Magok-dong Dental Clinic_ “Safe Preparation, Clean Procedure!” [4. Same-Day Implant Surgery Process]

Hello!

We are Seoul Dia Dental Clinic in Magok-dong,

responsible for your healthy smile.

In the previous post, we looked at the “same-day implant pre-surgery checklist,” right?

We organized all the essentials you need to prepare before surgery, including medication use, health condition, clothing, and whether to bring a companion.

Today is the next step!

The thing patients are most curious about,

[Same-Day Implant Surgery Process]—we’ll walk you through it step by step.

For those who think, “Surgery sounds scary…”

In fact, once you try it, it’s much simpler and cleaner than you might expect.

If you’re with Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, you don’t need to worry,

and I think you’ll feel that clearly through today’s explanation.

Same-Day Implant Surgery Process: Extract Today, Place Today

Step 1: Preoperative Examination & Detailed Diagnosis

Just as clothing looks neat when the first button is fastened correctly,

implant treatment is also half about preparation.

At Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, we carefully check the condition of the alveolar bone, gum health, and nerve position through CT scans, panoramic X-rays, and oral examinations.

“Is there enough bone?”

“Is the maxillary sinus in the upper jaw safe?”

“Is there any risk of nerve damage?”

If these points are overlooked, serious problems can arise.

That’s why we check everything precisely down to the 1 mm level.

Safety comes first.

Step 2: Surgery Preparation (Disinfection & Local Anesthesia)

Once all preparations are complete, before the actual surgery begins, we thoroughly disinfect the inside of the mouth and perform local anesthesia.

This is the most nerve-racking moment.

You may worry, “Will it hurt when the needle goes in?”

In fact, it just feels like a slight pinch—that’s all.

After that, there is almost no pain.

In particular, Seoul Dia Dental Clinic uses a painless anesthesia system, so we minimize the pressure and pain felt when the needle goes in.

Many patients say, “Whoa, I’m scared…”

but once the anesthesia is done, they say, “Oh? That’s it?”

hahahahahahaha

Step 3: Placement of the Artificial Root (Implant Fixture)

Finally, the highlight of implant surgery:

the step where the artificial root is placed after extraction!

In dentistry, “placement” means inserting the implant root into the jawbone.

Simply put, you can think of it as the foundation work for a house, like setting the framework of a building.

You know the saying, “If the foundation is weak, the house collapses,” right?

Dentistry is the same.

That’s why, after carefully checking the patient’s bone density, thickness, and position, the implant must be placed at the optimal angle and depth in order to achieve a strong and long-lasting result.

However, after a tooth is extracted, there is a much larger empty space left than the original root occupied.

If this space is left alone,

unexpected problems can arise, such as inflammation or poor bonding between the bone and the implant.

So, in preparation for possible situations, we often perform bone grafting at the same time.

Just as you would pack down the soil more if the ground is weak, reinforcing the bone helps the implant settle much more stably.

Step 4: Immediate Placement of the Prosthesis (Depending on the Case)

Magok-dong Dental Clinic_Prosthesis Placement

The biggest advantage of same-day implants!

It is that a temporary prosthesis can be placed on the day of surgery.

If the fixture is stably secured enough,

a temporary tooth (prosthesis) is attached immediately on top of it.

Of course, this is not possible in every case,

and it is only possible for patients whose bone condition and gum condition are suitable.

“But what if I can’t have it done?”

Don’t worry!

Even if a temporary prosthesis cannot be placed on the same day,

a stable final prosthesis can be placed 2 to 3 months later, after the bone and implant have firmly bonded.

Step 5: Final Suturing & Disinfection

Once the fixture and prosthesis placement are complete, the incised gum is sutured and disinfected once more.

And to help the surgical area heal properly, we prescribe pain relievers, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory medication.

Once this is done, the surgery is essentially over!

Many patients are surprised and say, “Oh? That ended faster than I expected?”

Step 6: Recovery & Instructions

Just because the surgery is over doesn’t mean everything is finished.

Aftercare and recovery are what really matter.

At Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, we provide detailed instructions one by one on what to follow after surgery.

• Rest completely for about one day

• No alcohol on the day of surgery, and no smoking either

• Eat lukewarm porridge or soft foods

• Care for the surgical area with gargling instead of brushing

If you follow these guidelines, recovery will be much faster.
