Shindang-dong Dental Clinic: Implants for Seniors and Patients with Systemic Diseases

Shindang-dong Dental Clinic: Implants for Seniors and Patients with Systemic Diseases

Teeth, which appear hard and strong to the eye, are surprisingly vulnerable to impact, easily cracking or fracturing. They can also be lost due to aging, disease, or accidents. When teeth are lost or need to be extracted for various reasons, it is crucial to seek appropriate treatment at Shindang-dong Dental Clinic, as failure to do so can lead to other health problems.

If a tooth is lost or extracted and not addressed, it can lead to difficulties with mastication, the most basic function of teeth. When food is not properly chewed and reaches the digestive organs, it can strain them, leading to secondary problems such as gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and obesity.

Furthermore, the empty space created between teeth that once supported each other can cause misalignment of the dental arch. The opposing tooth may also shift downwards due to the lack of an opposing bite. Continuously chewing food with misaligned teeth can lead to maxillofacial problems such as temporomandibular joint disorders or facial asymmetry.

Especially over time, the alveolar bone in the area where a tooth is missing gradually gets absorbed into the body and diminishes. If gaps form in the gums, oral bacteria can spread throughout the body via these gaps and blood vessels, increasing the risk of cerebrovascular or cardiovascular diseases, thus requiring careful attention.

To prevent the various problems that can arise from losing natural teeth, it is important to visit Shindang-dong Dental Clinic quickly to replace the lost natural tooth.

In the past, if a natural tooth was lost, Shindang-dong Dental Clinic primarily offered bridge or denture treatments. However, recently, an increasing number of people are seeking implant treatment, which has rapidly become widespread.

Unlike bridge treatment, which involves attaching a prosthetic tooth to adjacent teeth like a bridge, or denture treatment, which involves covering the gums with a full dental arch model, Shindang-dong Dental Clinic's implant treatment involves surgically placing an artificial root into the jawbone where the tooth is missing, and then attaching a prosthetic tooth on top of it.

Because an artificial root is implanted, the fixation is superior to bridge or denture treatments. This allows for chewing ability that is 70% or more of natural teeth. Furthermore, it is aesthetically very similar to natural teeth, and both individual and full arch implants are possible, making it a highly versatile treatment method.

However, implants are a more complex treatment than other general dental procedures. Therefore, rather than simply choosing a Shindang-dong Dental Clinic based on cost, it is crucial to carefully consider whether the clinic has precise diagnostic equipment to thoroughly examine the patient's oral condition, whether it can perform implant procedures tailored to the patient, and whether the medical staff performing the treatment are specialists with extensive clinical experience in implants.

At Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Shindang-dong, we help patients regain lost teeth through navigation implants. This method involves pre-confirming the implant placement path, reducing the burden on seniors who are sensitive to pain and find long implant treatment periods challenging, as well as those suffering from systemic diseases and busy office workers.

Navigation implant refers to a method where the patient's oral structure is identified using precise diagnostic equipment such as 3D CT and 3D oral scanners, which can confirm the patient's tooth structure and shape, as well as the dental nerves hidden within the gums that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Based on this data, a 3D virtual simulation surgery is performed to pre-determine the implant placement path and position, create a guide, and then perform the actual implant placement following this data.

Because the implant material is placed following a guide created by identifying even the dental nerves that are not visible to the naked eye, Shindang-dong Dental Clinic's navigation implants can reduce the error range of implant material placement compared to general implant procedures. Furthermore, it involves less gum incision, which reduces pain and speeds up recovery. These advantages make it suitable for seniors, patients with systemic diseases, and busy office workers, allowing them to undergo treatment with less burden.

At Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Shindang-dong, we offer not only 3D navigation implants with these various advantages but also a range of complex implant treatments such as immediate implants after extraction and bone graft implants. The chief director, a specialist in integrated dentistry certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, directly provides 1:1 personalized care from consultation and diagnosis to treatment planning, execution, and aftercare.

Furthermore, at Shindang-dong Dental Clinic, treatment does not end immediately after implant placement. We provide aftercare to help the implant material settle stably, and we issue a 5-year implant warranty to ensure that implants can be used semi-permanently through consistent management.

In addition to implant treatment, Barunyoung Dental Clinic in Shindang-dong offers various dental services including cavity treatment, root canal treatment, wisdom tooth extraction, periodontal disease treatment, and aesthetic treatment. For all treatment procedures, we strive to explain thoroughly until the patient understands, even if it takes a long time, to avoid unnecessary treatments.
