or be accompanied by pain.
A bridge involved removing the adjacent teeth in the area where
tooth loss occurred and connecting them, so its drawback was that
healthy natural teeth had to be削除deleted.

By contrast, implants involved directly placing a fixture made of titanium
on the jawbone, so they did not wobble or adversely affect nearby teeth.
Although this method was often thought to be one used only by older adults,
recently it has also become one of the highly satisfying treatment
methods chosen even at younger ages.
However, it was not an appropriate method for every tooth loss case,
and if there was not enough jawbone for the prosthesis to be firmly fixed,
bone grafting had to be performed.

It was also a highly difficult procedure that required an accurate diagnosis
of each patient’s unique oral structure and a clear understanding of the
implant placement position to ensure a long prosthetic lifespan.
Therefore, it was important to carefully check whether the clinic was
establishing a customized restorative treatment plan for each patient
before visiting.
At the Yeongdeungpo Market Station dental clinic, implant procedures
were performed directly by a physician with a PhD in dentistry who graduated
from Yonsei University College of Dentistry.

Based on many years of clinical experience, the medical team carefully
assessed the patient’s oral condition and then established an appropriate
procedure plan.
For highly satisfying treatment results, they carefully checked the nerve
position, placement angle, and jawbone condition through the equipped
3D-CT precision diagnostic device.
At the Yeongdeungpo Market Station dental clinic, only genuine materials
with verified quality were used for implant materials that needed to remain
in the mouth for a long time.

However, to expect a good prognosis even after placement, it was important
for the patient to manage the implant through a systematic process.
Because an implant is an artificial tooth with no nerves, even if inflammation
occurred, it could be difficult for the patient to detect it on their own.
At the Yeongdeungpo Market Station dental clinic, even after the procedure
was completed, customized follow-up care for each patient was provided through
a treatment warranty system, allowing for an excellent prosthetic lifespan.

However, even if the problems caused by tooth loss had worsened, some people
still had a vague fear of dental clinics and avoided visiting altogether.
Pain that penetrates deep inside a tooth can negatively affect daily life
patterns regardless of age, so treatment needed to be performed quickly.
If fear and anxiety about dental treatment were severe, you could receive help
with sleep treatment using conscious sedation at the Yeongdeungpo Market Station
dental clinic.

Conscious sedation was a method that used a sedative called midazolam to help
the patient receive dental treatment comfortably in a semi-sleep state.
Because some level of consciousness remained, the patient could breathe on their
own and could respond to simple communication and instructions from the medical
team.
Nevertheless, after the treatment ended, the memory-erasing effect meant there
would be no memory of the procedure, helping the patient overcome dental phobia.

The patient monitoring equipment in place was used to check the patient’s
semi-sleep state, blood pressure, pulse, and more in real time.
Also, if drowsiness remained after the procedure ended, they would be moved to
the recovery room to rest sufficiently before being helped home.
To allow visits in the late evening and receive treatment comfortably,
evening appointments were offered every Monday and Wednesday until 9 p.m.
