If you neglect tooth loss, you'll end up needing the full course of bone grafts and implants lol
I lost a molar, but honestly, it's not even noticeable, and I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter if I eat on the other side. If there is anyone living with this neglected for N years.......it's definitely time for a bone graft and implants....lol I had bone graft and implant surgery at Pyeongchang like that. Ultimately, it finished well, and now I eat well and live well, but...? I think it would have been much easier to get it over with if I hadn't put it off and just rushed to the dentist. I'm doing well now, but that's the only thing I find a bit lacking hahaha
못난마름모26.04.01Views 68Likes 0 I've been told I need a bone graft. Are there any places in Bupyeong, Incheon that offer dental implants?[1]
I went to the dentist, and they told me I don't have enough bone and need a bone graft to get implants. When I look for a hospital, the thing I check the most is whether the doctor is a specialist, lol. I heard that the head director of Plan Dental Clinic is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. If anyone has experience with bone grafting, I am curious to know what your experience was like. I would also like to know if it hurts and how long the recovery period takes.
라밍이26.03.26Views 54Likes 0 [Health Column] There are so many different types of implant bone grafting... What criteria should you use to choose?[7]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. If you hear the explanation “let’s do bone grafting together” during your implant consultation, Many people 'Is treatment truly necessary? What are the criteria for selection?' is the question most people are curious about. Bone grafting is not simply an “additional treatment”; 👉 Bone quantity and condition 👉 Implant location 👉 Functional and aesthetic requirements This is a treatment process that is decided by considering these factors together. To understand the types and characteristics of bone grafting at a glance ✔️ When you need it ✔️ In which case which method is chosen? ✔️ Judgment points you should know I'll try to organize it. Why is 'bone grafting' necessary for implants? 🦷 Implants need strong bone to be stably placed. implants is an artificial tooth root (fixture) Fixed to the jawbone It is a treatment that is done. so ✔ Sufficient amount of bone ✔ Adequate bone density is very important. but, If you have been missing teeth for a long time If the inflammation was severe If the gum bone is originally thin In many cases, the bone has already been absorbed, so a bone graft may be necessary. That is, the implant Reinforcement process for stronger and longer lasting use It's good to understand it like this! What types of implant bone grafting are there? 🦷There are four main types, and the choice depends on the situation. ① Autologous bone graft — “Is this how you use my bones?” ✔ This is a method of harvesting and using bones from my body. ✨ merit Highest survival rate Bone regeneration is also fast ⚠️ disadvantage Additional procedures are needed to harvest bone. The scope of treatment may be expanded It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 If you have a severe bone deficiency 👉 Situations where stability is especially important ② Allogeneic bone graft — “Is it safe to use other people’s bones?” ✔ This is a method of using donated bones after sterilizing them. ✨ merit Less burdensome than autologous bone Relatively rapid bone formation ⚠️ disadvantage Absorption rate can be relatively fast It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 When it is burdensome to use only autologous bone 👉 With other transplant materials Mix and use together It often happens ③ Xenograft — “Is it okay to use animal bones?” ✔ We use ingredients that are safely refined from bones derived from animals such as cows and pigs. ✨ Advantages The structure is stable Good shape retention, good for maintaining volume ⚠️ Cons Bone formation may be somewhat slow It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Maxillary sinus augmentation 👉 When maintaining bone shape is important ④ Synthetic bone graft — “Are there any materials that are completely artificial?” ✔ It is an artificially produced bone graft. ✨ Advantages Low risk of infection Consistent quality Easy to use ⚠️ Cons May have limitations when used alone It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Mixed use with other grafting materials 👉 When a relatively small range of reinforcement is required So, which bone graft is best? 🦷The correct answer is 'the combination that suits the situation' all. This is a question I get asked a lot, but there is no single 'right' answer. Because the selection is determined by considering all of the factors below. ✔ How much bone is lacking? ✔ Location of implant placement ✔ Whether to plant at the same time ✔ Overall health So in some cases Use of multiple grafts together Sometimes it does. in other words, " bone grafting = Rather than “optional”, “The safest treatment process tailored to your current condition.” It would be most accurate to understand it like this. FAQ Q1. Is bone grafting absolutely necessary? A1. Not everyone needs it, but Insufficient bone condition directly affects implant stability. It is important to first accurately check the condition through consultation. Q2. Which bone graft is the ‘best’? A2. Rather than saying that a particular graft material is always the best, **the choice that best suits the individual's bone condition and treatment plan is the 'best'**. Q3. I am concerned that bone grafting may be overtreatment. A3. If it is not necessary, do not proceed, rather It is often essential for long-term stability and maintenance. . conclusion Implant bone grafting, remember it like this! ✔️ Not “over-treatment”, but only when necessary ✔️ Type varies depending on condition ✔️ It is not a treatment that focuses on just one thing. ✔️ Above all else Accurate diagnosis is key It may feel burdensome, but Considering long-term stability and usage period A process that is meaningful enough This could be it. After consulting with a medical professional, choose the best method for your condition.

