Up to a 6-month shorter treatment period

Same-day implants for the MZ generation

Implants for people in their 20s and 30s

People in their 20s and 30s, the MZ generation, do not usually need implants often,

but some may not have developed oral hygiene habits from a young age,

may have suffered trauma that required tooth extraction,

may have had a tooth extracted for orthodontic treatment and then stopped treatment,

or may experience tooth loss for other reasons.

For these people in their 20s and 30s,

implant treatment, which usually takes more than 6 months,

is often postponed for various reasons.

Since people in their 20s and 30s generally have healthy jawbone conditions,

I will explain

implants for people in their 20s

implants for people in their 30s

that can shorten the 6-month period, so I hope you will no longer delay treatment.

Side effects of leaving an extraction untreated

After a natural tooth is extracted,

if it is left without an implant,

various side effects can occur,

so it is recommended to have implant surgery

as soon as possible.

• Changes in facial appearance occur

• Chewing strength decreases

• Adjacent teeth and opposing teeth shift

• Jawbone is resorbed

• Becomes more vulnerable to periodontal disease

• In the case of the upper jaw, the maxillary sinus may collapse

Especially within 3 to 6 months after extraction, 3 to 4 mm

of jawbone and gum recession progresses,

depending on the condition of the jawbone,

same-day implants, where eligibility varies,

may no longer be possible.

Normally, the implant surgical process is

after 3 to 4 months have passed since extraction:

the first surgery, in which the artificial root (=fixture) is placed and sutured

and the second surgery, in which the incision site is opened and the abutment (=abutment) is attached to the artificial root

followed by the placement of the final prosthesis (=crown) that has been fabricated.

As you may already know,

this process usually requires about 6 months of treatment.

However, in the same-day implant surgical process,

the artificial root is placed immediately after extraction,

so the suturing process of the first surgery and the incision process of the second surgery are omitted,

making it possible to shorten the treatment period by up to 6 months.

To increase the success rate of same-day implants,

which are suitable for implants in people in their 20s and 30s,

expertise from medical staff skilled in bone grafting techniques and precise artificial root placement immediately after extraction is necessary.

Can I get an implant after orthodontic treatment?

One reason people in their 20s and 30s consider implants

may be orthodontics.

There are now many different aesthetically pleasing orthodontic appliances,

and many fast and precise orthodontic appliances as well,

so there may be many people in their 20s and 30s who have received orthodontic treatment,

are currently undergoing treatment,

or are planning it.

If orthodontic treatment has already been completed,

it is better to allow time until the jawbone, which is undergoing cellular metabolism due to tooth movement, becomes fully hardened.

If you need both implants for people in their 20s and 30s

and orthodontic treatment for people in their 20s and 30s,

it is recommended that orthodontic treatment come first,

but if there are unavoidable circumstances that require same-day implants to be done right away,

it is not an ideal condition for orthodontics,

but it is not an impossible condition either,

so please make this decision through consultation with experienced medical staff.

Do implants last a lifetime?

Another reason people in their 20s and 30s consider implants

may be the lifespan of the implant.

The known lifespan of implants

is generally said to be 10 to 30 years,

so people in their 20s and 30s may find implant surgery

even less efficient.

However, this is an average statistic,

and in the first case in implant history,

the procedure was used for 40 years,

and because the commercialization of implants in Korea

has only been around for 20 years,

the shorter lifespan of domestically manufactured implants is due to a lack of accumulated data,

not only implant maintenance but also oral hygiene management and follow-up care

should be given special attention,

and they can be used for a long time.

A dental clinic for college students and office workers
