This is a review of the implant treatment process and personal experience!!

I will talk about the process of implant treatment and my experience with dental implants~

When getting an implant, have thorough consultations about your concerns and questions, and be sure to carefully choose a reputable implant specialist hospital nearby.

 

 

Dad started getting implant treatment since last year.

When I received my previous implant treatment, I had it done at a nearby dental clinic I frequented, but I wasn't very satisfied, so this time I visited about three specialized implant hospitals to consult about implant treatment.

Based on my experience visiting three different dental clinics, although the surgical methods are similar, the costs, expertise, friendliness, and facilities vary, so be sure to compare 2-3 highly recommended clinics before choosing!

Since implant treatment is not a one-time procedure like a cavity, but requires significant time, duration, and financial investment, please choose carefully to see the benefits of implant treatment.

 

 

How does the implant consultation proceed?

First, we check the condition of the teeth using X-ray images, intraoral photographs, and other methods.

The procedure varies depending on the condition of the teeth before surgery, so it is necessary to carefully check the areas where implants are needed.

Whether an implant can be performed depends on the condition of the gums~

 

 

And please have the consultation nurse explain the condition of your teeth and provide detailed information on how and what methods will be used for the surgery. Feel free to ask any questions you have at this time.

Number of teeth to be operated on, treatment duration, treatment cost, treatment method, implant placement~

It seems that the price can be adjusted when treating multiple implants. Please try to adjust it well~

 

 

Let me explain how the implant surgery is performed~

First, apply local anesthesia in the mouth, then make an incision in the gum and detach the soft tissue.
And create space by drilling a hole in the tooth below the gum for implant placement~

This is a procedure where, after placing the implant, a cover screw is attached, the soft tissue that has been separated is adjusted, and then sutured.

The expected duration for an implant procedure is about 20-30 minutes per implant, and it may vary depending on additional surgeries such as bone grafting or sinus elevation.

 

 

 

Initially, when extracting the existing teeth for implant treatment, you need to continuously apply cold compresses on the day of the implant due to swelling and pain. The hospital will prescribe antibiotics and painkillers. Additionally, you should rinse with mouthwash twice a day for a week.

Due to bleeding from the extracted tooth, I have been biting on gauze for about 2 hours. Since a lot of blood is coming out of the gauze, I need to change it about 3-4 times. On the day of tooth extraction, the pain is severe, making it hard to speak and sleep well. You should avoid very hot or spicy foods and stick to light foods like porridge on the same day.

Getting an implant even once involves extracting the existing tooth, checking the condition of gum inflammation, and the gum regeneration period, making the surgical process really lengthy and costly.

There is pain, and initially, implant treatment requires a lot of time and effort.

Since implant procedures are lengthy and are used semi-permanently as dental devices, I hope you carefully research and choose so that the implant treatment goes well.
