Orthodontic consultation after implant bridge[2]
There is one implant each in the upper and lower molars on both sides. The front teeth on the upper side have been treated with a bridge. However, all the lower teeth are slightly spaced apart. The lower teeth are not easily visible, so they are less noticeable to people. Food getting stuck in teeth when eating meat or tough foods I'm so uncomfortable that I'm thinking about getting my lower teeth braces. However, implants or bridges are already in place. Is correction possible when there is a lot present? If orthodontics is difficult, consider other dental procedures for teeth alignment. Is it possible to do it evenly??
yul23.07.17Views 87Likes 0 [Yonsei Plant Dental Clinic] I had an implant consultation and liked that there was no excessive pressure.[4]
① What procedure/surgery consultation did you receive? My right molar was hurting, so I went to a nearby dental clinic for a check-up, and they told me that the tooth was decayed and needed to be extracted and replaced with an implant. I consulted about the price of implants, and since it was higher than I expected, I planned to treat only my decayed teeth first, but the doctor expressed dissatisfaction by saying things I didn't even say. So, after saying I would do it next time, I stopped by Yonsei Plant Dental Clinic for an implant consultation based on a friend's recommendation. ② How was the doctor's explanation? Looking at the photos and explaining the condition, they explained in detail that it is not an ideal location for an implant, but since the area is such that eating would not be difficult once the tooth heals after extraction, it seems like an implant would not be necessary. ③ How was the hospital atmosphere and service? I went without a reservation the first time, so I had to wait. I had other things to do, so I couldn't wait long. I made a reservation for another day and went a little early, so I didn't have to wait much. It wasn't big since it was an old building, but the interior was clean, the staff were friendly, and above all, the doctor was kind. ④ How was the recommendation or price information? I was upset because the doctor at the first dental clinic I visited was unfriendly and made unnecessary demands, but I was surprised that Yonsei Plant Dental Clinic didn't make any pressure at all and even told me that it would be better not to get implants. Thanks to their transparent guidance, I trusted them even more. ⑤ What were your thoughts after the consultation? I visited thinking I needed implants, but I was happy to hear that I didn't need them. I decided that if I ever need to go to the dentist again, I will definitely go to Yonsei Plant Dental Clinic.
원희26.07.02Views 20Likes 1 I have a question about when implants are needed.
I've heard that you should consider implants if your teeth are very loose or difficult to treat due to cavities. I'm curious about the criteria. I have heard that it is best to save natural teeth as much as possible, but I would like to know at what stage of condition extraction is necessary. I am wondering if dental implants are possible even at an older age. I would also like to know the situations in which a bone graft is necessary. I am also curious about how much the lifespan of an implant varies depending on care. I am wondering which is the better choice: holding onto my teeth for a long time or getting implants quickly.

I received an implant consultation at Jamsil Iroum Dental Clinic. I heard that it is best to visit several dental clinics to compare options before getting implants, so I went to two or three places, and finally visited Jamsil Iroum Dental Clinic. During the implant consultation, the doctor provided only the essential information in a concise manner. I actually preferred this approach, where they explained only the necessary points in an easy-to-understand way, rather than doctors who ramble on. The staff were also kind and helpful. I am in a situation where I need to undergo a bone graft first, and it was helpful to make my decision because you explained the differences in bone graft materials and prices in detail.

Hello! I am Lee Hyun-seop, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. If a temporary implant tooth suddenly falls out on a Saturday evening, Sunday, or public holiday, anyone would likely panic and worry, thinking something terrible has happened. However, in most cases, if only the temporary tooth has come off, there is no need to be too alarmed. Today, I will explain step-by-step how to properly handle the situation without panicking if your temporary tooth falls out on a weekend or holiday. For your reference, Seoul Centum Dental Clinic is open every day from Monday to Sunday, except for the day of the holiday, so you can rest assured! (Source: AI Image) 🔹 What should I check first? First, check whether the missing part is the 'temporary tooth' or the 'implant itself'. 💡 Just a moment! > In most cases, only the temporary prosthesis detaches. Please rest assured that the implant body (fixture) inside the gum bone does not come out easily! If the pain is not severe and the metal part inside the gum is clearly visible, it is highly likely that only the temporary tooth has fallen out. 🔹 Why do temporary teeth fall out so easily? This is because a weak adhesive is used so that it can be removed before the final prosthesis is attached. Temporary teeth are not the final prosthetics. In most cases, they are attached with specialized temporary cement so that they can be easily removed later. As a result, it may fall out more easily than expected if subjected to tough or sticky foods, or repeated strong chewing force. In fact, if you attach it too strongly, it can become very difficult to remove later when inserting the final prosthesis. 🔹 What should I do if I miss a weekend or public holiday? Please do not panic and make sure to follow the four safety rules below. 📌 ① Do not throw away temporary teeth! If you gently rinse a fallen temporary tooth with clean water and store it properly in an airtight container before bringing it to the dentist, it can often be reattached. ⚠️ ② Absolutely do not attach it yourself! Occasionally, some patients come in having attached the prosthesis themselves using super glue or regular adhesive, but this is extremely dangerous. Please absolutely avoid this, as it can damage the prosthesis or allow the adhesive to seep into the gums, making treatment much more difficult. 📌 ③ Please eat on the opposite side! It is best to avoid using the treated area as much as possible. Soft foods such as porridge, eggs, tofu, and yogurt are recommended, and please avoid hard or chewy foods. 📌 ④ Please be sure to maintain oral hygiene! You should brush your teeth as usual, but please clean the area where the tooth is missing gently without scrubbing hard to prevent plaque from building up. 🔹 Is it okay to go to the dentist in a few days? If possible, it is best to visit as soon as possible without delaying it. Temporary teeth are not simply worn for aesthetic purposes; they play the following important roles. 🔸 Maintaining gum shape 🔸 Prevents movement of surrounding teeth 🔸 Maintaining space for the final prosthesis 🔸 Authoring Function Assistance If left empty for a long time, the gums may change shape or surrounding teeth may gradually shift, potentially resulting in the final prosthesis, which was carefully prepared, no longer fitting. 🔹 Should I visit the dentist sooner in these cases? It may not be a simple fallout, so you should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms. ⚠️ We recommend seeking medical attention as soon as possible if you experience the following symptoms. ✔ When you feel like the implant is also loose ✔ When severe pain or bleeding persists ✔ When the gums swell noticeably ✔ When pus comes out or there is a strong odor ✔ When the metal part inside the gum moves along with it 🔹 How should I care for temporary teeth so they don't fall out again? You can prevent temporary teeth from falling out with just small changes to your daily habits. You need to take a little more care of your temporary teeth than usual while using them. ✨ Avoid tough foods ✨ Reduce sticky foods ✨ Do not bite on ice ✨ Do not chew excessively in only one direction ✨ Reduce the habit of clenching your teeth ❔ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Can I reuse a temporary tooth if I bring it in even if it breaks? A1. If the temporary tooth has come off cleanly, it can be reattached immediately after lightly cleaning and bringing it in. Even if it is damaged, it is recommended to gather the pieces and bring them in, as the dental clinic needs to check the condition and either modify or remake it. Q2. Food keeps getting stuck in the spot where the temporary tooth fell out. Is it okay to poke around? A2. If you forcefully poke at the missing tooth with a toothpick or similar object, it may cause injury to the gums or increase the risk of infection. We recommend brushing your teeth gently, maintaining oral hygiene through light gargling, and visiting a dentist as soon as possible. 📌 Conclusion Losing a temporary implant tooth is a more common occurrence than you might think during the treatment process. The important thing is not to panic and try to solve it yourself with super glue or the like. Please keep the temporary tooth in its container, avoid chewing food on the treated area, and visit the dentist as soon as your schedule allows to have it checked by the medical staff.

