Hello. This is Lucid Dental Clinic.
Implants are no longer
treatment only for middle-aged and older adults.
Even among younger people who want to keep their teeth healthy for as long as possible,
interest in implants, which offer functionality and aesthetics similar to natural teeth,
is steadily increasing.
When a natural tooth is lost for various reasons such as tooth damage, cavities, accidents, or congenital absence,
the treatment most commonly considered as a replacement
is an implant.

What is an implant?
An implant is a treatment method in which a titanium artificial tooth root (screw)
is placed in the jawbone to replace a damaged or missing tooth,
and a prosthetic is placed on top so that it can function like a natural tooth.
It is not simply “placing a tooth,”
but a comprehensive dental treatment that also considers
restoring chewing force, improving aesthetics, supplementing pronunciation, and regaining confidence.
Why are people considering implants these days?
In the past, implants were mainly sought by older adults due to tooth loss,
but recently interest has also increased among people in their 20s to 40s.
This is because cavities or trauma caused by lifestyle habits, drinking, smoking,
and poor dental care often lead to gaps after extraction.
At this point, the choice often becomes
“bridge vs. implant.”
Instead of a bridge, which requires trimming the teeth on both sides,
many people prefer implants because they can preserve the natural teeth.
In addition, because they can be used long term without replacing the prosthetic,
they have become a practical choice that takes into account tooth health, time, and cost.

Want to have it placed quickly?
One-day implant
If you want to have it placed quickly,
you can consider a one-day implant.
A one-day implant is a method in which the implant is placed
on the same day the tooth is extracted, along with a temporary prosthetic.
It may be suitable for those who do not have much time or want to return to daily life quickly,
and it can only be considered when there is sufficient jawbone and no inflammation.
Shorter treatment period & fewer visits
The overall process can be completed faster than with a standard implant.
Minimized gum bone resorption
Immediate placement after extraction may help reduce bone resorption.
Reduced psychological and cosmetic burden
Because a temporary prosthetic can restore appearance,
it may help reduce stress.
Whether it is possible should be determined through a precise diagnosis and 충분한 consultation,
and at Lucid Dental Clinic, we propose a stable treatment plan tailored to each individual's oral condition.

A precise and less burdensome procedure,
What is a navigation implant?
A navigation implant is a digital implant method in which,
based on oral data captured with 3D CT,
a simulated surgery is performed in advance on a computer,
and the placement position and angle are planned according to the individual's jawbone structure and nerve location.
A custom guide is produced so that the implant can be placed accurately at the planned position,
which helps reduce errors and improve precision during the actual procedure.
Compared with the conventional incision method,
this approach requires a smaller gum incision area, which means less pain, swelling, and bleeding,
faster recovery, and easier return to daily life after the visit.
In addition, it can reduce unnecessary bone grafting or additional incisions,
helping to lower the overall burden of the procedure.
At Lucid Dental Clinic, after a precise analysis of the patient's condition,
we design safer and more predictable implant treatment through a navigation system.

Lucid Dental Clinic recommends implants for people like this.
▪️People who have been uncomfortable for a long time due to a tooth gap
If eating or pronunciation is inconvenient, and you feel that the surrounding teeth are even becoming loose,
you can expect functional recovery through implants.
▪️People who have lost teeth due to cavities or trauma
If you want to restore not just a simple prosthetic but function and appearance similar to natural teeth,
this may be a suitable choice.
▪️People who want treatment completed in a short time
If you want efficient treatment despite a busy schedule such as work or wedding preparation,
Lucid Dental Clinic's systematic care may be helpful.
▪️People who have strong fear of dental treatment or worry about pain
We help reduce tension so that you can receive treatment in a comfortable environment
with gentle consultation.
▪️People who find dentures uncomfortable or want a natural-tooth-like feel
If you want teeth that allow you to chew and speak naturally without a foreign-body sensation,
this can be a good alternative.
▪️People who want ongoing care for healthy teeth even after an implant
If you want continued oral health management after the procedure,
stable maintenance is possible through Lucid Dental Clinic's aftercare system.
At Lucid Dental Clinic, we provide a systematic process from customized diagnosis
to digital-based procedures and aftercare.
Not only basic post-extraction implants, but also immediate placement,
bone grafting, and full-arch implants are available according to various situations.
In addition, to help the implant function like your own tooth,
we carefully guide you through management after placement, including regular checkups and scaling.
If you have been experiencing unspoken discomfort and stress due to lost teeth,
don't just keep worrying—get professional consultation.

comfortable meals, and a confident daily life.
