Solve the Problem of Missing Teeth with Implants

Resolve the concerns caused by missing teeth with implant treatment

If you have lost a tooth due to a sudden accident, aging of the teeth, periodontal disease, or other causes, it is important to restore it as quickly as possible. For this purpose, implant treatment is often considered. Unlike dentures, implants have chewing power similar to natural teeth, and if properly maintained, they can be used for a long time, which is why they are attracting a lot of attention.

Edentulous implant treatment, which can place up to 20 implants per day, is very helpful in shortening the treatment period. In addition, a simple meal is possible on the day of the procedure, which also helps with recovery. Of course, depending on the condition of the individual’s bone, same-day treatment may be difficult, and the treatment period may also vary.

The edentulous implant procedure can largely be divided into four stages. After visiting the clinic, a detailed diagnosis is performed, and a treatment plan is then established accordingly. After that, if there are teeth that need to be extracted, extraction is performed on the same day and the implants are placed. Once temporary teeth are placed after the procedure, eating on the same day becomes possible.

Of course, depending on the condition of the bone, same-day treatment may be difficult, and the treatment period may also vary.

If you have lost multiple teeth, you may need to undergo a full-mouth implant procedure that replaces all of your teeth with implants. Since full-mouth implant treatment is more difficult than a general implant procedure, it is important to carefully review the medical team’s capabilities in advance.

Implant treatment is not an easy procedure, so choosing the medical team is also a very important part. At Lime Tree Dental Hospital, the chief director, who has 24 years of experience and experience placing 27,000 implants, personally places the implants.

When performing implant treatment, a strong bond between the alveolar bone and the implant is very important. If the bond is not properly established, the implant may later become loose or fall out. That is why Lime Tree Dental Hospital has introduced and uses UV implants. Before implant placement, UV is applied to increase the hydrophilicity of the implant surface, helping it bond more effectively with the bone.

After implant treatment, the procedure is completed only when the prosthesis is placed. In general, when the prosthesis is outsourced, there is a considerable amount of time required for production to be commissioned and then delivered again. Lime Tree Dental Hospital has its own in-house dental lab, which makes same-day prosthesis production possible using a digital system.

Now, you may be wondering about the cost of implant treatment. As many of you already know, if you are 65 or older, insurance coverage applies, and up to two implants can be placed for a very low cost over a lifetime. However, please be sure to note that this does not apply in cases of complete tooth loss.

Even if insurance does not apply, treatment is available starting in the 800,000 KRW range, so please visit for a consultation for more detailed information.
