You made a big decision to get the implant, so you must have felt relieved, thinking, "I'll be able to use this for the rest of my life." Unfortunately, even if it is properly implanted, if care is neglected or unexpected situations arise Implant removal There are times when you have to make a difficult decision. Today, we will look at why situations arise where well-placed implants must be removed, and what our bodies send danger signal I'll pinpoint exactly what it is! 1. What are the warning signs that dental implants send? 🦷 No implant falls out "suddenly." There are always warning signs! If a problem arises with an implant, it is highly likely that our body is already sending small signals. ⚠️ If you experience even one of the symptoms below, do not take it lightly. Changes in the gums Swollen gums or frequent bleeding when brushing teeth uncomfortable pain I feel a strange pain every time I chew food. Shake detection I feel like the implant is slightly loose. Foreign object jamming Food particles have started getting stuck much more than usual. Such changes can lead to the removal of implants childhood This could be the case, so do not ignore it and visit a dentist immediately for a check-up. 2. What are the main causes of implant removal? 🦷 The biggest enemies are 'inflammation' and 'lack of support'. Why do you have to remove implants that were difficult to implant? Here are the four main reasons. Peri-implantitis (Most common cause!): This is a phenomenon where inflammation occurs in the gums and bone surrounding the implant, causing the bone to erode. If left untreated, removal will eventually become inevitable. Lack of bone support : If the amount of gum bone supporting the implant is insufficient or its density decreases, the fixation weakens, and removal must be considered. Initial implant failure : This is a case where the bone and implant did not fuse properly in the early stages due to systemic health issues such as smoking or diabetes, or a lack of proper care. Occlusal problems : If chewing force is unevenly distributed, it can cause continuous damage to the bone surrounding the implant, leading to problems. 3. For implant removal, do I have to have all of them removed? 🦷 Depending on the situation, it may be resolved with 'partial measures'! You don't need to be afraid in advance that you might have to remove the entire thing. The method varies depending on the situation. ✅ Some measures possible : Minor issues, such as problems with the upper prosthesis or loose screws, can be resolved with simple measures. ✅ Total removal required : Surgical removal is necessary if the root (fixture) is damaged or if significant bone resorption has occurred due to severe inflammation. 4. How should I manage my diet safely after surgery? 🦷 🦷 Reducing irritation is the shortcut to a quick recovery! After removal or re-implantation, every single thing you eat is important. 🍴 Day 0: Stopping bleeding Focus on this! 🩸 1~3 days: While managing swelling Very soft liquid food Please eat. 4~7 days: Protein-rich foods like tofu and eggs soft regular food Starts. 1~2 weeks: Gradually Normal meal Go back, but avoid hard foods. FAQ Q1. Can I eat ice cream after implant surgery? ? A1. Yes, it is possible! In fact, cold stimulation can help relieve pain and swelling. 🍦 However, you must not eat too much. Q2. When can I start drinking coffee? ☕ A2. It is recommended to start taking it 2 to 3 days after surgery, and it is best to consume it lukewarm rather than too hot. Q3. Are alcohol and cigarettes really forbidden? 🍺🚬 A3. Yes, At least 1 to 2 weeks You must strictly prohibit this! It is the main culprit that slows recovery and drastically increases the risk of inflammation. 🚭 conclusion The lifespan of an implant is determined by 'attention'. Implant removal is not a misfortune that happens suddenly one day, The result of small problems accumulating no see. The difference between dismissing it with a "It feels a bit strange, but it should be okay?" attitude and thinking "Let's check it out" determines the lifespan of your implant. ✨ We hope you protect your precious implants for a long time through proper lifestyle habits, such as regular checkups, thorough brushing, and quitting smoking.

Check 'this' before going to the dentist! 👋 Please remember these three things before visiting the dentist: secure the fragment, check for nerve exposure, and do not neglect the problem! Although you may be flustered by a sudden accident, checking the checklist below first can significantly improve the treatment outcome. 🦷 Don't throw away tooth fragments! If the broken piece is large Physiological saline or milk Soak it in water and bring it back as soon as possible. Depending on the condition, reattachment may be possible. ⚠️Can you see the nerve? How is the pain? If the fractured area appears red or the sensitivity is severe, the nerve is exposed Emergency situation It could be. In this case, you must rush to the dentist without delay. 🚫 "It's just a little, it'll be fine, right?" Never neglect it! If bacteria penetrate even a tiny, barely visible gap Internal cavities or additional damage This can lead to medical expenses being several times higher later. 2. What is the perfect treatment for my dental condition? 👋 Depending on the extent of the damage, you must select the optimal method, ranging from resin to implants. Since teeth do not heal naturally once broken, a professional diagnosis is essential depending on the depth of the fracture. What if it's a slight crack or micro-damage? ➡️ [Resin] It is a method of filling with material that matches the color of the teeth. Immediate recovery on the same day The fact that it is possible is a big advantage! ✨ If you have moderate damage requiring shape improvement? ➡️ [Airnate / Laminate] It is effective when resin is insufficient. Especially Airate It restores broken areas precisely and naturally with almost no tooth removal. What if it is severe damage with more than half broken? ➡️ [Crown] If a root canal is necessary, the entire tooth needs to be protected by a sturdy crown. You can think of it as the tooth's 'armor'! 🛡️ What if the tooth is fractured all the way to the root? ➡️ [Implant] When a tooth cannot be saved, it must be extracted and the most natural-looking artificial tooth implanted to restore function. 3. What should I do to keep my treated front teeth strong for a lifetime? 👋 Maintenance is key for dental prosthetics! Your front tooth usage habits and regular checkups determine their lifespan. . There are promises you must keep to maintain your carefully treated front teeth for a long time. ✨ 🍎 Say goodbye to the habit of crunching with your front teeth! Prosthetics are more sensitive to impact than natural teeth. Chewing on ice, biting into an apple, breaking off tough meat It is best to avoid this. (Please cut into small pieces with a knife before eating!) 🪥 Oral assistive devices are a necessity, not an option! The boundary between the prosthesis and the gum is a vulnerable area prone to cavities. Please clean it thoroughly using an interdental brush or dental floss. 📅 Date the dentist every 6 months! By checking the adhesive condition through regular inspections, you can prevent sudden detachment or damage. ❓ FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions Q1. If I put the broken pieces back together, will it be as sturdy as before? ? A1. If the surface is clean, reattachment is possible, but the bonding strength will inevitably be weaker than that of the original tooth. If you consider durability and aesthetics Resin or airate It is often more advantageous to reinforce with this. Q2. The crack is really tiny, so it should be okay to just leave it, right? ? A2. Even a small scratch can cause the fractured area to gradually enlarge if chewing force is continuously applied. ⚠️ The sharp edges may cause injuries inside the mouth, so it is safer to trim them slightly or apply protective treatment. Q3. Can I eat right after treatment? ? A3. You can eat immediately after the procedure for resin or airnate! However, until it is fully established Avoid very hot or cold food, and sticky food on that day. Please don't forget to be considerate and avoid that! 😉 📝 conclusion Don't neglect your bright smile! As time passes, treating a broken front tooth becomes more complex and the financial burden increases. Are you feeling a little better? The time you want to can be the most dangerous.

It can be a natural phenomenon. Implant prostheses are secured by tightening screws or using special adhesive, and the issues that occur when we chew food Tremendous pressure because Over time, the screws may loosen slightly or the adhesive strength may weaken. 👉🏻 Natural phenomenon: This is not so much a surgical defect as something that can occur during chewing. 👉🏻 Simple solution: Simply visiting a dentist to tighten or reattach it is sufficient to resolve the issue. 👉🏻 Neglect is forbidden: If you feel anything unusual, do not hesitate to see a medical professional immediately! ✏️Why is personalized design necessary for dental implants? 👉🏻 This is to prevent bacterial invasion and minimize food particles getting stuck. .

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. They came for an implant consultation and unexpected Maxillary sinus lift Have you ever been flustered after hearing that? It is natural to worry, asking, "Can't we just plant it?" or "Isn't this overtreatment?" Today, we will look at why this unfamiliar term appears, and Why it is essential for implant success I'll get straight to the point! 📌 1. Maxillary Sinus Lift: What Exactly Is the 'Maxillary Sinus'? 🦷 The maxillary sinus is a space like an 'air sac' inside our upper jaw. location: It is the area just above the upper molars, next to the nose. role: It is a normal structure that lightens the weight of the head and helps with breathing. Problem occurred: When a tooth is lost, the bone thins and decreases in height, causing this maxillary sinus space to descend. 💡 A word from the Director: The bone in the upper molar area is naturally thin, so if a tooth is lost, there is quickly insufficient space to place an implant. 2. What kind of surgery is a maxillary sinus lift? 🦷 It is the process of lifting the descended maxillary sinus membrane to create 'soil' for the implant to be placed in. . principle : To secure the reduced bone height, the maxillary sinus membrane is slightly lifted. method : Bone graft material is filled into that empty space to allow the implant to be firmly fixed. 3. Why is this procedure absolutely necessary? 🦷 This is because proceeding forcefully when there is insufficient bone can lead to implant failure. . Decreased stability : The screw may loosen or wobble due to insufficient fixing force. serious side effects : Failure of osseointegration can cause the implant to fall out, or in the worst case, the implant may fall into the maxillary sinus. Risk factors : In this case, the risk of inflammation and infection increases, making treatment much more difficult. 4. What are the risks of surgery pain or precautions? 🦷 The surgery is performed under light anesthesia, so there is almost no pain during the procedure; please do not worry too much! Pain level : There may be swelling or a feeling of pressure for about 2 to 3 days after surgery, but it is not significantly different from a standard procedure. ⚠️ Essential Precautions : The maxillary sinus is connected to the nose, so proper care is really important! Do not blow your nose hard (Open your mouth when sneezing!) Avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid strenuous exercise. 5. Why do cost differences occur? 🦷 This is because the condition of the bone and the difficulty of the procedure vary from patient to patient. Determinants : It depends on the amount of remaining bone, the type of graft material, the complexity of the surgery, etc. Important point : It is much more economical to prevent re-operation or failure than to pay the immediate cost. FAQ Q1. Is a maxillary sinus lift absolutely necessary for everyone? ? A1. No. It is not necessary if there is sufficient bone in the upper molars, but it is essential if the bone is too thin and there is a risk that the implant will be exposed. Q2. Is it possible to have a nosebleed after surgery? ? A2. Since the area connected to the nose is treated, you may experience a runny nose mixed with a little blood for a few days, but if you do not blow your nose forcefully and follow the instructions carefully, you will recover steadily. conclusion A solid foundation for successful implants Implants are not simply about implanting teeth, Treatment that builds a foundation for long-term use no see. Maxillary sinus lift surgery is not a means to increase costs, but rather helps maintain your precious implants without problems in the long term. safety device no see.

hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ As you get older, dental and gum problems are a difficult concern to avoid. In fact, there are many people who visit the clinic heartbroken after losing more than half of their teeth. In the past, many people used dentures, but nowadays, they prefer implants because they provide good chewing power and cause less foreign body sensation. However, proceeding with almost no teeth Full implant Since the physical and financial burden is significant, a more precise plan is required. ✏️ Why is precise diagnosis so important for full body implants? ? As this is a highly complex surgery involving the implantation of 15 to 20 implants in the upper and lower jaws, meticulous planning is essential. Full dental implants are a major surgery that goes beyond simply implanting a few teeth to reconstructing the entire oral cavity. Because the scope of the surgery is wide Implant location perfectly suited to the individual's oral structure and gum condition Deciding on that is the key. Director's Tip! To restore chewing power similar to natural teeth and use them comfortably for a long time, the first step, the 'diagnosis,' must be accurate. ✏️ If you forcefully save a bad tooth, it can actually be harmful. ? 👉🏻Insisting on using teeth that are in poor condition can lead to the need for implant revision surgery, so caution is required. Many people say, "I want to save even one more of my teeth," but if you forcibly leave behind a tooth with severe inflammation... Inflammation can spread to the newly implanted implant. As a result, if you have to undergo revision surgery, it will cost twice as much time and money. • Checkpoint Based on the diagnosis of an expert with over 190,000 implantation data points, there are times when bold decisions are necessary for long-term success. ✏️ What is the 'principled treatment' that Toktok Plant insists on? ? 👉🏻 We ensure long-term stability with customized abutment teeth and high-strength zirconia. The implant procedure proceeds in the order of implanting a fixture into the gum bone, connecting an abutment, and then placing a prosthesis. The most important thing at this time is The fixation of the body firmly into the bone It is. If there is a bone deficiency, a bone graft must be performed to ensure long-term stability. • Materials used We tailored to each patient's gum line Custom abutment Reduced worry about fracture strong Zirconia prostheses We are increasing durability by using 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. How long does the entire implant treatment usually take? A1. There are individual differences, but usually 3 to 6 months It takes about that long. The three months required for the fixture to firmly bond with the gum bone (osseointegration) is a necessary period of patience. You must go through this process properly to use it healthily for a lifetime. Q2. Is it absolutely necessary to have an incision and bone graft? A2. If there is sufficient bone, a non-incisional procedure is possible, but, Most of them are for the lifespan of the implant Sufficient bone graft This is necessary do. To create a sturdy foundation, the necessary areas must be properly incised and the bone meticulously filled in. Q3. How long does an implant last? A3. If you plant it properly according to the principles and the patient manages it meticulously semi-permanent use This is possible. If standard treatment and aftercare based on 190,000 data points are combined, it can easily last for decades. 🔹 Conclusion: A choice that changes your quality of life A choice that changes your quality of life Implants are not simply tools for chewing food, The process of rebuilding your quality of life no see.

It is perfectly natural for a patient to worry, "Will it hurt?" or "What if there are side effects?" However, this vague anxiety is Precise plan You can lower it sufficiently through this. The key is to comprehensively assess the patient's oral condition to minimize irritation and find the most ideal position. ✏️ How does Ttokttok Plant Dental Clinic utilize its 190,000 data points to help set implantation paths? 👉🏻The key is a scientific approach that considers the 'dispersion of force' rather than planting a lot. The real goal of the implant It is to regain chewing function like natural teeth and keep them strong for a long time. To do that, rather than the number of implants How evenly the load transmitted to the implant is distributed That is really important. • The risk of minute errors Even a slight deviation in the implantation position or angle can cause force to be concentrated on a specific area, potentially leading to peri-implantitis or breakage of the prosthesis. • Objective analysis At Toktok Plant Dental Clinic, about 190,000 accumulated implant data We have. • three-dimensional diagnosis We analyze anatomical information obtained from 3D CT together with this vast data to establish the optimal path by comprehensively considering bone density, nerve canal location, and occlusal relationships. 📌 Data does not lie.

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. While eating a meal as usual, suddenly the implant It feels like it just popped out. Whenever a tooth comes in or I chew A 'rattling' unfamiliar feeling Have you ever felt it? Especially since this situation happened to cause the hospital to close. weekends or late nights You would be very flustered if it happened. 😰 "Is this completely broken?", "Should I go to the emergency room right away?" For those who are concerned, ✨ today Actions You Must Never Do When an Implant Screw Loosens and the Correct Ways to Respond to Them for Each Situation We will summarize it for you in an easy-to-understand way! 1. Why do implant screws suddenly become loose? ? 🦷 This is because the 'screw' securing the prosthesis has loosened due to various causes. Implants are not simply a single unit, but are embedded within the gum bone Artificial root (fixture) , column (abutment) , and visible Prosthetics (crowns) It consists of the structure of What binds them tightly is the 'screw' is. 🔩 📌 The screw may come loose for these reasons! Chewing pressure: When excessive chewing force is concentrated on only one side Oral habits: The habit of grinding or clenching one's teeth unconsciously Wear and tear and aging: If the screw itself is worn out due to long-term use Initial fixation force: Rarely, when initial bonding strength was slightly insufficient or bone fusion was unstable 2. If an implant screw comes loose, do I absolutely have to have it re-implanted? ? 🦷 Don't worry! As long as the root (fixture) is intact, simply tightening the screws again will solve the problem. Many people ask, "If it loosens, doesn't that mean the implant is ruined?" but fortunately... Re-implantation is not always necessary. ✅ The situation is broadly divided into two types. In the case where only the screw is loose : The fixture is firmly attached to the bone and Only the prosthesis placed on top is loose It is. At the dental clinic It can be easily solved by simply tightening it again. It works! ✨ Problems with the entire structure : If acting as a root If the fixture itself is shaking Additional treatment or re-implantation may be necessary. Therefore, shaking is felt Early response Doing so is the smartest way to reduce the scope of treatment. 3. What should you absolutely never do when an implant is loose? ? 🦷 Attempting to fix it could actually completely ruin the implant. ⚠️ This is absolutely forbidden! Direct screw tightening: If you use tools or screwdrivers found at home screw threads The ('wavy grooves etched into the screw') may be damaged, rendering it completely unusable. ❌ Use super glue: This is a surprisingly common mistake! If you apply adhesive, the prosthesis will become impossible to remove later. You might have to smash even your perfectly good prosthetics and make new ones. 😱 Continue eating as is: If you continue to chew while it is rattling, the internal structures may wear down, or in the worst case, even the fixture inside the bone may be damaged. 4. I can't go to the dentist because it's the weekend. What should I do right now? ? 🦷 Don't panic, just remember two things: 'protection' and 'storage'. If you are unable to visit the hospital immediately, please make sure to follow the steps below by Monday morning. Stop using the affected area : Minimize chewing, and absolutely Eating only on the opposite side Do it. 🍽️ Consume soft foods : It is recommended to focus on liquid foods that require minimal chewing, such as porridge, soup, and tofu. Keep the missing prosthesis clean. : If the crown has completely fallen out, please keep it safe so you don't lose it and be sure to bring it with you when you visit! 📥 Quick booking : You need to find a dental clinic that is open on weekends, or schedule an appointment as soon as Monday arrives. 5. What problems arise if a loose implant screw is left untreated? ? 🦷 What could have been prevented with a hoe might end up requiring a shovel. That is why regular inspections are essential! If you ignore the slight shaking and keep using it, you will eventually pay a heavy price. 😢 Damaged parts : The screw may wear out or the connecting post (abutment) may break. Bone resorption progress : A loose prosthesis can cause continuous irritation to the gums, leading to the surrounding bone dissolving. Risk of re-surgery : In the end, it was a problem that could be solved simply by tightening. Major surgery to extract and re-implant implants It may lead to. 🔸 ✨ Preventive measures for long-lasting durability! Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes 🪥 Check the screw tightening status every time through regular checkups If you grind your teeth, wear a splint. FAQ Q1. I tried putting the fallen prosthesis back in, and it fits perfectly. Can I just use it as is? ? A1. No! Even if it appears to fit on the outside, food particles can enter through tiny gaps and cause inflammation, or it may slip out quickly due to being unable to withstand chewing forces, potentially damaging the inside. ⚠️ It must be fixed at a dental clinic using specialized tools. Q2. Are there people whose implant screws frequently come loose? ? A2. Those who chew very hard or enjoy tough foods, or those who have a habit of grinding their teeth severely while sleeping, may experience screws loosening relatively more frequently. In this case, it is recommended to shorten the interval between regular checkups. conclusion Loose implant screws are an 🚨'emergency signal' sent by our body. It might be disconcerting because it appeared suddenly, but in most cases, it is a phenomenon that develops as small abnormalities accumulate. Don't panic even if it happens on the weekend! The most important thing is Seek a specialist quickly after stopping use, without touching it directly. no see. Implants are just as important as they are to be implanted properly.