이현섭 원장26.07.01Views 43Likes 3 [Health Column] 5 Things You Must Check for Safe Results Before Implant Surgery[4]
Hello! This is Dr. Lee Jeong-ho, Chief Director of Seoul Dia Dental Clinic. Usually, when people receive a consultation or hear about dental implants at a dental clinic, quite a few of them think to themselves like this. 💬 "Come on, it's just implanting one tooth. Isn't it a simpler surgery than you'd think?" However, it is by no means a simple matter. This is because dental implants are not simply a treatment where a single artificial tooth is placed and finished; rather, it is a precise treatment that requires the perfect alignment of the patient's current physical condition, the state of their gum bone, and their daily lifestyle habits. 📌 Today, the advice I actually give patients the most in the consultation room 5 Key Basic Conditions I will summarize it for you in an easy-to-understand way! 1️⃣ Why should the gum bone be checked before the teeth before implant surgery? The success of an implant depends on a solid and sufficient ' gum bone It is determined based on ' When you look in the mirror, you are bound to see only the empty space and think, "Ah, a tooth is missing in this spot." However, the principle of an implant is to firmly implant an artificial tooth root into the 'gum bone (alveolar bone)' beneath the space where the tooth was missing. It's just like how the soil needs to be firm when planting a tree. 🌱 Therefore, when you visit the dental clinic, the directors will first precisely diagnose the condition of your gum bone. What is important at this time 3 elements It is as follows. 🔸 Bone thickness (Is it wide enough to cover the artificial tooth root?) 🔸 Bone height (Is sufficient length secured?) 🔸 Bone hardness (Is the bone density good enough to provide good fixation?) ⚠️ Even if the gums appear healthy and plump on the outside, a thorough examination reveals that there are surprisingly many cases where the bone underneath has thinned or has already dissolved and been absorbed. If you are planning dental implants, it is essential to first undergo a CT scan to examine the invisible bone structure in three dimensions. 🔍 2️⃣ Why do I need to inform the dentist in advance if I have systemic diseases? Chronic underlying conditions are directly related to bleeding during surgery and recovery, so this is essential information for safety. There are people who cautiously ask, "Doctor, is it okay if I take blood pressure medication?" or "My diabetes is quite severe; is it okay to have surgery?" To start with the conclusion, chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, liver disease, and osteoporosis are all closely linked to implant surgery. ⚠️ This is because implants are a surgical procedure that involves incising the gums and manipulating the bone, so the management of the following three factors is crucial. ✔️ Control of bleeding during and after surgery ✔️ Rapid wound healing ability ✔️ Infection control regarding bacteria 💡 Even if you have systemic diseases ❌, surgery is not impossible. It is to create a customized plan for the safest time to proceed with the surgery and the method to be used. Therefore, please remember that when visiting the dentist, systemic diseases are never a secret to be hidden, but rather valuable data that will ensure the safety of your surgery! 😊 3️⃣ Should I check every single medication you take regularly, even minor treatments? Since the timing of surgery and hemostasis methods vary depending on the type of medication being taken, accurate sharing is necessary. When filling out a dental questionnaire, there is a section to list any medications you are currently taking, right? If you are facing implant surgery, information about your medication is truly more important than anything else. ✨ In particular, the success and safety of the surgery depend significantly on whether the following apply. 📌 blood-related drugs (Aspirin, etc.) 📌 Osteoporosis treatments and injections 📌 anticoagulant component These medications serve as important milestones in determining how to manage hemostasis on the day of surgery or whether to postpone the surgery. 📝 If you cannot remember the name of your medicine, please do not worry. You can simply take a photo of your prescription or medicine bag, or write it down, and we will carefully verify it for you! 4️⃣ How much does your condition the day before surgery affect the implant outcome? Overwork or drinking the day before is the main culprit that significantly increases pain and bleeding on the day. No matter how skilled a doctor is, if the implant is performed with a perfect plan, the difficulty of the surgery increases significantly if the patient's condition is poor on the day of the operation. 😢 It is most advisable to get dental implants when your body is in peak condition. ⚠️ Alcohol consumed late the previous day (drinking) ⚠️ Sleep deprivation caused by tossing and turning ⚠️ Overwork due to accumulated excessive schedule If you lie on the operating table in this state, your blood vessels will expand, causing a noticeable increase in bleeding during surgery compared to usual. Not only will your recovery speed slow down after surgery, but you may also feel much sharper and more severe pain when you wake up from anesthesia. ✔️ Take a complete break from alcohol for just one day 🙅♂️ ✔️ Go to bed early at night and get enough restful sleep 💤 5️⃣ What is a more fundamental question than "Doctor, can I have surgery today?" Finding the 'most correct timing' suited to the patient's periodontal condition is the priority, rather than speed. Perhaps because many people visiting the dental clinic for consultations are impatient, they frequently ask this question. 🙋♂️ "Director, it's hard for me to make time. Since I'm here today, can't you plant it for me right away?" Of course, if examination results show that the bone is very strong and there is absolutely no inflammation, there are cases where treatment involving immediate implantation on the same day is possible. However, from the medical team's perspective, there is a different question that must be asked with much greater weight than whether or not surgery is performed on the same day. ✨ "Would it really be suitable for the patient in the long term to plant it right now in this condition?" If severe inflammation remains at the extraction site, a preliminary step of thoroughly scraping out and cleaning the inflamed tissue may be necessary; additionally, if the bone tissue is weak, it may be much more beneficial to wait until the gum bone recovers and becomes firmer on its own before proceeding. Ultimately, dental implants are not a race against time to see 'how quickly you can get it done,' but a battle of precision to see 'how to install it at the most appropriate timing with the fewest side effects.' This seemingly minor difference in timing will result in a significant difference in outcome a few years later, determining whether you can use your implant properly for a long time. 💡 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been taking osteoporosis medication for a long time. Will this significantly interfere with implant surgery? A1. Certain ingredients commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis (such as bisphosphonates and denosumab) have the property of inhibiting the bone metabolic process in which bone is absorbed and regenerated. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly examine the patient's medication history and duration prior to surgery. However, taking medication does not automatically mean that surgery is impossible; the plan will be safely modified after comprehensively reviewing the form of the medication (oral or injectable), the specific duration of use, and the status of underlying diseases. Never stop taking the medication on your own; please be sure to consult closely with your prescribing physician and dentist! ⚠️ Q2. Is it really a problem to have a light drink or two of beer or soju the night before surgery? A2. Yes, the effect is more noticeable than expected. Even a small amount of alcohol instantly dilates blood vessels upon entering the body, which can cause bleeding to be difficult to stop during surgery and may interfere with the effectiveness of the anesthetic. Please let go of the thought that "it will be okay a little" and I recommend taking a full day of rest the day before. 🙅♂️ 🔸 Conclusion When it comes to implant treatment, the top priority is to rationally determine "whether proceeding now is the best course of action given my physical condition," rather than unconditionally focusing on "how quickly the procedure can be finished, like lightning." Make sure to fully absorb what we covered today! 🧠 1️⃣ Thoroughly check the condition of the gum bone inside rather than the exterior 2️⃣ Do not hide your systemic diseases; use them as a compass for surgery. 3️⃣ Share all information about your daily medication, no matter how minor. 4️⃣ Protect your body by maintaining optimal condition the night before surgery 5️⃣ Entering at the optimal time rather than deciding on immediate surgery on the same day 💡 If you follow these commitments step-by-step with the medical team, there is no need to harbor excessive fear about the surgery, nor is there any reason to rush. Sometimes, treatment is like life itself; the more urgent the situation, the slower and more standard the path becomes—the safest and fastest shortcut. 🦷 If you have any questions about your bone condition or medications, feel free to consult with medical professionals at any time!

My teeth are damaged, so I was wondering about implants. I also wanted to know the cost and treatment duration. I received a consultation for dental implant surgery at Eteunteun Dental Clinic. I registered and had a CT scan. I had a consultation with a staff member at the counseling office first. I explained that I would need a lot of implants. They said it would take a little time because I have cavities. They showed me the CT scan and pointed out the current condition of my teeth. They explained that the tooth root has a cavity and needs treatment. There was also an explanation and medical treatment from the doctor. It took a little while to wait. The staff were friendly. They said the price varies depending on the condition. I trusted them because they explained that they could confidently perform dental implants.
김민정26.06.26Views 76Likes 0 The implant consultation at Yonsei First Dental Clinic in Sangdong, Gyeonggi-do was great.[14]
Recently, I need an implant for one of my molars due to gum disease... I realized that when it comes to dental implants, you really need to visit various places and get advice. At first, I was receiving counseling near my neighborhood, I received an implant consultation at Yonsei First Dental Clinic in Sangdong, which was recommended by an acquaintance. First of all, there were a lot of reviews, and the facilities felt modern, so I trusted it. Also, there were really a lot of patients. It was a bit of a shame that the waiting time was long, but since a lot of people means they are good, it was okay. After that, I consulted with a doctor, and they examined me very thoroughly. It was great that you introduced other options besides implants, and also explained potential side effects and the direction of treatment after the consultation! They quoted a perfectly reasonable price, and there was no over-treatment. I definitely think a dental clinic with a well-structured system is one you can comfortably trust and leave your care to. First off, I will think about it a bit more, but I am considering getting implants at Yonsei First Dental Clinic. Certainly, things like the doctor's reputation and the dental clinic's equipment seem important because they increase credibility. If you are considering dental implants, I recommend visiting Yonsei First Dental Clinic for a consultation.
김대박26.06.25Views 73Likes 1 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment.

