Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic: Reducing the Emotional Burden of Tooth Loss

Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic Tooth Loss

Reducing the Emotional Burden

Our teeth played a variety of roles, including chewing function, which helps break food down into smaller pieces for smoother digestion, and aesthetic function, which makes them visible when we smile or speak.

They also helped us produce clear pronunciation, and for teeth to perform their functions properly, they needed to be positioned in healthy gums.

People usually think tooth loss is caused by aging, but in many cases teeth are also lost due to oral disease or trauma.

In particular, sudden accidents such as traffic accidents can cause tooth loss, so there were also many cases in which implant procedures had to be carried out urgently.

If a tooth has been lost, the condition of the jawbone in that area should be checked, and a treatment plan should be established by carefully assessing the overall structure of the teeth and oral cavity.

In addition, the patient's age and whether they have any systemic diseases are also important, so it was important to determine the treatment method only after carefully checking the patient's overall characteristics.

There are various treatment options that can replace a missing tooth, such as dentures and bridges, but it is difficult to replace it in the same way as the natural tooth that was originally used.

Also, if left untreated for a long time, tooth function can be lost all at once, and the jawbone in the missing area can resorb, so caution was needed.

Recently, the trend has been to choose implants as a treatment to replace the problem of tooth loss, using titanium fixtures that adhere well to the jawbone.

Because the prosthesis has a structure similar to that of a natural tooth, it can restore appearance and excellent chewing power, helping reduce the discomfort caused by tooth loss.

It is also a method of direct placement into the jawbone, with the advantage that it can be placed independently without causing much damage to nearby teeth.

At the dental clinic near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station, the medical team, including a dentistry doctorate graduate from Yonsei University, was identifying the patient's current oral condition through a precise examination before placement.

Since the procedure period can take as little as 3 months and as long as more than 6 months, it can be a burden for patients who find it difficult to visit the clinic multiple times or who have chronic conditions.

However, in the case of the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station dental clinic, before placement, the patient's oral condition was diagnosed three-dimensionally using a 3D-CT precision diagnostic device, and then a treatment plan was established.

Because the distance from adjacent teeth, bone tissue, angle, and nerve position are checked precisely, side effects can be reduced and the procedure time shortened.

If the diagnostic results show that the jawbone is insufficient, bone grafting using artificial bone and autogenous bone should be performed first to supplement the deficient alveolar bone.

In the case of bone grafting, it was a preliminary treatment to strengthen the bone structure according to the patient's condition so that the fixture placed in the gums could perform its function firmly.

At Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station Dental Clinic, only high-quality genuine implant materials are used for highly satisfactory treatment, so a long-lasting prosthesis life can be expected.

If you have a vague fear of the dentist or a phobia, the implant procedure itself can naturally feel more burdensome.

At the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station dental clinic, sedation dentistry using conscious sedation was being provided so that patients could reduce their fear of the dentist and receive treatment in a comfortable state.

Conscious sedation is a method that induces a semi-sleep state in the patient to reduce mental 부담 and proceed with the procedure; unlike general anesthesia, the patient can breathe on their own.

Also, because some level of consciousness remains, the patient can respond to simple communication and instructions from the medical team.

Midazolam, used in conscious sedation dentistry, is a drug whose safety has been verified for more than 35 years, and the recovery speed is also relatively faster than with general anesthesia.

After conscious sedation dentistry is completed, there is almost no memory left of the procedure due to the memory-blanking effect, helping patients overcome dental phobia.

For high-safety sedation treatment, the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station dental clinic was equipped with patient monitoring equipment and emergency equipment, enabling a quick response to emergencies.

Patient monitoring equipment is able to check the patient's semi-sleep state and overall physical condition, such as blood pressure and body temperature, in real time.

Also, since dizziness or drowsiness may remain after the procedure, patients were guided to the recovery room so they could rest sufficiently before going home.

Above all, the lifespan of a prosthesis can vary depending on how well it is managed, so after placement, follow-up care is important.

Even after the procedure, thorough aftercare was being provided through a treatment warranty system so that patients could use it for a long time with high satisfaction.

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