이현섭 원장26.01.02Views 470Likes 5 [Health Column] Is Bone Grafting Really Necessary for Implants? Key Points to Consider Before Surgery[7]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. At the dentist Implant consultation The most nerve-wracking moment when receiving it is “I need a bone graft.” Isn't it when you hear that? Costs are rising, and concerns are growing about whether treatment is truly necessary. In particular, you may have had the experience of being confused because the language was slightly different at each hospital. But rather than worrying Accurate understanding comes first. Today, we'll explain what implant 'bone grafting' is, whether it's really necessary for everyone, and even give you some tips for making a wise decision. 1. What exactly does implant bone grafting mean? ✨Bone grafting is not a process of ‘filling in bone’, but rather a process of creating space for new bone to grow. Many people think of bones as hard and unchanging tissues like stone, but in reality, Bone is a living tissue that is continuously created and reshaped and has microscopically porous structures. no see. thus Implant bone grafting is not simply a concept of filling, The process of creating space for bone cells to grow into It's much easier to understand if you think of it this way. When building a house, if you first set up the 'formwork', concrete will be poured into it and harden, right? Bone grafting is similar! The graft material acts as a mold. As my bone cells grow and enter it, it hardens into solid bone over time. In other words, bone grafting is not a process of 'attaching' bones, but a process of creating a 'frame (space)' for new bone growth. 2. What materials are used for bone grafting? Many people worry, “It’s not even my bone, so will it be okay?” bone graft material It is broadly divided into the following: 🔸 autologous bone Bone taken from the patient during surgery 🔸 heterognathic bone Materials safely processed from animal bones such as cows, horses, and pigs 🔸 Homologous bone Materials collected from another person's tissue and then sterilized and verified No single ingredient is always the best! They are used in combination according to the patient's gum bone condition and defect range. 3. So… is it impossible to get an implant ‘without bone grafting’? ✨ The correct answer is NO. Bone grafting is not necessary in all cases. The most important factor in deciding whether to have a bone graft is right, “How long has it been since you lost your tooth?” 📌 In this case, it is likely to be 'necessary' ⬆️ If you have lost a tooth for a long time and the gum bone has been absorbed a lot When the remaining bone thickness is very thin 📌 In this case, it may be 'avoidable' If the tooth was extracted relatively recently and there is sufficient existing bone remaining Also, these days, as implant technology advances, In some cases, stable implantation is possible without major surgery by using a 'short implant'. as a result “Bone grafting is not something that must always be done,” but rather a treatment that is decided based on the patient’s condition! 4. Short implants, are they okay? class I thought that a long implant would be advantageous, but Nowadays, surface technology and fixation power have advanced. Even short implants can be expected to provide sufficient stability. FAQ Q1. Are the purposes of bone grafting different for front teeth, molars, and teeth? A1. Yes, they are different. Molars must withstand strong chewing forces, so functional stability is the primary goal. Front teeth, on the other hand, are important for aesthetic reasons, as they need to prevent gum recession and shape changes. Therefore, if there is enough bone left on the molar side, it is possible to make a strategic choice of not necessarily going for bone grafting. Q2. If I don't do bone grafting and place a short implant, won't it be weak? A2. Surface treatment technology has improved, so you can expect sufficient fixing power. Q3. Is there anything patients can do in advance to avoid implant bone grafting? A3. If you manage inflammation well before tooth extraction, the implant environment can be greatly improved. Conclusion - “Knowing your bone condition and making a choice” is the most important. Implants are not simply a treatment to fill empty spaces. The process of remaking parts of my body no see. ✔️ “Everyone else is doing it” ✔️ “Because the hospital told me to do it” It's not something you can just decide. ✨ What is the condition of my bones? ✨ Is the purpose of bone grafting functional or aesthetic? ✨ Is there no alternative? It is wisest to compare and decide slowly based on this standard. If necessary, seek consultation from several hospitals. A treatment plan tailored to your oral condition I hope you find it.

