I am very satisfied with both orthodontic treatment and implants at Isu Baek Dental Clinic in Gwanak-gu![2]
Here are some before and after photos of my teeth correction, which are a bit embarrassing but I'm uploading them^^ Please see that I'm very satisfied!!!!!!!!👍🏻 When I first looked into orthodontic treatment, I was very worried about which hospital to go to, but now that it's over, I'm really, really, really satisfied!!!!!! I've had other treatments and even had an implant done in between, but why are all the doctors here so kind? I'm a very scaredy-cat, so I was really scared and nervous about both the orthodontic treatment and the treatment itself, but they made it painless except for anesthesia and explained everything so well!! Especially, the doctor who did the implant was so energeticㅋㅋㅋso funㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The orthodontic doctor is really a golden hand!!!!! Thank you so much for making my orthodontic treatment pretty!!! If anyone asks, I will definitely recommend this place!!!

I recommend Nowon-gu Orun Dental Clinic for implants and orthodontics.
I have two gaps of about 1.5 millimeters between my front teeth, and I don't want to show them to others. I keep my mouth shut as much as possible and don't talk much. And there are also implant candidates. gaps in teeth... This is a dental trauma I've had since I was young. Now that I have reached a certain level of social status, I am becoming more and more conscious of my teeth. I was thinking about getting my teeth straightened, and I don't do braces because it takes a lot of time and is annoying to pull the teeth left and right. Nowon-gu, looking for ways to cover gaps by making teeth bigger Orun Dental Clinic I got to know, I searched and found that there were over 30,000 cases of dental implants and other related treatments. I felt reassured after reading the numerous reviews, so I decided to go for a consultation on orthodontics and implants. I've been hesitant about this for many times, and I want to resolve it this time and get rid of the trauma. Since I'll be staying in Seoul a lot, I don't think there will be any problems with treatment... In other words, I want to clean up the gaps in my teeth and live proudly and confidently from now on~~! I'm also looking at an implant event. I'll leave the event link~~ https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/3708

The orthodontic treatment reviews at Oron Dental Clinic in Seoul are helpful. I also have protruding front teeth, so I was curious about whether I could get simple, petite correction instead of long-term correction. After hearing the correction review, it seems like the treatment was easier than I thought, so it was helpful. This hospital is even more interesting because they are kind and provide excellent treatment. I chose this review because it was very helpful to read reviews of people who received actual treatment. https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/1034

My teeth have been uneven since I was a child. It's not just a cosmetic issue; they keep causing injury to my mouth. So, while researching orthodontic treatment, I found David Dental's Dio Implant 350,000 won orthodontic treatment review helpful. I appreciated the before and after photos. The information about the cost of the procedure was also helpful. https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/4088
조하민24.03.30Views 175Likes 1 In what order should implant correction be done?[7]
In what order should I perform implant orthodontics? I looked it up online, and it said I should get braces first and then get implants. I heard that the order is key in implant orthodontics! They say you must have an orthodontic consultation before getting implants. Please consult with a doctor in advance regarding implant orthodontics to minimize the number of implants or create an optimal environment for longer-lasting implants! Please take the long-term view into considering implant orthodontics. They say that getting braces before implants helps ensure they are placed in a good position. I had a lot of questions about implants and orthodontics, and after looking into various things, I realized that getting a consultation before the implant is the most important thing!!! They say that sometimes it is difficult to treat because the space is too narrow to place an implant. Just like how they advise getting braces first and then getting implants in such cases, Please make sure to remember this, everyone! It goes without saying, but the correct answer for orthodontic treatment is implants after treatment. I looked for a good dental clinic on Cashdoc. This is Yonsei Hive Dental Clinic located in Chuncheon! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/4767 Yonsei Hive Dental Clinic says same-day implants are available! They say the implant is 490,000 won. For one reason or another, I'm planning to get a consultation for both orthodontics and implants at Yonsei Hive Dental Clinic this time :)

Implant, my biological mother, sister, and even my husband. Prices are all different, and so is the pain. My husband bled a lot after sleeping with me on the first day. I went to the emergency room. I will find out about the hospital well. I think I should do what I do best. Gums need to be healthy first in order to be able to do so. My daughter has had braces twice. It cost a lot of money, didn't it? The retention device. Not working well, the tooth is crooked again. It is not allowed. I had a cavity treatment a long time ago and have been managing it well. I am still in good condition. Various electric toothbrushes, molar toothbrushes, and functional toothpaste. Waterpik, interdental brush, dental floss, and Gurgle. I am using it. I buy all the toothpaste that are said to be good. Your teeth are in very good condition for your age. This should be well managed when things are good.
underwood_busan23.10.15Views 114Likes 0 (Concern) Which is the best option between orthodontic treatment and implants for front teeth?[12]
While playing with a friend during school days, I bumped into them and my front tooth was misaligned. Once the front teeth are misaligned, they gradually become more crooked and become very noticeable. My misaligned front teeth are my complex, so I always hide my mouth and smile. It's hard to eat an apple with my front teeth. (It always feels like the gap between my teeth is getting bigger because something gets stuck in itㅠㅠ) So I inquired with the dental clinic I have been visiting for a long time. I inquired about orthodontics, but that dental clinic does not offer orthodontic treatment. They recommended an implant. (Because orthodontic treatment requires extracting other teeth and takes a lot of time) At that time, I was too scared to get implants in my twenties, myself. I still have a long way to go before I need to use this, but I already feel it's a pity to do it now. And already, I am passing my 30s and looking toward my 40s. I still find it difficult to eat with my front teeth, so I am using other teeth instead. I think I've adapted to some extent. I'm still feeling complex about it and think I should do something, but I'm worried about whether orthodontics or implants would be better. Which is better if both crooked front teeth correction and implants are possible? (Almost 40 years old) Braces require removing adjacent teeth and take a long time, but the advantage is that I can keep my own teeth. The disadvantage of implants is that my teeth need to be extracted, and the advantage is that it takes less time. The advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are really opposite. And I am also worried about my age. Is orthodontic treatment possible in my 40s? If anyone has tried both, please give me some advice. ^^

Haha, I got an implant. It seems like it's been over a year. But I keep getting food stuck because of the gap between my teeth and gums. So I told him... They say I need to get braces. It's because the original teeth are tilted to one side, creating a gap. They say it will take about a week to readjust. ㅠ
까루23.08.14Views 107Likes 0 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??

