I would like to share my experience. As a minor, the dental implant procedure was performed without sufficient discussion with my guardians, my parents. Being a minor, my family did not anticipate this, and we were very surprised and embarrassed upon finding out later. I am not well-versed in the professional aspects of the treatment process or results, but I regret that the consent process may not have been thorough enough at that time. My family found it difficult to trust the hospital because of this issue. I urge other guardians to carefully verify the consent process before any procedures to avoid situations like mine.

I had implants done at another hospital, but compared to this hospital, it was so much more expensive. I was always losing teeth, so I went to a nearby clinic to have them fixed again. The implant process here was very thorough and the manipulation was gentle, so I am truly satisfied. That's why I've referred five people.

View more[Health Column] Why Is Taking Impressions for Implants an Important Process? The Hidden Secrets of Long-Lasting Prosthetics[3]
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 261Likes 3 [Health Column] Is Implant Swelling Normal? The Recovery Process and Self-Diagnosis Methods for Warning Signs[6]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Have you ever been worried because you looked in the mirror after implant treatment and your face looked more swollen than usual? 🦷 Especially if you are having implant surgery for the first time, even small changes can feel more significant. but Swelling of the implant itself is often a natural reaction that occurs during the recovery process. The important thing is, this swelling Is it within the normal range to wait? , or not Is it a signal that needs to be checked again? It is to distinguish. Today, I will summarize those criteria a little more simply! 1. Why does implant swelling occur? 🦷 This is a temporary reaction that may occur during the recovery process of the surgical site. During the implant surgery process, a small drilling is performed in the jawbone along with an incision in the gum. During this process, gum tissue, microvessels, and surrounding soft tissues are irritated, and the body triggers an inflammatory response to recover. At this time, as blood flow increases, the area around the surgery site may appear temporarily swollen, which can be considered implant swelling. In other words, swelling in many cases is It is a sign that recovery is progressing rather than that the surgery went wrong. It can be understood as. For example, there are cases where you feel your face looks a little more swollen after returning home or the next morning than immediately after surgery. In times like this, rather than immediately concluding it is more than ideal First, examine whether the change is within the recovery flow. This is important. ✔️In conclusion, rather than being too alarmed when you first see swelling, Trend of change over the past few days It is recommended to look at it together. 2. When is implant swelling most severe? It is often more noticeable on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery than immediately after. Many people think that swelling is most severe on the day of surgery, but actually When swelling is most prominent on the 2nd or 3rd day There are many. Usually, it proceeds in the following flow. 🔹 Day of surgery → Swelling begins 🔹 2~3 days → Swelling peaks 🔹 4~5 days → Gradually decrease 🔹 1 week → Noticeable improvement in most cases Of course, there are individual differences in recovery speed. Depending on one's constitution or health condition, it may last for more than a week. Swelling may last a little longer, especially in the following cases. 🔸 Cases where bone grafting was performed concurrently 🔸 Cases where multiple implants are placed simultaneously 🔸 In cases of systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension 🔸 If you have a smoking habit For example, even if you undergo the same implant surgery, some people's implants subside quickly starting from the 4th or 5th day, while others' implants may take more than a week to fall out. so You need to be careful when simply comparing your recovery speed with that of others. 📌 Briefly checking the progress by date helps in assessing the condition. 3. How should I manage the implant to reduce swelling? The degree of swelling and the speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Post-surgery care is more important than you might think. This is because even with the same surgery, the degree of swelling and the recovery process can vary depending on the management method. 1. Cold compress for 48 hours after surgery Cold compresses are most important in the beginning. 10–15 minutes cold compress, 5–10 minutes rest Repeating this can help reduce swelling and bleeding. 2. Apply warm compresses after 2 to 3 days. Once the initial swelling subsides, you can help improve blood circulation through warm compresses. Warm compresses can help with tissue recovery and reduce inflammation. 