I just lived with my wisdom teeth in bad condition I don't think I can continue like this I made up my mind to go to the dentist and contacted him, but I was nervous. I had a hard time just living with the discomfort. I had an X-ray taken at that time. The condition of the teeth is such that there is no bone left. They say I need a bone graft. So I had bone grafting done immediately after extraction. The cost of bone grafting alone for implants is an additional 300,000 won. And after managing it for 3 months, there were no aftereffects. As the teeth settle in, you can see that the empty space in the gums is filled with white after the bone grafting. Complete implant prosthesis after bone grafting I'm still using it without any problems, just like my own teeth.

Bone grafting can be performed in two ways: one is to place the implant 3 to 6 months after the bone grafting procedure, depending on the remaining amount of alveolar bone; the other is to perform bone harvesting, grafting, and implant placement simultaneously in a single procedure. While there is an advantage of shortening the duration when performing implants simultaneously, it can also cause 부담감 due to various procedures. Since the amount and condition of the jawbone vary for each individual, it is important to choose the most suitable implant procedure from among the various methods. I immediately underwent bone graft and implant placement after extraction. The advantages are rapid recovery and healing rates, as well as quickly reducing the period of stability. It also significantly shortened the recovery time. The disadvantages include high costs such as implants and bone grafts, as well as physical fatigue, swelling in the mouth during recovery, and potential discomfort. Of course, it can vary from person to person. Young and healthy individuals tend to recover quickly from implants, while older or ill individuals may experience a slower recovery. Just sharing an implant for your reference. Haha.

The date has not been confirmed yet, but I think I need to get an implant. However, after checking here and there, it seems that the prices have definitely decreased compared to before. Whenever I listen, I always hear about bone grafts. Is bone grafting always a basic requirement when getting an implant?
케이스24.08.28Views 735Likes 14 Be sure to check whether bone grafting is included in the implant cost![7]
When talking about implants, there was talk that bone grafting was absolutely necessary. So I looked into whether I should get a bone graft implant. Implants are placed into the gum bone. Therefore, the amount and quality of gum bone are important factors for implants. Bone grafting implants make the gum bones stronger. But sometimes, when I look at dental clinics that hold implant events, I heard that bone grafting sometimes comes with an additional cost?! I saw a dental event at the Cashdoc Hospital event! There are a lot of events here that include the cost of bone graft implants :) Learn about Daejeon bone grafting and implant dentistry! In particular, it is better to receive implant surgery from a director with a lot of surgical experience. Here at the dental clinic, we have a director with over 20 years of experience in implant surgery! Find out if bone grafting costs are included or not~

Implant bone grafting method + hospital recommendation request[10]
I was curious about the implant bone grafting method, so I looked it up. Implant bone grafting? Sufficient gum bone must be formed for implant surgery. For patients with chronic periodontitis that has led to gum bone resorption, long-term denture use, or untreated cavities that have destroyed the gum bone, making it insufficient for implant surgery, a bone graft, either the patient's own or an artificial bone, can be used to increase the bone volume before implant surgery. Because the amount of gum bone varies from person to person, a specialist's accurate diagnosis and thorough consultation are essential for determining the most appropriate treatment method. Bone grafting is an essential treatment to increase the success rate of implants. They say it's good to get bone grafting for implants, but usually, when there's an event, the cost of bone grafting is added separately, so it becomes much more expensive! Daejeon One Day Dental Clinic We are having an event for 680,000 won including all bone grafting. Among patients, there are many cases where the timing for tooth extraction has been missed and the gum bone is insufficient. The cost of implants is very expensive, and on top of that, bone It is true that it is a big burden to have a transplant. At Daejeon Haru Dental Clinic, the cost of implants includes bone grafting and is 680,000 won without any additional costs!! Since the surgery is performed directly by the director with 20 years of experience in implant surgery and state-of-the-art digital equipment, the probability of failure is very low. If you are curious about implant bone grafting or are concerned about the high cost of implant bone grafting, I think it would be a good idea to use the dentist in Daejeon one day! Anyway, as I write this, I think it's time for me to get dental treatment, so I should hurry and make an appointment. Haha Everyone, please make sure to get affordable dental treatment!