이현섭 원장26.04.08Views 451Likes 2 [Health Column] If You Feel Implant Movement or Wobbling? Why You Shouldn't Just Leave It Alone[8]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Even those who have been using their implants comfortably for a long time may one day suddenly get the feeling, "Huh? It feels like something is moving slightly..." It looks fine on the outside and there is little pain, so it is easy to dismiss it as insignificant, but this is a very important signal from our body. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way why this phenomenon occurs and why you should absolutely never leave it untreated. ✨ 1. Can implant movement be normal? To start with the conclusion, a normal implant never moves. Our natural teeth have a cushioning tissue called the 'periodontal ligament' that allows for slight movement, but implants are structured to be firmly fixed directly to the jawbone. Therefore, if you feel even the slightest shaking or movement, it is a definite sign that there is a problem somewhere, so you must identify the cause. 2. What are the main causes of dental implants becoming loose? From gum inflammation to loose screws, the causes are more diverse than you might think. 1️⃣ Peri-implantitis (most common cause) ⚠️ If inflammation occurs in the surrounding area, the gums and bone are damaged, weakening the fixation. Since implants lack nerves, pain appears late; therefore, if you feel movement even without swelling, it is highly likely that the condition is already progressing. 2️⃣ Loose screws (surprisingly common) 🔩 An implant consists of a root (fixture), a connection (abutment), and a prosthesis (crown). If this internal screw loosens, only the upper prosthesis can wobble even if the root is intact. While it can often be easily resolved by retightening, please be careful as leaving it unattended can damage the structure! 3️⃣ Bone fusion problems 🦷 This is a case where 'osseointegration,' the process of the implant firmly bonding with the bone, did not occur properly. It can be affected if you have low bone density or systemic diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis. 4️⃣ Excessive force (teeth grinding, chewing habits) 💪 Implants do not have the function of absorbing shock. If habits such as clenching your teeth or enjoying hard foods are repeated, microscopic damage accumulates and eventually causes them to become loose. 3. What happens if I just leave slight shaking alone? ? 🦷 Ignoring small vibrations is the most dangerous choice. . 📌 Progression stages if left untreated Slight shaking occurs The surrounding bone is gradually absorbed The fixation force weakened rapidly. at last Implant failure and need for re-implantation 😱 The very moment you feel, "It seems to be wavering a little," is actually the golden time for treatment. 4. In what cases should I go to the dentist without delay? ? 🦷 Even if you do not experience pain, you need to get a check-up immediately if you have any of the following symptoms. . ✔️ When you feel a wobbly sensation while chewing food ✔️ When the implant moves when force is applied in a specific direction ✔️ When you feel like food keeps getting stuck between your implants ✔️ When your gums frequently swell or feel uncomfortable 5. Can you check or resolve this yourself? ? 🦷Absolutely forbidden! Touching or pressing with your hands will worsen the condition. Forcing yourself to click on information found on the internet is really dangerous. Since treatment methods vary completely depending on the cause, an accurate diagnosis by a specialist is essential. [ Examples of Treatment Methods by Cause ] ✔️Screw problem ➡️ Simple stock fixing ✔️Inflammation problem ➡️ gum treatment ✔️Structural problem ➡️ Prosthetic replacement ✔️Root problem ➡️ implant re-implantation 6. Preventive measures to ensure implants last a long time ? 🦷 You can maintain stability for a long time with just proper basic maintenance. ✨ . ✅ Regular dental checkups are essential! ✅ Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes ✅ Controlling smoking and drinking ✅ If you grind your teeth, wear a protective device. ✅ Avoid hard and chewy foods FAQ Q1. My implant is loose, but it doesn't hurt. I don't need to go in a hurry, right? ? A1. No! Since implants do not have nerves, there are many cases where there is no pain even if the bone erodes. Even if you do not feel pain, if you can feel movement, it means the problem has already started, so you should get a checkup as soon as possible. Q2. If the screw is loose, can't I fix it at home? ? A2. Absolutely not. The inside of the implant has a precise structure, so touching it without specialized instruments can damage the internal structure. If you visit a dental clinic, it can be easily re-tightened, so please leave it to the experts. conclusion Implant movement is a 'warning signal' from our body. Whether an implant lasts a lifetime depends on how it is maintained. If you feel even the slightest change, checking it right now is the fastest way to protect your precious implant. 📌 Please do not miss even the slightest warning signs, and maintain healthy teeth through regular checkups!

Have you ever been worried because you looked in the mirror after implant treatment and your face looked more swollen than usual? 🦷 Especially if you are having implant surgery for the first time, even small changes can feel more significant. but Swelling of the implant itself is often a natural reaction that occurs during the recovery process. The important thing is, this swelling Is it within the normal range to wait? , or not Is it a signal that needs to be checked again? It is to distinguish. Today, I will summarize those criteria a little more simply! 1. Why does implant swelling occur? 🦷 This is a temporary reaction that may occur during the recovery process of the surgical site. During the implant surgery process, a small drilling is performed in the jawbone along with an incision in the gum. During this process, gum tissue, microvessels, and surrounding soft tissues are irritated, and the body triggers an inflammatory response to recover. At this time, as blood flow increases, the area around the surgery site may appear temporarily swollen, which can be considered implant swelling. In other words, swelling in many cases is It is a sign that recovery is progressing rather than that the surgery went wrong. It can be understood as. For example, there are cases where you feel your face looks a little more swollen after returning home or the next morning than immediately after surgery. In times like this, rather than immediately concluding it is more than ideal First, examine whether the change is within the recovery flow. This is important. ✔️In conclusion, rather than being too alarmed when you first see swelling, Trend of change over the past few days It is recommended to look at it together. 2. When is implant swelling most severe? It is often more noticeable on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery than immediately after. Many people think that swelling is most severe on the day of surgery, but actually When swelling is most prominent on the 2nd or 3rd day There are many. Usually, it proceeds in the following flow. 🔹 Day of surgery → Swelling begins 🔹 2~3 days → Swelling peaks 🔹 4~5 days → Gradually decrease 🔹 1 week → Noticeable improvement in most cases Of course, there are individual differences in recovery speed. Depending on one's constitution or health condition, it may last for more than a week. Swelling may last a little longer, especially in the following cases. 🔸 Cases where bone grafting was performed concurrently 🔸 Cases where multiple implants are placed simultaneously 🔸 In cases of systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension 🔸 If you have a smoking habit For example, even if you undergo the same implant surgery, some people's implants subside quickly starting from the 4th or 5th day, while others' implants may take more than a week to fall out. so You need to be careful when simply comparing your recovery speed with that of others. 📌 Briefly checking the progress by date helps in assessing the condition. 3. How should I manage the implant to reduce swelling? The degree of swelling and the speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Post-surgery care is more important than you might think. This is because even with the same surgery, the degree of swelling and the recovery process can vary depending on the management method. 1. Cold compress for 48 hours after surgery Cold compresses are most important in the beginning. 10–15 minutes cold compress, 5–10 minutes rest Repeating this can help reduce swelling and bleeding. 2. Apply warm compresses after 2 to 3 days. Once the initial swelling subsides, you can help improve blood circulation through warm compresses. Warm compresses can help with tissue recovery and reduce inflammation. 3. Food and Lifestyle Management Lifestyle habits are also important for alleviating implant swelling. 🔸 Avoid hot and spicy foods 🔸 Temporarily pause intense workouts 🔸 Drink plenty of fluids 🔸 Take prescribed medication If you just follow these basic management steps, the recovery process can proceed much more stably. It’s not that it’s over once the surgery is finished, Management during the first few days can determine the course of recovery. It would be good if you understood it that way. 4. Which types of implant swelling require close monitoring? It is important to look at the accompanying signals rather than the swelling itself. Most swelling subsides naturally. ⚠️However, if the following symptoms appear together, it may not be just simple swelling. 🔸 If swelling continues to worsen 🔸 In cases of persistent severe pain 🔸 Bad breath or pus formation 🔸 Sensation of heat or fever In this case Possibility of peri-implantitis, hematoma, or infection Since this may occur, it is recommended to visit a dentist promptly to get checked. For example, if it feels fine at first but the swelling worsens and the pain intensifies over time, it is best not to simply dismiss it with the thought of "let's wait a little longer." This is because the recovery response generally tends to subside over time. Look at how the swelling is changing rather than whether there is swelling. If pain, heat, odor, and pus are present together, further investigation is required. 5. Why does implant swelling vary from person to person? Even with the same surgery, the recovery pattern can vary depending on your physical condition and the extent of the operation. Even after undergoing the same implant surgery, the degree of swelling varies from person to person. The main reasons are as follows. 🔸 Gum thickness 🔸 Jawbone Density 🔸 Surgical scope 🔸 Age 🔸 Immunity especially In cases where bone grafting was performed together Swelling may last longer than with regular implants. So rather than simply comparing with others, It is important to make a judgment based on your own recovery progress. For example, just because you hear someone say, “I got better in a few days,” you don’t need to immediately assume that your swelling is abnormal. This is because the recovery process can vary depending on the details of the surgery and the physical condition. 📌 Please keep in mind that recovery speed varies from person to person. 📌 Rather than comparing yourself to others Whether my condition is gradually improving It is more important to look at . 6. What lifestyle habits help manage implant swelling? There are basic habits that help with both swelling management and implant stability. Try maintaining the following habits to help with recovery. 🔸 Sleep with your pillow slightly elevated 🔸 A diet rich in protein and vitamins 🔸 Maintain abstinence from alcohol and smoking 🔸 Gently brush, avoiding the implant site 🔸 Use prescription mouthwash These habits can help not only with managing swelling but also with the implant settling in stably. Rather than a special method, Consistent basic management This is important. For example, simply avoiding keeping your head too low while sleeping or refraining from mindlessly eating spicy food immediately afterward can make a difference in the recovery process. Even if they seem small, these habits come together to make the recovery process a little more comfortable. 📌 Rather than difficult and complex management, Consistently maintaining the basic rules to be followed This is the key. FAQ Q1. Is all swelling after implant surgery a warning sign? A1. That is not the case. Swelling after implant surgery is mostly a natural reaction that can occur during the normal recovery process. Q2. When does implant swelling usually start to subside? A2. Usually, it is most pronounced on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery, gradually decreases from the 4th or 5th day, and often subsides significantly after about a week. Q3. When should I visit the dentist again if there is swelling? A3. If swelling continues to worsen, severe pain persists, or is accompanied by bad breath, pus, a sensation of heat, or fever, further examination may be necessary. conclusion Swelling from implants is mostly a natural part of the recovery process. no see. While the presence of swelling after surgery does not necessarily mean there is a problem, it is important to monitor whether it is subsiding over time or if it is a sign of worsening. The speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Simply following basic guidelines, such as applying cold compresses, managing your lifestyle, and taking prescribed medication, can help with recovery. However, if the swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain, heat, or pus, do not delay and have your condition checked at a dental clinic. Rather than being unconditionally anxious, knowing both the normal recovery range and warning signs. This is the most important thing.

