Treatment Process for a Maxillary Full-Arch Implant and Mandibular Root Canal Treatment Crown in Gwanak-gu Dental Clinic for a Mouth with Missing Teeth, Wobbly Molars, and Pain Caused by Periodontal Disease

Hello,

I am Dr. Park Jeong-gi, a dentist in Gwanak-gu.

Teeth are not simply tools for eating.

They also play an important role in expressing confidence

when smiling or speaking.

But if you neglect them for a long time and leave them untreated,

and the teeth become loose and even the jawbone around the gums begins to dissolve,

the quality of life inevitably drops significantly.

Today, at a Gwanak-gu dental clinic,

I will explain the process of restoring a healthy mouth from such a serious condition,

and show how much it can change a person’s life.

A Mouth Collapsed by Periodontal Disease

2024.03.28

As you can see in the panoramic image,

because oral care had not been maintained for quite a long time,

multiple teeth had been lost,

and even the remaining teeth

were mostly severely loose.

In particular, periodontal disease was very severe,

and there were several areas where the jawbone had been resorbed all the way to the root tips,

so in the maxilla (upper jaw), there does not appear to be a single tooth

that can properly perform chewing function.

At the Gwanak-gu dental clinic,

we explain that in such cases, recovery is difficult with simple prosthetics

or scaling alone.

When the jawbone has become weakened by severe inflammation,

natural teeth cannot be preserved,

so an approach that rebuilds everything from the roots up is needed.

A Complex Treatment Plan to Restore Both Function and Aesthetics

At the Gwanak-gu dental clinic,

we saw that this case involved several serious problems

that were progressing,

so a comprehensive plan was necessary.

Teeth that can be saved should be saved,

but areas that appear difficult to maintain should be extracted,

and the oral function should be rebuilt through replacement options such as implants.

▶ Full-Arch Maxillary Implants

The remaining teeth in the upper jaw must all be extracted,

and restoration should be done with full-arch implants.

In areas where there is insufficient jawbone,

bone grafting should be performed in combination to secure stability,

and a full prosthesis should be designed with both aesthetics and function in mind

to also reduce the patient’s financial burden.

▶ Root Canal Treatment and Prosthetics for the Lower Anterior Teeth

The lower anterior teeth (front teeth)

are relatively better preserved,

so after root canal treatment,

they are restored with fixed prosthetics.

In this way,

the empty front-tooth space is filled,

speech becomes clearer,

and aesthetic satisfaction can also be improved.

▶ Right Lower Molar Implants

The areas where the jawbone had dissolved down below the roots

can likewise be restored by placing implants

to recover chewing function.

Because molars play an important role,

they must be able to withstand strong chewing force.

▶ Temporary Teeth to Support Daily Life During Treatment

All treatment processes inevitably take time,

so

at the Gwanak-gu dental clinic,

we believe that patients should be able to eat and talk without inconvenience in daily life

even while receiving treatment.

That is why temporary prosthetics (temporary teeth)

can be used at this stage,

Since this process has a major impact on patient satisfaction,

at the Gwanak-gu dental clinic,

if we perform full-mouth reconstruction or work on the front teeth,

we recommend receiving this kind of support.

Looking at the result after all treatment is completed,

as planned, both the upper and lower oral health have been restored,

and not only is it much cleaner than before,

but it is also firmly fixed to the gums,

so there should have been a very positive change

when eating.

2024.09.26

"When teeth fall out, it is not the end;

from that moment on, the quality of life begins to collapse."

Untreated oral health deteriorates faster than expected,

and if the timing for treatment is missed,

it may become difficult to preserve natural teeth.

2024.03.28 ~ 2024.09.26

However, if you do not give up and receive professional treatment,

you can recover even your overall satisfaction with life.

Please do not forget this fact.

Hoping to leave a lasting memory for you,

this was Dr. Park Jeong-gi of Seoul Remember Dental Clinic in Gwanak-gu.
