Sangsu Station Dental Clinic: Precisely Assessing the Condition Before Implant Treatment

Sangsu Station Dental Clinic Implant Treatment

Precisely assessing the condition

In the case of natural teeth, because they are part of the body that performs a variety of functions in daily life, it is important to manage them carefully at all times.

However, teeth can be lost for many reasons more often than expected, and as people age naturally, gum condition can decline, which may lead to tooth loss.

In addition, accidents can cause impact to natural teeth, and due to severe trauma, teeth may fall out or break.

In younger adults as well, there were cases of tooth loss due to periodontal disease because they were too busy with daily life and could not properly care for their teeth on a regular basis.

When natural teeth are lost due to various causes like this, it is important to receive appropriate treatment quickly and restore dental function.

In the early stages, there may not be any obvious discomfort, so treatment may be left undone, but as time passes, various problems can arise.

Teeth play many roles, but since their usual function is to chew food, losing them can make it difficult to bite and chew.

As a result, chronic indigestion may occur, and because it becomes hard to eat firm foods, people may rely only on soft liquids, which can lead to nutritional imbalance.

Also, if left untreated for a long period, adjacent teeth may gradually move into the empty space, or alveolar bone resorption may progress.

Recently, when a tooth is lost, implant treatment has been used to restore the function of natural teeth, and it is a procedure preferred by people of all ages.

Because implant treatment is fixed directly into the jawbone, it has the advantage of allowing stable chewing of hard foods.

Not only is it functional, but it also has a shape and color similar to natural teeth, so excellent esthetics can be expected.

However, this is a highly difficult procedure because the patient’s oral condition must be precisely assessed and implant treatment must be performed at the exact placement position and angle.

At the dental clinic near Sangsu Station, the available 3D-CT precision diagnostic equipment was being used to carefully examine even oral structures that are difficult to confirm with the naked eye.

Since implant treatment falls into the high-difficulty category, the procedure itself is also complex, so it was necessary to find a clinic with medical staff who have extensive clinical experience.

For more successful treatment results, Sangsu Station Dental Clinic had a medical doctor with a doctorate in dentistry and a graduate of Yonsei University College of Dentistry personally carrying out implant treatment.

Based on detailed diagnostic results, the medical staff were presenting an appropriate placement plan for each patient and proceeding with a precise procedure.

The implant materials used for placement consisted only of verified genuine domestic and international implant materials, allowing patients to expect highly safe implant treatment.

At Sangsu Station Dental Clinic, to reduce concerns about side effects such as peri-implantitis even after treatment, follow-up care was being carried out through a systematic process.

However, many people postponed treatment even when a procedure was needed because of the pain associated with dental care.

If someone was avoiding even visiting the dentist because of pain, the unique sound of dental equipment, or the smell, they could choose sedation treatment using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation is a method of performing the procedure by inducing a semi-sleep state, as if the patient were sleeping, through a medication called midazolam.

Midazolam has been proven safe for more than 35 years, and its recovery speed is relatively fast compared with the general anesthesia most people know.

Because a reversal agent exists, even if the patient’s sleep becomes too deep, they can be awakened.

While conscious sedation treatment is being performed, the patient retains some degree of awareness, so if there is any discomfort, they can express it to the medical staff.

Even so, after the procedure is finished, the patient does not remember the treatment process, which can help overcome a vague fear and anxiety about the dentist.

At Sangsu Station Dental Clinic, patient monitoring equipment was being used to adjust the appropriate amount of midazolam based on the patient’s semi-sleep state, which was checked in real time.

It could be applied not only to patients who simply have dental fear, but also to patients with chronic illnesses and older adults.

Immediately after conscious sedation treatment, dizziness or drowsiness may remain, so patients were assisted home after 충분한 rest in a separate recovery room.

For busy office workers, evening treatment was being provided until 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday so they could receive care comfortably even late at night.
