Careful Diagnosis Before Implant Placement at Guro Station Dental Clinic

Implant placement at Guro Station Dental Clinic

After careful diagnosis

Natural teeth not only help chew food and aid digestion,

but also play a major role in producing clear speech and

shaping a person's impression.

They perform various roles in daily life and have a broad

impact, but once they are damaged and lost, they cannot

recover on their own, so special care was needed.

However, they can be unexpectedly lost due to aging and

periodontitis, and trauma or traffic accidents can also be

causes of tooth loss.

If natural teeth have been lost for any of these various

reasons, it is advisable to receive treatment to restore

function at a dental clinic near Guro Station.

In some cases, because only one or two teeth are lost and

there is no severe pain or any particular discomfort, the

timing of treatment may be postponed.

However, if the empty space is left untreated, over time the

surrounding teeth may tilt toward that space, causing the

dental arch to become distorted.

In addition, the force used to chew food can be significantly

decreased compared to before, and changes in the dental

arch and a poor bite can reduce chewing efficiency, leading

to digestive problems.

Furthermore, because patients must eat mainly soft foods

that are easier to chew rather than hard or chewy foods,

nutritional imbalance can also occur.

Since the jawbone in the missing area can gradually be

resorbed and the shape of the face can change, aesthetic

issues may also arise, so treatment should be carried out as

soon as possible.

As such, tooth loss is not a simple problem; it brings

multiple complications and ongoing discomfort, so it is

important to visit the dental clinic promptly.

There are various ways to replace lost natural teeth, such as

dentures, bridges, and implant placement, but recently,

restoration through implants has become the trend.

Implant placement is performed by inserting an artificial root

that acts as the tooth root into the missing area and then

attaching an artificial tooth on top of it.

Because it is firmly fixed directly into the jawbone, strong

stability can be expected, and it can provide chewing

function at a level similar to natural teeth.

Also, because its shape and color are similar to a tooth, it

can create a natural appearance, making it a preferred

option even for younger patients who care about their looks.

However, since implant placement is a procedure performed

directly in the jawbone, a precise diagnosis before treatment

must be the priority to closely examine the current condition

of the alveolar bone.

At Guro Station Dental Clinic, to achieve excellent treatment

results, the condition of the jaw was diagnosed three-

dimensionally using equipment such as 3D-CT before implant

placement.

If the diagnosis showed that the condition of the jawbone was

poor, osseointegration might not occur properly and the

implant could fail, so prior treatment could be helpful.

After careful analysis, in order to establish a customized

treatment plan for each patient, it was advisable to look for a

clinic where medical staff with extensive clinical experience

were on site.

At Guro Station Dental Clinic, a medical team with a PhD in

dentistry from Yonsei University directly assisted with

implant placement after careful diagnosis.

If the initial plan is not properly established, it may lead to

repeat procedures later, so they were continuing treatment by

making an appropriate plan for each individual's condition

after precise diagnosis.

In addition, for artificial tooth materials that must remain in

the mouth for a long time, only clinically proven genuine

implant materials were being used.

Even after successful placement, proper daily care is needed

to expect a highly satisfactory and long-lasting prosthesis.

For this reason, Guro Station Dental Clinic also operated a

regular treatment guarantee system to help provide patient-

specific follow-up care after treatment.

However, if you are postponing treatment because of a vague

fear of the dentist, you may want to consider sleep implant

treatment using conscious sedation.

Sleep implant treatment performed with conscious sedation is

a method in which the patient is guided into a light sleep-

like state while maintaining a faint level of consciousness,

and the procedure is then carried out.

Unlike general anesthesia, there is still some awareness, so if

something is uncomfortable, the patient can communicate it

directly, and recovery is also relatively fast.

Even so, because of the amnestic effect, after the procedure

is completed, most of the process is not remembered, which

can help ease fear of the dental clinic.

Conscious sedation can also be applied to procedures that

take a long time, such as implant placement and the

extraction of multiple wisdom teeth.

At Guro Station Dental Clinic, patient monitoring equipment

and conscious sedation manuals were prepared so that

patients could receive safer sleep treatment.

Immediately after sleep treatment with conscious sedation,

patients may still feel somewhat groggy, so it may be more

helpful to come with a guardian rather than driving a car to

the clinic.