3. Food and Lifestyle Management Lifestyle habits are also important for alleviating implant swelling. 🔸 Avoid hot and spicy foods 🔸 Temporarily pause intense workouts 🔸 Drink plenty of fluids 🔸 Take prescribed medication If you just follow these basic management steps, the recovery process can proceed much more stably. It’s not that it’s over once the surgery is finished, Management during the first few days can determine the course of recovery. It would be good if you understood it that way. 4. Which types of implant swelling require close monitoring? It is important to look at the accompanying signals rather than the swelling itself. Most swelling subsides naturally. ⚠️However, if the following symptoms appear together, it may not be just simple swelling. 🔸 If swelling continues to worsen 🔸 In cases of persistent severe pain 🔸 Bad breath or pus formation 🔸 Sensation of heat or fever In this case Possibility of peri-implantitis, hematoma, or infection Since this may occur, it is recommended to visit a dentist promptly to get checked. For example, if it feels fine at first but the swelling worsens and the pain intensifies over time, it is best not to simply dismiss it with the thought of "let's wait a little longer." This is because the recovery response generally tends to subside over time. Look at how the swelling is changing rather than whether there is swelling. If pain, heat, odor, and pus are present together, further investigation is required. 5. Why does implant swelling vary from person to person? Even with the same surgery, the recovery pattern can vary depending on your physical condition and the extent of the operation. Even after undergoing the same implant surgery, the degree of swelling varies from person to person. The main reasons are as follows. 🔸 Gum thickness 🔸 Jawbone Density 🔸 Surgical scope 🔸 Age 🔸 Immunity especially In cases where bone grafting was performed together Swelling may last longer than with regular implants. So rather than simply comparing with others, It is important to make a judgment based on your own recovery progress. For example, just because you hear someone say, “I got better in a few days,” you don’t need to immediately assume that your swelling is abnormal. This is because the recovery process can vary depending on the details of the surgery and the physical condition. 📌 Please keep in mind that recovery speed varies from person to person. 📌 Rather than comparing yourself to others Whether my condition is gradually improving It is more important to look at . 6. What lifestyle habits help manage implant swelling? There are basic habits that help with both swelling management and implant stability. Try maintaining the following habits to help with recovery. 🔸 Sleep with your pillow slightly elevated 🔸 A diet rich in protein and vitamins 🔸 Maintain abstinence from alcohol and smoking 🔸 Gently brush, avoiding the implant site 🔸 Use prescription mouthwash These habits can help not only with managing swelling but also with the implant settling in stably. Rather than a special method, Consistent basic management This is important. For example, simply avoiding keeping your head too low while sleeping or refraining from mindlessly eating spicy food immediately afterward can make a difference in the recovery process. Even if they seem small, these habits come together to make the recovery process a little more comfortable. 📌 Rather than difficult and complex management, Consistently maintaining the basic rules to be followed This is the key. FAQ Q1. Is all swelling after implant surgery a warning sign? A1. That is not the case. Swelling after implant surgery is mostly a natural reaction that can occur during the normal recovery process. Q2. When does implant swelling usually start to subside? A2. Usually, it is most pronounced on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery, gradually decreases from the 4th or 5th day, and often subsides significantly after about a week. Q3. When should I visit the dentist again if there is swelling? A3. If swelling continues to worsen, severe pain persists, or is accompanied by bad breath, pus, a sensation of heat, or fever, further examination may be necessary. conclusion Swelling from implants is mostly a natural part of the recovery process. no see. While the presence of swelling after surgery does not necessarily mean there is a problem, it is important to monitor whether it is subsiding over time or if it is a sign of worsening. The speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Simply following basic guidelines, such as applying cold compresses, managing your lifestyle, and taking prescribed medication, can help with recovery. However, if the swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain, heat, or pus, do not delay and have your condition checked at a dental clinic. Rather than being unconditionally anxious, knowing both the normal recovery range and warning signs. This is the most important thing.

