Maximum efficiency in the shortest time and shortest period

In modern society, surgery is not simply treatment,

but an important event in life.

Unlike a simple procedure, surgery

requires precise incision and suturing,

and because it also involves a recovery period,

it inevitably takes a lot of time.

Implants, too, are often thought of lightly

because they give the impression of being a “dental treatment,”

but in reality, they are a treatment that requires a delicate surgical process and a recovery period.

So then, for implant surgery,

how long does it take,

and what are the ways to shorten the period?

Let’s take a closer look.

Implant surgery process and duration

To understand why implants

take a long time,

you need to look at the process.

Consultation and treatment planning

A customized plan is made by checking the patient’s oral condition, amount of jawbone, overall health, and more.

Tooth extraction

If extraction is needed, about 3 months are required for the area to heal.

First surgery (fixture placement)

The gum is incised and the artificial root, called the fixture, is placed into the jawbone.

After that, the gum is sutured, and it takes about 3 months for “osseointegration,” the process by which the bone and implant firmly fuse together.

Second surgery (abutment connection)

The gum is opened again and an abutment, which serves as the post connecting the fixture and prosthetic, is attached.

Recovery takes about 2 to 3 months.

Artificial tooth (prosthetic) placement

The final prosthetic is fabricated and placed, and this process also requires about 2 to 3 months.

In summary, an implant is a long treatment that should be planned with an average of about 1 year in mind, from extraction to final prosthetic placement.

Implant period reduction 1. Promoting periodontal tissue regeneration

After implant surgery,

the most important process is osseointegration.

This process, in which the placed artificial root and the gum jawbone

fuse firmly into one,

typically takes more than 3 months.

If periodontal tissue regeneration is not smooth at this time,

the period may become longer,

and it can also become a cause of implant failure.

Therefore, from immediately after surgery,

management that promotes the recovery of the gums and bone is essential.

At Gangnam Saro Dental Clinic, we provide customized solutions for each patient so that recovery speed can be maximized through a variety of regenerative treatments that help the natural recovery of the gums and bone.

Implant period reduction 2. One-step implant

In general,

it takes about 9 months or more

to place an implant after extraction and then attach the prosthetic.

However, if the jawbone and gum shape are well preserved,

a one-step implant, in which the implant is placed at the same time as extraction,

is possible.

From extraction to implant placement and post connection,

completed in just one day

By preserving the gum tissue and the structures around the teeth as much as possible,

the recovery is fast and stable,

and because the surgical area is reduced, it helps decrease bleeding, swelling, and pain.

This method is very suitable for those who want a quick recovery in a busy daily life.

Implant period reduction 3. Navigation implant

If it is difficult to visit multiple times,

or if you want to dramatically shorten the treatment period,

a navigation implant is effective.

Conventional implant: takes at least 6 months

Navigation implant: can be completed in about 2 to 3 months

By planning the surgical path in advance using 3D data,

placement is possible at the planned depth and angle with reduced error, without incision.

This not only shortens the period,

but also helps reduce the risk of side effects

and extend the lifespan of the implant.

Gangnam Saro Dental Clinic’s differentiated approach to implant surgery

An implant is not simply the act of placing a replacement tooth.

Only by considering the patient’s oral structure, bone condition, and lifestyle

can a stable result be achieved.

Gangnam Saro Dental Clinic

establishes individualized treatment plans,

provides care that is responsible through the recovery process after surgery,

offers a variety of treatment options (immediate post-extraction implant, navigation implant, etc.),

and does its best to help patients ease concerns about

time, pain, and recovery,

and return to daily life quickly.

On average, implants

take about 1 year,

which is a complex process, but depending on the patient’s oral condition and treatment method,

the period can be reduced to less than half.

Through careful management that takes periodontal tissue regeneration into account,

a one-step implant performed at the same time as extraction,

and a navigation implant carried out with precise planning,

unnecessary time can be reduced.

If you are preparing for an implant,

don’t just stop at worrying about “how long will it take?”

Please check through a professional consultation

which method is right for your situation.