Sigh... I really feel like sighing even before writing...ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ I once had a hard food and it broke, so I got a crown. Then I ate some hard rice crust and the remaining tooth inside broke (all the way to the root...). In the end, I was told I couldn't use the remaining tooth, so they removed the crown and my tooth... That was in early March. I was thinking of getting an implant without much thought, but the dentist told me I have a malocclusion in my molars... I had orthodontics when I was young, but I wasn't aware of it. After hearing the explanation and seeing it myself, I realized my molars don't align properly... But if I get implants, orthodontic treatment becomes difficult... So I have to decide whether to do orthodontics before the implant, but my molar is really tilted and leaning, so it’s going to be a major procedure... Since it’s a local dental clinic, they told me to go to an orthodontic specialist... ㅜㅜㅜ But I have to visit various places for consultations, and I don’t have much time, so I’ve only managed to visit two places so far, and both say it’s quite serious and recommend orthodontics. I had orthodontics when I was young, but now I have to do it again... and on top of that, the treatment methods are so different that I'm confused. One place is pulling the molars on the opposite side to fill the gap and align the bite (no implant needed), while the other place is straightening the fallen molars to align the bite and placing implants. I'm thinking of visiting about two more places first, but just the thought of wearing braces again in my 30s and undergoing two years of orthodontic treatment makes me really anxious... Putting aside the money, I can't believe I have to go through that hell again... Sigh... 😢😢😢 If I tighten it once a month, it hurts so much I can't even chew properly... When I was young, my front teeth were all over the place, so the dentist I went to back then only focused on aligning my front teeth... I'm so angry... I’ve been commuting from Pohang to Daegu every month since elementary school for orthodontics... I went through all that hardship, and now I have to do it again... I've been unaware until now, but I'm wondering if it's truly the right thing to do to start now... It's a major renovation that won't be finished in a month or two... Sigh... What do you think you would do in my place??

YNL23.07.17Views 130Likes 0 Braces or implants?[6]
I have a slight open bite and a protrusion. My teeth are in very poor condition, so most of my molars have been treated with crowns, and I also have root inflammation, so I will need many implants in the future. What needs to be done immediately is a small molar implant and nerve treatment on the opposite side, but these are teeth that can be extracted. Since I plan to get implants in the future, I think it would be better to extract them, reduce the number of teeth, close the gaps, and restore normal occlusion. I'm considering orthodontics.
강아림23.06.28Views 97Likes 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.

콘센트26.07.01Views 34Likes 0 [Health Column] What Should You Do If Your Temporary Implant Teeth Fall Out on a Weekend or Holiday?[4]
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 I received a consultation for orthodontics at [Bible Dental Clinic]. The clinic's management was impressive.[6]
While considering orthodontic treatment and researching various dental clinics, I received a consultation at Bible Dental Clinic. The first thing that caught my eye was the clinic's cleanliness. The waiting area, consultation room, and treatment rooms were all neatly maintained, and I could feel that they paid great attention to hygiene. Even though it was my first visit, I was left with a trustworthy impression. The staff were generally friendly as well. They responded calmly from the reception to guiding me to the consultation room, and when I asked questions, they explained each one in detail, allowing me to receive the consultation without feeling pressured. The hospital atmosphere itself was quiet and well-organized, which greatly reduced my nervousness. After thoroughly examining my tooth alignment and occlusion, the doctor explained the appropriate orthodontic method and estimated duration in an easy-to-understand manner. Rather than insisting that I absolutely needed braces, they compared the pros and cons of each treatment method, which instilled confidence in me and allowed me to fully resolve any questions I had. The cost information was provided relatively transparently, and I felt comfortable because there was no excessive pressure to get me to do anything. However, it was a bit disappointing that the consultation started a little later than scheduled, perhaps because there were many other people receiving consultations. I also felt that it would have been more helpful to visualize the treatment results if you had shown a wider variety of before-and-after photos. Overall, Bible Dental Clinic was the most satisfying dental clinic for its clean and hygienic environment and friendly service. Although there was a slight waiting time and I wished there had been a wider variety of consultation materials, the consultation was thorough and the atmosphere was comfortable, so it was a generally satisfying visit.

[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!

Hello, I would like to share my review of The Top Orthodontics & Dental Clinic located in Wonmi-gu, Bucheon. I looked into several places to find a good clinic, and I would like to recommend it to others. I have been considering braces for a long time due to my uneven teeth, and I finally made up my mind to receive treatment at this orthodontic clinic. From the very first consultation, I felt confident because they explained everything kindly and in detail, and they created a treatment plan perfectly suited to my condition. I was anxious and nervous about the treatment process at first, but the director and staff always treated me with such a bright atmosphere that I was able to receive treatment comfortably. Haha. It was uncomfortable for the first few days after the braces were attached, but I gradually got used to it, and the pain was less than expected. I felt relieved. Haha. About six months after starting dental treatment, I could noticeably see my teeth becoming straighter. I still have to cover my mouth when I smile because of the braces, but I'm gradually gaining confidence, haha. So, as time goes by, I am becoming more and more satisfied overall. Of course, there was a financial burden, but looking at the results, I think it was well worth it!!! They provided excellent consultations and conducted thorough regular check-ups, which gave me peace of mind, haha.

