Guro Station Dental Clinic: From Implant Treatment to Post-Treatment Care

Implant treatment at Guro Station Dental Clinic

From treatment to post-treatment care

As a super-aged society emerged as a social issue, interest in dental health, along with physical health management, was also increasing.

Teeth are among the hardest parts of the body, but once they are damaged or lost, they cannot regenerate, so it was important to manage them consistently.

However, no matter how carefully you normally take care of them, you could still lose teeth due to an unexpected accident, natural aging, periodontal disease, and other causes.

If teeth are lost for various reasons, it can significantly affect our health, so it is best to visit a dental clinic near Guro Station as soon as possible.

If the problem of tooth loss is simply left untreated, the teeth adjacent to the empty space will slowly move into it, creating gaps.

Food can get stuck in these gaps, causing the gums to swell and even leading to bad breath from the gums, so caution is needed.

In addition, when a tooth falls out and leaves an empty space, it becomes difficult to chew food properly, and problems such as digestive disorders and nutritional imbalance may also occur.

In addition, sounds may leak out through the empty space when speaking, and changes may occur in appearance, negatively affecting aesthetics as well.

In particular, the lips may turn inward, causing facial wrinkles and collapse around the mouth, which can create various problems and make the face look older than the average age.

Therefore, when natural teeth are lost due to various causes, many inconveniences can follow, so it was important to replace the function of natural teeth in a timely manner.

In the past, dentures were mainly used to replace missing teeth, but the device could easily shift while being worn, and a foreign-body sensation could be felt.

For this reason, in recent years, the trend has been to restore the function of natural teeth through implant treatment, in which artificial teeth are placed on the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth.

Unlike dentures that are attached using clasps, implants are placed independently without negatively affecting adjacent teeth, so they do not wobble easily.

In addition, chewing force could be raised to a level similar to that of natural teeth, and because the prosthetic materials used are similar in color and shape to natural teeth, aesthetic concerns could also be addressed.

Although implant treatment has many advantages, careful diagnosis before placement must come first in order to expect highly satisfactory results.

If placement is not performed with the correct position and angle, it may lead to re-treatment later, so the procedure must be carried out based on precise diagnostic results.

At Guro Station Dental Clinic, to achieve excellent placement results, the thickness and height of the jawbone, as well as the overall alignment of the teeth, were carefully assessed using 3D-CT equipment.

Along with diagnosis, the medical team’s level of experience should also be considered, and if you are planning implant placement, it is best to find a clinic staffed by medical professionals with diverse experience.

At Guro Station Dental Clinic, implant treatment is performed directly by medical staff who graduated from Yonsei University and hold a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, and they also assist with post-treatment care after the procedure.

Before the procedure, the patient’s overall oral condition is assessed, and their health status and age are considered comprehensively, allowing the treatment to proceed in an appropriate manner.

In addition, because the implant must remain in the mouth for a long period, only genuine implant materials of excellent quality were being used for the dental materials used in the procedure.

While you can expect functionality and aesthetics comparable to natural teeth, it is important to maintain thorough care even after the procedure because it is an artificial tooth without nerves.

If side effects such as peri-implantitis occur due to insufficient care, the gums may initially swell or develop bad breath, but it can eventually lead to the prosthesis falling out.

For this reason, Guro Station Dental Clinic issues a warranty certificate and provides customized post-treatment care for each patient to help reduce concerns about side effects after the procedure.

Dental treatment is still seen as something many people fear, so even when treatment is needed, many tend to postpone it.

If you have such vague fear and aversion toward dental treatment, you may consider sleep treatment using conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation is a method in which the patient is induced into a sleep-like state deep enough to respond to external stimuli to some extent, and then the procedure is performed.

Unlike general anesthesia, the patient can maintain breathing on their own without a separate breathing device, and recovery is also relatively fast.

To continue safe conscious sedation sleep treatment, Guro Station Dental Clinic is equipped with patient monitoring devices and emergency equipment.

After conscious sedation sleep treatment ends, the memory-erasing effect helps patients barely remember the pain and discomfort that may have occurred during the procedure.