The dentist says they are feeling sick. They say just endure it once or twice, but Sometimes I see posts where people say they're in pain, so honestly, I'm scared. The place where I need an implant hurts ㅠ.,ㅠ Oh, my body also feels down. Sitting... Inside, the inflammation is severe as well... But still Maybe it's not that severe right now. We also had a consultation and took photos, and we agreed to proceed after Chuseok. After the long holiday Next week, everything I was forbidden from doing will be over, and I can start now. Many people say it hurts when doing bone grafts... I'm scared. Honestly, I'm scared. I'm very scared. First, we decided to go with the best option. No matter how good it is, what's the use if it hurts? I want to do it... and there are also people who say they are still in pain after doing it. I'm most curious whether it's just luck or if it's a hospital issue.

It seems that when getting an implant, they ultimately suggest doing a bone graft. It is probably best that the place supporting the implant is strong. Are there any people who have had implants without bone grafting? It seems that many people are undergoing bone grafting. Bone grafting costs are actually quite high and take a long time. I have been using implants for over 10 years now, and although they are semi-permanent, I feel like I might need to do it again. I'm curious if others have had implants without bone grafting. Then, I think the cost also becomes much cheaper.

My husband also had implants done before, but at that time, they used the existing bone, so it wasn't a major reconstruction. However, my bones were too weak, so I had to undergo major surgery to implant artificial bonesㅠㅠ I think that process was the most painful for meㅠㅠ The position happened to be right in the center of my lower front teeth, and the philtrum and chin areas all got bruised and swollen.ㅠㅠ I was completely out of it, so I stayed at home for a whileㅠㅠ For commitments I absolutely can't keep, I go out wearing dentures(?)... hahaha Now is the time, everything is finished, and I am so happy to be born anew, but it was an experience I never want to go through againㅠㅠㅠ Now, I just need to go regularly for check-ups, they said lol Since I have a dental appointment this week, I'll leave a review^^

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

이현섭 원장26.05.06Views 53Likes 2 This is a question regarding the cost of dental implants.[3]
These days, there are many advertisements from dental clinics stating that implant costs are around 250,000 won. Of course, I only realized after actually undergoing the procedure that bone graft costs are excluded. However, I couldn't understand why it is cheaper without insurance coverage than the 300,000 won cost with insurance, so I inquired with the National Health Insurance Service but did not receive a definitive answer, so I am asking here.

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

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

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

I had two molar implants placed in my late 40s, so it has been about 12 years now. However, the implant sites keep getting inflamed and swelling easily. Sometimes, the swelling is so severe that I cannot chew food on that side, causing me to suffer for days. I know I need to visit the dentist for a check-up, but I keep putting it off. So, I would like to know if I need to get new implants and what the lifespan of dental implants is. I would appreciate the advice of anyone who has experienced something similar.

