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.
