Namgajwa Dental Clinic Conscious Sedation Method
Inducing a drowsy state

Natural teeth perform a variety of functions in daily life,
but if they are not carefully maintained at all times,
they can eventually be lost.
If a permanent tooth falls out, it becomes difficult to
chew everyday food properly, and you may not be able to
consume nutrients evenly, which can lead to an imbalance.
In addition, speech may become unclear when talking to
others, making communication difficult, or you may have
trouble smiling naturally.

However, even when many problems develop with the teeth,
people often do not feel any major inconvenience in daily
life and leave them untreated for a long time.
If an empty space is left untreated for a long period,
it can bring about larger problems in the future and
may also adversely affect nearby teeth.
In addition, adjacent teeth may slowly move into the area,
or the jawbone may be resorbed, leading to an imbalance
in the overall oral structure.

Since permanent teeth cannot recover on their own once
they are damaged or lost, it is important to visit the
clinic promptly if a problem occurs with a tooth.
Treatment options in such situations include dentures,
bridges, and implants, but in recent years even younger
patients have been preferring implants.
They can be applied when natural teeth are lost due to
trauma, periodontal disease, and similar causes. The
method involves placing an artificial tooth root into the
jawbone at the affected site and then placing a prosthetic
tooth on top of it.

However, one of the reasons many people delay the right
time for treatment is dental phobia, which may stem from
negative memories during previous dental treatment.
In addition, the unique sounds of dental equipment, the
smell, and the burden of having to keep the mouth open
for a long time can combine to make people delay treatment.
Moreover, implants, which are a commonly received
procedure these days, can feel burdensome to many people
because they require multiple visits depending on the
length of the treatment period.

If fear of the dentist is severe due to various factors,
you may consider sedation treatment using the conscious
sedation method at Namgajwa Dental Clinic.
Unlike general anesthesia, conscious sedation is a method
that induces a drowsy state in the patient, reducing
physical and psychological burden and allowing treatment
to be received more comfortably.
Because it is not a completely asleep state but rather a
state with some awareness, the patient can still respond
to the medical staff's instructions during the procedure,
allowing treatment to proceed efficiently.

In addition, the clinic explained that spontaneous breathing
is possible without wearing a breathing guidance device,
and recovery is relatively fast.
Even if the patient's sleep becomes deeper than intended,
rapid recovery can be assisted with the reversal agent that
has been prepared.
Nevertheless, due to the memory-suppressing effect, most
of what happened after conscious sedation treatment ends
is not remembered, which can help patients overcome dental
phobia.

Conscious sedation can be applied to various dental
procedures, including implants and extraction of multiple
wisdom teeth, so it may be considered by people who find
multiple visits burdensome.
However, because it must be carried out after taking into
account the patient's overall health condition and any
medications being taken, it is considered a more demanding
procedure.
Therefore, it can be helpful to find a clinic that provides
patient-specific care based on extensive clinical experience
and know-how in conscious sedation treatment.

For more successful treatment outcomes, Namgajwa Dental
Clinic is directly assisted by a dentist with a doctoral
degree in dentistry, who graduated from Yonsei University,
from treatment to aftercare with great care.
Based on highly accurate diagnoses and many years of
clinical experience, treatment is carried out after 충분한
conversation with the patient to establish an appropriate
plan.
With the available 3D-CT equipment, the clinic can
diagnose the condition of the oral cavity and jawbone in
three dimensions, including aspects that are difficult to
identify with the naked eye.

If the diagnostic results indicate that the jawbone is
damaged and artificial tooth placement is difficult, bone
grafting can be performed first to restore the missing
amount of jawbone.
At Namgajwa Dental Clinic, only genuine implant materials
are used to help patients use them with high satisfaction
for a long time.
However, if implants are not carefully managed after the
procedure, inflammation can occur around the prosthetic,
so oral hygiene must be managed systematically.