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

hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ As you get older, dental and gum problems are a difficult concern to avoid. In fact, there are many people who visit the clinic heartbroken after losing more than half of their teeth. In the past, many people used dentures, but nowadays, they prefer implants because they provide good chewing power and cause less foreign body sensation. However, proceeding with almost no teeth Full implant Since the physical and financial burden is significant, a more precise plan is required. ✏️ Why is precise diagnosis so important for full body implants? ? As this is a highly complex surgery involving the implantation of 15 to 20 implants in the upper and lower jaws, meticulous planning is essential. Full dental implants are a major surgery that goes beyond simply implanting a few teeth to reconstructing the entire oral cavity. Because the scope of the surgery is wide Implant location perfectly suited to the individual's oral structure and gum condition Deciding on that is the key. Director's Tip! To restore chewing power similar to natural teeth and use them comfortably for a long time, the first step, the 'diagnosis,' must be accurate. ✏️ If you forcefully save a bad tooth, it can actually be harmful. ? 👉🏻Insisting on using teeth that are in poor condition can lead to the need for implant revision surgery, so caution is required. Many people say, "I want to save even one more of my teeth," but if you forcibly leave behind a tooth with severe inflammation... Inflammation can spread to the newly implanted implant. As a result, if you have to undergo revision surgery, it will cost twice as much time and money. • Checkpoint Based on the diagnosis of an expert with over 190,000 implantation data points, there are times when bold decisions are necessary for long-term success. ✏️ What is the 'principled treatment' that Toktok Plant insists on? ? 👉🏻 We ensure long-term stability with customized abutment teeth and high-strength zirconia. The implant procedure proceeds in the order of implanting a fixture into the gum bone, connecting an abutment, and then placing a prosthesis. The most important thing at this time is The fixation of the body firmly into the bone It is. If there is a bone deficiency, a bone graft must be performed to ensure long-term stability. • Materials used We tailored to each patient's gum line Custom abutment Reduced worry about fracture strong Zirconia prostheses We are increasing durability by using 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. How long does the entire implant treatment usually take? A1. There are individual differences, but usually 3 to 6 months It takes about that long. The three months required for the fixture to firmly bond with the gum bone (osseointegration) is a necessary period of patience. You must go through this process properly to use it healthily for a lifetime. Q2. Is it absolutely necessary to have an incision and bone graft? A2. If there is sufficient bone, a non-incisional procedure is possible, but, Most of them are for the lifespan of the implant Sufficient bone graft This is necessary do. To create a sturdy foundation, the necessary areas must be properly incised and the bone meticulously filled in. Q3. How long does an implant last? A3. If you plant it properly according to the principles and the patient manages it meticulously semi-permanent use This is possible. If standard treatment and aftercare based on 190,000 data points are combined, it can easily last for decades. 🔹 Conclusion: A choice that changes your quality of life A choice that changes your quality of life Implants are not simply tools for chewing food, The process of rebuilding your quality of life no see. In the era of centenarians, implants that last only 10 years are meaningless. ✔️ Please make sure to remember this! • From surgery to prosthetics Standard principles Please check if you are observing it. • Where clinical data is abundant Safe medical treatment Please receive this. • Regularly even after implantation Aftercare is mandatory!

I visited Ace Dental Clinic in Jeonju after fracturing a tooth while eating. Since it didn't improve even after root canal treatment, they advised me to get an implant, so I proceeded with the procedure. They didn't recommend it immediately but told me to think it over carefully before deciding, and as expected, they spoke from the patient's perspective without any unnecessary overtreatment. Not only the director but also the nurses were really kind, so I had a pleasant consultation and finished my implant procedure. I am very satisfied with how well it turned out.

After recently getting dental implants, I have been experiencing persistent discomfort because the bite between my upper and lower teeth feels a bit too high. It bothered me that specific areas felt like they were touching first whenever I ate, so I visited a dental clinic for a consultation. I felt confident because they thoroughly checked my bite and accurately identified the areas making contact first using a checklist. The treatment proceeded by finely adjusting the occlusion of the implant prosthesis. They trimmed the parts that were touching too high very slightly while having me bite down multiple times, and meticulously adjusted it until it interlocked naturally. I felt reassured because they continuously checked to make sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort, and after the treatment, the feeling of my teeth leaning to one side disappeared, and I could feel myself chewing evenly overall.

I thought cheap implants were always bad, but it turns out that's not the case lol~~
I don't usually write reviews like this, but I'm so excited that I decided to write one haha. I went to this dental clinic for implants based on recommendations from neighborhood moms, and they call it Plan, haha. The price range was so incredibly cheap~~ I thought, "Wow, I really hit the jackpot!" The director has an incredible amount of experience, too. And why are the other staff members so friendly? The surgery was over quickly, and getting the implants put in feels like a fresh start haha~~ Isn't that silly? Haha Anyway, I'm so glad I found a really good dental clinic lol~~~ This is definitely my go-to dentist! If anything happens to my family, I will definitely go here.

I have severe high blood pressure. I have been taking blood pressure medication for several years. I was worried whether even someone like me could get an implant.