이현섭 원장26.06.24Views 176Likes 2 How to Reduce Cost and Pain from Your Major Implant Surgery[3]
It is only natural to feel a sudden surge of fear when you receive an implant diagnosis during a dental check-up. After all, there are plenty of concerns, ranging from the long treatment period and hefty cost to the pain of surgery. In times like these, it is crucial to find a clinic specializing in implants through recommendations from acquaintances or reviews. If a place transparently discloses additional costs and administers anesthesia meticulously to minimize pain, even a timid person can successfully complete the procedure.
말해뭐해26.06.24Views 62Likes 2 I received an implant consultation at Hanbit Dental Clinic, and the explanation was really thorough.[18]
I had been experiencing persistent discomfort and loose teeth, so I was considering dental implants and decided to get a consultation at Hanbit Dental Clinic. Since implants are a long-term treatment with a high cost, I wanted to research the matter carefully. At Hanbit Dental Clinic, they explained everything calmly from the start, which made the consultation very comfortable. During the consultation, the director of Hanbit Dental Clinic thoroughly examined my current dental condition and explained the reasons for needing implants, the treatment process, and the estimated duration in an easy-to-understand manner. I had vaguely thought of implants as something difficult, but thanks to the detailed explanations provided, many of my questions were resolved. In particular, I was impressed by how Hanbit Dental Clinic honestly explained my current condition and treatment plan rather than simply recommending treatment. I felt confident because they provided detailed information regarding costs, care methods, and precautions. Even though I had many questions, they answered kindly, allowing me to receive the consultation without feeling pressured. The hospital atmosphere was tidy and the staff were friendly, so I felt much less nervous on my first visit. I realized that even for the same implant consultation, the way explanations are given and the atmosphere differ from hospital to hospital, and I was satisfied with Hanbit Dental Clinic for explaining things from the patient's perspective without any excessive pressure. If you are considering dental implants, I think it is important to compare several places and receive consultations in person. Personally, I gained trust during my consultation at Hanbit Dental Clinic thanks to the thorough explanations and kind service, which was very helpful in establishing a treatment plan.
뽀또26.06.23Views 76Likes 0 [Dapsimni The Sem Sehan Dental Clinic] I was worried about the skill level and cost before the implant consultation.[18]
I was recommended implant treatment at the dental clinic I usually go to. I didn't have any particular pain or anything, but I felt like something was getting stuck between my teeth much more than before, so when I asked about it, they said it seemed like my gums were inflamed and receding. I hesitated because I heard it was costly and takes a considerable amount of time, and now a lot of time has passed. A new dental clinic opened much closer than the one I used to go to. The hospital I used to go to requires a bit of a walk, but the new hospital is right in front of me, so I thought it would be better to go to the closer one, so I chose Dapsimni's. More delicate dental care I ended up visiting Since it's a new hospital, the facilities are clean, and I assume the equipment is likely new as well. However, since it is a newly opened place, there is no information about the clinic or Google reviews, and because I have absolutely no basis to judge whether the doctor is truly skilled, I was worried about their competence and the cost. Since the hospital is newly opened and the interior is white-toned, I got a very clean impression. The teachers were really kind. They also clearly explained the differences and pros and cons of implants by price range, allowing me to make an informed choice. I realized that all the things I was worried about before going were unnecessary. The accessibility is excellent, and there is nothing to complain about regarding the facilities or the service, so I thought I should use this place regularly.
켈리장26.06.18Views 117Likes 2 (Gangim Gangjeong Seoul Dental Clinic) My biggest concern was the side effects of the implant.[15]
As I get older, I experience tooth sensitivity and pain, so I have been very interested in dental implants. However, I am very worried because several people around me have suffered from implant side effects. I have heard about side effects where improperly placed implants affect existing teeth, cause gum sensitivity, and make it difficult to eat. So, I was looking for the best dental clinic near my home, and I ended up visiting Gangim Gangjeong Seoul Dental Clinic because it is famous for its good reviews and highly skilled directors. I visited the clinic with concerns, as improper implant procedures can lead to severe pain due to side effects. However, the director sincerely addressed my worries and recommended the safest and most beneficial procedure possible, which gave me confidence. As a result, my worries about implant side effects have significantly decreased, and I feel relieved.

The price of Os* implants varies greatly from dental clinic to dental clinic. From a patient's perspective, dental clinics offering discounts are naturally more appealing. I was surprised to hear that even Os* implants have different grades. I heard that the SA grade is the best... Is it possible to know from the patient's perspective?

I have a molar where almost all the alveolar bone has eroded away due to inflammation. I have been hesitating and unable to get the implant because I was afraid it would be too painful, from the bone graft to the implant itself. I have a bit of a phobia of dental pain. So, to find out how much pain I would experience, I visited Jamsil UPenn Barun Dental Clinic and received a consultation regarding bone graft and implant pain. You explained everything kindly. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before, and my perspective on the pain I used to vaguely fear has become more positive. So, I am thinking of getting dental implants at Jamsil UPenn Barun Dental Clinic.

I had previously had a molar extracted and left it untreated, so my biggest concern before getting an implant was side effects. I had seen quite a few cases on the internet and other media where people experienced complications after implants. However, having my molar extracted for such a long time was also uncomfortable. So, I visited Seoul S Dental Clinic in Jamsil for a consultation regarding implant surgery. I asked many questions about the side effects of implants, and they answered kindly and in detail. After the consultation, my perspective on the implant procedure has become more positive than before, so I plan to get the procedure done at Seoul S Dental Clinic in Jamsil.

An acquaintance of mine had been looking into dental implants for a long time and recently got a molar implant. They said that while the high cost of implants was a concern, they were also worried because they saw people around them falling out quickly even after getting them. Then, I saw an advertisement and went to Noble Dental Clinic in Suwon. I heard that Noble Dental Clinic is a three-story building, and it was good because there are many doctors with specialists in each department, as well as the latest digital equipment. Furthermore, perhaps because it is a dental clinic with its own laboratory, they say the cost of implants is affordable. They said they were worried about the implant, but felt reassured because the doctors were kind and explained everything in detail. They also recommended it to me, saying that the treatment was thorough and delicate, so they received good care without any pain or anxiety. Even though my acquaintance is on the sensitive side, seeing them rave about how great it is, I think I should go there next time too.

Recently, my lower molar has been severely sensitive and throbbing, making it difficult to chew properly and causing me some trouble. I kept putting it off, but eventually decided to get a proper check-up, so I made an appointment and visited Resom Dental Clinic near my home. Even before going, I was worrying about everything on my own, thinking things like, "Am I going to need an implant at this rate?" and "I heard it costs a lot and is really painful..." I arrived at the dental clinic, had X-rays and a 3D CT scan, and received a full consultation with the director. As I had feared, I was diagnosed with severe inflammation near the root of my molar and advised that it would be best to proceed with extraction followed by an implant. I was suddenly terrified, but fortunately, the director and the office manager at Resom Dental Clinic were very kind and explained everything in detail. Since I am very sensitive to pain, I asked if the anesthesia or surgery would be very painful. They reassured me, saying that nowadays painless anesthesia systems are well-developed and the process is conducted in stages to minimize discomfort, so I should not worry too much. They mentioned that fortunately, my bone condition was not bad, so a minimal bone graft would likely be sufficient. I felt confident because they provided transparent guidance on the overall treatment process, duration, and even the cost—which was my biggest concern—without any unnecessary procedures.

Why are implants recommended even if you are missing only one tooth?[4]
I don't think having just one tooth is a big problem. I am wondering if the loss of one tooth affects the surrounding teeth. I don't think they are recommending implants simply because of the discomfort.

They say that the gums on the lower left and upper side have almost completely receded, and there are hardly any tooth roots left. I am currently visiting the dentist regularly for maintenance. If I get an implant, will I not have to worry about that tooth for the rest of my life? If an implanted tooth wears down, do I have to get it done again?

I had to get an implant because I was missing a lower premolar. I've consulted with several hospitals. My biggest concerns at first were the pain after the implant surgery and the cost. I liked Himplat Dental Clinic the best. First of all, the price was reasonable because it was during the implant discount period. The director explained my dental condition in detail, Especially to make it easier to understand the condition of my teeth and bones by looking at the photos I felt confident because you explained it so well. The implant surgery didn't hurt much because of the anesthesia. I was scared and worried for no reason. I had a lot of bone grafts because I didn't have enough bone, so I swelled up quite a bit, but I recovered quickly. Choosing the right dental clinic is really important for dental implants. Himplat Dental Clinic is the best.