이현섭 원장26.03.05Views 295Likes 5 [Health Column] Differences Between Ostem Implant Grades and a Guide to Choosing the Right Type for You[4]
hello! Lee Hyeon-seop, Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. ✨ More than 90% of people who visit the dentist look for ‘Ostem’ first. When you actually start counseling, there are many cases where people are confused by the words, “There are several levels.” The implant grading system is bound to be complicated to understand for anyone but an expert. Today I am at your eye level Everything You Need to Know About Ostem Implant Grades I'll organize it perfectly for you! 🦷 Implant Grades: Why Fixtures (Artificial Tooth Roots) Matter ? 🦷The success or failure of an implant depends on how firmly it attaches to the gum bone (osseointegration). . An implant is not simply a root, but an artificial root that is planted in the bone. How well the surface treatment of the 'fixture' is done is the key. Depending on the surface treatment method, the grade is divided and the quality of bone fusion is determined. 🔹 Key features by grade at a glance SA : This is the most basic stage and is suitable for those with good gum bone condition. CA : The calcium aqueous solution coating increases hydrophilicity and helps in rapid bonding. HA/BA : It is beneficial for those with low bone density or those in need of bone regeneration due to its bone component coating. SOI : Ostem's top line, a premium technology with ultra-high hydrophilicity that promotes blood clotting. 📌 One line of advice from the director: Expensive isn't always the answer! The first step is to accurately assess the condition of your gums and bone. What is the difference between the Osstem grades that are right for me? 🦷There is a separate 'optimal grade' to choose from depending on the condition of your gums and their resilience. What if you have healthy bones? SA vs CA 🔸 If you have healthy bones SA It is sufficient, but if you have diabetes or osteoporosis and are concerned about recovery, it is better to have good blood wettability. CA shows a much more stable prognosis. What if your bones are weak? HA vs BA 🔸 In areas where maxillary sinus augmentation is required or the bone is weak, it is used to induce chemical bonding with the bone. HA or BA The grade has excellent strength to hold the implant tightly so that it does not move around. What if it's a difficult case? SOI 🔸 For elderly patients with very weak bone quality or for difficult surgeries, the initial fixation strength is overwhelming. SOI can be a premium option. What is the most reasonable selection criterion? ? 🦷It's important to find a "gold standard" that balances cost and performance. . My conviction is clear. "The most expensive tier isn't the right answer for everyone." If there are no special circumstances regarding the condition of the bones, CA grade This initial rate of bone fusion is also stable and often the most reasonable option in terms of cost. ⚠️ Caution! No matter how high the grade you choose, it's useless if the medical staff doesn't adjust the implant angle or depth correctly. Be sure to check 'who plants it' as well as the equipment! FAQ Q1. Does the lifespan vary depending on the Osstem grade? ? A1. Grade primarily affects the "rate and stability of initial osseointegration." Once the bone is well integrated, subsequent longevity is largely determined by the individual's level of care and regular checkups. Q2. I have diabetes. What level would be best? ? A2. For diabetic patients with slow recovery, it has higher blood affinity than general SA and attaches quickly to the bones. CA, BA, SOI I recommend the rating. conclusion : More important than grades is 'customized diagnosis' Ultimately, implants are a process that becomes a part of my body. Just as each patient has a different fingerprint, the density of their gum bone and oral structure are also different. Key Summary ✨ If your bones are in good condition CA is the most reasonable! For high-difficulty surgeries or weak bone quality BA/SOI consideration! Above all, the skill of the medical staff is the top priority!

이현섭 원장26.02.25Views 32318Likes 4 [Health Column] A Groundbreaking Way to Reduce Implant Duration and Side Effects! The "One-Day Highness System" ✨[6]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. One of the most common complaints I hear when considering implant treatment is, "It takes a long time." 🦷 In fact, general implants often take several months due to the osseointegration process. So, there are quite a few people who delay or hesitate to seek treatment. However, if conditions such as the condition of the gum bone are met, there is a way to efficiently shorten the treatment process. In this column, we will discuss ways to reduce the treatment period. One-day Highness System Let's take a look at it. 1. Why does implant treatment take a long time? ? 👋 It takes enough time due to the osseointegration process. . Implants are not simply about putting teeth in. The artificial tooth root that acts as the root must be attached to the gum bone of our body as if it were one body. 'Osteointegration' Time is of the essence. This step usually takes several months, but under certain conditions, the process can be significantly shortened. 2. What kind of treatment is the One-Day Highness System? ? 👋 From extraction to temporary prosthesis connection, ‘just 3 days’ is enough. Unlike the conventional method, the key is to perform implantation and temporary prosthesis connection simultaneously immediately after extraction. 🔹 Safety : There is no separation of parts after setting, so the gingival (gum) formation is solid and the risk of screw loosening or breakage is minimized. 🔹 Convenience : Because the model is taken using a digital oral scan, the process is very simple and there is little pain. 🔹 nicety : No adhesive (cement) used We prevent related complications at the source and reduce errors through digital precision manufacturing. 3. Why is Highness Digital Prosthesis better? 👋 Because recovery is quick and there is less worry about complications. . 📌 Actual changes felt by patients Time saving : Treatment period compared to existing At least 3 months It can be reduced and the number of visits is also reduced. Pain reduction : There is minimal bleeding and swelling, allowing for a very quick return to normal activities. Gum health : Since no adhesive is used, there is no gum irritation and the risk of complications such as peri-implantitis is low. Sophistication : The entire process is digitized, so it fits perfectly, with almost no need for any modifications in the mouth. 4. How can it be produced in '1 Day'? ? 👋 Because we have a system of collaboration between the in-house dental laboratory and specialists. . In-house dental laboratory : Our skilled technicians are on-site and produce patient-specific prosthetics on the same day without any errors. cutting-edge digital equipment : High-performance scanner precisely identifies oral structure and provides immediate diagnosis. Collaboration with 6 departments : Specialists in various fields, including prosthodontics and orthodontics, are on site, allowing for comprehensive treatment in one place. ❓ FAQ Q1. Is one-day implant really completed in one day? ? A1. This treatment method involves surgery and temporary prosthesis placement in a single day. The final prosthesis completion time varies depending on the individual's condition. The key is to shorten the treatment period compared to conventional implants. Q2. If I get treatment too quickly, won't the success rate decrease? ? A2. A shorter period does not necessarily mean a lower success rate; an accurate diagnosis and fulfillment of the conditions are prerequisites. This applies only when the gum bone condition is stable. Q3. Is it okay to use the temporary prosthesis right away? A3. Daily conversation and eating are possible, but you will be instructed to avoid excessive chewing movements in the early stages. 📝 conclusion The One-Day Highness System is not simply a “quick implant,” but rather a way to safely shorten the treatment period when conditions are met. In particular, the decision on whether to apply it is made after comprehensively considering the amount and density of alveolar bone, presence of gum inflammation, and general condition. ✔️ Stability is more important than speed ✔️ Not all treatments are equally applicable to all patients ✔️ Accurate diagnosis is the standard for treatment direction If you are experiencing discomfort in your daily life, it is important to first check your current oral condition rather than rushing to treatment. We recommend that you carefully determine the treatment plan that's right for you through professional consultation. ✨ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare, Dental Prosthodontics Specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Graduated with a master's degree from Yonsei University School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Sinchon Severance Hospital , Prosthodontics Residency Completion Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, recognized and full member Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Premium Member Regular member of the Korean Society of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Full member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry jeon ) Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry jeon ) Former Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch hyeon ) Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, Board of Review , Expert Committee/Academic Affairs Committee hyeon ) Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Director of Academic Planning See more expert columns on laminates > [Health Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

정재욱 원장26.02.23Views 33607Likes 2 [Health Column] Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery: Why You Shouldn't Just Use Any Toothpaste[9]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Anyone who is about to have implant surgery or has just had surgery has probably thought about this at least once. “When should I start brushing my teeth?”, “Can I still use the same toothpaste I normally use?” Surprisingly Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery is an important management factor that affects the surgical outcome and recovery process. But most people tend to stick to their old habits without much explanation. today Why You Should Care About Your Toothpaste After Implant Surgery Let me summarize. Why does the oral environment change after implant surgery? 🦷Because implants are structurally different from natural teeth, their management standards are also different. Although implants look similar to natural teeth, their structure is completely different. Natural teeth have a periodontal ligament that cushions the impact and prevents bacterial invasion. Implants are A state where bones and metal structures are directly connected no see. so More sensitive to external stimuli Inflammation can progress rapidly ⚠️ For this reason, choosing toothpaste during implant surgery should not be viewed as a simple choice of daily necessities, but as a ‘part of care.’ What is the first toothpaste standard to check after implant surgery? 🦷The key is the abrasive level and whether it irritates the gums. Why is a lower RDA better? Toothpaste contains stain remover abrasive It contains. But the higher the number, the greater the friction. General commercial toothpaste: RDA 70-100 or more Toothpaste with whitening properties: RDA 120-150 or higher If you use this toothpaste immediately after implant surgery, As the border area of the prosthesis wears slightly, Risk of bacterial invasion This can grow. ✔️ Recommended criteria RDA 30~50 or less Products labeled 'low-abrasive toothpaste' Why should I check for surfactants (SLS)? When there is a lot of foam, it is easy to feel that it is 'cleaning well', The key ingredient of that foam is SLS series surfactants This is often the case. This ingredient is Stimulates the gum mucosa It makes your mouth dry May slow down the healing of surgical sites ⚠️ It is especially important to reduce stimulation immediately after implant surgery, as the gums are not yet stable. ✔️ Recommended criteria SLS-FREE labeling Surfactant-free or naturally derived surfactants Is more fluoride better? 🦷Fluoride is important in ‘appropriate amounts’. Fluoride is an ingredient that helps prevent cavities, Immediately after implant surgery Excessive fluoride irritates the mucous membranes may cause. When using high-fluoride toothpaste Stinging discomfort This may appear in some cases, so caution is required in the early stages. ✔️ Toothpaste selection criteria Fluorine content: approximately 900 to 1,000 ppm If you are having trouble deciding between high and low fluoride, choose the 'medium level' Will toothpaste with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients help? 🦷Antibacterial ingredients that can be managed without irritation may be helpful. Implants are relatively vulnerable to inflammation because of their limited vascular supply. thus Inhibits bacterial growth Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients Toothpaste containing this may help. For example, CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride) green tea extract Herbal extract ingredients Xylitol but, ❌ Rather than focusing on strong sterilization ✔️ A level that can be used continuously without stimulation This is more important. Do I really need to use toothpaste specifically for implants? 🦷What matters is not the ‘name’ but the ‘ingredients and whether it is irritating’. To conclude, A toothpaste specifically for implants is not required. What's more important than expensive products is 👉 Ingredient composition 👉 Abrasive level 👉 Whether or not there is gum irritation. When choosing a toothpaste for implant surgery, choose a product that meets the criteria. Using it consistently This is much more important. FAQ Q1. Can I use toothpaste immediately after implant surgery? A1. Since the care method may vary depending on the condition of the gums immediately after surgery, it is recommended to follow the medical staff's instructions regarding the timing and products to be used. Q2. When can I start using whitening toothpaste? A2. Whitening toothpaste often contains high levels of abrasives, so it is safer to avoid it immediately after surgery and use it after your gums have stabilized and after a consultation. Q3. Are there any maintenance factors more important than toothpaste? A3. Yes. As much as toothpaste. Brushing methods and habits This is important. conclusion The implant surgery is over, but Management starts from then It will work. Choosing toothpaste during implant surgery may seem trivial, but it can affect the long-term health of your implants. ✔️ It doesn't have to be expensive ✔️ Avoid whitening and foam-focused toothpastes. ✔️ Check the ingredient list again And most importantly How to use no see. Use a soft toothbrush Brush your teeth gently and gently If necessary, use auxiliary tools recommended by the dentist. The toothpaste you use today can determine the future condition of your implants. The first step in management, Please reconsider your choice of toothpaste.

