[Implant] Precision in Even Tight Spaces: Implant Treatment That Achieved 1 mm of Accuracy

Hello.

This is Director Jeon Jun-hee of Shinchon Chiahgimhee.

Perhaps the person reading this post was told at the dental clinic they had been visiting that

there is not enough space to place an implant, or that the adjacent teeth would need to be shaved down to make a bridge.

In Korea, the level of implant treatment has long reached a world-class standard.

There are also many people who visit my clinic from all over the world for implant treatment.

Thanks to advances in materials and technology, a treatment environment has been established that allows implants to be placed even in narrow spaces.

But above all, what matters most is the clinician’s carefulness and the precision of the procedure.

This is a beautiful female patient in her 50s who was receiving cavity treatment at our clinic.

Because the tooth could no longer be treated, we unfortunately recommended extraction.

Since the inflammation surrounding the tooth was not severe (= healthy, infection-free bone tissue), we placed the implant at the same time as the extraction.

In patients with thin and narrow bone, the bone often resorbs over time and collapses.

After surgery, it is important to always take a CT scan and confirm whether the implant has been placed properly in the desired position and in the desired direction.

It is a process of carefully checking even areas that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Accurately placing an implant in the desired position depends greatly on the clinician’s experience and spatial perception.

20250415 Two months after surgery, we confirmed that the implant was firmly anchored in the bone and then made and placed the abutment.

20250415 Although the space was very narrow, as a result of precisely placing the implant (= artificial root), we were able to make and place a perfectly fitting abutment.

If a bridge had to be made, it would have required more cost and time.

Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the patient,

who always came in with a bright attitude and actively engaged in treatment.