꼬영이26.06.14Views 64Likes 1 I was worried about pain before the implant surgery at Top Dental Clinic.[13]
I had a 15-year-old crowned tooth extracted because it developed cavities. When I was looking into implant surgery, my biggest concerns were the cost and the pain. It was a relief that there were still many dental clinics offering discounts on costs... As someone with a fear of dentists, I was really scared and afraid of implant surgery. I visited Top Dental Clinic for a consultation on a friend's recommendation... The director was kind and nice, and he thoroughly explained the condition of my teeth and bones after taking the panoramic X-ray and CT scan. That really put my mind at ease. They helped me stay calm on the day of the surgery as well. Thanks to the director and hygienist, who were so considerate and made sure I didn't feel any pain, I was able to successfully have the implant surgery. Since I had anesthesia, it wasn't as painful as I had feared, the swelling was less, and the pain was bearable with painkillers. To those of you facing implants, please don't worry too much. Even a scaredy-cat like me managed to get through it safely. Top Dental Clinic really gets a perfect score of 100 out of 100.

I was just worried because my teeth were damaged. I should have gone to the dentist in advance, but I couldn't. I am expecting to get an implant, but I couldn't even visit a doctor and was worried about the pain and cost. The biggest concerns are pain and cost. I decided to have a consultation at Seoul Smiling Face Dental Clinic. The reason I visited is that an acquaintance recommended it to me because they had received treatment there. I chose Seoul Smiling Face Dental Clinic because it looked neat and professional from the outside. After completing the registration, I waited in the waiting room. I checked the condition of my teeth while seeing the doctor first. It was a kind consultation, and they explained the condition of my teeth. I received additional consultation regarding implants, which resolved many of my questions. I felt more comfortable than I expected because a lot of my worries about the dentist were relieved. I recommend this to those with similar concerns.

While reading posts related to dental treatment, I noticed many stories about implants. There are also cases where it is done immediately after a tooth is lost. I heard that there are cases where it is done after some time has passed. I am wondering when I should do this to expect better results. I also saw that the condition of the gums is important. I am more curious about whether it can be used for a long time than the cost. I would also like to know how long the treatment takes. I would like to hear the opinions of those who have actually experienced this.

Since I needed multiple implant procedures, my biggest concern during the consultation was the cost. The hospital I visited for an implant consultation was Gimhae Myeongpum Dental Clinic. The reason I visited was to receive a consultation regarding the implant procedure. The reason I chose this hospital is that I initially went there based on a family recommendation, but after receiving dental and oral treatment here, the director was very kind and treated me well. During the consultation, the director reviewed the recorded video and provided a clear explanation of the approximate cost and the implant procedure, including the number of implants required. After the actual visit, I was able to formulate an overall plan for the implant procedure, and the director provided detailed explanations based on numerous videos, Even though the price is a bit high, I recommend it to those who have similar concerns as me.

I need to get dental implants, but I was very worried because other places said I needed a bone graft. There is the financial burden, and it seems like the treatment process will be long. I couldn't make a decision easily. Before the visit, my biggest concerns were whether a bone graft was really necessary and how long the treatment would take and how much it would cost. After visiting Seon Dental Hospital for a consultation, they thoroughly assessed my current condition and explained that in my case, implants are possible without a bone graft. I was also able to fully resolve my questions by receiving detailed information regarding the costs and treatment process. After the consultation, my vague anxiety decreased significantly, and I trusted them even more because it seemed like they only recommended necessary treatments. Thanks to this, it was a great help in establishing a treatment plan.

I went for a dental check-up for the first time in a while and received shocking test results saying that I need to get dental implants. First of all, before visiting, I was worried about the extremely long treatment period for implants and the significant financial burden. I was also afraid of the pain. I heard from people around me that getting implants done at a specialized clinic would at least save me some trouble, so I visited Jo Hoon Dental Clinic, which is famous for implant procedures, based on a friend's recommendation. As rumored, the doctor was kind, and above all, the receptionist kindly explained the treatment process in detail, which gave me confidence and made me want to visit again. As expected, perhaps because it is a place famous for implant treatment, just as the rumors say. I received the implant procedure without any significant pain throughout the treatment. I recommended it to my family members who needed dental implants, and they also received the procedure.

I needed dental implants, so after searching and researching various places, the dental clinic I decided on is Today Implant Dental Clinic. I chose this place because it has the latest equipment and facilities, is clean, and they do a lot of implants. My biggest concern was whether I would be able to use it as comfortably as I do. I was hesitant because I saw people around me struggling with implants that didn't work well, but I had no choice but to get an implant since it was necessary after the extraction. After a long consultation, I began the implant procedure. It took longer than expected, which made me sigh a bit, but since it is best to tailor the treatment to the condition of my teeth and gums, I was able to successfully complete the implant despite the time required. I am currently visiting regularly for checkups and managing my condition well. As for the comfort I was most worried about, I am using it without any discomfort during meals or daily activities. I was very worried about the implant, but I am relieved that it was completed successfully, and I am taking good care of it consistently.
애플26.06.11Views 103Likes 2 [Health Column] Why a Good Implant Clinic Can Even Improve Wrinkles Around the Mouth[5]
Hello! I am the Chief Director of Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic. Kim Hyung-seok no see. "Doctor, ever since I lost my tooth, I feel like my face has suddenly aged a lot... 😢" This is one of the common concerns that patients visiting our dental clinic cautiously bring up while looking in the mirror. It is truly heartbreaking whenever I see them upset about how I am not the same as I used to be, going beyond simply finding it difficult to chew food. In fact, if you leave missing teeth untreated for a long time, the strength supporting your lips disappears, causing the corners of your mouth to sink in and your chin to gradually move closer to your nose. This is not just a matter of feeling, but determines the overall height of our face Because the 'occlusion' has collapsed That's what it is! If you have been concerned about drastic facial changes and wrinkles after tooth loss, see how implant treatment can heal your precious smile and Improvement of wrinkles around the mouth Please make sure to read this post to the end to see if I can help you! 1️⃣ Why does a collapsed 'occlusal height' accelerate facial aging? 🔸 Teeth are the strongest pillars supporting the height of the lower part of the face. In medical terms, the vertical distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin when we close our mouths tightly. occlusal height It is called. Teeth not only function to chew food, but as it turns out, they play a very important role as pillars that maintain a constant height of the lower part of our face. 💡 Facial changes that occur when teeth are lost ▶ Collapse of the pillar: If several teeth are lost or severely worn down, the height of this pillar decreases, causing the entire face to sink downward. ▶ Wrinkle deepening: When the height decreases like this, the muscles around the lips lose elasticity and curl inward. As a result, the philtrum appears longer, and the nasolabial folds become much deeper and more pronounced. ▶ Loss of dimensionality: Teeth act as a support point that holds up the lip and cheek muscles from the inside; as this support disappears, the soft tissues sag rapidly, causing even the three-dimensionality of the face to vanish. 📌 A word of advice from the director The facial changes I thought were simply wrinkles caused by a loss of skin elasticity were actually due to lost teeth Because the basic structure of the face has changed This may be a result of what has appeared. Therefore, dental treatment is necessary to address the underlying cause. 2️⃣ How is the precise prosthetic design that restores facial balance carried out? 🔸 The skeletal characteristics and muscle relaxation points, which differ for each patient, must be analyzed in three dimensions. To naturally restore the facial impression altered after tooth loss, a customized prosthetic design that considers each patient's unique skeletal characteristics is of the utmost importance. This is because the height at which people feel most comfortable in their mouths varies from person to person, and the point where facial muscles naturally relax also differs. ⚠️ Avoid simply adjusting the height: You should not adjust the height based solely on mechanical measurements. You must precisely analyze the trajectory of the jaw joint's movement and the tension of the surrounding muscles in three dimensions. ✨ Achieve a natural mouth shape: Only by undergoing this process can you ensure that your jaw joint remains unstrained over time. Furthermore, it allows you to maintain a soft and natural impression without your mouth feeling awkwardly stiff when smiling or speaking. 🔎 Fine angle adjustment: If the procedure is performed without considering individual characteristics, you may be able to chew food functionally, but it can look very awkward. Therefore, it is essential to finely adjust the thickness and angle so that the prosthesis properly supports the lip and cheek muscles. 3️⃣ Why does a prosthodontist's perspective determine the aesthetic perfection? 🔸 It comprehensively predicts everything from the invisible movements of the jaw joint to the visible facial proportions. The detailed occlusal design and facial restoration process, which requires such a high degree of precision, is precisely Prosthodontics specialist This is the field where [company's] core competencies shine the brightest. 💡 What is a Prosthodontics Specialist? It refers to medical staff who have conducted in-depth research on 'overall prosthetic design and occlusion' and accumulated extensive experience at training hospitals certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Implants do not simply end with the placement of artificial teeth. It requires the insight to accurately predict, based on data, how the patient's overall facial proportions will change once the final prosthesis is in place. The role of a prosthodontist is even more critical, especially for those who have lost multiple teeth. Even a single very minute height error can affect the entire This is because occlusal balance can be disrupted all at once. no see. Only when accompanied by precision that comprehensively considers everything from the minute, invisible movements of the jaw joint to the visible facial proportions, You can expect satisfactory results in both function and appearance. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Q1. Does getting dental implants really smooth out nasolabial folds or wrinkles around the mouth? A1. If the wrinkles are caused by a lowered occlusal height (the height of the lower part of the face) due to tooth loss or wear, you can expect improvement. Re-establishing the collapsed posts with implant prostheses firmly supports the lip and cheek muscles from the inside, resulting in aesthetic reconstruction that restores sunken corners of the mouth and alleviates wrinkles. Q2. Is this treatment a special method different from standard implants? A2. While the essence of the treatment is the implant, the approach is different. Going beyond simply placing teeth in empty spaces, it includes a highly advanced prosthetic treatment process that involves designing custom-made prosthetics on a 1:1 basis through a comprehensive data-based analysis of jaw joint movement, muscle tension, and even the golden ratio of the face when smiling. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful choices create a healthy and beautiful smile ▶ Risk of tooth loss: Leaving missing teeth untreated does not simply result in the loss of the pleasure of chewing food. Before you even realize it, the balance of your entire face is disrupted, wrinkles around the mouth deepen, and it becomes a cause of losing confidence in your appearance. ▶ The Essence of Treatment: Dental implants are not merely a one-dimensional treatment of simply placing artificial teeth into empty spaces. They are a highly advanced prosthetic treatment that restores facial height and firmly supports the lip and cheek muscles from within, reconstructing the smile and facial features of your healthiest and most authentic self. ▶ Criteria for prudent judgment: For satisfactory results, it is essential to thoroughly examine your current oral structure and occlusion rather than making a hasty decision regarding treatment.

