Shindorim Implant Sleep Treatment Carried Out with Conscious Sedation

Shindorim implant sleep treatment

Carried out with conscious sedation

Permanent teeth played various roles in daily life,

but in many cases they were lost because people did not

care for them carefully enough.

If they were lost for various reasons, it became difficult to

chew food properly, and it could lead to nutritional

imbalance because nutrients were not consumed evenly.

In addition, when talking with others, unclear pronunciation

could make communication difficult, and there could also be

negative effects aesthetically.

However, even when a dental problem occurred, if there was

no particular discomfort, people often left it untreated or

postponed the appropriate time for treatment.

If the problem of tooth loss is left unattended, it can cause

even bigger problems later and can also negatively affect

adjacent teeth.

The surrounding teeth may slowly tilt into the space left by

the missing natural tooth, causing the balance that helped

maintain the shape of the face to collapse.

Also, because it becomes impossible to chew delicious food

evenly, digestion may not proceed smoothly and can develop

into chronic indigestion.

Therefore, since permanent teeth do not regenerate once

they are damaged, it was advisable to restore the function of

natural teeth at the Shindorim implant dental clinic.

The representative restorative treatments that could be

chosen included dentures, bridges, and implants, and more

recently, implants have been preferred regardless of age.

The procedure was carried out by securely placing a titanium

fixture into the jawbone, then connecting an abutment and

finally placing the crown.

Because age, systemic diseases, and other factors differ from

person to person, the number of implants placed and the

difficulty level vary, so the treatment period can differ.

It generally takes about 3 to 6 months, but because it goes

through the osseointegration process, it becomes firmly fixed

and can restore chewing function to a level very similar to

that of natural teeth.

In addition, the prosthetics used for placement also have

colors and shapes similar to natural teeth, so they are

considered natural in appearance.

Even so, because this is a high-difficulty procedure, it is

necessary to check the clinician's skill and experience in

order to expect good implant results.

In addition, careful management after the procedure is also

necessary to reduce the possibility of various complications,

so it is advisable to check whether follow-up care is provided.

At the dental clinic near Shindorim implant, the procedure

was being carried out by a Yonsei University–trained dentist

with a doctorate in dentistry in order to achieve more

satisfactory implant treatment results.

Based on highly accurate diagnosis and clinical experience,

they were establishing a plan appropriate for the patient's

condition before proceeding with treatment.

Using equipment such as 3D-CT, they carefully diagnosed

even oral structures that are difficult to confirm with the

naked eye and established customized plans for each patient.

If the diagnostic results showed that the alveolar bone was

damaged and that placing an artificial tooth would be

difficult, a bone graft to replenish the insufficient amount of

alveolar bone could be performed first.

In addition, so that patients could keep the prosthesis in the

mouth for a long time, the Shindorim implant dental clinic

used only genuine implant materials.

Even if the procedure is performed correctly, if ongoing care

after treatment is not properly carried out, peri-implantitis or

prosthesis fracture may occur during use.

Therefore, at the Shindorim implant dental clinic, follow-up

care was being provided through a treatment warranty

system so that patients could expect a long prosthesis life

even after placement.

However, depending on the treatment period, implants may

require multiple visits, and because they are placed directly

into the alveolar bone, many people may feel psychological

burden.

If you have a long treatment period or a vague fear of dental

clinics, you can overcome that fear through sleep treatment

using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation was a method of treatment in which

medication induces a light sedated state, guiding the patient

into a comfortable drowsy state.

The sedative used was midazolam, whose safety has been

verified for more than 35 years, and if the patient happened

to fall into a deeper sleep, they could be awakened with the

available reversal agent.

Because some degree of consciousness remains, the patient

can respond even to the clinician's light instructions and

speech, and unlike general anesthesia, they can breathe on

their own.

After sleep treatment carried out with conscious sedation is

completed, the amnesic effect means that the procedure is

almost not remembered, helping to reduce fear.

At the Shindorim implant dental clinic, patient monitoring

equipment and a conscious sedation manual were in use,

allowing them to continue highly stable sleep treatment.

By monitoring the patient's drowsy state in real time, they

adjusted the appropriate amount of sedative to help ease

concerns about possible side effects.
