When considering implants, the first things many people check are
implant cost, implant type, and treatment duration.
However, what is more important than these factors
is which medical professional provides the treatment.
Not every dental clinic provides all treatments in the same way!
This is because the areas of dentistry are divided into specialties, ranging from
treatments that preserve natural teeth
to gum treatment, orthodontics, prosthetic treatment, and surgical procedures.
For example, you may visit a dental clinic because an impacted wisdom tooth hurts
and be told that the extraction is difficult.
This is not necessarily because the dental clinic is lacking,
but because wisdom tooth extraction falls within oral and maxillofacial surgery
and is a high-difficulty treatment.
Then, which specialty is related to implants?
Let us take a detailed look at
the dental specialties and treatment areas needed for implants
that are useful to know before receiving implant treatment!
Dentistry is not simply a field that treats teeth.
It is a medical field that covers the entire oral and facial region, including
teeth, gums, periodontal tissues, jawbones, and the temporomandibular joints.
Dental specialties are broadly divided as follows:
Conservative Dentistry
Periodontics
Oral Medicine
Orthodontics
Prosthodontics
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Pediatric Dentistry
Because each field focuses on different
treatment areas,
if you are looking for an implant-focused dental clinic in Gangnam,
it is important to check whether the clinic has expertise suited to your treatment goals!
Conservative dentistry
is a specialty that aims to preserve natural teeth as much as possible.
In addition to treating cavities, root canals, and restoring teeth,
it also treats conditions related to the nerves inside teeth, periapical diseases, and tooth discoloration.
When general treatment is insufficient,
treatments such as tooth replantation or apicoectomy
may be performed to preserve natural teeth.
In other words, before placing an implant,
this specialty first determines whether there is a way
to preserve the natural tooth.
Periodontics is the field specializing in treating the gums and jawbone
that support the teeth, as well as periodontal tissues.
It treats gum recession, periodontitis, insufficient jawbone, and periodontal tissue regeneration,
and is closely related to implant treatment.
This is because implants are not simply a matter of placing artificial teeth;
stable maintenance of the jawbone and surrounding tissues
is necessary to expect a successful outcome.
Oral medicine is the field that diagnoses and treats
various conditions occurring in the temporomandibular joints and inside the mouth.
It treats temporomandibular joint disorders, jaw muscle pain, bruxism,
snoring and sleep apnea, orofacial pain, and oral mucosal diseases.
Before and after implant treatment,
when the condition of the temporomandibular joints or bite also needs to be evaluated,
an oral medicine diagnosis may be helpful.
Orthodontics is the specialty that improves tooth alignment
and malocclusion.
It addresses not only crooked teeth,
but also malocclusion such as protruding teeth, a receding chin, and a prognathic jaw,
as well as problems with the jaw and facial structure that arise during growth.
Orthodontic treatment may also be used when tooth alignment or bite adjustment is needed before implants.
Prosthodontics is the field specializing in prostheses
that replace missing teeth.
Its main treatment areas include the
fabrication and management of crowns, bridges, dentures, and implant prostheses.
Although implant placement is important,
it is also essential to complete a prosthesis that takes the patient's bite and appearance into account.
Therefore, expertise in prosthodontics is very important.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the field responsible for
surgical treatment of the mouth, jaws, and face.
It covers a broad range of procedures, from
surgical treatments such as wisdom tooth extraction, implant placement, and bone grafting
to orthognathic surgery and jaw and facial reconstruction.
In particular, during implant placement,
the condition of the jawbone, the location of nerves, and the direction of placement
must be assessed accurately.
This requires surgical expertise.
Pediatric dentistry is the field specializing in managing
the teeth and oral structures of growing children.
In addition to managing primary teeth, permanent teeth, and mixed dentition,
it also provides behavior management for child patients
and dental treatment for patients with disabilities.
When looking for
a nearby implant-focused dental clinic in Gangnam,
you will often come across the term “specialist.”
However, not every dentist is a specialist.
A dentist is a healthcare professional who graduates from a dental school or graduate school of dentistry,
passes the national examination,
and obtains a dentist's license.
In contrast, a dental specialist is a healthcare professional who,
after obtaining a dentist's license,
completes a designated period of specialized training
and passes the specialist examination administered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
In other words, a specialist is
a dentist with additional education and training experience
in a particular field!
Implants are not simply a treatment in which an artificial tooth is placed.
Several steps are required, from determining whether a tooth can be preserved
to checking the condition of the jawbone, performing implant placement surgery, and fabricating the final prosthesis.
Therefore, when looking for a nearby implant-focused dental clinic in Gangnam,
you should check whether it has expertise in the following three fields.
This specialty determines whether natural teeth can be preserved before implant treatment
and provides the necessary conservative treatment.
These specialties handle surgical treatments such as assessing the condition of the jawbone,
placing implants, and performing bone grafting.
This specialty fabricates the final prosthesis
that is placed on the inserted implant
and completes the bite and appearance.
Implant treatment is not completed simply because one stage is performed well.
From preserving natural teeth to surgery and prosthetics,
the entire treatment plan must be connected
in order to expect a satisfactory outcome!
Situations requiring implants often involve
multiple issues, such as aging, periodontal disease, and tooth loss.
Therefore, rather than simply comparing the number of implants or the products used,
it is important to choose a medical team that can comprehensively assess the patient's oral condition
and establish a treatment plan.
Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic
works collaboratively with specialists in prosthodontics,
oral and maxillofacial surgery,
and conservative dentistry
to establish an implant treatment plan suited to each patient's condition.
In addition, the clinic's chief director is a prosthodontic specialist
who provides implant and prosthetic treatment
based on extensive clinical experience.
Implant treatment is not simply a way to fill one missing tooth;
it is the process of creating
a new tooth that will be used for a long time.
We hope you find the treatment method that suits you
through sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis.
A new smile, a new beginning, a new start.