He says that although it is not perfect, it is best to use his own natural teeth, so he is delaying implants as much as possible. However, feeling my condition changing year by year, I had a brief consultation regarding implants. There are three main concerns when it comes to dental implants: cost, pain, and duration. For me, it was the cost. People say implants are affordable these days, but when you actually look into it, the cost is exactly the price of the implant itself. If you include structural repairs and treatment costs, the price is quite steep. I went to Nowon Hub Dental Clinic for a consultation because it is my regular clinic and they are a place that never over-treats. In fact, looking solely at the cost, there wasn't much difference, but since they presented all expenses incurred during the treatment period at once, I was able to at least reduce the burden of additional costs.

It didn't hurt to have my tooth extracted, and the doctor was kind, so I think I will keep coming back.

Since it was my first time receiving this treatment, my biggest concerns before the implant surgery were as follows: 1) Pain and Anesthesia How painful is the anesthesia? What if the anesthesia wears off during the surgery? Will it hurt when the bone graft material is inserted? 2) Bone graft implant failure What if it fails because it doesn't fuse well with my bone... 3) Swelling and daily life What if my face swells up severely or bruises after the surgery? Will it swell enough that I have to take time off work? Do I need to adjust the schedule? I was lying in the operating room after having my face and mouth disinfected, and I can't forget the tension. That was the moment my heart beat the fastest!! Once I actually got the anesthesia, the only scary things during the surgery were the sound of the machines and the faint vibrations in my head; since I had absolutely no sensation, it actually felt anticlimactic. Am I... scared???!!! lol The surgery went well without any complications, unlike I expected. I had an X-ray taken, listened to the instructions, and came home. Since I applied ice packs properly and took painkillers on time, the pain was definitely much less than I had feared. That is a really great tip. I was careful not to touch the bone graft site as much as possible because irritating it can interfere with the grafted bone, and I also avoided using straws. If you worry a lot like me, Please make a decision after thoroughly researching and comparing clinical experience and hospital cases. It will definitely be helpful!

I visited Inners Dental Clinic after hearing that I might need an implant. I knew my teeth were bothering me, but I couldn't easily make a decision because of the high cost and my lack of knowledge about the procedure.

In particular, the detailed explanation regarding the cost, which was my biggest concern, significantly reduced my vague worries.

As I get older, I have been experiencing tooth sensitivity and pain, so I have been very interested in dental implants. However, I was very concerned because I heard that if the procedure is performed incorrectly, the side effects can cause severe pain and prolonged suffering. In the meantime, I visited Gangim Gangjeong Seoul Dental Clinic because it was famous for its good reviews and highly skilled directors. As a dental clinic specializing in implants, the directors are all highly skilled and were also giving lectures to other dentists. I received a consultation with concerns because I know that if implants are not performed properly, the side effects can cause severe pain. Although the director is the top expert, he did not perform the procedure unilaterally; instead, he sincerely addressed my concerns during the consultation and recommended the safest and most beneficial procedure possible, which gave me confidence. Also, when receiving treatment, I prefer to use my own teeth as much as possible, and after consulting with Gangim Gangjeong Seoul Dental Clinic, I think it is good that they minimize tooth removal in this regard as well.

I just got an implant consultation at Jeonju Healthy Dental Clinic. As I get older, many parts of my body start breaking down, but it really upsets me that my teeth are weakening, causing me to lose the joy of eating. One of my molars was in poor condition, so I couldn't chew properly and the pain was constant; I felt I couldn't put it off any longer. I thought I probably needed an implant, but I hesitated because it is such an expensive and painful procedure that I was scared. However, my neighbors tipped me off that this place is honest and does a good job, so I mustered up the courage to visit. I was actually a bit nervous and scared about going to the dentist at my age, but when I opened the door and went inside, the interior was very clean and cozy, so my anxiety subsided a little. After waiting a short while, I met with the director for a consultation. He showed me photos of my teeth and explained the treatment process step-by-step, tailored to my level of understanding. Honestly, I was full of worries regarding the cost and pain, but he recommended only the necessary treatments and spoke to me in a warm, comforting way, which really built my trust. The nurses were all so gentle and kind, so overall, I was left with the impression that this is a very comfortable hospital. I feel so relieved knowing that I can receive treatment here with peace of mind.