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.

My lower teeth are slightly misaligned, but I haven't experienced any major discomfort so far. Still, I was curious if I needed braces, so I visited the Jungnang Orthodontic Clinic near my home for a consultation. To be honest, it was my first time visiting an orthodontic clinic, and I learned for the first time that there are clinics dedicated solely to orthodontics. The consultation revealed that my teeth were not in a condition strictly requiring correction. They explained that while treatment is available if I wish, my current teeth are not a major issue. I can't quite pinpoint the exact difference from a general dental clinic, but the atmosphere felt distinct. Above all, I was left with a positive impression because the consultation was friendly and without any excessive pressure. It was a satisfying first visit where I was able to resolve my questions without any financial burden.

청정26.06.24Views 55Likes 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.

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 [Health Column] I've already had veneers; is it possible to get braces?[3]
Hello, this is Director Oh Su-hwan of Smile D Dental Clinic. There are many people who previously received veneers for a beautiful smile but are now concerned as their teeth have gradually become misaligned over time. I want to receive orthodontic treatment again, but, "Do I have to remove all the existing veneers?", "What about the cost and pain?" There are quite a few cases where people feel anxious, saying things like that. Today, I will provide clear solutions for each case regarding whether orthodontic treatment is possible even with veneers. So, shall we start by addressing the key question that many of you are curious about? 🤔 1️⃣ Do I absolutely have to remove braces after veneers? ✨ It is reasonable to accurately diagnose the current situation and proceed selectively with only the necessary parts. To start with the conclusion, having veneers does not mean that orthodontic treatment is impossible. However, the treatment strategy simply varies depending on the patient's dental condition. We must accurately diagnose the condition rather than unconditionally removing the entire tooth. One example is a case where the laminate prosthesis itself is firmly attached, but only the lower teeth are slightly misaligned. ⚠️ Rather than blindly removing all the prosthetics, Please consult a specialist first to see if there are any parts that can be preserved. The treatment method varies completely depending on the condition. Which category does my tooth fall into? 👇 2️⃣ What are the situational treatment cases that suit me? ✨ It proceeds in three directions depending on the condition of the prosthesis and the purpose of occlusion. 🔸 If the laminate is in good condition (conservative correction) If you are satisfied with the color or shape of the existing laminates and there are no significant issues such as fractures, correction is possible while maintaining them. You can attach orthodontic brackets through tooth surface treatment, or correct only the tooth alignment using clear aligners. 🔸 When partial replacement of the laminate is required This is a case where you are dissatisfied because part of your tooth is fractured or your gums are in poor condition. We remove only the problematic laminates and proceed with orthodontic treatment, then fabricate new laminates only for that specific area after the correction. 🔸 Cases where a complete redesign is required It is necessary not just for simple tooth movement, but when the occlusion itself is not harmonious, such as in cases of protruding teeth, open bite, or facial asymmetry. The laminates must be removed to check the original alignment and condition of the teeth. If necessary, the original tooth positions are restored using temporary teeth before proceeding with orthodontic treatment, and finally, the aesthetic prosthetics are redesigned. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If braces are attached to teeth that have been laminated, won't they fall off easily? A1. Of course, it requires more caution than attaching it to natural teeth. However, since current dental technology allows for sufficient surface treatment to ensure attachment, you do not need to worry too much. Q2. Is more tooth reduction involved when removing laminates? A2. The key is to avoid causing additional damage to teeth that have already been prepared for veneers. We delicately remove existing prosthetics and safely proceed with orthodontic treatment while protecting the teeth using temporary teeth if necessary. Q3. The treatment period and cost are very burdensome. A3. 'Selective redesign' tailored to your oral condition is much more efficient than redoing the entire set. Rather than indiscriminate replacement, it is important to determine the scope of treatment in consultation with a specialist, considering overall facial harmony and functional occlusion. 🎯 Conclusion: A thoughtful choice for a healthy smile 📌 Key Points: Just because your teeth are slightly misaligned, you do not necessarily need to get braces or, conversely, insist on veneers. ✨ To maintain a healthy and attractive smile line even 10 or 20 years from now Clearly understanding the current tooth alignment and occlusion status This is the priority. 🩺 If you are currently concerned about your tooth alignment, we recommend that you consult thoroughly with an orthodontist, including whether you can maintain your veneers. An accurate diagnosis is the first step to achieving satisfactory results.

Hello, I finished my orthodontic treatment a few years ago. At the time, my teeth became much more aligned, and I was very satisfied. However, as time went by, I became worried that I might experience side effects later on. When I search online, I see mentions that teeth can shift back into place, gums may recede, or the tooth roots may be affected. I am curious to know the actual extent of this. I have also seen reviews stating that the jaw joint became uncomfortable or that the sensation of chewing changed due to a shift in the bite. I don't have any particular pain right now, but it worries me because sometimes my teeth feel weaker than before. Even though I wear my retainer consistently, could this cause problems later on? For those of you who finished your orthodontic treatment a long time ago, how is your current condition? Did you experience any side effects or discomfort years after the treatment, or is your result being maintained well without any major issues? I would be grateful if you could let me know if there are any specific areas I absolutely need to pay attention to when caring for my teeth after orthodontic treatment. I would appreciate any real-life experiences or advice you can share. Thank you.

