Precise Treatment, Comfortable Procedure: Implants

Hello, this is Lucid Dental Clinic.

Implants are a representative treatment method that can replace missing teeth.

However, since each person’s oral structure is different, it does not end simply with placement.

If the exact position, angle, and depth are not considered, comfort issues may arise after the procedure.

That is why, at Lucid Dental Clinic, we introduce “digital navigation implants,” which simulate the treatment plan from before the procedure, for more precise and stable results.

In this post, I will briefly explain how this treatment is performed and what benefits it offers.

What Is a Digital Navigation Implant?

A digital navigation implant is a method that combines digital technology with the existing implant procedure.

After precisely analyzing the patient’s oral structure through 3D scans and CT imaging, the exact position and angle where the implant will be placed are planned in advance, and then the procedure is carried out.

Simply put, through preoperative planning, it is a method of placing implants along a set path, as if following a navigation system.

Because it offers higher precision than conventional methods and can reduce unnecessary incisions and errors, many people prefer it.

It is also a method that allows for quick treatment with minimal pain through a minimally invasive procedure.

What Are the Advantages of Digital Navigation Implants?

Improved accuracy

Through accurate simulation and guidance, the implant can be placed in a more stable position.

Minimized incision area

Because only the necessary area is exposed, the incision range can be reduced, and bleeding and discomfort from it may also decrease.

Predictable procedure process

Since planning is done through pre-treatment simulation, it is easier to predict the progress and outcome.

Psychological comfort

Because the entire treatment process is shared with and explained to the patient, it can reduce vague fear and help them receive treatment more comfortably.

With digital navigation, unlike general implants, the overall treatment period is shortened, and after treatment it is possible to return to daily life immediately.

The procedure itself also allows placement without incision by using a guide.

General implants are also a sufficiently good treatment method, but if you want a more accurate and systematic approach, the digital navigation method may be more suitable.

Recommended for the following people

▪ People concerned about a complex jawbone structure or nerve location

▪ People who expect precise treatment and quick recovery

▪ People who have felt anxious about the conventional implant method

▪ People who want a short, predictable procedure because of dental phobia

▪ People who need multiple implants placed

▪ People who hesitate to undergo implant treatment because of pain and bleeding

▪ People who have difficulty with long treatment due to diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

Digital navigation implants can be especially helpful when establishing an accurate treatment path is important, and when the oral structure is complex.

Implant treatment is not just about placing an artificial tooth; it is a treatment that must be approached carefully for long-term oral health.

At Lucid Dental Clinic, we perform digital navigation implants based on accurate diagnosis, a systematic treatment plan, and patient-tailored care.

Please remember that it is important to establish the most suitable treatment plan for yourself through sufficient consultation and precise diagnosis before the procedure.
