Why Bone Graft Implants Are Needed

It has been a long time since several of my teeth were lost.

I have been receiving implant consultations here and there,

and they say I need bone graft implants...

Is it really necessary? Do I really have to do it?

Hello, I’m Lee Yang-gu, the CEO doctor of ID Dental Clinic.

As everyone knows, once a tooth is damaged, it cannot regenerate, so it is difficult to restore it to its previous state.

Moreover, if the tooth has not only been damaged but has also lost its function, it is important to receive the appropriate treatment as quickly as possible.

At this time, depending on the patient’s condition, there may be some differences,

but generally, implant treatment may be recommended.

An implant is often described as “another tooth,” and as such, it is very useful because it resembles a natural tooth in appearance and can also replace tooth function.

However, there are cases in which implant treatment cannot be performed immediately.

That is when there is not enough jawbone.

Cases of insufficient jawbone usually occur when a tooth has been missing for a long time and left untreated, or when dentures have been used for an extended period.

Because our teeth are basically supported and fixed by this jawbone, implant treatment is also difficult without sufficient jawbone.

Therefore, the treatment needed in this case is a “bone graft implant.”

Implant treatment itself can already be frightening, and hearing that a bone graft is also needed can naturally feel even more intimidating to patients.

So today, at ID Dental Clinic, we will explain in detail a way to help patients feel much less burdened.

Bone graft implants can be less frightening with conscious sedation that feels as comfortable as sleeping

In fact, many patients feel burdened simply by visiting the dentist because of fear of dental care and vague anxiety about treatment. Among these, fear of implant treatment is especially strong.

Because patients often worry about pain from various aspects, such as the appearance of the device and the method of placement, many feel even more scared before treatment.

Since the anxiety patients feel can affect the overall treatment process, dental clinics should first do their best to help patients feel at ease before implant treatment.

That is why, at ID Dental Clinic, we suggest conscious sedation, which helps patients feel psychologically calm through light sleep-like sedation.

Because it is similar to a sleeping state, patients can feel more mentally relaxed before bone graft implant treatment.

Thanks to that, pain during treatment is also barely felt.

In particular, at ID Dental Clinic, before proceeding with light sedation, we check factors such as the drug concentration based on the patient’s condition in advance.

Although treatment and monitoring can be adequately performed at a dental clinic, ID Dental Clinic makes efforts in many ways to provide a safer system for everyone.

Therefore, within a more systematically prepared care system, you can receive a more precise bone graft implant procedure.

Above all, ID Dental Clinic sufficiently assesses the patient’s gum condition and available space, and performs customized bone graft implants with the least burdensome graft range.

All implant components used in this process are original devices with proven safety, so long-term maintenance is possible with no major issues in aftercare.

Aftercare for bone graft implants is based on the stability of the dental clinic

As with all dental treatments, implants also involve the device being directly placed into the jawbone, so post-treatment aftercare is extremely important.

After getting implants, if the device develops a problem due to an unexpected accident, impact, or similar issue, aftercare is what is needed.

However, if a variable arises at the place where the implant treatment was performed, patients will likely find themselves in the most difficult situation.

That is why, at ID Dental Clinic, we recommend that when choosing not only bone graft implants but also any treatment at any dental clinic, you carefully check in advance how long the clinic has been providing care.

If possible, it is better to choose a clinic that has steadily remained in one location for a long time without moving.

Likewise, ID Dental Clinic has been providing treatment continuously at one location since 2006.

Thanks to that, many patients from all across the country come to ID Dental Clinic first.

And because it has maintained a solid presence for a long time, it also has implant placement know-how.

Therefore, with ID Dental Clinic’s own technical expertise, same-day implant placement is fully possible.

In addition, because we also operate our own dental laboratory, specialists in each field directly communicate with dental technicians and take deep part in requesting and producing prosthetics.

As a result, patients are always provided with custom prosthetics of a more precise quality.

Up to this point, we at ID Dental Clinic have explained in more detail another way to make bone graft implants less burdensome.

At ID Dental Clinic, we reproduce the patient’s tooth structure and condition without error using 3D digital equipment.

And accordingly, we provide even more precise implant treatment after a 3D simulation surgery in advance.

Based on what we shared today, we hope you can receive the implant treatment you need in a timely and stable manner, without delay.