Hello! I am Jung Jun, the Chief Director of The New Dental Clinic, bringing you something new. I'm an adult. Is it okay to start orthodontic treatment now? "Isn't it too late?" If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you have probably worried about this at least once. Since braces are commonly thought to be a treatment only for students, you may feel you have missed the timing, or you may feel anxious that you started unnecessarily and it might not be effective. However, in reality, there is a criterion that is more important than age! 📌 Today, I will summarize the criteria for adult orthodontics—whether it is truly too late and the extent of treatment—in a way that is easy to read on mobile. 👇 1️⃣ Is it really too late for adult orthodontics? What matters more than age is the condition of your current teeth and gums! It is perfectly possible right now. Orthodontic treatment is perfectly possible even after becoming an adult. 😉 Recently, there has been a steady increase in the number of people choosing adult orthodontics not only for aesthetic reasons but also to improve tooth function, manage oral hygiene, and regain confidence. 💡 The reason even busy office workers can lighten the burden! Recently, as clear aligners and aesthetic orthodontic devices have become very diverse, the aesthetic and time burdens for adult patients have been significantly reduced compared to the past. Even in adults, tooth movement itself is fully possible, and with the continuous advancement of orthodontic technology and devices, it is possible to improve both the aesthetics and function of the teeth simultaneously. So, what concerns do adults mainly seek orthodontic treatment for? Check the table below to see if you fall into any of the categories! Types of concerns Symptoms that appear 🔸 Snaggletooth Difficulty brushing increases risk of cavities and gum disease 🔸 Gap teeth Food particles easily get stuck and pronunciation problems occur 🔸 Protruding mouth Concern about the impression of having a protruding mouth 🔸 Occlusal imbalance Impaired chewing function and jaw joint strain 🔸 Re-correction The teeth are deformed again due to non-wearing of the retainer, etc. 📌 Typical situations where adult orthodontics is considered When you are worried about your appearance due to crooked teeth or a protruding mouth every time you look in the mirror When food frequently gets stuck between extra teeth due to poor brushing When teeth have shifted again because you previously had braces but did not wear a retainer 2️⃣ How far can treatment be achieved with orthodontics? Most dental problems can be improved with orthodontics. Most dental alignment problems, such as crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and gaps between teeth, can be beautifully improved with orthodontic treatment alone. ⚠️ However, additional diagnosis and consideration are required in the following cases! Severe protruding mouth: Extraction orthodontics may be possible. Facial Asymmetry: The extent of improvement may vary depending on the difference in jawbone position or the degree of asymmetry. However, rather than automatically considering surgery, we formulate a treatment plan that prioritizes the potential for improvement centered on non-surgical correction. Accompanied by gum disease: If there is gum inflammation, gum treatment is required first. Severe tooth wear: An accurate occlusal analysis must be performed first. 3️⃣ If I start orthodontic treatment, how long will it take? On average, it often takes about 1 to 2 years. Some people worry, asking, "Since cellular reactions are slower in adults, won't it take a lifetime?" However, the speed of tooth movement in adults can be somewhat slower than in growing children. However, with the recent development of various orthodontic devices and efficient treatment plans, it has become possible for adults to receive sufficiently fast and effective treatment. That said, the actual treatment duration may vary depending on the individual's dental alignment, whether extractions are necessary, and the chosen orthodontic method. 4️⃣ What are the essential conditions to check for adult orthodontics? You need to check the overall condition of the gums as well, not just the teeth. Unlike during their student years, adults often already have cavities, gum disease (periodontitis), and tooth wear in their mouths. Therefore, you should not blindly start orthodontic treatment based solely on the outward appearance of crooked teeth. ⚠️ Please be careful! If teeth are forcibly moved when the gum bone is weakened or gum inflammation is severe, serious side effects such as loose teeth or gum recession may occur. Therefore, in adult orthodontics, a comprehensive assessment of the current oral condition is essential, and a precise diagnostic process that considers not only tooth alignment but also the occlusion and functional aspects of the upper and lower teeth is of paramount importance. 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Is the correction sufficient for adults as well? A1. Yes, it is possible! Tooth movement occurs quite effectively even after adulthood. It is important to establish a precise treatment plan tailored to the current condition of your teeth and gums, and in fact, the proportion of adult orthodontic patients has been steadily increasing recently. Q2. Does adult correction take longer? A2. Although it varies depending on the individual's dental alignment and whether extractions are required, it generally takes about 1 to 2 years. While the speed of tooth movement may be slightly slower than during the growth period, the burden of the treatment duration can be significantly reduced thanks to the efficient orthodontic devices and methods recently introduced. Q3. Can facial asymmetry also be improved with correction alone? A3. It varies depending on the cause and severity of the asymmetry. However, if the skeletal issue is not too severe, sufficient improvement can be expected with non-surgical corrective treatment alone. Therefore, we recommend that you first determine the scope of treatment possible through accurate diagnosis. 🎯 Conclusion 🔹 Age is just a number: Age itself does not determine whether adult orthodontics is possible. 🔹 Key Management Point: A precise diagnosis to comprehensively check for cavities or gum disease is essential before treatment. 🔹 Necessity of Consulting a Specialist: Rather than making a hasty decision about treatment, consult thoroughly with experienced medical professionals to carefully determine the appropriate scope of correction and treatment direction for you! If you are considering adult orthodontics, please do not hesitate to visit our dental clinic to find a solution optimized for your current oral condition. 🦷✨ The New Dental Clinic Chief Director Jeong Jun ABO Certified American dentistry Orthodontic specialist (Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics) Orthodontics specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry UCLA Dental school orthodontics specialist residency training UCLA Dental and Craniofacial Research Institute Senior Researcher Invisalign Educational doctor Obtaining a U.S. Dental License (California/Texas main ) American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Regular member American Association of Orthodontists (ABO) Regular member Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO) Regular member hyeon ) Chief Director of The New Dental Clinic
정준 원장26.06.19Views 98Likes 3 Has anyone had their front teeth move again after finishing orthodontic treatment?[2]
An acquaintance who had braces a few years ago said that their front teeth looked a little different while looking at a photo. If I don't wear the retainer properly, could changes actually occur? I thought it would be over once the orthodontic treatment was finished, but I was surprised to find there was more talk about maintenance than I expected. For those of you with orthodontic experience, how long did you use your retainer?
블루베리26.06.19Views 48Likes 4 [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?
lemon송26.06.18Views 83Likes 0 [Jamsil UPenn Barun Dental Clinic] I was very worried about the pain before the implant procedure.[15]
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.

