Solve Concerns About Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Solve concerns about 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 soon as possible. For this purpose, you may consider implant treatment. Unlike dentures, implants have chewing force similar to natural teeth, and if they are properly maintained, they can be used for a long time, which is why they are attracting a lot of interest.

Edentulous implants, which can place up to 20 implants per day, are 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 an individual’s bone condition, same-day treatment may be difficult, and the treatment period may also vary.

The edentulous implant procedure can be broadly divided into four stages. After visiting the clinic, a precise diagnosis is performed, and a treatment plan is established based on that. If there are teeth that need to be extracted, they are extracted on the same day, and implants are placed. After the procedure, once the temporary teeth are placed, eating on the same day becomes possible.

Of course, depending on the bone condition, 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 the teeth with implants. Since full-mouth implant treatment is more difficult than a standard implant procedure, it is important to carefully review the medical staff’s expertise in advance.

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

When placing an implant, a strong bond between the alveolar bone and the implant is truly important. If the bond is not properly formed, the implant may later become loose or fall out. That is why Lime Tree Dental Hospital uses UV implants. Before implant placement, UV is irradiated to increase the hydrophilicity of the implant surface, helping it bond more effectively with the bone.

After implant placement, the procedure is completed by placing the prosthetic restoration. In general, when the prosthetic restoration is made through an outside lab, it takes quite a long time to place the order, have it manufactured, and then have it delivered again. Lime Tree Dental Hospital has its own dental lab, so same-day prosthetic restoration fabrication is possible using a digital system.

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

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