Maggok Dental_“Don’t scratch it—manage it gently!” [2. Implant-only Airflow Scaling]

Hello,

This is Magok Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, here to protect your oral health.

Last time, we introduced a new kind of scaling,

Airflow scaling, and explained its principles and features.

The method that received reactions like “less painful, refreshing, and cleaner”!

This time, let’s move on to a question that many people are curious about.

Implants are an important treatment that replaces missing teeth.

Unlike natural teeth, the root is directly placed into the jawbone,

and a crown prosthesis is placed on top.

Although it looks similar to a natural tooth,

the way bacteria invade and the structure where it meets the gums

are a little different, so management is more important.

In particular, tartar easily accumulates around implants,

and if plaque builds up, it can easily spread into inflammation (peri-implantitis).

Peri-implantitis is difficult to treat and tends to progress quickly,

so regular scaling is essential.

So is ultrasonic scaling the only option?

Conventional ultrasonic scaling is effective for removing tartar,

but implant patients often worry about this.

“Could metal instruments damage the implant?”

“Could the prosthesis loosen or get scratched?”

“Could the vibration affect implant fixation?”

In fact, if the implant is well maintained, ultrasonic scaling can also be received safely.

However, for sensitive patients, it may still feel burdensome.

The ultimate tartar-removal method that eases these worries!!

This time, let’s look at implant Airflow scaling!

Airflow scaling,

also suitable for implant care!

Airflow scaling does not scrape with metal instruments,

but cleans the tooth or implant surface by spraying water, air, and powder.

So there is less chance of scratching the implant surface,

and plaque film or discoloration around it can be gently removed.

In particular, because surface management is more important for implants than for natural teeth,

receiving Airflow regularly can be very helpful in protecting the health of the surrounding gums.

Magok Dental_Perio tip

Special tips (Soft tip, Perio tip, etc.) are used separately for implant care.

These tips are not hard metal but are made of plastic or

rubber, so they do not scratch the implant surface while still

gently cleaning every corner.

Simply put, it is like having a safe mode just for implants.

Magok Dia Dental Clinic uses these special tips to

care for implants and natural teeth in the most suitable way for each.

The advantages for implants are as follows.

1. Less pain and discomfort

Patients who have had implants may already feel tense about coming to the dentist

because of their surgery experience.

Airflow uses special tips and creates less vibration, reducing psychological 부담감.

2. Less damage to implant prostheses

Because it removes contaminants with fine powder instead of mechanical friction,

there is less concern about scratching the implant surface.

3. Care for the surrounding gums as well

The success of an implant depends on the health of the surrounding gums.

Airflow removes plaque that accumulates at the boundary between the tooth and gum, so

it is effective in preventing peri-implant gum inflammation.

4. Restores aesthetics by removing discoloration

Implants also discolor after eating and drinking.

Airflow removes this staining, helping restore a natural appearance.

Safer when combined with regular checkups

Airflow alone does not finish all care.

Hard tartar may still require ultrasonic scaling.

Therefore, at Magok Dia Dental Clinic, after checking the patient’s condition,

we combine the two methods when necessary.

For example, if “there is a lot of plaque around the implant

and a lot of hard tartar on the natural teeth,”

we proceed with a combination of Airflow and ultrasonic scaling.

Summary of today’s post

1. Implants also absolutely need scaling.

2. Airflow is less irritating to implant prostheses and is beneficial for care.

3. There are special tips for implants, making it safe.

4. Depending on the condition, combining it with ultrasonic scaling is the most ideal.

Today, we talked about the topic, “Can implant patients also receive Airflow scaling?”

The conclusion is: yes, they can → it is actually advantageous → but customized care is needed.

In the next Part 3, we prepared “the differences between Airflow and regular scaling.”

It will be helpful for those wondering, “Which one is right for me?”

In addition, Airflow equipment is expensive, so it is not easy to introduce at every dental clinic.

Our Magok Seoul Dia Dental Clinic is equipped with this device and even special implant tips,

so when patients receive scaling, they can experience a “less painful, more refreshing upgraded experience.”
