Gangnam Sinsa Station, Incisionless Implants: What Is the Secret to Minimizing Pain·Swelling While Achieving High Satisfaction?

Hello.

I am Dr. Ha Hyun, the representative director of The Star Dental Clinic in Gangnam.

When I consult with patients about dental implants,

there is something they fear just as much as the cost.

It is the “fear of surgery.”

How painful will it be once the anesthesia wears off?

I heard that the gums are cut and there is a lot of bleeding—will I be able to go to work tomorrow?

If these concerns have led you to put off visiting the dentist,

I hope you will read this post to the end today.

From a dentist’s perspective, I will clearly explain The Star Dental Clinic’s “incisionless implants,” which can help you move beyond the fear of having your gums cut with a scalpel and stitched with thread.

Why Do Conventional Incision-Based Implants Hurt and Swell So Much?

In conventional implant surgery,

The gums are widely incised and opened with a scalpel to directly inspect the condition of the jawbone (alveolar bone).

After placing the fixture (artificial root) in the bone, the gums are covered again and sutured with a needle and thread.

As a result, widely incising the gums inevitably causes bleeding and swelling, and the recovery period may be prolonged.

※ In addition, bacteria may enter through the incision, so the relative risk of inflammation and infection is also higher. ※

The main reason patients with systemic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, as well as older patients, feel apprehensive about implants is this process.

An Innovation That Requires No Cutting or Suturing: “Incisionless Implants”

The treatment method that dramatically addresses these shortcomings of conventional surgery is “incisionless implants.”

As the name suggests, the gums are not widely cut with a scalpel or sutured with thread.

After accurately identifying the structure of the jawbone and the location of the nerves using advanced 3D equipment, only a very small hole is made for the implant, and the fixture is placed precisely in position.

Unlike the incision method, which involves bleeding and stitches, the incisionless method causes very little bleeding and leaves only a very clean, small hole, which you can see for yourself.

Four Differences in Outcomes Created by Incisionless Implants

This method, which minimizes gum damage as much as possible, provides patients with a significantly more comfortable recovery process.

1) Reduced Bleeding and Pain
Because there is no wide incision, pain and bleeding are significantly reduced both during surgery and after the anesthesia wears off.
2) Less Swelling
Minimizing damage to the gum tissue greatly reduces severe swelling the day after surgery.
3) Faster Return to Daily Life
There is no need to return to the dentist to have stitches removed, and the lower risk of infection allows for a faster return to daily life after the procedure.
4) Shorter Overall Treatment Period
The waiting time for the gums to heal is reduced, shortening the overall treatment period until the final prosthesis is placed.

A Procedure with Limited Visibility: The Key Ultimately Lies in the “Doctor’s Expertise”

Incisionless implants are an excellent treatment method with many advantages, but they cannot be successfully performed easily at every dental clinic.

Because the implant is not placed while directly viewing the bone after opening the gums, a doctor’s advanced sense and extensive skill are absolutely necessary to place the implant accurately through a small hole based on 3D data.
