What’s Different About a Recommended Implant Dental Clinic?

As we gradually age and naturally go through the aging process, some parts of our body can also lose their function more easily.

Teeth are no exception.

Therefore, especially as people get older, gums tend to weaken and the jawbone also diminishes, so many people look into implant treatment to replace teeth that have lost their function for various reasons.

However, if the loss of tooth function has been left untreated for a long time, if dentures have been used continuously, or if periodontal disease was severe and the teeth became significantly weakened because treatment was not received in time, it may be difficult to proceed with implant treatment right away.

In such cases, the jawbone that should support the implant has collapsed and there is not enough bone, so a process to regenerate the jawbone beforehand is needed before implant treatment.

However, from the patient’s and guardian’s point of view, it can be very confusing to visit a dental clinic just expecting implant treatment, only to be told that bone regeneration must come first.

“Could this be overtreatment?”

“Isn’t the treatment burden becoming too high?”

With the unexpectedly large treatment burden and worries, the desire to find a highly recommended implant dental clinic that feels right also grows stronger.

If a procedure is needed anyway, wanting to find a place that can lead treatment safely is perhaps only natural.

So today, at ID Dental Clinic, we will explain in detail what makes truly excellent dental clinics different, from jawbone regeneration to implant placement, for those of you who are feeling a heavy burden and concern.

What Is Bone Grafting?

If a tooth is not present where it should be and the empty period becomes long, the jawbone has no tooth to support, so it gradually begins to disappear as if it no longer has a role to play.

1. When an extracted tooth was left untreated

2. When dentures were worn for a long time

In the two cases above, the amount of jawbone was typically far from sufficient.

Dentures are one of the good alternatives for replacing missing teeth, but the longer they are used, the more they wear down and become loose, continually irritating and pressing on the gums, which causes the jawbone to become very thin and collapse.

When the jawbone is this thin or severely lacking in volume, the thickness and depth needed to place an implant are not available. Since the implant must be used for a long time like a natural tooth, it is not properly supported and can easily loosen or even fall out.

So in recommended implant dental clinics, a procedure to fill in the 부족한 bone is performed first, and once enough bone has formed and the volume is sufficient in thickness and depth, the implant is placed.

The procedure that fills in the insufficient bone is called bone grafting.

Materials for artificial bone grafting that are harmless to the human body exist, and materials with excellent new bone regeneration and strong fusion with existing bone are used.

However, after bone grafting, a certain period of waiting is needed so that bone can form, and then the remaining procedures can be continued for a stable result.

What Should You Know About Implant Bone Grafting?

The condition of the mouth and gums is different for every patient. It is most important to clearly recognize this before proceeding with treatment.

Depending on the condition, the amount of bone grafting is adjusted and the location must be identified; in some cases, there is enough autogenous bone, so treatment may be delayed and the implant placed later. Because of this, treatment plans vary depending on the condition.

In other words, the same bone grafting procedure cannot be applied uniformly to everyone.

In clinics that are truly recommended for implants, treatment begins with a precise diagnosis of age, oral condition, current gum condition, and analysis of the amount of remaining bone.

If the implant is needed in the upper jaw, bone grafting must be done after a sinus lift. If it is in the lower jaw, care must be taken to avoid the inferior alveolar nerve, a thick nerve canal that runs through the lower jaw.

Therefore, three-dimensional precise diagnosis is a very important process.

If the diagnosis and treatment plan are established correctly and an experienced clinician performs the surgery exactly as planned, the result is stable.

Based on Trust,

Thorough Care After Treatment.

If the bone grafting goes well and implant placement is completed successfully, from that point on you must focus on post-operative care.

Just like natural teeth that require lifelong care, implants that replace teeth also need steady management and checkups after treatment.

The implant itself is an artificial tooth with no nerve and no sensation, but periodontal disease can develop in the gums around the implant.

Care must be taken to prevent food from getting trapped between gaps, and scaling should be received regularly to manage the gums.

If the area around the implant breaks down, it can lead to a problem called peri-implantitis.

If the gums weaken and collapse, the implant becomes more exposed outside the gums and starts to loosen, which means surgery must be done again.

Therefore, when looking for a recommended implant dental clinic, you should not just check whether they perform the surgery and stop there; be sure to see whether they provide genuine certification documents and a post-treatment warranty system to help maintain the implant well for a long time.

In particular, after placing the implant fixture, a crown prosthesis that serves as the shape of the tooth crown is fitted, and this prosthesis must also be made with both aesthetics and durability in mind.

A prosthesis that looks unnatural and does not match the other teeth is a minus aesthetically, and a prosthesis with a strength that cannot withstand chewing and breaks easily makes it difficult to chew food and eat properly.

Since prostheses can break or come off often, this part must also be checked carefully.

For this, it is helpful to check whether the implant dental clinic has an in-house dental lab.

ID Sinsa Main Branch has a lab inside the clinic, allowing it to quickly and accurately fabricate prostheses tailored precisely to the diagnostic results.

With the belief that implants should also look beautiful, skilled technicians carefully worked to create results that are natural like real teeth and not awkward even with long-term use.

Taking the overall characteristics of implants into account, we focused not only on the most basic functional stability, but also on the appearance of the prosthesis for high stability in daily life later on, sufficiently reflecting the color and texture of natural teeth to design them with an emphasis on naturalness.

Thanks to this, patients can also experience greater confidence after their implant treatment.

So far, we’ve introduced points to keep in mind when looking for a recommended implant dental clinic.

People often go to a dental clinic because it is nearby, because many people around them go there, because they have heard of it often through someone else, or because it is very inexpensive.

Of course, standards differ from person to person, so it is good to choose a place based on what you value most, but we also recommend checking whether the clinic has the clinical experience and system needed to maintain implants stably.

ID Sinsa has continued to build up a total of 20 years of treatment experience so far.

Because it has been providing care consistently for years in the same Gangnam location without moving, many patients have visited, and as a result, the clinic has handled a wide variety of cases and accumulated extensive experience and know-how.

Based on that data, the experienced medical staff have been able to diagnose and perform surgery accurately, earning trust as a primary dental clinic that steadily checks oral conditions over time.

If you are looking for a place to get implants, we hope the information shared today will be helpful.