When parents are considering dental implants, the first thing that comes to mind is often 'safety' rather than cost. especially If you are taking diabetes or high blood pressure medication The worries grow. “Will there be any problems during the surgery…?” Today, to ease the minds of these children, Criteria essential for safely performing implants in the elderly I will organize it for you calmly. Why are senior implants different from the consultation stage? 🔸The safety of surgery is determined in the consultation room, not on the operating table. The biggest feature of senior implants is General health and medications The point is that these must be considered together. Not only blood pressure medication and diabetes medication, Osteoporosis medications or blood clot dissolvers Is Because it directly affects hemostasis and bone regeneration. Pre-check is required Yes. “Quitting medication unconditionally isn’t the answer.” If you stop without thinking, it can be more dangerous. so Whether or not to adjust is determined through internal medicine consultation or close review. The process of doing so is required first. → The key is not 'taking medication = surgery impossible', but 'proceeding safely after adjustment'. Are implants dangerous if my gums are weak? 🔸If the foundation work is insufficient, the implant will have difficulty lasting long. . If you have had a tooth missing for a long time or have been wearing dentures for a long time, The gum bones of the elderly If it is as thin as a sheet of paper There are many. Just as a plant planted in bad soil will not survive for long, If you force an implant when there is insufficient bone, Shaking, dislocation, reoperation It can lead to. So what you need is Bone grafting process no see. Not just filling the bone meal, Sufficient healing time for the grafted bone to firmly attach to the original bone The key is to have .

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. I'm only in my twenties and I'm getting implants... 😥 In the examination room The question most often asked by patients in their 20s This is it. I don't have any friends around me who have had implants yet, and when I search, most of the stories I find are about people in their 50s or 60s. But more than I thought Situations in which implants should be considered even in one's early or late 20s exists steadily. today Why do we find ourselves at this crossroads? , and Cost, lifespan, and reviews I'll explain it to you calmly. Why do people get implants in their 20s? 🦷It often starts with an 'unavoidable situation' rather than a management failure. So why does this happen? Implants in your 20s are more a matter of lifestyle than anything else. The inevitable reason It often leads to . 🔸 Three representative cases ✔️ Failure of deep cavity/root canal treatment If a tooth that was treated in childhood repeatedly causes problems and eventually leads to tooth extraction ✔️ Accident/trauma Damage to front teeth or molars due to impact while riding a bicycle, kickboard, or exercising ✔️ congenital missing teeth If you were born with a missing tooth, you are faced with the choice between orthodontics and implants. A question that comes up a lot is, “Can’t we just leave it blank?” ⚠️ But teeth don't leave empty spaces. When the adjacent teeth are tilted and the bite is misaligned, Rather, it is in the direction of damaging even healthy teeth. It often progresses like this. Why do implant costs feel more burdensome in your 20s? 🦷Because this is the first time I've experienced a 'big medical bill' The reason why implant costs seem so high in your 20s is simple. mostly My first expensive dental treatment Because it's a win. 🔸 Factors that make up the cost of implants ✔️ Goes into the gum bone Implant body ✔️ Connecting the body and teeth abutment ✔️ Visible on the outside prosthesis (crown) ✔️Additional if needed Bone grafting and maxillary sinus augmentation Fortunately, those in their early and late 20s In many cases, the bone condition is good There are many cases where the procedure ends with only basic implants without bone grafting. On average Price range: mid to late 800,000 won to early 1 million won per unit It is often formed in, There are significant differences depending on the brand, prosthetic material, and aftercare system. ✨ Important points For people in their 20s, 'long-term cost' is more important than 'one-time price'. How long will implants last if I get them in my 20s? 🦷It is not ‘age’ but ‘management habits’ that determine lifespan. This is the most frequently asked question. “You’re so young… You have to use it for the rest of your life, right?” To conclude, Being young doesn't automatically mean you'll live longer. In general, the average lifespan of implant prosthetics is About 10 years ago is described as: But this is If the management status is average This is a story based on . 🔹 Benefits of Implants in Your 20s ✔️ Fast gum recovery ✔️ Fewer systemic diseases ✔️ High success rate of early osseointegration 🔸 Drawbacks to watch out for ⚠️ Teeth grinding and clenching habits ⚠️ Late-night snacking, smoking, and irregular lifestyle ⚠️ If you neglect regular checkups Ultimately, what determines the lifespan of the implant is It's not about age, it's about management habits no see. What are some common stories that come up in reviews of implants in people in their 20s? 🦷'The time I neglected it was more regrettable than the implant itself.' If you look at actual implant reviews in people in their 20s, you'll see similar things repeated. 🔸 Frequently asked questions “It wasn’t as painful as I thought.” “I don’t know why I kept putting it off.” “Early management is really important.” A particularly striking statement is this: “It’s not the implant that’s the problem, but the time I neglected it before that that I regret more.” Your 20s are a time when you feel like you have a lot of time, As for dental problems, Time spent procrastinating is time lost. may lead to.

If I do it in my 20s, do I have to do it again later? A3. It depends on the maintenance condition, and regular maintenance has a great impact on the lifespan. conclusion ✔️ Implants in your 20s may not be an 'early choice' but a 'necessary choice'. ✔️ Rather than making a decision based solely on price, Long-term maintenance perspective You must check it out. ✔️ Carefully review the implant experience, prosthetic design management, and aftercare standards. Implants are not a short-term treatment. Structures that will be used together for decades to come no see. Especially if you are in your 20s, you need to be even more careful.

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. It is easy to think of implants as a “treatment that just ends with implantation”, In reality A long recovery process called osseointegration Determine this success do. Especially since smoking directly and indirectly affects this process, Many people ask, “When can I start smoking?” What's actually important is Do you smoke/don't you smoke? Not, 👉 Which time is the most dangerous? , 👉 What Leads to Failure , 👉 How far should we realistically manage? no see. Why is smoking a problem after implants? 🦷 This is because factors that hinder recovery occur intensively during the osseointegration stage. ✔️ Recovery is delayed due to reduced blood flow Nicotine constricts peripheral blood vessels. Blocking the supply of oxygen and nutrients do. Because blood flow is your lifeline in early recovery, smoking during this stage can make even small problems bigger. ✔️ The characteristic of 'masking' inflammation signals Smokers have inflammation In cases where pain and bleeding are minimal There is. Even if it looks fine on the outside, problems can develop internally, so peri-implantitis is often discovered late. ✔️ Increased risk of osseointegration failure Implants are a treatment that must be firmly attached to the bone, but smoking Inhibits bone cell activity itself It is known to do so. As a result, there is a risk that the initial fixation will weaken or lead to shaking over time. So then, how should we set the ‘standard’? 🦷It is crucial to accurately identify the most dangerous times. Let me give you a more realistic standard than “I absolutely must quit smoking for the rest of my life!” The risk periods are the two sections below. 🔸 ① Immediately after surgery ~ 2 weeks The wound begins to heal Early clot formation (think of a clot as the "early stage of scab" that naturally forms over a new wound! It's a must-have.) ➡️ Smoking during this period Risk of early recovery failure This high 🔸 ② 1-3 months after surgery The key steps in which osseointegration actually takes place ➡️ The section where the failure rate increases statistically significantly ⚠️ What if osseointegration is complete? Smoking does not cause implants to fall out or become loose. however Peri-implantitis, gum bone resorption, and shortened prosthesis lifespan The risk is clearly increased That is, the two realistic management standards are: ✔ At least The period for bone fusion is a thorough smoking cessation. ✔ Even after that Regular checkups + hygiene management Is it possible? FAQ Q1. Is it okay to smoke after bone fusion is complete? A1. It does not directly lead to elimination, but Peri-implantitis, bone resorption, and reduced prosthesis lifespan The danger persists. Ultimately, this means that management difficulty increases. Q2. Is 'one or two cigarettes occasionally' a problem? A2. Even a small amount may hinder recovery during the osseointegration stage. It is safe to avoid smoking for at least this period. . Q3. Can inflammation pass without pain? A3. Smokers have higher inflammatory signals. Expressed weakly There are cases where things may look fine on the outside, but problems may be developing internally. conclusion Smoking after implant It is not a question of will, but a “question of timing.” In particular, it is most important to know the following three things: When is it most dangerous? How to get through that period How to adjust your treatment plan based on whether you smoke or not Implants are not a treatment that ends the moment they are placed. A treatment that takes time to complete no see. By accurately understanding your condition and setting realistic standards, you can keep your implants healthy for a long time. If necessary, consult with your medical professional to establish a management plan that suits your situation.