바리바라26.04.08Views 95Likes 0 [Health Column] What If Your Implant Screw Is Loose or Has Fallen Out? A Comprehensive Guide to Weekend Emergency Responses![3]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. While eating a meal as usual, suddenly the implant It feels like it just popped out. Whenever a tooth comes in or I chew A 'rattling' unfamiliar feeling Have you ever felt it? Especially since this situation happened to cause the hospital to close. weekends or late nights You would be very flustered if it happened. 😰 "Is this completely broken?", "Should I go to the emergency room right away?" For those who are concerned, ✨ today Actions You Must Never Do When an Implant Screw Loosens and the Correct Ways to Respond to Them for Each Situation We will summarize it for you in an easy-to-understand way! 1. Why do implant screws suddenly become loose? ? 🦷 This is because the 'screw' securing the prosthesis has loosened due to various causes. Implants are not simply a single unit, but are embedded within the gum bone Artificial root (fixture) , column (abutment) , and visible Prosthetics (crowns) It consists of the structure of What binds them tightly is the 'screw' is. 🔩 📌 The screw may come loose for these reasons! Chewing pressure: When excessive chewing force is concentrated on only one side Oral habits: The habit of grinding or clenching one's teeth unconsciously Wear and tear and aging: If the screw itself is worn out due to long-term use Initial fixation force: Rarely, when initial bonding strength was slightly insufficient or bone fusion was unstable 2. If an implant screw comes loose, do I absolutely have to have it re-implanted? ? 🦷 Don't worry! As long as the root (fixture) is intact, simply tightening the screws again will solve the problem. Many people ask, "If it loosens, doesn't that mean the implant is ruined?" but fortunately... Re-implantation is not always necessary. ✅ The situation is broadly divided into two types. In the case where only the screw is loose : The fixture is firmly attached to the bone and Only the prosthesis placed on top is loose It is. At the dental clinic It can be easily solved by simply tightening it again. It works! ✨ Problems with the entire structure : If acting as a root If the fixture itself is shaking Additional treatment or re-implantation may be necessary. Therefore, shaking is felt Early response Doing so is the smartest way to reduce the scope of treatment. 3. What should you absolutely never do when an implant is loose? ? 🦷 Attempting to fix it could actually completely ruin the implant. ⚠️ This is absolutely forbidden! Direct screw tightening: If you use tools or screwdrivers found at home screw threads The ('wavy grooves etched into the screw') may be damaged, rendering it completely unusable. ❌ Use super glue: This is a surprisingly common mistake! If you apply adhesive, the prosthesis will become impossible to remove later. You might have to smash even your perfectly good prosthetics and make new ones. 😱 Continue eating as is: If you continue to chew while it is rattling, the internal structures may wear down, or in the worst case, even the fixture inside the bone may be damaged. 4. I can't go to the dentist because it's the weekend. What should I do right now? ? 🦷 Don't panic, just remember two things: 'protection' and 'storage'. If you are unable to visit the hospital immediately, please make sure to follow the steps below by Monday morning. Stop using the affected area : Minimize chewing, and absolutely Eating only on the opposite side Do it. 🍽️ Consume soft foods : It is recommended to focus on liquid foods that require minimal chewing, such as porridge, soup, and tofu. Keep the missing prosthesis clean. : If the crown has completely fallen out, please keep it safe so you don't lose it and be sure to bring it with you when you visit! 📥 Quick booking : You need to find a dental clinic that is open on weekends, or schedule an appointment as soon as Monday arrives. 5. What problems arise if a loose implant screw is left untreated? ? 🦷 What could have been prevented with a hoe might end up requiring a shovel. That is why regular inspections are essential! If you ignore the slight shaking and keep using it, you will eventually pay a heavy price. 😢 Damaged parts : The screw may wear out or the connecting post (abutment) may break. Bone resorption progress : A loose prosthesis can cause continuous irritation to the gums, leading to the surrounding bone dissolving. Risk of re-surgery : In the end, it was a problem that could be solved simply by tightening. Major surgery to extract and re-implant implants It may lead to. 🔸 ✨ Preventive measures for long-lasting durability! Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes 🪥 Check the screw tightening status every time through regular checkups If you grind your teeth, wear a splint. FAQ Q1. I tried putting the fallen prosthesis back in, and it fits perfectly. Can I just use it as is? ? A1. No! Even if it appears to fit on the outside, food particles can enter through tiny gaps and cause inflammation, or it may slip out quickly due to being unable to withstand chewing forces, potentially damaging the inside. ⚠️ It must be fixed at a dental clinic using specialized tools. Q2. Are there people whose implant screws frequently come loose? ? A2. Those who chew very hard or enjoy tough foods, or those who have a habit of grinding their teeth severely while sleeping, may experience screws loosening relatively more frequently. In this case, it is recommended to shorten the interval between regular checkups. conclusion Loose implant screws are an 🚨'emergency signal' sent by our body. It might be disconcerting because it appeared suddenly, but in most cases, it is a phenomenon that develops as small abnormalities accumulate. Don't panic even if it happens on the weekend! The most important thing is Seek a specialist quickly after stopping use, without touching it directly. no see. Implants are just as important as they are to be implanted properly. Using it while managing it well Please make sure to remember that this determines your lifespan!

