I wanted to get dental implants for my parents, so I had a consultation. Nowadays, medical insurance covers it, and the prices have become more affordable, making it a great health gift for my parents. The doctor provided a friendly and helpful consultation.

I got implants for my parents' upper molars. With the promotional price and insurance coverage, I couldn't believe I could get Osstem at this price. I've shown my parents some love and saved money as well. They're very satisfied!

I went for a consultation because I want to get implants for my parents. These days, there are insurance benefits and the prices have dropped, so I think it's a great way to show my parents some love. The doctor provided a very friendly consultation.
24.04.08 Chamgoon Smile Dental Orthodontics Clinic
Braces treatment and procedures are a little pricey. The main doctor is friendly and caring. The parking is narrow and complicated. The underground parking on the third floor is somewhat more spacious. It's very easy to find the location. The waiting area is cozy and comfortable. Since there's no insurance coverage, the high cost is a major drawback. These days, dental implants have become very cheap due to competition, and dental insurance is good... But it seems that braces aren't covered by dental insurance, and with little competition, the prices are quite high. Although Changboon Dental Clinic is one of the leading orthodontic clinics in Suwon, I wish the costs were a bit lower. It's quite a burden financially... haha. I recommend getting treatment on weekday mornings or right after lunchtime rather than on weekends.

View moreThe scope of dental implant insurance is smaller than I thought...ㅠㅠㅠ[8]
Do you know the extent of dental implant coverage under medical insurance?! I recently found myself in a situation where I need dental implants, so I looked into the scope of coverage under dental insurance. First of all, there is an age limit for dental implant coverage under medical insurance. It applies only if you are over 65 years old. https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/4105 If dental implants aren't covered by health insurance, I think you can just take advantage of the promotional price. :) If dental implant insurance applies, you only have to pay 30% of the amount. Implants are available not only for front teeth and molars, but also for full-body implants. However, dental implant insurance is only applicable up to two implants in a lifetime. Still, it's a bit of a shame that it only applies to up to two times in a lifetime. If you get implants, you end up getting two or more, you know... haha Still, I guess it's better than nothing that they're doing at least two... hehehehe

Medical insurance implant coverage conditions[5]
- Age requirement - You must be 65 years or older and have had your birthday to be eligible. You can receive support anywhere in the country, and each person can receive up to two supports in their lifetime. There is a principle that only one type of restoration, the PFM crown, should be used for the shape of the upper teeth. - If it is made to connect with Zicronia/gold/dentures instead of PFM crowns, it will be excluded from insurance coverage. You must finish at the place where you initially started, and you cannot change dentists midway because you are not satisfied. - The criteria for villains are based on distinguishing between the upper jaw/lower jaw, upper jaw/lower jaw, and aiming to implant natural teeth in the areas covered by insurance. You must stay. (If there are no natural teeth at all or if all need to be extracted, we cannot accept the case.) - However, even if it is not a natural tooth, you can receive it if there is an implant structure. - In other words, support is available if it is possible to create a form that can be chewed by inserting two implants above or below. The conditions for receiving dental insurance coverage for implants seem to be quite strict.
이현진23.07.23Views 99Likes 1 [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.

View more[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 [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!

이정호 원장26.06.30Views 78Likes 4 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment.

이현섭 원장26.06.24Views 175Likes 2 [Health Column] Why a Good Implant Clinic Can Even Improve Wrinkles Around the Mouth[5]
Hello! I am the Chief Director of Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic. Kim Hyung-seok no see. "Doctor, ever since I lost my tooth, I feel like my face has suddenly aged a lot... 😢" This is one of the common concerns that patients visiting our dental clinic cautiously bring up while looking in the mirror. It is truly heartbreaking whenever I see them upset about how I am not the same as I used to be, going beyond simply finding it difficult to chew food. In fact, if you leave missing teeth untreated for a long time, the strength supporting your lips disappears, causing the corners of your mouth to sink in and your chin to gradually move closer to your nose. This is not just a matter of feeling, but determines the overall height of our face Because the 'occlusion' has collapsed That's what it is! If you have been concerned about drastic facial changes and wrinkles after tooth loss, see how implant treatment can heal your precious smile and Improvement of wrinkles around the mouth Please make sure to read this post to the end to see if I can help you! 1️⃣ Why does a collapsed 'occlusal height' accelerate facial aging? 🔸 Teeth are the strongest pillars supporting the height of the lower part of the face. In medical terms, the vertical distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin when we close our mouths tightly. occlusal height It is called. Teeth not only function to chew food, but as it turns out, they play a very important role as pillars that maintain a constant height of the lower part of our face. 💡 Facial changes that occur when teeth are lost ▶ Collapse of the pillar: If several teeth are lost or severely worn down, the height of this pillar decreases, causing the entire face to sink downward. ▶ Wrinkle deepening: When the height decreases like this, the muscles around the lips lose elasticity and curl inward. As a result, the philtrum appears longer, and the nasolabial folds become much deeper and more pronounced. ▶ Loss of dimensionality: Teeth act as a support point that holds up the lip and cheek muscles from the inside; as this support disappears, the soft tissues sag rapidly, causing even the three-dimensionality of the face to vanish. 📌 A word of advice from the director The facial changes I thought were simply wrinkles caused by a loss of skin elasticity were actually due to lost teeth Because the basic structure of the face has changed This may be a result of what has appeared. Therefore, dental treatment is necessary to address the underlying cause. 2️⃣ How is the precise prosthetic design that restores facial balance carried out? 🔸 The skeletal characteristics and muscle relaxation points, which differ for each patient, must be analyzed in three dimensions. To naturally restore the facial impression altered after tooth loss, a customized prosthetic design that considers each patient's unique skeletal characteristics is of the utmost importance. This is because the height at which people feel most comfortable in their mouths varies from person to person, and the point where facial muscles naturally relax also differs. ⚠️ Avoid simply adjusting the height: You should not adjust the height based solely on mechanical measurements. You must precisely analyze the trajectory of the jaw joint's movement and the tension of the surrounding muscles in three dimensions. ✨ Achieve a natural mouth shape: Only by undergoing this process can you ensure that your jaw joint remains unstrained over time. Furthermore, it allows you to maintain a soft and natural impression without your mouth feeling awkwardly stiff when smiling or speaking. 🔎 Fine angle adjustment: If the procedure is performed without considering individual characteristics, you may be able to chew food functionally, but it can look very awkward. Therefore, it is essential to finely adjust the thickness and angle so that the prosthesis properly supports the lip and cheek muscles. 3️⃣ Why does a prosthodontist's perspective determine the aesthetic perfection? 🔸 It comprehensively predicts everything from the invisible movements of the jaw joint to the visible facial proportions.

It requires the insight to accurately predict, based on data, how the patient's overall facial proportions will change once the final prosthesis is in place. The role of a prosthodontist is even more critical, especially for those who have lost multiple teeth. Even a single very minute height error can affect the entire This is because occlusal balance can be disrupted all at once. no see. Only when accompanied by precision that comprehensively considers everything from the minute, invisible movements of the jaw joint to the visible facial proportions, You can expect satisfactory results in both function and appearance. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions Q1.