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. I finally took off my braces and couldn't help but smile when I saw my straight teeth... That moment A white spot left on the front teeth You will be surprised when you discover it! “Is it a cavity?”, “Can it be reversed?” Many people actually visit hospitals because of these concerns. Today, the teeth are White Spot What is this, We'll explain everything from why it occurs to how to manage and treat it. 1. Why do white spots appear? ✨This is a ‘demineralization phenomenon’ that occurs when calcium is lost from the surface of the teeth. White spots are not caused by tooth decay, Demineralization, a phenomenon in which calcium is lost from the tooth surface It is created as follows. 📌 There are two main causes! 🔸 congenital factors When calcium is not evenly deposited during tooth formation If some parts are partially decalcified due to a specific influence 🔸 Acquired factors (poor oral care) Food and dental plaque around braces are not cleaned properly, allowing bacteria to create acid. The acid erodes the teeth and leaves spots. ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Can I relieve it at home? ✨Complete removal is difficult, but it can be blurred by managing ‘nutrient supply’. White spot It's difficult to erase it dramatically at home. However, through consistent management Mildly relieved It could be possible. 📌 A typical home care method — using 'Tooth Mousse' 🔸 How to use After brushing your teeth, apply to white spots using your fingers or other tools. Maintain for more than 3 minutes to supply minerals to the tooth surface 🔸 principle Replenishes calcium and minerals in teeth to alleviate demineralization ✔️ Rather than for immediate removal purposes For nutritional supply and management purposes It's close! The more consistently you use it, the easier it is to feel the effects. (Example of Toothmus) 3. What treatments are available if I want to get rid of it professionally? ✨If you want quick and definite improvement, a dental approach is necessary. If the white spot is large or noticeable, By consulting a specialist A treatment that can be clearly seen There are some. 📌 1) Resin treatment Delete the spot area very finely How to fill with a resin similar to the color of your teeth to make it smooth 👉 The most common and simple way ⚠️ However, there is a downside that the border area may become discolored over time. 📌 2) Laminate (including uncut laminate) A method of covering spots by attaching a thin film to the front of the teeth Recently, there are methods that require little tooth removal, resulting in high aesthetic satisfaction. FAQ Q1. Are white spots also cavities? A1. Broadly speaking, it can be seen as a trace of early caries. However, since there are many cases where there is no pain and the progression has stopped, it may not necessarily be a condition that requires treatment. Q2. Will it disappear naturally over time? A2. Spots caused by decalcification It is difficult for it to disappear completely naturally. Although a slight blurring is possible, professional treatment is required if you want aesthetic improvement. Q3. What is the most reliable method of prevention? A3. Brushing your teeth is key no see! Especially during orthodontic treatment, dental plaque can easily accumulate around the device, causing demineralization. You need to take more thorough care of your teeth with a toothbrush or interdental brush specifically for orthodontics. conclusion White spots that appear after braces are not a serious disease, but The confidence of a smile It is an aesthetic concern that can cause you to drop it. ✔ Relief with mineral supplementation at home ✔ If it is bothersome, consider specialized treatment such as resin or laminate. ✔ If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, brushing your teeth more thoroughly is the most important preventive measure ✨ Above all, Because the treatment method that is appropriate for each person's current condition is different, Choose the most natural and safe method through expert consultation do Smile D Dental Clinic CEO Oh Su-hwan - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry - Department of Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry - Orthodontic specialist certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Completed internship and residency at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, Department of Orthodontics - International member of the American Academy of Orthodontics (AAO) - International member of the World Federation of Orthodontics (WFO) - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Certified by the Korean Orthodontic Association See more expert columns from Smile Dental Clinic Director Oh Su-hwan 📎 [Expert Column] Is transparent braces, a wire-free orthodontic treatment, really unnoticeable? 📎 [Expert Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. The most frequently asked questions by people considering implants are usually similar. “How long can I use it?”, “Does it hurt?”, “How much does it cost?” But surprisingly, the most common thing that comes up after an actual problem arises is this. “Wasn’t this supposed to be repaired?” Implants are Long-term treatment that includes management, not just surgery no see. And the standard for that is Implant AS period no see. Is there an after-sales service period for implants? 🦷 For implants, the ‘dentist’s aftercare standards’ are more important than the warranty. Many people assume that implants come with a clear manufacturer warranty, like appliances. But in reality AS standards operated by each dental clinic This exists. ✔ A certain period of time after planting ✔ Under certain conditions ✔ This is a structure that provides re-treatment free of charge or partially free of charge. The problem is AS period and scope are not the same in all dental clinics. is the point. Because there are no legally enforced standards, The saying “AS is possible” is used in every dental clinic. Completely different meaning It can be. So before treatment Check specific criteria This is important. Why is the implant AS period absolutely necessary? 🦷Even if the success rate is high, the possibility of failure is not completely 0%. To be honest, implants are a treatment with a high success rate. But especially Within 6 months to 1 year after implantation , the following problems may occur: 🔸 When the bone and implant do not fuse properly 🔸 Surrounding problems caused by gum inflammation 🔸 Abutment loosening 🔸 Crown fracture or fall out 🔸 Overload due to teeth grinding and clenching When problems arise during this period The patient burden varies completely depending on whether there is an AS period or not. No AS → Full burden of reoperation and reprosthesis costs AS Clear → Free or minimal cost solution The difference is bigger than you think. Why can cheap implants be risky? 🦷The cheaper the price, the more carefully you should scrutinize the after-sales service. . When comparing implant prices, there are some places that stand out. ✔ Extremely low cost ✔ Emphasize event-oriented pricing ✔ Almost no mention of AS during the consultation process In this case If the AS period is non-existent or very limited There are many. It may seem cheap at the time of treatment, but If a problem arises in 1-2 years A structure that incurs greater costs and time again no see. Implants are Not a “cheap treatment” It is important to remember that this is a “long-term management treatment”. What should I check during the implant AS period? 🦷Before deciding on a dentist, be sure to ask yourself this question: . Before choosing a dental clinic, we recommend that you check the questions below. 1️⃣ How many years is the implant AS period? 2️⃣ To what extent is AS applied? ( Fixture / Abutment / Crown Distinction) 3️⃣ Does this also apply to cases of negligence in patient management (smoking, failure to undergo regular checkups)? To this question Dentistry that provides clear answers If it's ramen, it can be seen as a place that at least has standards for after-sales service. FAQ Q1. Is it always good if the implant AS period is long? A1. More than the period itself Whether the scope and conditions of application are clear is more important. Q2. If there is a problem after implantation, will all problems be covered by after-sales service? A2. It varies depending on the standards of each dental clinic. Restrictions depending on patient management It can be. Q3. I feel uncomfortable bringing up the topic of after-sales service during consultations. Do I really need to ask? A3. Because implants are a long-term treatment, The most important thing to check before treatment do. conclusion If you are considering implants Before checking the price, check the ‘implant AS period’. Not after the problem has occurred, This is most important before deciding on treatment. Not all treatments work equally well for everyone. Rather than making a decision without thinking, check the current status, Through sufficient consultation with a specialist Aftercare standards that are right for me Please check it out.

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Implant consultation When I do this, there is a question I hear most often. “Are there any side effects?”, “Is it okay if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?” I am worried about that. To those who have these concerns How to harness your body's healing power What is introduced is PRF autologous blood implant no see. Today, people who are considering implants So that you can make a decision with a little more peace of mind , let me explain about autologous blood implants. 1. What is an autologous blood (PRF) implant? 👋 An implant method that uses growth factors obtained from my blood to help with recovery. Autologous blood implants patient Take a small amount of your own blood After that, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is obtained through special treatment. This method is used in implant surgery sites. ✔️ PRF contains growth factors concentrated in platelets and white blood cells. ✔️ Helps the gum bone and implants to bond well osseointegration process Assists. Simply put, PRF is You can think of it as “a natural protective film made from my blood.” It's a similar concept to putting a high-quality bandage on a wound to help it heal. Because your own blood is used, before the procedure Check your blood condition This is important. 2. Why do I need autologous blood implants? 👋 It may be helpful for those who have slow recovery or are at high risk for inflammation. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis Gum bone regeneration is slow and the risk of infection is high. There may be increased risk with standard implants. At this time, autologous blood implants have the following advantages: 🔸 bone regeneration aid → It promotes bone cell activity and helps recovery after bone transplantation. 🔸 Reduced immune rejection → Use your own blood, not someone else's tissue. 🔸 Hemostasis and pain relief → The PRF membrane covers the surgical site, helping to reduce swelling and pain. 🔸 Possibility of shortening treatment period → Helps speed up the recovery of gums and gum bones. "Resilience Enhancement + Safety-Focused Selection" 3. How does the procedure proceed? 👋 It is simpler than you think and is not much different from the existing implant flow. The process goes like this: 🔹 Blood collection → A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm (as in a routine blood test). 🔹 centrifugation → The collected blood is spun in a special centrifuge for about 10 minutes. 🔹 PRF extraction → Separate PRF in yellow jelly form. 🔹 Transplantation and implantation → PRF is used together with bone grafting material or to cover the surgical site. 🔹 Suture → Finish by suturing the gums. During implant surgery, blood collection and separation are performed simultaneously while waiting for anesthesia. The overall surgical time does not increase significantly. 4. To whom is it recommended and when should caution be exercised? ✔️ Highly recommended People with slow recovery due to systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure People with weak gum bones due to old age If an implant is needed immediately after tooth extraction When a wide area of bone grafting is required Those who are concerned about pain and swelling after surgery ⚠️ When caution is required Severe blood diseases (thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, etc.) If you have severe anemia If you are taking anticoagulants (such as aspirin) → Prior consultation with a medical professional is required. “Autologous blood implants are safe, but Blood condition as a selection criterion This is it.” ❓ FAQ Q1. Is it dangerous or very painful to have blood drawn? A1. It is performed by drawing a small amount of blood, and is described as a mild pain. Q2. Is it more expensive than regular implants? A2. Additional costs may apply if special equipment and kits are used. In the long term, it may be an option that reduces the risk of reoperation. Q3. Will the treatment time increase significantly? A3. Since blood collection and separation are performed simultaneously, there is no significant difference in the overall surgical time. 📝 conclusion Autologous blood (PRF) implants This is not a method that can be recommended equally to everyone. but Those who were hesitant about implants due to systemic illness If you are concerned about slow recovery or weak gum bones, “There is also a way to utilize the healing power of my body.” It's definitely worth checking out at least once. As implants are an important process that lays the foundation of the gum bone, After checking the current status accurately Consult with a specialist to find the right choice for you. I recommend that you do so.