I am reading various reviews while considering orthodontic treatment. I had a lot of concerns regarding cost, duration, pain, etc. It seems that everyone has different points of greatest concern. I am curious to know what you were most concerned about before actually starting. I would also like to know the factors that influenced the decision.
기춘이26.06.18Views 64Likes 5 [Friendly Hong Dental Clinic] Before the orthodontic consultation, I was most worried about the cost and duration.[13]
As I considered getting braces, what weighed on my mind the most were, as expected, the hefty cost and the long treatment period. Since orthodontic treatment isn't something that ends after just one or two sessions, it was quite difficult to make a decision right away. After much deliberation, I decided to visit the highly-rated 'Friendly Hong Dental Clinic' for a consultation. I chose this place because there were many reviews stating that they provide thorough care without unnecessary treatments. When I actually visited, the atmosphere of the clinic was very bright, and the staff and the director welcomed me in a very friendly manner. In the consultation room, they meticulously analyzed my dental condition and clearly and openly explained the payment methods and estimated treatment duration that I was most concerned about. Since they explained everything at my level of understanding, all the anxiety and worries I had been feeling vanished like snow melting. After the consultation, I gained confidence in the orthodontic treatment I had been endlessly putting off, and I felt that I should have come sooner. If you are hesitating about orthodontics due to the cost or duration like I was, I highly recommend that you stop worrying and visit us to start with a comfortable consultation.
말해뭐해26.06.18Views 92Likes 3 Noble Dental Clinic Suwon) I was worried about the cost and maintenance before getting the implant.[28]
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.
원희26.06.17Views 119Likes 1 [Health Column] Which Orthodontic Bracket Determines the Results? Key Criteria You Must Know Before Choosing an Appliance[4]
Hello! ✨ Jo Byeong-ju, Chief Director of Nowon Shine Orthodontics Dental Hospital, a board-certified orthodontist with 17 years of experience no see. When conducting orthodontic consultations "Doctor, please make sure to use these brackets!" , I saw on the internet that this device gives the best results. There are quite a few people who inquire with a specific device already decided in mind, saying this. 💡 With so much diverse information available these days, it is only natural to feel that your orthodontic results will vary completely depending on the type of appliance. But is that really true? 🤔 Today, many people misunderstand The real criteria you should check much earlier than choosing an orthodontic device I will summarize everything about it clearly and concisely for you! 👇 1️⃣ Which orthodontic bracket determines the results? To start with the conclusion, The bracket device itself does not perfectly determine the correction results. The orthodontic treatment process involves the complex use of a wide variety of tools, including not only brackets but also wires, rubber bands, and more. Among them, brackets are designed to lead to successful treatment. One tool That is all; it is difficult to say that the final treatment result of your teeth will change dramatically just because the bracket brand or type is different. 🙅♂️ 📌 Examples of situations users actually experience It is just like how the taste of food changes completely depending on the chef's touch and recipe, even when using the exact same kitchen tools and pots. Similarly, even when using the same appliances, the results of orthodontic treatment can vary significantly depending on the direction the teeth are moved, how the force is adjusted, and how the overall treatment process is guided! 🌟 💡 Rather than being swayed by internet reviews or the flashiness of device names, Establishing a treatment plan tailored to my symptoms This is the essence. 2️⃣ In that case, is it okay to use just any device? Not all devices have 100% identical quality. There are definitely differences in precision and durability between devices! Of course, there are clearly differences in quality among the various brackets available on the market, including craftsmanship, precision, and durability in the mouth. 🔍 Dental clinics also select and use more precise devices tailored to the patient's specific situation. However, the key point we must remember here is Masterpiece orthodontic results are not created instantly based solely on the quality of the device. That is the point. ⚠️ An orthodontist's approach based on each individual's unique tooth condition and gum bone structure Precise diagnosis and detailed treatment planning The device can only perform its role effectively if it is firmly backed by [the necessary support]. 🗺️ 📌 Checklist to check unconditionally before worrying about the device: 🔸 What is the condition of my teeth? scientific and objective standards Was it analyzed as? 🔸 The established orthodontic treatment plan Clear medical evidence Was it built based on? 🔸 During the long period of treatment How to finely control tooth movement Do you do it? 🔸 After the correction is finished Tooth stability and maintenance Have you considered up to that point correctly? 3️⃣ Before the device, did you check who is providing the treatment? The real essence of orthodontic treatment is not the fancy name of the device, but, The precise judgment of the doctor in charge of me It is located at. Orthodontic treatment is not a simple procedure that finishes in a flash in a few months. It is a long-term race that lasts from as little as a year to as long as several years. 🏃♂️ Therefore, it is essential to continuously monitor whether the teeth are moving along the correct path throughout the treatment period, fine-tune the plan to suit each patient's unique response, and flexibly manage unexpected variables that may arise at any time. 🩺 It is not the device that performs this tremendous role, but only The attending orthodontist's extensive clinical experience and judgment as the primary physician That's all. 👨⚕️ 💬 Verification points for safe and consistent treatment If you are considering orthodontic treatment, during the consultation "From the initial detailed consultation to the removal of brackets and the completion of treatment, whether the attending orthodontist provides direct care without changing." We strongly recommend that you verify this with your own eyes. ✔️ This is a much more important criterion than choosing any good device to ensure the consistency and stability of treatment. ❓ FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Orthodontic Appliances Q1. If I use expensive, high-quality premium brackets, will the orthodontic results always be better? The inherent quality of the bracket may affect the convenience or precision of treatment to some extent. However, the key to determining the outcome is only Accurate diagnosis and customized treatment planning by an orthodontist No matter how expensive a device is, if the treatment plan goes awry, good results cannot be expected; conversely, even an ordinary device can produce the best results depending on the doctor's sophisticated plan. Q2. Which is more effective, clear aligners or regular brackets? Neither device is absolutely superior to the other. 🙅 The one that best fits each situation depends on the individual patient's tooth alignment, skeletal characteristics, and desired orthodontic goals. A suitable device is separate Therefore, rather than insisting on a specific type of device, it is important to meet a specialist who can properly formulate a treatment plan tailored to you. Q3. Is there a crucial item a patient must check when visiting a dental clinic for a consultation? "Whether the same orthodontist is responsible for and directly treats me from the beginning to the end of my treatment" Make sure to check this! ✨ The attending physician must not change midway to continuously monitor the patient's tooth movement status and respond consistently and safely to any variables that may arise, thereby increasing the completeness of the treatment. 🎯 Conclusion 〰️ Orthodontic devices are merely reliable aids that help ensure safe treatment; they cannot be the final destination in themselves. In orthodontic treatment, the level of perfection in even the slightest details varies significantly depending on how much time and care the doctor devotes to each individual patient. 🔎 From the moment you first open the door and enter until the last day when treatment is completed Direct responsible treatment by the same orthodontic specialist Furthermore, if you choose a dental clinic that meticulously establishes a customized movement plan exclusively for you, you will be able to experience even more consistent and satisfying orthodontic results. 🤝 📌 Which bracket device should I use? Rather than the time spent searching all night while worrying, "Who will take responsibility for treating my teeth, and how?" Please check this carefully first. The starting point of successful correction lies precisely in that question.