이현섭 원장26.04.08Views 450Likes 2 Deokgye Dental Clinic in Yangju City: Even difficult implants are perfect.
A doctor who effortlessly handles even difficult implant procedures and possesses a strong sense of duty as a physician. I had neglected a single tooth that was painful and had become severely damaged, so I visited several local clinics, but the only response I received was that the surgery would be too complex and I needed to go to a university hospital. Since university hospital implants cost more than three times the price of a regular dental clinic, I was at a loss when I found my doctor. After examining my condition, the doctor kindly agreed to perform the surgery willingly, even though it was clearly difficult. Furthermore, he is a truly skilled doctor who did not charge me extra for the procedure and showed consideration for me traveling from afar. Thank you, doctor, for treating that notoriously difficult treatment effortlessly and perfectly.

Recover your health after receiving treatment and implants at Yemidam Dental Clinic in Anyang!
Dentist's name: Lee Jeong-hyeok Dental Clinic Name: Yemidam Dental Clinic Regular check-up of treated items Nowadays, there is a thorough awareness of oral care, so people practice scientific and systematic management such as brushing, gargling, and using waterpiks. However, in the past, such concepts were less common, so people tended to be careless and less conscious about it. On top of that, perhaps due to a family genetic predisposition for weak gums, my gums and teeth have been in poor condition for generations. Consequently, I suffered from dental problems for a long time. Then, in 2011, I discovered Yemidam Dental Clinic and received extensive treatment and implants from Director Lee Jung-hyuk. Since then, following the doctor's instructions for care and check-ups, I have been using my teeth comfortably and in good health.

I had implant surgery at Bupyeong Plan.
I finally got the implants I've been putting off since last year. I had two lower molars implanted at once. I was most nervous before the surgery. It finished surprisingly quickly and was actually pretty good. The surgery took about an hour. I really like that they offer after-sales service here and the staff take such thorough care of you. It’s a place recommended by an acquaintance, so I plan to treat them to a meal soon. I saved a lot of money, too.
가느다라미26.04.06Views 51Likes 1 Review of molar implant at Suwon King Kong Dental Clinic, experience of a part falling off
I had a molar implant done 5 years ago, but the middle part broke off. I neglected it for a long time before visiting the clinic, but... I was told that other parts were more problematic. Still, they only treated the part I was originally scheduled to have treated. When I asked why it fell off, they told me to think of it as a component, implying that it could fall off frequently... It was shocking. They also told me that if it falls off again, I should visit a nearby clinic for treatment even if I can't come to theirs. However, other clinics charge 50,000 to 80,000 won, while this clinic charges only 15,000 won... I absolutely could not understand if that was even a reasonable price. Then, a person claiming to be the director came in, only checked the condition of my tooth, asked me to check other areas besides the one I wanted treated, and then disappeared. Someone else treated me. I received treatment without even knowing exactly who that person was—whether they were a doctor, a nurse, or someone else... If it weren't for this implant, I would never want to go to this clinic again.