정재욱 원장26.01.05Views 162Likes 5 [Health Column] There are so many different types of implant bone grafting... What criteria should you use to choose?[7]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. If you hear the explanation “let’s do bone grafting together” during your implant consultation, Many people 'Is treatment truly necessary? What are the criteria for selection?' is the question most people are curious about. Bone grafting is not simply an “additional treatment”; 👉 Bone quantity and condition 👉 Implant location 👉 Functional and aesthetic requirements This is a treatment process that is decided by considering these factors together. To understand the types and characteristics of bone grafting at a glance ✔️ When you need it ✔️ In which case which method is chosen? ✔️ Judgment points you should know I'll try to organize it. Why is 'bone grafting' necessary for implants? 🦷 Implants need strong bone to be stably placed. implants is an artificial tooth root (fixture) Fixed to the jawbone It is a treatment that is done. so ✔ Sufficient amount of bone ✔ Adequate bone density is very important. but, If you have been missing teeth for a long time If the inflammation was severe If the gum bone is originally thin In many cases, the bone has already been absorbed, so a bone graft may be necessary. That is, the implant Reinforcement process for stronger and longer lasting use It's good to understand it like this! What types of implant bone grafting are there? 🦷There are four main types, and the choice depends on the situation. ① Autologous bone graft — “Is this how you use my bones?” ✔ This is a method of harvesting and using bones from my body. ✨ merit Highest survival rate Bone regeneration is also fast ⚠️ disadvantage Additional procedures are needed to harvest bone. The scope of treatment may be expanded It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 If you have a severe bone deficiency 👉 Situations where stability is especially important ② Allogeneic bone graft — “Is it safe to use other people’s bones?” ✔ This is a method of using donated bones after sterilizing them. ✨ merit Less burdensome than autologous bone Relatively rapid bone formation ⚠️ disadvantage Absorption rate can be relatively fast It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 When it is burdensome to use only autologous bone 👉 With other transplant materials Mix and use together It often happens ③ Xenograft — “Is it okay to use animal bones?” ✔ We use ingredients that are safely refined from bones derived from animals such as cows and pigs. ✨ Advantages The structure is stable Good shape retention, good for maintaining volume ⚠️ Cons Bone formation may be somewhat slow It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Maxillary sinus augmentation 👉 When maintaining bone shape is important ④ Synthetic bone graft — “Are there any materials that are completely artificial?” ✔ It is an artificially produced bone graft. ✨ Advantages Low risk of infection Consistent quality Easy to use ⚠️ Cons May have limitations when used alone It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Mixed use with other grafting materials 👉 When a relatively small range of reinforcement is required So, which bone graft is best? 🦷The correct answer is 'the combination that suits the situation' all. This is a question I get asked a lot, but there is no single 'right' answer. Because the selection is determined by considering all of the factors below. ✔ How much bone is lacking? ✔ Location of implant placement ✔ Whether to plant at the same time ✔ Overall health So in some cases Use of multiple grafts together Sometimes it does. in other words, " bone grafting = Rather than “optional”, “The safest treatment process tailored to your current condition.” It would be most accurate to understand it like this. FAQ Q1. Is bone grafting absolutely necessary? A1. Not everyone needs it, but Insufficient bone condition directly affects implant stability. It is important to first accurately check the condition through consultation. Q2. Which bone graft is the ‘best’? A2. Rather than saying that a particular graft material is always the best, **the choice that best suits the individual's bone condition and treatment plan is the 'best'**. Q3. I am concerned that bone grafting may be overtreatment. A3. If it is not necessary, do not proceed, rather It is often essential for long-term stability and maintenance. . conclusion Implant bone grafting, remember it like this! ✔️ Not “over-treatment”, but only when necessary ✔️ Type varies depending on condition ✔️ It is not a treatment that focuses on just one thing. ✔️ Above all else Accurate diagnosis is key It may feel burdensome, but Considering long-term stability and usage period A process that is meaningful enough This could be it. After consulting with a medical professional, choose the best method for your condition.

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. When teeth are severely damaged or most of them are missing, many people worry, “Should I get implants for all of them?” But recently Supporting a full set of teeth with just four implants Doing it All-on-Four This method is becoming an alternative. You probably have a lot of questions about this treatment, including the cost, pain, and recovery speed. Today, I'll take a closer look at what this treatment is and who it can help. 1. What is the principle behind All-on-Four supporting the entire tooth? 👋 A method that stably supports the entire tooth with four strong pillars All-on-Four is a treatment that places only four implants (six depending on the situation) in the strongest location of the gum bone, and then attaches a fixed prosthesis that connects all teeth on top of them. If we use a building analogy, it is similar to the principle that the top plate can be stably supported as long as a few core supports are strong, without having to install the pillars closely together. No need to place unnecessary implants Effectively designing power distribution Precision treatment aimed at restoring full function If you have been putting off treatment because of the burden of having to “plant all your teeth,” It would be a good idea to get professional advice to see if all-on-one is possible. 2. What are the costs and recovery speed? Will it be expensive? 👋 Economical + Reduced Physical Burden = A Realistic Treatment Option The biggest advantage of All-on-Four is Reduced cost burden and faster recovery no see. ✔️Reduced cost burden The number of plants to be planted is greatly reduced, reducing surgical and material costs. ✔️ Reduced recovery burden The scope of surgery is reduced The likelihood of needing bone grafting is likely to decrease. Pain and swelling are described as relatively minimal. The advantage is that it can be a relatively less physically burdensome treatment option for the elderly and those with systemic diseases. 3. What is the difference between dentures and braces? 👋 Not removable dentures, but 'fixed teeth that feel like your own teeth' All-on-four is not the removable dentures that are commonly thought of. ✔️ This is what makes it different How the prosthesis is 'completely fixed' to the implant Reduces foreign body sensation by not covering the palate You can taste the food more naturally You can comfortably chew apples, meat, etc. without worrying about them becoming loose. ❓ FAQ Q1. Are 4 really strong enough? A1. Yes. The 10-year survival rate is over 90%. The implant angle and position are precisely designed, and the posterior implant is planted at a slight angle to stably support the entire tooth. Q2. How long does it take to recover after surgery? A2. One of the great advantages of All-on-Four is its recovery speed. Because a temporary prosthesis is usually fitted immediately after surgery. Conversation and light meals are possible on the day of surgery. It is said that it is done. Q3. Isn't it actually more expensive? A3. It is much more economical than implanting each tooth one by one. This can reduce the number of implants needed and the possibility of bone grafting, which can also reduce additional costs. 📝 conclusion All-on-four is a “high-difficulty, precision treatment that stably restores the entire tooth function using four pillars.” It's not a solution that works for everyone, but for those who qualify, A fast and realistic recovery solution This could be it. ✔️ Points to remember All-on-for: A treatment option that reduces both cost and physical burden. A precise diagnosis must be made first. Sufficient consultation with experienced medical staff is important. We encourage you to make safe and wise choices so you can chew, smile, and return to your daily life.

정재욱 원장25.12.31Views 244Likes 5 [Health Column] Is Bone Grafting Really Necessary for Implants? Key Points to Consider Before Surgery[7]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. At the dentist Implant consultation The most nerve-wracking moment when receiving it is “I need a bone graft.” Isn't it when you hear that? Costs are rising, and concerns are growing about whether treatment is truly necessary. In particular, you may have had the experience of being confused because the language was slightly different at each hospital. But rather than worrying Accurate understanding comes first. Today, we'll explain what implant 'bone grafting' is, whether it's really necessary for everyone, and even give you some tips for making a wise decision. 1. What exactly does implant bone grafting mean? ✨Bone grafting is not a process of ‘filling in bone’, but rather a process of creating space for new bone to grow. Many people think of bones as hard and unchanging tissues like stone, but in reality, Bone is a living tissue that is continuously created and reshaped and has microscopically porous structures. no see. thus Implant bone grafting is not simply a concept of filling, The process of creating space for bone cells to grow into It's much easier to understand if you think of it this way. When building a house, if you first set up the 'formwork', concrete will be poured into it and harden, right? Bone grafting is similar! The graft material acts as a mold. As my bone cells grow and enter it, it hardens into solid bone over time. In other words, bone grafting is not a process of 'attaching' bones, but a process of creating a 'frame (space)' for new bone growth. 2. What materials are used for bone grafting? Many people worry, “It’s not even my bone, so will it be okay?” bone graft material It is broadly divided into the following: 🔸 autologous bone Bone taken from the patient during surgery 🔸 heterognathic bone Materials safely processed from animal bones such as cows, horses, and pigs 🔸 Homologous bone Materials collected from another person's tissue and then sterilized and verified No single ingredient is always the best! They are used in combination according to the patient's gum bone condition and defect range. 3. So… is it impossible to get an implant ‘without bone grafting’? ✨ The correct answer is NO. Bone grafting is not necessary in all cases. The most important factor in deciding whether to have a bone graft is right, “How long has it been since you lost your tooth?” 📌 In this case, it is likely to be 'necessary' ⬆️ If you have lost a tooth for a long time and the gum bone has been absorbed a lot When the remaining bone thickness is very thin 📌 In this case, it may be 'avoidable' If the tooth was extracted relatively recently and there is sufficient existing bone remaining Also, these days, as implant technology advances, In some cases, stable implantation is possible without major surgery by using a 'short implant'. as a result “Bone grafting is not something that must always be done,” but rather a treatment that is decided based on the patient’s condition! 4. Short implants, are they okay? class I thought that a long implant would be advantageous, but Nowadays, surface technology and fixation power have advanced. Even short implants can be expected to provide sufficient stability. FAQ Q1. Are the purposes of bone grafting different for front teeth, molars, and teeth? A1. Yes, they are different. Molars must withstand strong chewing forces, so functional stability is the primary goal. Front teeth, on the other hand, are important for aesthetic reasons, as they need to prevent gum recession and shape changes. Therefore, if there is enough bone left on the molar side, it is possible to make a strategic choice of not necessarily going for bone grafting. Q2. If I don't do bone grafting and place a short implant, won't it be weak? A2. Surface treatment technology has improved, so you can expect sufficient fixing power. Q3. Is there anything patients can do in advance to avoid implant bone grafting? A3. If you manage inflammation well before tooth extraction, the implant environment can be greatly improved. Conclusion - “Knowing your bone condition and making a choice” is the most important. Implants are not simply a treatment to fill empty spaces. The process of remaking parts of my body no see. ✔️ “Everyone else is doing it” ✔️ “Because the hospital told me to do it” It's not something you can just decide. ✨ What is the condition of my bones? ✨ Is the purpose of bone grafting functional or aesthetic? ✨ Is there no alternative? It is wisest to compare and decide slowly based on this standard. If necessary, seek consultation from several hospitals. A treatment plan tailored to your oral condition I hope you find it.

