Hello, this is Jonggak Station Dental Clinic. Today, we would like to provide detailed information about implant treatment, which is what many patients are most curious about. We hope this will be helpful for those who have lost teeth or are struggling with severe cavities. First, let us explain the cases in which implants are needed. The first is tooth loss. Treatment can be considered when a tooth has been completely lost due to an accident or illness. There are also cases where teeth are lost because extraction is performed when severe cavities make preservation no longer possible. The same applies to periodontal disease. If a tooth has been left untreated for a long time and becomes loose, or if bone loss is severe, you may also consider implants. Some people who have already been treated with dentures but feel uncomfortable using them may choose to get implants again.

Among implant treatments, today we will look at the digital method. First, this method is carried out based on precise diagnosis and planning. After accurately assessing the oral condition through 3D CT and an oral scanner, a computer simulation is used to select the most suitable position. In addition, time savings can be expected. Because a digital guide is used, the overall procedure time is shortened. It is also worth noting that the amount of gum incision is small, allowing for faster recovery.

There are several types of implants depending on the materials used and the procedure method. We have summarized the information that Jonggak Station Dental Clinic explains most often to patients.
-
Titanium implants: The most commonly used material, with excellent biocompatibility and proven stability over long-term use.
-
Zirconia implants: Excellent in aesthetics and suitable for patients with metal allergies. Because they are white, they may be advantageous for people with thin gums.
-
Ceramic implants: Closest in color to natural teeth and mainly used in areas where aesthetics are important, such as the front teeth.

Many people are also curious about the implant procedure. Jonggak Station Dental Clinic will explain the process step by step.
-
Initial consultation and examination: A 3D CT scan and oral examination are performed to check the bone condition and oral condition.
-
Treatment planning: Digital technology is used to plan the implant position and angle.
-
Implant placement: This is the process of making an incision in the gum and placing the implant into the jawbone.
-
Osseointegration period: This is the time during which the implant and bone bond, usually taking 2–6 months.
-
Abutment connection: The abutment that connects the implant and the prosthetic is attached.
-
Prosthetic placement: The artificial tooth (crown) is finally placed.

Everyone, implant treatment does not end with just one procedure. To use it for a long time, consistent care is essential. So what kinds of care are needed? First of all, thorough oral hygiene is important. You should pay special attention to the area around the implant and brush and floss carefully, and it is also important to visit the dental clinic regularly for checkups. It is also good to correct bad habits from daily life. Please avoid behaviors that place stress on the implanted tooth, such as chewing hard foods or grinding your teeth. Finally, Jonggak Station Dental Clinic advises that you should reduce smoking. This is because smoking increases the risk of peri-implantitis.

The suitability of implants can vary depending on an individual’s oral condition. So let us also explain what is good to check in advance before treatment. First, there must be enough bone for placement. If there is insufficient bone, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be needed. Also, during consultation, if you are taking medication or have systemic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, be sure to inform the medical staff, as consultation is essential.

Implants are a treatment that offers new hope to many people struggling with tooth loss. Since many people experience improvements after implants in areas such as chewing ability and aesthetics, we hope that those of you reading this article will also look into it in detail, receive treatment, and regain a healthy mouth as soon as possible :) Thank you!