Do you know that the final stage of an implant is just as important as the surgery itself? hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic I am the director. When it comes to implant treatment, many people tend to consider only the 'surgical process' of simply implanting artificial teeth into the gum bone to be the most important. Of course, a successful implant surgery is very important. However, in order to use the implant stably for a long time without side effects, the procedures performed after surgery Implant impression The process must never be taken lightly either. This is because the impression-taking stage is precisely what makes teeth look natural like real teeth and helps you chew food comfortably. Final prosthesis (crown) This is because it is the core process that determines the form and interlocking of ' 1️⃣ What exactly is taking an impression for an implant? 🦷 This is the stage of obtaining design data to create custom artificial teeth that fit perfectly in my mouth. Implant impression taking is a process that accurately records the precise location, angle, depth, and even the shape of the surrounding gums of an implant successfully placed in the jawbone, without the slightest margin of error. 💡 Director's One-Line Advice Even if the implant surgery is completed perfectly, if the impression is inaccurate and the final prosthesis does not fit in your mouth, you will experience significant discomfort every time you chew food. Not only does food constantly get trapped between teeth, but in the long run, it can even lead to gum inflammation or fractures of dental prosthetics, so you must be very careful. 2️⃣ When is the implant impression taken after surgery? 🦷 The artificial tooth firmly attaches to the gum bone Bone fusion process It starts after gum stabilization is complete. Taking impressions is not performed immediately after the surgery is finished. The first step is for the implant to stably settle into the gum bone and firmly bond cellularly and genetically. Bone fusion process You must pass through safely. Afterward, once the wound has healed and the surrounding gums have naturally settled into a stable state, the actual impression-taking process begins. In other words, you can understand this as the stage immediately before the final prosthesis is precisely fabricated and placed, after all the surgery has been completely finished. 3️⃣ How does the implant impression process proceed? 🦷 It undergoes a detailed process consisting of a total of four steps, from checking the condition of the gums to precision fabrication. 🔹 Step 1: Check gum condition First of all, we carefully check whether the patient's gums are currently stable enough to take an impression. If there is unresolved inflammation or swollen gums, it is difficult to take a precise impression; therefore, if necessary, we will first clean and manage the gums before proceeding. 🔹 Step 2: Record implant location To transmit the depth, direction, and angle of the implanted implant to the dental laboratory without the slightest error, a dedicated precision component is attached to the implant to obtain a record. 🔹 Step 3: Taking an Impression We use high-precision silicone-based impression materials to create a precise mold of the patient's oral structure. At this time, depending on the patient's condition, the number and location of implants, etc., we select and proceed with the most suitable technique between the open tray method and the closed tray method. 🔹 Step 4: Fabrication of the prosthesis Based on the precise design data obtained in this way, a specialized dental laboratory begins fabricating custom abutments and crowns. At this stage, the medical team conveys a clear direction for fabrication to the dental laboratory, taking into account the patient's original tooth color, shape, occlusal relationship, and even the aesthetic gum line. 4️⃣ Why must implant impressions be accurate without the slightest margin of error? 🦷 If the impression is inaccurate, the quality of the prosthesis decreases, leading to a shortened lifespan of the implant. 📌 Imbalance of chewing force (occlusion abnormality) If the occlusion of the prosthesis is slightly misaligned, abnormally excessive force will be concentrated on specific areas when chewing food. If this condition persists, the prosthesis may break or the internal screw may loosen, and it will also place a significant burden on the bone surrounding the implant. 📌 Food impaction and gum inflammation If the fine boundary shape between the prosthesis and the gum does not fit perfectly, food particles will constantly get trapped in the gap after meals. If debris accumulates repeatedly, it dissolves the bone supporting the implant. Peri-implantitis The risk of occurrence of ' increases sharply. 📌 Reduced aesthetics (awkward tooth line) Especially for visible areas like the front teeth, the shape of the teeth must flow naturally with the surrounding gum line. If the impression is not precise, the boundary between the gum and the prosthesis may appear unnatural or look like a dark empty space, resulting in an unsightly appearance. 5️⃣ What is the difference between digital scanning and regular tracing? 🦷 We apply the most optimized recording method tailored to the patient's oral condition and treatment case. Recently, in addition to the traditional method of putting sticky impression material into the mouth and waiting for it to harden, Oral scanner We are using a lot of digital methods that utilize [this]. Digital scanning provides a very pleasant and comfortable treatment environment for those who usually experience severe nausea when dental materials enter their mouths or suffer from a foreign body sensation. ⚠️ Wait a minute! However, the digital method is not always the answer. Depending on the patient's individual oral condition, the implant site to be treated, and the complexity of the procedure, there are cases where the conventional silicone impression method is much more precise and suitable. Therefore, it is important to consult with experienced medical professionals to choose the customized approach best suited to your condition. 6️⃣ What are the pre- and post-treatment precautions for the successful completion of the prosthesis? 🦷 Thorough oral hygiene management before and after taking impressions, along with proper eating habits, builds strong teeth. Before and after taking impressions for implants, the key is to keep your gums clean and healthy to prevent swelling. This is because the gum condition must be perfectly stable to obtain the most accurate impression without error. ✔️ Please brush your teeth carefully and thoroughly after every meal. ✔️ Please be sure to use dental floss and interdental brushes together to thoroughly clean the gaps between your teeth and gums. ⚠️ If you experience symptoms such as swollen gums or bleeding while brushing before taking an impression, please inform the medical staff immediately for a precise diagnosis. ⚠️ During the period when you have the temporary prosthesis fitted after the impression is taken, you must avoid hard or sticky foods to prevent detachment or fracture. If you experience any unusual symptoms while using your prosthetics, such as slight discomfort or pain, do not hesitate to contact your dentist immediately for assistance. 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I thought the treatment would be finished once the surgery to implant the bone was successfully completed, but was that not the case? A1. Yes, that is correct. On top of the firmly implanted structure, 'a perfect fit for the patient's oral structure and occlusion Final custom prosthesis (crown) Only when it is seated without any error can all implant treatments be successfully and safely completed. You must receive precise management right up to the final molding stage to ensure safety. Q2. I had a really hard time before when the dentist took impressions because I felt like I was going to throw up. Will it be the same this time? A2. If you have dental phobia due to the foreign body sensation or nausea characteristic of traditional rubber impression materials, lightly photograph the inside of your mouth with a camera Oral scanner A digital scanning method based on this can be an excellent alternative. However, since applicability may vary depending on the individual's clinical case, please inform us in advance before your appointment so we can provide customized guidance. 🎯 Conclusion: You must be thorough down to the very last step for your teeth to become truly yours. Taking impressions for implants is not merely a light rite of passage during the final stages of treatment. This is a critical step that determines the fate of the treatment and must be accurately completed to ensure that the implant I made a big decision to have blends in naturally like my real teeth, allows me to chew food comfortably, and lasts for many years without side effects. Rather than becoming complacent and neglecting care simply because the surgery was successful, we recommend that you receive meticulous care under the guidance of the medical team and undergo regular check-ups until the final prosthesis fits perfectly in your mouth.

이현섭 원장26.06.04Views 263Likes 3 [Health Column] 3 Things More Important Than Implant Costs: Criteria for Choosing a Failure-Free Clinic[2]
✨ Hello! We always put your dental health first. SmileD Dental Clinic, Chief Director Oh Su-hwan It is. 🥰 When considering dental implant treatment, many of you likely search by comparing with the 'lowest price' as your top priority. 🔍 However, it is truly heartbreaking to see patients in the consultation room who have hastily chosen a hospital based solely on cost, only to come to me later suffering from poor follow-up care or unexpected side effects. 😢 In fact, dental implants are not simply a surgery where you implant an artificial tooth and that's it; it is a highly precise treatment process that requires a perfect balance of three factors, from accurate pre-operative diagnosis to long-term maintenance. 🦷 Today, I will clearly summarize the 3 criteria for choosing a truly fail-safe implant dental clinic that are hidden behind the price! 👇 1️⃣ Implant experience and Total Treatment Is this a place where it is possible? ✨My precious Harmony between natural teeth and implants Check out the comprehensive medical care system that preserves and cares for together Many people choose a hospital after seeing the phrase "implant specialist" in an advertisement. However, under our country's medical system, there is no separate specialty called 'Implantology,' and actual treatment is completed through close collaboration among various dental subspecialties. The key point we must focus on here is that rather than a dental clinic that insists solely on implant placement, the patient's inherent preciousness 'Total Dental Clinic' that comprehensively considers natural teeth and implants It is to select. This is because inside our mouths, there are not only spaces that need to be newly implanted, but also natural teeth that must be saved and used for a long time. Furthermore, our medical team, having honed their proficiency through countless implant placements, possesses solid know-how to ensure safe and successful treatment even in unexpected, high-difficulty cases encountered during surgery. 2️⃣ Is it an 'explanation-centered' hospital that communicates with patients? Rushing treatment based solely on the counseling manager's guidance without a doctor's careful diagnosis Factory-style dental clinic Be vigilant The so-called practice of receiving a precise diagnosis from a doctor very briefly, and then hastily proceeding with a contract based solely on the consultation manager's words regarding specific treatment plans or surgery decisions. Factory-style dental clinic You must be cautious. ⚠️ Implant treatment is between the patient and the medical team Information asymmetry This is an area where it can occur very severely. 📉 If a patient undergoes surgery without fully understanding the details of the treatment, it becomes very difficult to clearly determine liability if side effects or problems arise later. Fully explaining the surgical process and the patient's condition and communicating closely with them is itself an excellent first step in treatment. Make sure to keep a close eye on whether the hospital operates an official blog or YouTube channel to actively communicate and resolve even the smallest questions from patients, and whether the doctor makes a kind effort to help patients understand during in-person consultations! 💬 3️⃣ Is there a 'post-care' program that takes responsibility until the very end? ✨ Check out the thorough regular check-up system to prevent side effects that are scarier than the implant itself Implant treatment does not end once the artificial tooth is safely implanted into the gum; it is a long journey where 'real care begins from that moment.' 🏁 Signs of complications and side effects, such as slight loosening of the prosthesis or gum swelling, appear very subtly in the early stages, making it extremely difficult for patients to notice them on their own. Therefore, periodic and thorough regular checkups are an absolute necessity. 🔍 If there is a place that irresponsibly says the following immediately after the surgery, it is safer to avoid it if possible. 💬 "If you have no discomfort, please come back in a year." Thoroughly checking whether the hospital consistently operates a systematic follow-up inspection program and demonstrates full responsibility by promising a clear written warranty period is the surest shortcut to avoiding wasting your precious time and money! 💰 🧐 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Isn't a dental clinic that specializes exclusively in implants always better? 🤔 A1. Of course, choosing a dental clinic with an overwhelmingly large number of implant surgery cases is a good idea. 👌 However, you should avoid places that insist solely on extraction followed by implant placement, even if there is a possibility of saving your natural teeth. Care that ensures the health of the existing natural teeth and the occlusion of the newly implanted implant prosthetics interlock harmoniously. Total Dental Clinic Receiving treatment here is much more advantageous in the long run. ✨ Q2. The waiting time for treatment at the dental clinic I plan to visit is too long and difficult. Should I just put up with it and keep going? A2. Time convenience, as well as accessibility, plays a very significant role in a patient's satisfactory hospital experience. 🙏 If waiting times become excessively long and you are unable to receive necessary medical care or treatment smoothly in a timely manner, it will ultimately result in harm to the patient. Also, check if they have an efficient appointment and treatment system in place that allows you to receive medical care smoothly and without major disruptions at the appropriate time you desire. Q3. How can I prevent 'peri-implantitis,' where the gum bone erodes? ⚠️ A3. Implants are fundamentally different from natural teeth because they do not have nerves distributed inside. 💡 For this reason, even if severe inflammation develops in the surrounding gums, the patient feels little to no pain, making it easy to neglect. Ultimately, the only way to use your implants for a long time without side effects is to visit the dental clinic without fail according to the schedule set to have the condition of the prosthetic connections precisely checked, and to receive thorough care through systematic regular checkups and scaling. 🦷 🎯 Conclusion and Words of Advice 📌 Please make sure to remember this for successful treatment! Dental implants are absolutely not a trivial treatment to be chosen simply by comparing price lists and chasing the place offering the lowest price. 🙅♂️ You can achieve regret-free results only when firmly supported by the surgeon's seasoned clinical experience, explanation-centered communication that listens to the patient's voice, and a post-operative care program that takes responsibility for your entire life. ✨ Rather than being lured by exaggerated low-price advertisements or flashy discount offers to make a hasty decision about surgery, I hope you carefully compare the criteria I shared today one by one and make adjustments to regain your healthy teeth. 🥰 If you have any further questions regarding the condition of your teeth, please feel free to visit our dental clinic anytime for a thorough, personalized one-on-one consultation with a specialist! 💬 Smile D Dental Clinic Chief Director Oh Su-hwan Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Ministry of Health and Welfare certified orthodontist Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Completed internship and residency in Orthodontics at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital International member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) International member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic 🔗 [Expert Column] Clear Aligners: Wire-Free Orthodontic Treatment—Can It Really Be Unnoticeable? 🔗 [Expert Column] No-Prep Dental Laminates: Is It Really 'No Prep'?