이현섭 원장25.12.29Views 447Likes 4 [Health Column] Are you worried about the cost of implants? A guide to realistic treatment options.[6]
hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Director Kim Hyeong-seok no see. I hear this a lot during consultations in the clinic. “I think I need treatment, but the cost of implants is too much.” Because implants are a long-term treatment If you need to do multiple things at once , the financial burden may feel great. However, if you continue to postpone treatment due to cost, Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition As time goes by, the inconvenience may increase. So today When the cost of implants is burdensome, realistic options and criteria to consider Let's organize it. Are implants the right choice for everyone? 🔸Implants are not the only answer in all cases. Implants are Restore lost tooth function It is an effective treatment method. but If you have a systemic disease If you are elderly If the gum bone condition is not good The burden of treatment may increase. Here Situations requiring multiple plantings If so Cost burden It will increase together. ✔️ So the important point is “It’s not the same treatment for everyone, Choices that suit your individual circumstances This is necessary The point is “to do.” Why do implant costs feel particularly burdensome? 🔸 It's not just a matter of 'the cost of one tooth'. The cost of implants can vary greatly depending on the following factors: 🔸 Number of teeth lost 🔸 Gum bone condition 🔸 Whether additional surgery is needed (e.g. bone grafting, etc.) 🔸 Long-term maintenance plan Especially if you need to do multiple things at the same time, More than the treatment itself economic burden This is often the biggest concern. Are there any realistic alternatives to treatment that can reduce the cost burden? 🔸 Reducing the number of implants and utilizing existing prosthetics together may be an alternative. for example, Implant dentures like Place a small number of implants sun Stable support for dentures How to design it to do so silver ✔️Compared to full implants Reduced surgical burden Reduced cost burden Expected functional recovery You can expect the following advantages: This method in particular, People who find existing dentures uncomfortable People who frequently lose their dentures or have weak chewing strength Those who find full implants difficult due to cost or health issues It could be an option for you. but, Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , please remember. What are the differences between implant dentures and conventional dentures? 🔸Implant dentures This is a way to compensate for the reason why the dentures were moving or uncomfortable. Many people say that existing dentures are structured to be placed on top of the gums, and that they are uncomfortable because they move or lift when eating. On the other hand, the denture method using implants is Implants support dentures Because it does it ✔️ Reduced movement ✔️ More stable chewing power transmission You can expect. Of course, we do not guarantee the same results for everyone, and applicability may vary depending on individual circumstances. Who are implant dentures a particularly good choice for? 🔸 It's worth considering if: ✔️ If you are concerned about having multiple implants placed ✔️ If you find it uncomfortable to use existing dentures ✔️ If gum bone absorption has progressed ✔️ In cases where long-term surgery is difficult due to overall health issues The most important criterion is, “Which treatment is good?” rather than “ Is this the right choice for me? "no see. It is recommended that you consult with a specialist to find the right treatment for your situation. FAQ Q1. Isn’t implant the best treatment? A1. Implants are a good treatment, but There is not always the same answer for everyone. Cost, gum condition, and overall health must be considered together. Q2. Is it okay to postpone getting implants because of the cost? A2. In some cases Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition This can cause significant inconvenience. Rather than delaying, it is better to explore the options available to you in your current situation. Q3. Are alternative treatments like implant dentures available to everyone? A3. No. Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , it is safe to decide after consultation. conclusion Implants are certainly a good treatment option, but The same approach isn't always the best choice for everyone. Considering cost, gum condition, lifestyle, and overall health “Is this treatment realistically feasible for me right now?” It is most important to judge. ⚠️ Rather than simply postponing treatment, Consult with an expert to determine what options are available in your current situation. I recommend you give it a try. ✨ Treatment, once decided, has a long-lasting impact on your life. “We don’t just look at cost, we don’t just chase the latest treatments, Finding the right direction for me "This is the best choice.

김형석 원장25.12.26Views 900Likes 6 [Health Column] Is partial front teeth correction really quick and simple? A quick overview of the benefits, precautions, and recommended options![6]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. The crooked front teeth that catch my eye every time I look in the mirror, the teeth that bother me every time I take a picture… These days, I have these concerns 'Can't I just fix my front teeth quickly?' There are so many people asking questions. Especially on SNS Partial front teeth correction As before and after photos spread, Short period of time and economical cost There are also more and more people who make decisions based on just what they see. However, if you start simply believing that it will “finish quickly,” you may end up experiencing a change in your impression or discomfort. So today For whom is partial front teeth correction effective and what should be considered? Let me explain clearly from a professional perspective. . 1. Why do my front teeth become more and more misaligned? ✨For the arrangement of front teeth Congenital factors + changes in gum condition can influence each other. As we age, many people notice that their front teeth are gradually becoming misaligned. There are two main reasons for this. 🔸 congenital factors When the size of the teeth and the size of the jaw do not match If the jaw is narrow and the teeth are large → the teeth overlap and are arranged Conversely, if the jaw is large and the teeth are small → gaps between the teeth 🔸 acquired factors As the gums weaken, their ability to support the teeth decreases. Accordingly, the teeth can move slightly and deform. ✔️ So, it is actually quite common to simply say, “It was a good fit originally, but it suddenly seems to be wrong.” 2. What are the advantages of partial front teeth correction? ✨ The biggest appeal of partial front teeth correction is that it focuses on correcting only the necessary areas! Partial correction of front teeth is literally The problem is A method of attaching orthodontic devices to only 6 to 8 front teeth no see. ✔️ The treatment period is short Although full correction often takes 1-2 years or more, Partial correction can be completed in a relatively short period of time. ✔️ It's less expensive Fewer teeth to attach the device to Economical compared to full correction ✔️ There are few inconveniences in life. There is no device on the molars, so eating is less of a burden. The device has relatively little foreign body sensation or pain. 3. Is partial front teeth correction really a treatment that 'everyone' can do? ✨The most important point in partial front teeth correction is “securing space.” Partial correction of the front teeth is a treatment that is difficult to say is 'unconditionally possible'. no see. The biggest variable is Space securing problem no see. ⚠️ Please remember this! To align teeth, they need 'space' to move. If only the front teeth are corrected without moving the molars → Protrusion may occur, causing the teeth to appear to extend forward. To compensate for this, very fine grinding is done between the teeth. 'Interdental deletion' There are cases where it is in progress, If excessive, discomfort such as tooth numbness may occur. This can happen. ✔️ So rather than just starting by hearing “it’s easy” or “you can definitely do it”, Consultation with a specialist and precise diagnosis first no see. 4. I recommend partial front teeth correction to these people! From a professional perspective, partial anterior orthodontic treatment is particularly helpful in the following cases: If your teeth are slightly crooked If there is a very small gap between the front teeth If the entire dentition is fine, but only one specific tooth is protruding ✔️ That is, If the problem is localized and centered around the front teeth It could be a good choice. FAQ Q1. Can protruding teeth or a protruding chin be corrected with partial correction? A1. If there is a skeletal problem or a complete occlusion adjustment is required. It may be difficult to resolve this with just partial correction. It is recommended that you consult a dentist to get an accurate diagnosis. Q2. Is it possible to correct partial front teeth with transparent braces? A2. It is possible. However, in some cases, bracket correction may be more effective, so a thorough diagnosis is necessary. Q3. What happens if I don't like the results after partial correction? A3. If there is not enough space A situation that requires a full correction again This may happen. So your first choice is very important. Conclusion - The most important thing is to check if it is “right for me”. Partial correction of the front teeth is definitely necessary Attractive treatment in terms of time, cost, and inconvenience no see. But in actual treatment When full correction is more appropriate There are quite a few. ✔️ It's good to prepare like this before treatment Get consultations from at least 2-3 dental clinics Check with a specialist to see if treatment is right for your situation. Understand not only the expected effects but also the 'things to watch out for' As a result, Getting started by knowing what works best for your dental condition this It's the fastest and safest shortcut.

오수환 원장25.12.23Views 344Likes 7 [Health Column] Is Full Implant Safe for Older Adults?[16]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. If a lot of teeth fall out "now denture Is there no other answer? "There are many people who worry first. Especially those over 60 This makes treatment choices more careful, so these days instead of dentures Full implant The number of people who are concerned about this is increasing. But when it comes to implants, it's natural Surgical burden, recovery, and cost The same worries come to mind and you end up postponing your decision. Fortunately, recent advances in full implant technology have made treatment much more precise and accessible than in the past. Since the entire implant procedure requires a complex and precise treatment process, the experience and capabilities of the medical staff are very important. That's why If a place can perform full implants reliably, you can also expect a high degree of completion and success rate for single implants. In this column, we will discuss what a full implant is. , Do I really need to plant so many? , Is it possible even if you are elderly or have an underlying disease? Let me explain. 1. What is a full implant and under what circumstances should it be considered? 👋 Full implants are a treatment that restores the entire dentition to function like natural teeth. Full implants are a treatment designed to restore both aesthetics and function when teeth are missing throughout the upper or lower jaw. This can be considered not only for those who are missing all their teeth, but also for those who find their existing dentures uncomfortable or want to replace all their remaining teeth. 🔸 It's easy to understand it like this If all teeth are missing → Full replacement purpose If your dentures are uncomfortable → A more stable alternative with a fixed structure If only part of the tooth remains → The purpose is to restore the integration of function and aesthetics. Full implants do not mean “planting all the teeth.” How to treat Designed to fit the patient's condition It will work. 2. Is it really better to plant more? What is the "economics of minimum planting"? 👋 The key isn't 'a lot', but 'just the right amount, in the best location' In the past, it was thought that implants had to be placed for every missing tooth, which made the cost and surgical burden extremely high. However, today's approach has changed. ✔️ Important points Even if all of the upper and lower teeth are lost Only the minimum number of implants are placed based on the location of strong gum bones. By that number Full tooth function can be sufficiently restored Especially at our Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic All-on-Four method is a method of supporting a fixed prosthesis with about 4 implants. ⚠️ Reduced surgical scope ⚠️ Reduced recovery burden ⚠️ Reduced cost burden This has great advantages. “Planting a lot = good treatment” is not true. Structurally stable and only as much as necessary Planting is the key. 3. Is it safe for the elderly, diabetic patients, or those with high blood pressure? What if I'm concerned about safety? 👋 We use a burden-reducing approach with precise digital solutions. Many people give up on implants because of concerns such as “I’m too old…” or “I have a chronic illness…” However, full implants can be an important treatment that can significantly improve the quality of life for these people. Based on 3D digital precision analysis → Pre-surgery mock surgery Reduce error with Minimize the extent of the incision → Reduces bleeding and swelling & helps speed recovery Plant only where absolutely necessary → Minimize physical strain So we can organize it like this ✔️ Suitable for seniors as well ✔️ Even if you have a systemic disease, it is possible if the design is tailored to your individual condition. ✔️ What's important is Precision diagnosis + selection of experienced medical staff ❓ FAQ Q1. I am old. Can I still get it if I have diabetes or high blood pressure? A1. It is possible. Recently, precision planning utilizing 3D digital equipment and minimally invasive techniques (e.g., navigation implants) have been applied to reduce bleeding and swelling and shorten surgical times. This has allowed even elderly patients and those with systemic diseases to receive safe treatment. Q2. I'm really worried about the pain. Is there a way to get treatment that will make it less painful? A2. For patients with significant pain anxiety, methods (e.g., sleep implants) can be used to help them receive treatment in a comfortable environment. This can help reduce surgical noise and fear, allowing for a more comfortable experience. 📝 conclusion Full implant is not simply a “replanting of teeth” treatment, Treatment to restore life functions and comfort no see. ✔️ Planting a lot is not necessarily a good thing. ✔️ Minimum planting design considering cost and burden is an important criterion. ✔️ Even if you are elderly or have a chronic disease, it is a completely possible choice if you have a precise diagnosis and a safe system. but, Each patient's gum bone condition, oral structure, and health condition are different. Don't judge based solely on information on the Internet.