이현섭 원장26.03.19Views 353Likes 3 This is a review of the implant treatment process and personal experience!![26]
I will talk about the process of implant treatment and my experience with dental implants~ When getting an implant, have thorough consultations about your concerns and questions, and be sure to carefully choose a reputable implant specialist hospital nearby. Dad started getting implant treatment since last year. When I received my previous implant treatment, I had it done at a nearby dental clinic I frequented, but I wasn't very satisfied, so this time I visited about three specialized implant hospitals to consult about implant treatment. Based on my experience visiting three different dental clinics, although the surgical methods are similar, the costs, expertise, friendliness, and facilities vary, so be sure to compare 2-3 highly recommended clinics before choosing! Since implant treatment is not a one-time procedure like a cavity, but requires significant time, duration, and financial investment, please choose carefully to see the benefits of implant treatment. How does the implant consultation proceed? First, we check the condition of the teeth using X-ray images, intraoral photographs, and other methods. The procedure varies depending on the condition of the teeth before surgery, so it is necessary to carefully check the areas where implants are needed. Whether an implant can be performed depends on the condition of the gums~ And please have the consultation nurse explain the condition of your teeth and provide detailed information on how and what methods will be used for the surgery. Feel free to ask any questions you have at this time. Number of teeth to be operated on, treatment duration, treatment cost, treatment method, implant placement~ It seems that the price can be adjusted when treating multiple implants. Please try to adjust it well~ Let me explain how the implant surgery is performed~ First, apply local anesthesia in the mouth, then make an incision in the gum and detach the soft tissue. And create space by drilling a hole in the tooth below the gum for implant placement~ This is a procedure where, after placing the implant, a cover screw is attached, the soft tissue that has been separated is adjusted, and then sutured. The expected duration for an implant procedure is about 20-30 minutes per implant, and it may vary depending on additional surgeries such as bone grafting or sinus elevation. Initially, when extracting the existing teeth for implant treatment, you need to continuously apply cold compresses on the day of the implant due to swelling and pain. The hospital will prescribe antibiotics and painkillers. Additionally, you should rinse with mouthwash twice a day for a week. Due to bleeding from the extracted tooth, I have been biting on gauze for about 2 hours. Since a lot of blood is coming out of the gauze, I need to change it about 3-4 times. On the day of tooth extraction, the pain is severe, making it hard to speak and sleep well. You should avoid very hot or spicy foods and stick to light foods like porridge on the same day. Getting an implant even once involves extracting the existing tooth, checking the condition of gum inflammation, and the gum regeneration period, making the surgical process really lengthy and costly. There is pain, and initially, implant treatment requires a lot of time and effort. Since implant procedures are lengthy and are used semi-permanently as dental devices, I hope you carefully research and choose so that the implant treatment goes well.
쭈225.02.24Views 304Likes 6 Is implant surgery more complicated than I thought?! Is same-day surgery possible?[15]
I'm looking into the implant surgery process! My grandfather is planning to get an implant, and I'm curious about the implant surgery process! This time, my grandfather said he needed to get 3-4 implants. As I get older, I guess it's inevitable that I'll have to get implants ㅠㅠㅠ Does the implant surgery process take a long time?! When I saw it on the internet before, it said that after implanting it into the bone, you have to wait until the screw is completely attached to the bone. These days, there are a lot of same-day implant placements?! What has changed a lot? I'm planning to get my grandfather's implant at a dental clinic in Cheonan! While looking for a good place near my house, I found Cheonan Woori Family Dental Clinic. The reviews are good, so I'm thinking of doing it here. What do you think?! Or, is there a case where the implant surgery process is the same, but it can be done quickly on the same day? Haha...I don't know much about implant surgery, so it looks incredibly complicated!! If you were a 70-year-old man who needed 3-4 implants, you wouldn't recommend same-day surgery, right?