조병주 원장26.06.17Views 109Likes 3 [Risom Dental Clinic] I was very worried before the consultation regarding the cost and pain issues of molar implants.[14]
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.

합격기원 26.06.16Views 58Likes 1 [Health Column] What are the criteria for choosing the right orthodontic treatment for me? Wire braces vs. Clear braces[5]
✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 Have you been secretly worried every time you look in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide on orthodontic treatment, you will find yourself at another crossroads when you actually try to start. This is the dilemma between traditional 'wire braces (bracket braces)' and 'clear braces (Invisalign)' that use transparent plastic! Today, I will summarize the key points in a very easy-to-understand way, covering everything from the distinct differences between the two treatments to how to make the wise choice that fits your situation perfectly. ✨ 1️⃣ How are teeth moved in orthodontics? The core principle of orthodontic treatment is to apply a constant force to the teeth 'continuously'. 📌 The secret to moving teeth, 'orthodontic appliances' A special structure is required to transmit precise force to the teeth in the desired direction, and this is precisely what we know as 'orthodontic appliances.' These appliances are broadly divided into two types. 🔸 Fixed method: This is a treatment method that involves firmly attaching a device to the surface of the tooth. 🔸 Attachable (Detachable) type: It is a method that uses a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves. 💁♀️ You were fascinated by how teeth move when you get braces, weren't you? Just like moving heavy furniture to a desired location by steadily pushing it little by little, The principle is that the device provides very precise and continuous stimulation to the tooth roots! 2️⃣ What are the differences between wire braces and clear braces? ✨ There are distinct differences in maintenance methods and how to wear the device depending on its features. 🦷 1. Wire braces (bracket braces) It is a traditional method of attaching devices called brackets to the teeth and securing them by connecting them with wires. ✔️ characteristic: The treatment is 'compulsory' because the patient cannot remove the device voluntarily. Since the device operates forcibly, it is advantageous for moving according to plan. ⚠️ caution: Maintaining oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth after meals, may be somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, due to the device's structure, it may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or pain in the initial stages. 💎 2. Clear braces (Invisalign) It is a method of moving teeth by replacing thin, transparent special plastic trays made to fit each individual. ✔️ characteristic: The device is aesthetically excellent as it is barely visible 🤫. Above all, it has the huge advantage of being overwhelmingly convenient for hygiene management because you can temporarily remove the device while eating. ✨ Latest Trends: Recently, medical technology has advanced dramatically, making it possible to sophisticatedly solve even much more diverse and complex cases compared to the past. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Aren't clear braces less effective than wire braces? A1. Those who remember the early models might think that way. However, recently, materials and technologies, such as attachments attached to teeth, have advanced dramatically. In fact, in cases such as 'deep bite' where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, clear aligners often lead to easier and more precise improvement. Ultimately, rather than the type of appliance The expertise of the attending specialist determines the outcome. do. Q2. Is there a significant cost difference between the two devices? A2. Due to the nature of the process requiring precise custom manufacturing, Invisalign (clear braces) is often priced higher than standard brackets (wire braces). However, even among wire braces, the device is attached hidden inside the teeth. Lingual correction If you choose ', the cost may actually be higher than clear braces. Therefore, rather than making a decision based solely on price, it is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each device with your lifestyle patterns. Q3. Who would you strongly recommend clear braces to? A3. For clear aligners, 'patient cooperation' is the absolute criterion that determines the success or failure of the treatment. Every day except when eating 'Self-directed' individuals who can strictly adhere to wearing times of 20 to 22 hours or more on their own I highly recommend it to you 👍. On the other hand, for those who are usually clumsy or find it troublesome and difficult to manage braces unless someone forcibly takes care of them, wire braces, which involve a mandatory nature, may actually be much safer and more advantageous. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful selection and consultation with a specialist come first. Straightening your teeth does not simply mean an external improvement that makes you look prettier. It is a very valuable health investment that reduces blind spots inside the oral cavity, makes oral hygiene easy to manage, and protects gum health for a long time. 💡 One more hidden advantage! During orthodontic treatment, you naturally avoid hard or chewy foods. As this process, the masticatory muscles (masseter muscles) gently contract, allowing you to expect the added benefit of a slimmer and improved facial contour. ⚠️ Above all, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis that matches my actual oral condition and skeletal structure.

