If You’re Worried About Implant Side Effects, Gangnam Saero Dental’s Navigation Implant (Implant Pain)

If You’re Worried About Implant Side Effects

With Gangnam Saero Dental’s Navigation Implant

Minimizing implant swelling, implant bleeding, and implant pain

When the moment comes that you need an implant, many people’s first concern is not simply, “Will it go well?” It is the fear of implant swelling, implant bleeding, and implant pain that follow after surgery. You may worry that eating will be uncomfortable, that recovery will take a long time, or that side effects might occur, leaving you uneasy.

The surgical method that can help reduce these concerns even a little is the navigation implant. A navigation implant is a method that first predicts the exact position, depth, and angle where the implant should be placed in the bone through 3D simulation, and then creates a customized surgical guide so that the plan can be reproduced as is.

In other words, because the procedure is carried out only after determining in advance “where and how it should be placed for the safest outcome,” it is very helpful in minimizing implant swelling, implant bleeding, and implant pain. In addition, the correct position, direction, and depth affect not only pain reduction, but also side effect prevention and the long-term survival rate of the implant.

What Is a Navigation Implant?

A navigation implant is a precision surgical system based on 3D digital modeling and virtual reality-based simulation.

Even before surgery, it is possible to check and plan all of the following:

1. Placement position

2. Placement angle

3. Placement depth

4. Surrounding nerve and blood vessel structures

5. Density and thickness of the jawbone

Because of this, predictability of the results is very high.

So even if each patient has different teeth alignment, bone shape, and gum condition, it becomes possible to carry out the implant treatment that is most optimized for that person.

What Makes Navigation Implants Different

The differences from regular implants can be clearly seen as follows.

Regular implant

Method: Refers to patient data, but the actual placement relies mainly on the clinician’s visual judgment and sense

Predictability: Limited ability to predict the surgical process and results

Time: Incision, then confirmation, and if necessary re-incision → longer recovery period

Navigation implant

Method: Surgical guide created after 3D simulation based on patient data

Predictability: The surgical process and results can be checked in advance before surgery

Time: Possible to place the implant using a flapless method without incision → shorter recovery period

In other words,

the navigation method is a way to “check in advance everything that would normally only be known after surgery.”

Advantages of Navigation Implants

1. Improved accuracy

Because the placement is based on simulation,

it is possible to approach the bone condition, nerve position, and angle without error

2. Improved ability to respond to variables

Potential risk factors are identified in advance,

reducing sudden situations during surgery

3. Minimization of side effects

Errors in position, depth issues, and excessive incision can cause

gum and bone loss, pain, bleeding, and more to be greatly reduced

→ As a result, time and cost are saved

4. Smooth communication

Because the simulation screen is reviewed together with the patient,

the understanding of treatment is higher and trust is improved

Navigation Implant Treatment Process

Gangnam Saero Dental’s navigation implant is carried out through the following precise process.

1. Digital scan of oral structure with an oral scanner

Tiny details of the teeth alignment and gums are converted directly into 3D data.

2. 3D analysis of the face, jawbone, and nerve positions

Using state-of-the-art equipment, the thickness, density, and nerve positions of the bone that are difficult to see with the eye are analyzed accurately.

3. Virtual surgery using simulation software

The placement angle, size, and depth are tested in advance. If necessary, the plan is redesigned in a safer direction.

4. Custom surgical guide production

A precise mold is created so the simulation can be reproduced exactly.

5. Flapless implant placement using the guide

Because placement is possible without incision, implant swelling, implant bleeding, and implant pain are dramatically reduced. Recovery is also much faster than with a regular implant.

Navigation Implants at Gangnam Saero Dental

Gangnam Saero Dental performs accurate diagnosis for navigation implants based on advanced system equipment. Gangnam Saero Dental, with precision 3D analysis, digital orthodontics and implants based on oral scanners, extensive surgical experience from specialist medical staff, an award in the implant-specialized hospital category, and a record of being selected as an excellent implant institution.

Implants are a treatment that should be used for 20 years after one procedure, and in some cases for 30 years or more.

That is why an accurate first surgery is even more important.

Gangnam Saero Dental aims for implant results that can be used for a long time while minimizing side effects and reducing concerns about reoperation, and provides customized treatment that takes into account each patient’s different anatomical conditions.