이현섭 원장26.06.04Views 261Likes 3 [Health Column] Is Implant Swelling Normal? The Recovery Process and Self-Diagnosis Methods for Warning Signs[6]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Have you ever been worried because you looked in the mirror after implant treatment and your face looked more swollen than usual? 🦷 Especially if you are having implant surgery for the first time, even small changes can feel more significant. but Swelling of the implant itself is often a natural reaction that occurs during the recovery process. The important thing is, this swelling Is it within the normal range to wait? , or not Is it a signal that needs to be checked again? It is to distinguish. Today, I will summarize those criteria a little more simply! 1. Why does implant swelling occur? 🦷 This is a temporary reaction that may occur during the recovery process of the surgical site. During the implant surgery process, a small drilling is performed in the jawbone along with an incision in the gum. During this process, gum tissue, microvessels, and surrounding soft tissues are irritated, and the body triggers an inflammatory response to recover. At this time, as blood flow increases, the area around the surgery site may appear temporarily swollen, which can be considered implant swelling. In other words, swelling in many cases is It is a sign that recovery is progressing rather than that the surgery went wrong. It can be understood as. For example, there are cases where you feel your face looks a little more swollen after returning home or the next morning than immediately after surgery. In times like this, rather than immediately concluding it is more than ideal First, examine whether the change is within the recovery flow. This is important. ✔️In conclusion, rather than being too alarmed when you first see swelling, Trend of change over the past few days It is recommended to look at it together. 2. When is implant swelling most severe? It is often more noticeable on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery than immediately after. Many people think that swelling is most severe on the day of surgery, but actually When swelling is most prominent on the 2nd or 3rd day There are many. Usually, it proceeds in the following flow. 🔹 Day of surgery → Swelling begins 🔹 2~3 days → Swelling peaks 🔹 4~5 days → Gradually decrease 🔹 1 week → Noticeable improvement in most cases Of course, there are individual differences in recovery speed. Depending on one's constitution or health condition, it may last for more than a week. Swelling may last a little longer, especially in the following cases. 🔸 Cases where bone grafting was performed concurrently 🔸 Cases where multiple implants are placed simultaneously 🔸 In cases of systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension 🔸 If you have a smoking habit For example, even if you undergo the same implant surgery, some people's implants subside quickly starting from the 4th or 5th day, while others' implants may take more than a week to fall out. so You need to be careful when simply comparing your recovery speed with that of others. 📌 Briefly checking the progress by date helps in assessing the condition. 3. How should I manage the implant to reduce swelling? The degree of swelling and the speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Post-surgery care is more important than you might think. This is because even with the same surgery, the degree of swelling and the recovery process can vary depending on the management method. 1. Cold compress for 48 hours after surgery Cold compresses are most important in the beginning. 10–15 minutes cold compress, 5–10 minutes rest Repeating this can help reduce swelling and bleeding. 2. Apply warm compresses after 2 to 3 days. Once the initial swelling subsides, you can help improve blood circulation through warm compresses. Warm compresses can help with tissue recovery and reduce inflammation. 3. Food and Lifestyle Management Lifestyle habits are also important for alleviating implant swelling. 🔸 Avoid hot and spicy foods 🔸 Temporarily pause intense workouts 🔸 Drink plenty of fluids 🔸 Take prescribed medication If you just follow these basic management steps, the recovery process can proceed much more stably. It’s not that it’s over once the surgery is finished, Management during the first few days can determine the course of recovery. It would be good if you understood it that way. 4. Which types of implant swelling require close monitoring? It is important to look at the accompanying signals rather than the swelling itself. Most swelling subsides naturally. ⚠️However, if the following symptoms appear together, it may not be just simple swelling. 🔸 If swelling continues to worsen 🔸 In cases of persistent severe pain 🔸 Bad breath or pus formation 🔸 Sensation of heat or fever In this case Possibility of peri-implantitis, hematoma, or infection Since this may occur, it is recommended to visit a dentist promptly to get checked. For example, if it feels fine at first but the swelling worsens and the pain intensifies over time, it is best not to simply dismiss it with the thought of "let's wait a little longer." This is because the recovery response generally tends to subside over time. Look at how the swelling is changing rather than whether there is swelling. If pain, heat, odor, and pus are present together, further investigation is required. 