오수환 원장26.06.16Views 126Likes 3 [Health Column] Is There Really an Optimal Age for Orthodontics? A Comprehensive Guide from Teens to 70s ✨[4]
Hello, I am the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. Lee Hyun-seop It is! 👋 "Director, isn't it too late for me to get braces right now? 😢" Interestingly, not only patients in their 20s and 30s but even those in their 50s ask this question exactly the same way. Conversely, parents with young children often worry, asking, "My child is still in elementary school, should they get orthodontic counseling already? 🤔" To start with the conclusion, There is no absolute deadline for orthodontic treatment age! 🙅♂️ It is just that the purpose of starting orthodontic treatment and the direction of treatment differ depending on the age group. Today, based on the most frequently asked questions in actual medical and consultation rooms, Stories of Orthodontics by Age Group I will explain it to you easily and in detail. 👇 1️⃣ Parents of elementary school children! Do you need to get an orthodontic consultation already? 👦👧 🦷 Even if your baby teeth are still falling out Be sure to check the status of jaw growth around the age of 6 to 8. Give it a try! Many parents are often surprised, saying, "You're saying you're getting braces already when your child's permanent teeth haven't even all come in yet? 😮". However, visiting the dentist at this time is not to get braces attached immediately. This is to determine whether your child currently requires correction and when the optimal time for treatment is. ✨ 📌 Growth management can be particularly important if the following symptoms are observed: 🔸 When a tendency toward an underbite or receding chin is observed 🔸 When the mouth is severely protruding or there is an open bite where the upper and lower teeth do not meet 🔸 When there is an underbite where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth 💡 A word of advice from the director! We strongly recommend visiting a dentist around the age of 6 to 8 to check the alignment of your teeth and the growth status of your jaw in advance. 2️⃣ Is the teenage growth period the most ideal time for orthodontic treatment? 🦷 🦷 Can control jawbone growth and The most efficient time due to rapid tooth movement no see! If I had to choose just one age for orthodontic treatment, most orthodontists would recommend the growth period. teenagers It talks about. 🧒👧 Since jawbone growth is still ongoing during this period, it is not only about simply aligning the teeth evenly Correctly controlling even the direction of jaw growth There is a huge advantage in being able to do it. Furthermore, the speed of tooth movement is relatively faster compared to adults. In fact, if orthodontic treatment is started during middle or high school, the range of treatment available is much wider than for adults. ⚠️ Parents occasionally ask, "Should I postpone braces due to academic stress or studying? 📝". If possible, do not delay it too much... It is good to receive benefits during the growth period. I tend to say that. 3️⃣ What is the most common reason patients in their 20s visit the dental orthodontics consultation room? 👱♀️👱♂️ 🦷 Interest in appearance is increasing, and people decide on treatment themselves.

