Don't Get an Implant Lightly (Overtreatment in Implant Dentistry)

If you want to avoid unscrupulous dental clinics

Don't get an implant lightly

Overtreatment in implant dentistry

Implants are an innovative treatment for replacement teeth that are useful for improving appearance and restoring function,

but because they are a non-covered item,

they are a treatment with high out-of-pocket costs,

and some unscrupulous dental clinics

may subject them to overtreatment.

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic

places patients' comfort, condition, and circumstances

first in order to sincerely share ways to avoid overtreatment in implant dentistry.

� � Don't have an extraction carelessly

�

The reason for implants is the loss of natural teeth.

There are many reasons for the loss of natural teeth,

including situations where severe cavities have been left untreated and most of the tooth must be removed,

symptoms of loosening and falling out caused by severe periodontal disease,

and loss caused by trauma.

Among these, the cases in which overtreatment in implant dentistry often appears

can be said to be extractions due to periodontal disease and cavities.

If a dental clinic prioritizes preserving natural teeth,

they will avoid extraction even in such cases,

whereas a clinic that overtreats implant dentistry

may instead push for extraction because of periodontal disease and cavities

and even pressure patients into implant surgery.

Therefore, if you are told that an extraction is necessary

due to periodontal disease or cavities,

please also get a diagnosis from another hospital.

� � Be careful with bone grafting

�

The reason bone grafting is needed

is that the jawbone health is poor.

Just as natural teeth are firmly fixed by the jawbone,

implants are also fixed by the jawbone,

so if implant treatment is performed without bone grafting

in a state where jawbone health is poor,

various side effects such as implant dislodgement may occur.

Among these, overtreatment in implant dentistry often appears

when a diagnosis of jawbone grafting is made

even in places where jawbone grafting is not necessary.

On top of that,

the number of implants placed may also be increased.

Therefore, before bone grafting,

you should find a clinic that explains in detail

why such a diagnosis was made,

using appropriate treatment records.

� � Don't choose just any implant company

�

Since there are many companies that manufacture implants,

there are various brands.

Each implant company has its own design,

so products from different implant companies are not compatible with one another,

and each implant has its own distinct characteristics as well.

It is important to accurately examine the patient's condition

and apply the appropriate implant company.

The reason to be careful not only about overtreatment in implant dentistry

but also about poor-quality treatment becomes clear here.

If the implant companies available are limited,

then within those limited choices,

treatment may become inadequate.

Therefore, if the brands are limited,

a clinic that provides only the treatments it can reasonably perform is preferable,

and if a clinic has a wide variety of implant companies,

the scope of treatment can naturally become broader from the start.