5. Why does implant swelling vary from person to person? Even with the same surgery, the recovery pattern can vary depending on your physical condition and the extent of the operation. Even after undergoing the same implant surgery, the degree of swelling varies from person to person. The main reasons are as follows. 🔸 Gum thickness 🔸 Jawbone Density 🔸 Surgical scope 🔸 Age 🔸 Immunity especially In cases where bone grafting was performed together Swelling may last longer than with regular implants. So rather than simply comparing with others, It is important to make a judgment based on your own recovery progress. For example, just because you hear someone say, “I got better in a few days,” you don’t need to immediately assume that your swelling is abnormal. This is because the recovery process can vary depending on the details of the surgery and the physical condition. 📌 Please keep in mind that recovery speed varies from person to person. 📌 Rather than comparing yourself to others Whether my condition is gradually improving It is more important to look at . 6. What lifestyle habits help manage implant swelling? There are basic habits that help with both swelling management and implant stability. Try maintaining the following habits to help with recovery. 🔸 Sleep with your pillow slightly elevated 🔸 A diet rich in protein and vitamins 🔸 Maintain abstinence from alcohol and smoking 🔸 Gently brush, avoiding the implant site 🔸 Use prescription mouthwash These habits can help not only with managing swelling but also with the implant settling in stably. Rather than a special method, Consistent basic management This is important. For example, simply avoiding keeping your head too low while sleeping or refraining from mindlessly eating spicy food immediately afterward can make a difference in the recovery process. Even if they seem small, these habits come together to make the recovery process a little more comfortable. 📌 Rather than difficult and complex management, Consistently maintaining the basic rules to be followed This is the key. FAQ Q1. Is all swelling after implant surgery a warning sign? A1. That is not the case. Swelling after implant surgery is mostly a natural reaction that can occur during the normal recovery process. Q2. When does implant swelling usually start to subside? A2. Usually, it is most pronounced on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery, gradually decreases from the 4th or 5th day, and often subsides significantly after about a week. Q3. When should I visit the dentist again if there is swelling? A3. If swelling continues to worsen, severe pain persists, or is accompanied by bad breath, pus, a sensation of heat, or fever, further examination may be necessary. conclusion Swelling from implants is mostly a natural part of the recovery process. no see. While the presence of swelling after surgery does not necessarily mean there is a problem, it is important to monitor whether it is subsiding over time or if it is a sign of worsening. The speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Simply following basic guidelines, such as applying cold compresses, managing your lifestyle, and taking prescribed medication, can help with recovery. However, if the swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain, heat, or pus, do not delay and have your condition checked at a dental clinic. Rather than being unconditionally anxious, knowing both the normal recovery range and warning signs. This is the most important thing.

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!

The first things that users who search for facial contouring surgery worry about are “how much does it hurt” and “how difficult is the recovery?” In particular, because the expression 'bone-crushing' often leads to an exaggerated imagination of actual pain, it is important to understand the exact cause of pain and the recovery process. What Causes Pain During Facial Contouring Surgery? Although facial contouring surgery is a surgery that deals with bones, the main cause of pain is not the bones. Muscles and surrounding tissues no see. The bone itself has very few pain-sensing nerves, so the expression "bone-crushing pain" is different from the actual pain. Postoperative pain occurs when facial muscles (especially large muscles) are touched during the surgical process. Muscle pain type is the center. Why and how long does actual pain occur? 