이현섭 원장26.06.16Views 132Likes 3 [Health Column] Do I Really Need a Retainer After Finishing Orthodontic Treatment? Essential Facts You Must Know Before Starting Treatment[4]
Hello! This is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ Do you happen to remember the thrilling sense of liberation on the day you finally took off your long-lasting braces? Just when the difficult times are over and I admire my reflection in the mirror, the dentist throws another shocking challenge at me. 🗣️ From now on, you must wear your retainer diligently. It is recommended that you do so for almost the rest of your life. "I spent a fortune and precious time just to finally finish my braces, and now they're telling me to wear braces again? And for life at that?!" You are likely feeling a sense of injustice and frustration first. 😢 In reality, many people neglect the care of this retainer, only to have their teeth gradually shift again, forcing them to revisit the dentist with tears in their eyes. In today's column, I will discuss why orthodontic retainers are not an option. Absolutely essential I will explain it to you in a very easy and detailed way, along with cognitive and medical evidence! 📌 1️⃣ Why is it necessary to wear a dental retainer? 👋 Teeth remember exactly how they used to grow, crooked and uneven in the past! Surprisingly, all tissues in our body have the property of 'remembering their original state and trying to return to it.' In dental terminology Regression Instinct We call it that. 🔄 Even though strong force has been applied using orthodontic devices to move the teeth to the desired position, the surrounding tissues (gums, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament) still vividly remember the past position they maintained for many years. Therefore, from the very moment the carefully attached braces are removed, the teeth are subjected to a very strong force attempting to return to their original crooked positions, as if they had been waiting for this moment. ⚠️ 2️⃣ What is the physiological basis of the tissues surrounding the teeth? 👋 The 'periodontal ligament,' which is like a tightly stretched rubber band, pulls the tooth to return to its original position. Although teeth appear to be firmly embedded in the gum bone like concrete, in fact, between the teeth and the bone there is Periodontal ligament There is a very thin fibrous tissue called... 🌿 This periodontal ligament has characteristics just like a highly elastic rubber band! ⚡ During orthodontic treatment: As one side of the periodontal ligament stretches and the other side is compressed, the tooth gradually moves. Immediately after correction: Immediately after the device is removed, the periodontal ligament is like a rubber band stretched as tightly as it can be. As the force of this stretched rubber band attempts to contract back to its original state, it repeatedly pulls the teeth back to their previous positions. For the tissues and hard bone surrounding the tooth to be completely remodeled (reorganized), settle in place, and stabilize, at least 1 to 2 years It takes a long time. If you do not hold your teeth firmly in place with a retainer during this period, the beautiful alignment you worked so hard to achieve can quickly become misaligned. 3️⃣ How do teeth change as you get older? 👋 Regardless of whether braces are used, human teeth naturally shift forward as part of the aging process. "So, if I just close my eyes and hang in there for exactly two years after my braces are finished, will I not need to wear a retainer at all after that? 🤔" This is the question many of you ask the most, but unfortunately, the answer is "no" is. ❌ As humans age, they experience tooth movement as part of the natural aging process. In other words, even for people who have never received orthodontic treatment since birth, their teeth gradually shift forward as they age, causing the lower front teeth to become twisted and crooked. Therefore, to safely protect the perfect teeth alignment painstakingly achieved through orthodontic treatment from the effects of aging and maintain their beauty for a long time, the wisest way to preserve your teeth for the long term is to continue wearing a retainer long-term, even if you eventually wear it only at night. 🌙 4️⃣ What types of retainers are right for me? 👋 Retention devices are broadly divided into two types: 'fixed' and 'variable,' and typically, both are used in combination to enhance effectiveness. 📌 1. Fixed retainer This is a fixation method where a very thin wire is directly attached to the inside of the front teeth using dental resin. 🦷 merit: It is completely invisible from the outside and holds the teeth in place 24 hours a day, so the retention effect is the most reliable. 👍 Points to note: Due to the structure of the wire, tartar tends to form easily, so it is essential to brush thoroughly on a daily basis and receive regular scaling. ⚠️ 📌 2. Variable (Detachable) Retainer (Removable or transparent device) It is a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves as needed. 🔄 characteristic: Immediately after orthodontic treatment, you must wear the braces diligently all day long, except when eating. After some time, as your teeth stabilize, you should gradually adjust the wearing time according to your doctor's instructions, such as wearing them only while sleeping. Points to note: Patient compliance (how well they insert it without taking it off) is key to success, and care must be taken to prevent the device from being lost or deformed by heat when removed. Please make sure to keep the dedicated case handy so you don't lose it! 💼 💬 FAQ (Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. How long do I have to wear the retainer? A1. If I were to give you the most ideal medical answer It is good to maintain it long-term for more than half a lifetime. no see. ♾️ As humans naturally age, teeth gradually shift forward, so if the appliance is completely removed, there is a very high probability that the alignment of the teeth will become deformed again as you get older. However, in the case of fixed appliances, they adhere completely to the inside of the teeth and cause almost no disruption to daily life. Over time, you will adapt so perfectly that you will even forget they are attached, so we strongly recommend that you keep them as a reliable 'protective shield' to safeguard your precious teeth! 🛡️ Q2. Plaque builds up very easily around the internal fixed wire appliance. Do you have any maintenance tips? A2. Yes, it is perfectly normal, and structurally, tartar is bound to form more easily. 😥 This is because the fine gaps between the resin surface holding the wire in place and the wire itself are difficult to clean perfectly with ordinary brushing alone. When brushing, clean the inner surfaces of your teeth more thoroughly by sweeping up and down, and instead of regular dental floss, use one with firm ends. Orthodontic floss (Superfloss) Please use an interdental brush to keep the spaces between the wires clean. Above all, visiting the dentist every six months for regular checkups and scaling is the most certain and safest preventive measure. 🏥 Q3. I didn't wear the adjustable device for a few days, and it hurts a lot when I put it back on. Should I force myself to wear it? A3. The fact that you feel a dull pain when putting the device back on means that the teeth have already started moving back to their original positions during those short few days. Clear evidence It is! 🚨 Fortunately, if the device fits completely but feels tight and painful, you must increase the wearing time again to fully seat the teeth in the device before the teeth become misaligned further. However, if the device does not fit at all or is noticeably distorted and does not fit You must never force it in! ❌ Since excessive deformation of the teeth or the appliance itself may occur, you must visit a dental clinic immediately to check the condition of your current alignment and have the appliance adjusted or remade. 🎯 Conclusion Many patients think that the day the orthodontic appliances attached to their teeth are removed is the 'final destination' marking the end of all treatment, but in reality... The day the very important second stage of treatment, 'maintenance and care,' begins anew It is. 🏁 Orthodontic retainers are the most reliable way to safely protect the precious time and money you have invested, as well as the great patience you have endured to make your teeth beautiful. 'insurance' It seems like a lot. 💖 Does your retainer feel a bit loose right now, has it become deformed, or has the inner wire suddenly fallen off? In that case, you must absolutely not neglect it and visit a dentist immediately. Even a very subtle misalignment can eventually damage your entire dentition that you have painstakingly built. Because it can knock down like dominoes It is. ⚠️ We hope you keep your precious and beautiful smile healthy for a lifetime through regular dental checkups and thorough retainer care! There is value within your perfectly aligned teeth that cannot be fully captured in numbers. 🦷✨ Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

정재욱 원장26.06.15Views 120Likes 3 What I was worried about regarding the premolar implant at Himplant Dental Clinic was the pain and the cost.[9]
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.
릴리윤26.06.13Views 127Likes 3 I was worried about the cost and pain of the implant at Seoul Smiling Face Dental Clinic.[12]
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.