Review of the implant consultation for the public good (feat. My Dad) 👀
My dad's lower molars are in really bad condition 😢 I'm old and have high blood pressure, so I'm very worried and have visited about five dental clinics. The last dental clinic I visited was Pran Dental Clinic, and since they specialize exclusively in implants, I have high expectations. First of all, the price was twice as cheap as other dental clinics, but that didn't mean the quality was poor! My dad liked that part the most, and the director seemed really skilled👍.... After visiting several places, I realized that price isn't everything... It seems that just because something is expensive doesn't automatically mean it's good. Make sure you find a good place that is large, friendly, and has experience with implants!!
머리야돌아라26.04.03Views 66Likes 0 Good Dental Clinic in Busanjin-gu, I am very satisfied with my implant surgery.[3]
The sofas in the hospital lounge are incredibly comfortable, and the waiting area is well-equipped. Recently, with the proliferation of illegal, low-cost implant clinics, I also suffered from revision surgery, and I learned there are even clinics that run away with the money. So, after doing extensive research, I had my implant surgery at Chamjoeun Dental Clinic. First of all, the medical staff are outstanding in terms of skill. They certified me before the surgery, and I had the operation performed by the director. I thought the anesthesia was finally over, but a nurse told me the surgery was finished. I am grateful for the minimal pain and bleeding, and for successfully operating on my high-difficulty case. I highly recommend Chamjoeun Dental Clinic; it is busy with patients because of their excellent skills.👍 The dentist who performed the scaling was also very thorough, and since I went with my family, they were happy that the surgery seemed to finish so quickly.

I just came back from a consultation about dental implants.[1]
I needed to get dental implants, so I looked around a lot. Besides, since it's near my front teeth and highly visible... I looked into it quite thoroughly. I went to Plan Dental Clinic, which specializes in implants, right near Bupyeong Market Station. First of all, the consultation manager was very kind and provided excellent consultation. Unlike other places, the prices here were quite cheap. I was worried that you might get what you pay for, but then I saw the director's credentials and was really intimidated. The hospital is quite large and seems to have been seeing patients for a long time, so I came here to schedule my surgery. I chose the right dentist, right?

Procedure Received: Orthodontics Attending Physician: Park Young-seung Pain and recovery period: Pain intensity is moderate to severe. The recovery period is 1 to 2 years. I heard that it takes time. Since I had five implants placed, the treatment period was that long. It has become longer. We proceeded with implants along with bone grafting. And I also decided to get professional teeth whitening. Because I drank a lot of coffee and vitamin drinks We are proceeding because the teeth have turned yellow. Director Park Young-seung provides a kind explanation that is easy to understand. They helped us out, and the staff are generally friendly. Above all, on Tuesdays, they even provide night consultations. I feel like I was always able to get treatment without any pressure after work. It is a dental clinic that has a large number of patients due to word of mouth in the neighborhood. thank you..

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

People around me said Plan Dental Clinic was good, so I took my mother there for a consultation. I was very worried because my mother is quite old. The director explained things slowly and at my mother's level, so as her son, I felt relieved. Since you are looking at the test results together and explaining exactly where and how things are problematic, it is easy to understand even for someone like me who doesn't know much about implants. They carefully checked my blood pressure medication as well, and I can really feel that the director provides treatment with utmost sincerity. My mother says she's glad we came, too.
진실의미간26.03.31Views 61Likes 0 What criteria should I use to choose an implant dental clinic?[3]
One of my molars became loose and I was told it eventually has to be extracted, so I am looking into dental implants. I searched online and found that there are various materials available and bone grafting might be necessary. Prices also vary widely from hospital to hospital, so it’s hard to know what criteria to use when choosing. Since it's my first time, I'm worried about getting overtreated. For those of you in the Bupyeong area who got implants, where did you have them done? I would like to at least get a consultation first, and I would like a dental clinic that gives honest advice.

My lower right molar was aching, and I heard it eventually cracked. I had an X-ray taken and they said it's hard to save the baby and I need an implant. Honestly, hearing that all of a sudden makes me worried. The local dentist suggested doing it right away, but I'm a bit uneasy about getting implants just anywhere. For those of you in Ilsan who got dental implants, where did you have them done? I heard that if my bone condition is good, I can do it right away, but I want to go to a place that does a good job.

It was my first dental implant ever, and the surgery felt like it took less than 30 minutes. Maybe because of the anesthesia, it didn't hurt much, and I didn't have to eat porridge for that long. Now that the stitches are out, the swelling has completely gone down, so it looks so normal... I'm just curious for no reason... lol I've gotten so much better now that I can even eat chicken. I'd say the implant was a success at this point, right? For reference, I had the procedure done at Plan Dental Clinic. If anyone else had it done there, I’d love to hear a review!