1) The reality of the pain is muscle pain. There is little pain in the bone itself. Pain occurs when touching facial muscles (masseter, etc.) Pain may occur for approximately 2 to 3 days after surgery. Pain sensation may vary depending on the surgical site. For example, surgery in areas that do not involve many large muscles may be relatively less painful. Additionally, if eye and nose surgery are performed at the same time, there may be cases where pain in other areas is felt more severely. Why Pain Management is Important in Postoperative Recovery Acute pain and swelling management are key elements of early recovery. Especially in the case of contouring surgery that requires general anesthesia, a systematic aftercare environment is important. Hospitalization on the day of surgery is recommended Painkillers and injectable painkillers can be administered Swelling management through medication Immediate response possible in case of nocturnal bleeding Management in an inpatient setting may be more effective in controlling acute pain and swelling than management at home. Precautions: Postoperative diet and oral incision care Facial contouring surgery is often performed through an incision inside the mouth. At this time, the condition of the mouth can be understood as similar to the state of the sutured wisdom tooth after extraction. If the anesthesia wears off quickly You can eat on the day of surgery. Recommended soft food intake If there is no pain when chewing, eating itself is not a big problem. The incision site is sutured to prevent food from entering directly. A more realistic approach is to adjust the intensity of your meals based on whether you feel pain, rather than forcing yourself to chew. Precautions: Considerations for Pain and Swelling Management Pain may be most noticeable during the acute phase (first 2-3 days). The level of pain varies from person to person depending on the surgical site. Choosing a hospital with a hospitalization system is important in terms of recovery management. In particular, the initial response system may affect the stability of recovery, as elevated blood pressure, especially at night, may lead to bleeding tendency. Summary: A Realistic Understanding of Facial Contouring Surgery Pain Facial contouring surgery is more about 'bone pain' than Pain centered on muscle aches This is the week and usually tends to appear during the first 2-3 days after surgery. More important than the pain itself is how acute swelling and pain are managed, and hospitalization and medication management play a key role in the recovery process. Eating is possible from the same day depending on the patient's recovery from anesthesia and the presence of pain. However, it is not the case that basic eating is impossible due to the sutured mouth. If you are considering surgery, understanding the actual pain pattern and recovery management method will help reduce your anxiety. 👇 View posts related to facial contouring surgery Facial Contouring Surgery: The Face Shape Criteria That Make a Significant Difference in Results [Health Column] Contouring Surgery: What are the possible side effects of excessive bone resection?

Inlay treatment is a treatment that removes cavities and then attaches a custom-made prosthesis to the tooth. Although it looks like a “cavity treatment” on the outside, the manufacturing and bonding process is quite elaborate. Understanding the process will reduce anxiety before treatment and make it easier to make decisions when receiving explanations. What is inlay treatment? The area of the cavity is too large to be filled with resin When a slightly stronger material is needed, the treatment of choice is an inlay. After removing the cavity, a mold is taken and a separately manufactured prosthesis is attached. How is inlay treatment done? ① Cavity removal & surface cleaning Carefully remove the rotten area so as not to irritate the inflamed area. Afterwards, the surface is smoothed to remove any sharp edges. This step must be done neatly so that the subsequent inlays fit accurately. ② 3D scanner & AI design Nowadays, 3D oral scanners are used to scan the condition of your teeth. AI program designs inlay shape based on scan data The important point here AI automatically adjusts the edges, but the dentist or dental technician must make fine adjustments. Inlays are less automated than crowns, so you can design them yourself by importing a basic shape. Design time takes about 5 to 10 minutes ③ Material selection & inlay production Available materials Ceramic zirconia Nanoresin In this case, nanoresin selection The intensity is somewhat low, but The cost burden is relatively low in that environment. The machine carves the selected material block and completes the inlay production in about 4 minutes. since Edge trimming Clean up unnecessary parts Inlay Bonding, This Step is Especially Important (Caution) Surface treatment → Adhesion → Curing sandblast Make the inlay surface rough Make sure the adhesive penetrates well After applying the adhesive, cure it with blue light. The tooth surface is treated with an acid gel. Apply adhesive + cement again Final curing with blue light Precautions you must keep in mind If any protruding cement remains after bonding, Can cause severe inflammation of the gums so After it has hardened Carefully remove any protruding cement. Smooth surface finish This process completes the treatment. To summarize, you can understand it like this 🦷 Key Summary of Inlay Treatment If the cavity is large, an inlay may be an option. Custom design with 3D scanner and AI There are differences in strength and cost depending on the material. The production itself is quick, but the bonding and finishing process is very important. In particular, whether or not cement is cleaned is directly related to gum health. One-line summary Inlay treatment is not a “cut and paste” treatment, but a process that requires meticulous attention to detail from design, production, and adhesion.