오수환 원장26.06.02Views 165Likes 2 [Health Column] Dental Implant Support for the Elderly: Conditions and Precautions to Drastically Reduce the Cost Burden![2]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. As you get older, you come to deeply realize just how precious dental health is. In particular, as elderly people begin to lose their teeth one by one, they find it difficult to chew food, their pronunciation becomes slurred, and they are prone to losing confidence in interpersonal relationships. In the past, many people wore dentures, but nowadays, the trend is to prefer implants due to the comfort they provide, which is similar in texture to natural teeth. However, the biggest obstacle would undoubtedly be the considerable 'cost'. Today, for those of you who have been hesitating to seek treatment due to the financial burden, I will explain in a very simple way how to receive benefits through the senior implant support system. 1. Who is eligible for dental implant support for the elderly? 🦷 If you are 65 years of age or older and have partial edentulism, you can receive treatment for up to two teeth in your lifetime with a 30% co-payment. Currently, health insurance provides dental implant benefits to support the dental health of seniors. However, this does not apply to all situations, and you must meet the following requirements. 🔸 Age Requirements Seniors aged 65 or older 🔸 Dental condition Partially edentulous condition with some teeth remaining 🔸 Membership Eligibility Health insurance subscribers or dependents If you meet these conditions, you can receive insurance coverage for up to two policies in your lifetime, out of the total cost Co-payment approximately 30% You can proceed with treatment at a high level, significantly reducing the burden compared to standard implants. 2. Why do prices vary from dental clinic to dental clinic, and when are additional costs incurred? 🦷Additional procedure costs may apply depending on the materials used and the condition of the patient's gum bone. Many patients ask, "The government provides support, so why is the final price different at every dental clinic?" The reason is that differences arise depending on which brand is used when implanting, the type of prosthesis, and the experience of the medical staff and the dental clinic's system. In addition, not all cases end with just the basic cost of the implant covered by health insurance. ✔️ Cases of severe gum bone deficiency ✔️ Cases where maxillary sinus lift is necessary ✔️ If your overall gum condition is poor In particular, elderly patients often have already absorbed alveolar bone (gum bone), so additional treatments such as bone grafting may be required; in such cases, a separate additional costs This may occur. 3. Why shouldn't you choose a dental clinic based solely on price? 🦷Since the elderly require consideration of both resilience and systemic diseases, the proficiency of medical staff should be the top priority. Dental implants are by no means a one-time treatment to be carelessly placed at a cheap place and called off. For the elderly, precise diagnosis is essential because they have low bone density and slow recovery rates, and above all, often suffer from systemic diseases. If you make a decision based solely on cost and then experience side effects requiring re-implantation, it could end up costing you double the time and money. Therefore, when choosing a dental clinic, be sure to check the checklist below! 📌 Do the medical staff have extensive clinical experience? 📌 Do they use genuine implant materials? 📌 Is a systematic follow-up care and regular check-up system in place? 📌 Is the scope of after-sales service and warranty clear? Ultimately, the core of the implant is How long and stably it can be used without side effects after being planted once It depends on. 4. What should I do if I have systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure? If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis, you must inform the medical staff before the procedure, as these conditions affect bone fusion. There are a great many elderly patients with underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis. These conditions involve the implant firmly attaching to the bone Bone fusion It can have a direct impact on the process or wound healing. For successful results, you must thoroughly check any medications you are currently taking before the procedure and meticulously manage blood sugar levels and oral hygiene to reduce the possibility of inflammation or unnecessary additional costs. 5. How to keep dental implants healthy for a long time after the procedure? Thorough personal hygiene and regular dental checkups are the only shortcuts to extending your lifespan. Just as important as getting implants economically with support is knowing how to care for them for a lifetime after they are implanted. If you strictly follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can use it stably for a long time. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or abnormalities in dental prosthetics are detected early, major treatments can be prevented. 🦷 Thorough brushing is a must; make dental floss and interdental brushes a part of your daily routine. 🚫 Absolutely quit smoking, as it causes inflammation around the implant. ⚠️ Avoid foods that are too hard or excessively tough, like squid. 🏥 Visit the dentist regularly for checkups, even if you have no symptoms F AQ Q1. You mentioned that support is limited to two times in a lifetime. If I am not satisfied with the dental clinic, can I switch midway and receive support again? A1. Health insurance support for dental implants is, in principle, Up to 2 in a lifetime Once the registration process is complete, it is difficult to change dental clinics due to a simple change of mind. You must carefully review everything from the initial diagnosis stage to the scope of aftercare before making a prudent choice. Q2. Are bone graft costs also covered by health insurance benefits (30% co-payment)? A2. No, unfortunately, additional surgeries such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lifts are Excluded from insurance coverage These are often non-covered items. Since additional costs may arise depending on the patient's gum condition, a thorough diagnosis and consultation are required in advance. conclusion The senior implant support system is a valuable health insurance benefit that improves access to treatment for elderly patients who have been delaying treatment due to the burden of costs. Rather than blindly chasing after places with the lowest prices, choose one that can accurately diagnose my condition Medical staff with extensive clinical experience Whether there is, Post-management system You must also consider whether it is properly equipped to ensure stable use for a long time. If you are experiencing dental discomfort, please do not delay; we encourage you to consult with medical professionals to design a healthy treatment plan that is perfect for you.

