[Implant] It’s been a long time since the tooth came out, and the neighboring teeth have tilted. Is an implant possible? Yes, it is. With 1 mm precision!

Hello.

I’m Dr. Jeon Jun-hee, the dentist who protects the teeth at Sinchon.

I enjoy treating cavities, gums, and root canals in natural teeth,

but when a tooth needs to be extracted, or

when patients come in with a tooth already missing,

I recommend implant treatment.

This is an elderly patient in his 80s who always comes to our clinic bravely on his own, even though there are no stairs.

He is truly healthy.

I even want to know his secret^^

It had been several years since the lower right molar was lost,

the teeth in front and behind it gradually tilted toward the empty space.

As a result, the space where the molar used to be became narrower and narrower.

Whether the space is narrow or wide,

if the implant is placed at the exact position and exact angle,

implant treatment is possible in any case.

An implant is an artificial root.

Can you see the screw-shaped object in the X-ray?

Once the implant bonds firmly with the bone (takes 2 months),

another screw is connected on top of it to build the crown support.

We took a CT scan immediately after the implant surgery.

To precisely check whether it was inserted at the desired angle.

We review the CT with the patient after every surgery.

When the image training done right up until just before surgery

is reproduced exactly on the CT, it feels truly rewarding^^

Two months have passed, and now it is time to put up the crown support.

The post is connected to the implant root.

The crown is attached to the post.

A precisely made crown was created at an exquisite angle.

The day the crown is attached is the day treatment is completed.

We take an X-ray and check once more to make sure no foreign material remains.

Implant surgery must be precise, of course,

and careful observation is also needed after treatment is completed.

Regular scaling and deep cleaning beneath the implant, too.

Aftercare matters for everything.

A good implant

is determined by the surgeon’s delicacy during the procedure,

but after the procedure, it is made through the patient’s perseverance (consistent dental visits and care).

I hope today’s post

will be helpful to many people preparing for implant surgery.
