Why Are Front Tooth Implants Considered Difficult in Cheonho-dong? They Say Surgery Can’t Be Done...

Hello!

I’m Director Jang Tae-hyun of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

There is a treatment called “implants” to replace missing teeth,

but front teeth are an exception.

Depending on the clinic, when a front tooth is missing,

bridges may be recommended instead of implants...

Because of this, many patients feel puzzled!

Why Are Front Tooth Implants Considered Difficult in Cheonho-dong? They Say Surgery Can’t Be Done...

Personally, I don’t think there is any surgery that can’t be done.

It’s just that the difficulty is high~

Let me help you understand through the anatomical characteristics that only front teeth have~!!

<Go see front tooth implant cases>

Molars function to cut and crush food,

while front teeth perform the function of cutting.

They are mainly used for cutting food into pieces~

Compared with molars, they are relatively less involved in chewing,

but they are very visible.

Even whitening alone can change a person’s image,

which shows how aesthetically important front teeth are~!

Front tooth implants are difficult for 6 reasons. That is why they are often about 100,000 won more expensive as well.

1. Aesthetic reasons

Front teeth are a highly visible area,

so it is very important that the final prosthesis after implantation looks like a natural tooth.

It should not look like a prosthesis, haha.

We need to recreate a natural color and translucency

so that it looks like it is my own tooth.

That is why we look at a mock-up front tooth shape and discuss it with the patient~

We need to preserve the tooth angle~

Should the tooth be rounded, or pointed?

Depending on the tooth shape, the impression changes too~

2. Structural differences in the bone

The alveolar bone in the front tooth area is thin.

That is why some people feel especially sensitive in the front tooth area during scaling.

Anatomically, the bone in the front is thin... Since implants are placed into bone,

the surgical process becomes more complicated.

In the front tooth area, implants are placed immediately on the day of extraction,

and there is also a reason for preventing alveolar bone resorption!

(To preserve even a little more of my bone...!)

3. The gum line also needs to be considered.

The more detailed it is, the more even a small difference matters.

If there is no gum bone, the gum line sinks in and does not look nice.

The gum volume needs to be made full and plump~

so that the implant prosthesis does not look unnatural.

In severe cases, spaces appear between the teeth.

This is called a black triangle,

and patients really dislike it~

Food also gets stuck there, and aesthetically it is not pretty..

This is where navigation implants are useful.

5. Difficulty in adjusting placement position and angle

First of all, the implant has to be placed well!

only then can the prosthesis be made beautifully.

In particular, with front teeth, even a slight angle error

can make the prosthesis look unnatural~

Navigation implants make it possible to place the implant at the desired angle with no error like this.

An area where the gum volume can also be preserved

in the exact position!!!

Cheonho-dong implants are being placed.

6. A custom abutment is needed

prosthesis powder processing

With the navigation implant method, the prosthesis can also be predicted in advance!!!

Only when the post is also made individually for each patient

can it be fabricated to match the patient’s gum shape and implant position.

Since molars are also mostly made with custom parts,

the post itself is not really a distinguishing point,

but front tooth implants are special in terms of the prosthesis.

Normally, the white prosthesis is used as is, but to make it more aesthetic,

powder processing is applied to the prosthesis

for a translucent finish~

It is made to give the feeling of a natural tooth.

It requires one more step of work~

At Cheonho-dong Implant Clinic, prosthetic work is done in-house, so communication is fast!!

Even front tooth implants alone can change your image.

Today, I explained the six reasons why front tooth implants are difficult.

Because they are more difficult than molar-area procedures,

you should receive treatment from a place with extensive procedural experience.

From the patient’s perspective, there is nothing that is difficult.

It just means that the treatment itself is difficult...

Ah! If you are missing front teeth, you may be concerned when speaking or smiling..

If the diagnosis differs from clinic to clinic,

bridge or implant ...

Even if it is not our Cheonho-dong Implant Clinic,

please get diagnosed at three or more dental clinics!!

Thank you.