담율로26.05.24Views 69Likes 0 [Health Column] Have you been wearing dentures for a long time? The effects and key points of ‘Full-Arch Implants’ that reduce the burden of full implants[2]
hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Chief Director Kim Hyung-seok no see. Once you lose most of your teeth, you are bound to feel lost and hopeless. "Is dentures really the only option now?" There are many people visiting the dentist due to such concerns. Although I am well aware of the loose and painful discomfort of dentures, people often hesitate to make a decision due to the cost and surgical burden of having to implant dozens of implants one by one. As such An innovative alternative that clearly compensates for the disadvantages of dentures and conventional implant methods , as soon as Full arch implant I will explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way. What is a full-arch implant, and what is the principle behind it? 🔸 It is a smart method that firmly restores the function of all teeth by implanting only the minimum number of implants. . Full-arch implants do not involve placing the implant throughout the entire gum. ✔️ Strategically select a good location for the gum bone Insert only the minimum number of pillars After doing that, on top of it Combine a single, connected fixed full prosthesis This is the principle. Thanks to this, the physical and financial burden of large-scale bone graft surgery can be significantly reduced. ✨ Load distribution: Because the entire prosthesis is firmly bound together as one, the force generated when chewing food is not concentrated in one spot on the gums but is evenly distributed. ✨ Natural chewing force: The sense of stability felt during meals Very similar to natural teeth Therefore, patient satisfaction is very high. Is a full-arch implant the right treatment for me? 🔸 It is an excellent solution for those whose gum bone has eroded due to long-term denture use or whose overall tooth occlusion has collapsed. . Full arch treatment is not a treatment applied equally to all situations; there are specific cases where efficiency can be maximized by tailoring it to the patient's oral environment. 📌 If you fall into the following situations, Full Arch is the best alternative. This can be 🔸 When a large number of implants is burdensome : This is a case where the restoration of full function is urgent due to tooth loss, but the poor condition of the gum bone makes it difficult to implant dozens of implants. 🔸 When gum bone is absorbed due to prolonged denture use : Full arches enable stable fixation even in situations where it is difficult to obtain fixation force using conventional methods. 🔸 When the occlusion of the upper and lower jaws has completely collapsed : If many teeth are missing, it is difficult to adjust the height (occlusal height) when closing the mouth. The full arch simultaneously reconstructs upper and lower balance as a single complete prosthesis, Restore your facial proportions and relax your jaw joints It makes it. What are the key points for successful results? 🔸 The success or failure of the treatment depends not on the number of implants, but on precise 'masticatory balance' and 'load distribution'. . So, what should be examined most carefully when treating a full arch? Our mouths are subjected to significant pressure from the jaw muscles every time we chew food. ⚠️ What happens if excessive force is concentrated on only a specific area? If the connected screws repeatedly loosen, or in severe cases Fracture (broken) of the prosthesis A fatal problem may occur. Therefore, each patient is different Closely analyze the movement path of the temporomandibular joint and the chewing pattern in normal equilibrium. The process must be completed first. Long-term stability can be achieved by maintaining equilibrium to withstand not only vertical pressing forces but also the stimulation generated when grinding food sideways (lateral forces). Why is it important for a full arch to be designed by a 'prosthodontist'? 🔸 Since minute errors determine overall stability, precise prosthetic design that predicts the flow of force is essential. . The grass arch eventually rises intricately on a pillar planted in the gums. High-difficulty treatment completed by placing a 'prosthesis' no see. Therefore, the perspective of a prosthodontist who views the oral structure holistically is of the utmost importance. 🔹 A specialist in prosthodontics is We are medical professionals who obtained qualifications from the Ministry of Health and Welfare after completing a 4-year internship and residency program at a university hospital's Department of Prosthodontics, focusing exclusively on 'restoring tooth function' and 'designing prosthetics' through in-depth research. A prosthodontist does not simply look at the location to place the implant. 🔍 The upper and lower jaws interlock when the prosthesis is placed Calculate precise occlusion points And, after treatment, the patient can do it themselves at home Convenience of easily cleaning and maintaining the underside of the prosthesis We proceed with a 1:1 customized design, taking all of this into consideration. As even minute differences in angle determine the entire lifespan of the prosthesis, error-free precision is required to ensure safe use for many years. FAQ Q1. Is the burden of bone grafting really less for full-arch implants compared to standard implants? A1. Yes, that is correct. Because the medical team can strategically select a location with good gum bone conditions to implant, there is no need to proceed aggressively in areas with insufficient bone. It can significantly reduce the burden of large-scale bone grafting. Q2. Does it creak or wobble when eating, like dentures? A2. Unlike dentures, it is fixed to the gums, and the entire prosthesis is firmly connected as a single structure. Since the force applied during mastication is evenly distributed Comfort and stability very similar to natural teeth when eating You can feel it. conclusion Any dentist might be able to simply perform the act of implanting itself. However, meticulously calculating each patient's unique chewing habits and jaw joint movements to find the perfect 'masticatory balance' that feels like it was originally part of the body falls within the realm of detailed prosthetic design. We deeply understand the earnest hearts of patients who take time out of their precious, golden weekends to visit our dental clinic from afar.

김형석 원장26.05.22Views 434Likes 1 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

When looking at implant advertisements, the prices vary widely from dental clinic to dental clinic. I checked at a local dental clinic and an Osstem implant costs 690,000 won. Is it true that you get what you pay for? Would it be better to pay the full price even if it's expensive? There are cases where it is not a factory-style dental clinic, but the prices are cheap.

I would like to share the rankings of the dental clinics where I got quotes and consultations for implant surgery. No. 1 Ace Dental Clinic 2nd Place Top Class Dental Clinic 3rd Place Kim O-wan Dental Clinic The reason I chose Jeonju Ace Dental Clinic as number one is that it is a friendly clinic with no overtreatment. The procedure itself is better at Top Class Dental Clinic, which ranks second, but it overwhelmingly can't beat the number one clinic in terms of kindness and comfort. Implant procedures aren't done immediately, and the cost is significant. Anyway, it's the best place I've been to.

There is quite a difference in implant prices depending on the dental clinic. I try to avoid factory-style dental clinics, but, I was surprised by the significant price difference even at regular dental clinics. I guess you get what you pay for. But it was unexpected that the place offering the huge discount was run by a doctor who graduated from Seoul National University Dental School.

[Health Column] You Just Got an Implant and Now You Have to Have It Removed? A Comprehensive Guide from Causes to Prevention ✨[2]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. 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. If you feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate.

이현섭 원장26.05.06Views 177Likes 2 This is a question regarding the cost of dental implants.[4]
These days, there are many advertisements from dental clinics stating that implant costs are around 250,000 won. Of course, I only realized after actually undergoing the procedure that bone graft costs are excluded. However, I couldn't understand why it is cheaper without insurance coverage than the 300,000 won cost with insurance, so I inquired with the National Health Insurance Service but did not receive a definitive answer, so I am asking here.

hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ At the end of the long journey of implant treatment, once the artificial tooth (prosthesis) is perfectly fitted, There are so many patients who breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Phew, it's all over now!" but The real success of your implant starts now. Did you know that? So that you can use the implants you spent significant cost and precious time to complete healthily for a lifetime, The lifespan of the prosthesis Core Management Principles I will explain it to you easily and kindly. ✏️ If the prosthesis becomes loose or falls out, does that mean the implant has failed? 👉🏻Don't panic! 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. . Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the 'periodontal ligament' that blocks bacteria, so food is structurally more prone to getting trapped. So, Smart Implant Dental Clinic Tailored to each patient's gum line Personalized abutment Design and fabricate the prosthesis We are doing that for you. 👉🏻 Thorough self-management: The patient's effort is just as important as the customized design! 👉🏻 Oral aids are essential: Using interdental brushes or dental floss is not an option, but a 'necessity'. 👉🏻 Expected effects: This is the surest way to prevent peri-implantitis and use the prosthesis for a lifetime. ✏️ Why is 'balanced chewing' important after attaching prosthetics? 👉🏻 This is because it is essential for the new tooth to settle stably in the oral cavity. After attaching the prosthesis approximately About two weeks to a month The adaptation period This is necessary. At this time, consciously Practice using both sides evenly You must do this. 👉🏻 Dispersion of force: It effectively distributes the vertical pressure applied to the implant fixture. 👉🏻 Ensuring stability: It helps the prosthesis sit in a balanced position without leaning in a specific direction. 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. Can I eat immediately after the prosthesis is attached? ? A1. Until the adhesive completely hardens At least 1 to 2 hours Stabilization time is required. Please avoid foods that are too hard or sticky on the first day! Q2. If I hear a clicking sound from the prosthesis, does that mean the implant is broken? ? A2. No! It is highly likely that the sound is coming from a loosened fixing screw. If you come to the dental clinic Firmly again Don't worry, we can tighten it for you. Q3. Do I really need to get regular checkups even if I don't have any pain? ? A3. Yes, you must come! The implant is I have no nerves Even if a problem arises, you cannot feel pain in the early stages. Once every 6 months to a year Getting regular maintenance is the secret to lifelong use. 🔹 Conclusion: It is a 'new beginning,' not the 'end.' The true completion of implant treatment lies not in the moment the prosthesis is placed, but in the process of it becoming fully integrated as a part of the body. ✅ Remember! The end of treatment is the 'beginning of maintenance and management'. Standard management principles and the patient's meticulous habit We must achieve this harmony. Every single detail of your meticulous care determines the lifespan of your implant.

I would like to consult about dental implants. . Thinking that Imtland is none of my concern for the time being, I wasn't interested and just brushed it off, so now that I'm actually trying to get counseling, I don't know anything. I consulted with several dental clinics remotely, and there is only one person receiving treatment. I am worried because the consultation details are so different. Things you need to know before your actual visit and consultation What should I ask to be a dental sucker (?) Wouldn't it be? There are so many brands these days that it's hard to choose, and I don't trust the reviews because they are mostly advertisements.

Sometimes my gums swell when I'm tired. Strangely, the area where I had the implant swells easily. I tend to take pretty good care of the side where I had the implant. I need to use both interdental brushes and dental floss. My gums are swollen, so I can't even use an interdental brush. I've also become extremely careful with dental floss. It hurts, so I'm brushing my teeth gently too. I definitely feel that the area where the implant was done is a bit weak.
