From tooth extraction to a
new tooth all in one day,
The elderly and diabetic
patients can to.
A patient named Wang who has diabetes
with hypertension wore a partial denture
because he just had 4 upper teeth.
Unfortunately he couldn’t use the denture
as his remaining 4 teeth had broken off.
He needed dental implants right away
but he hesitated due to its long treatment
period. In the meantime, he was heard
about the one day dental implants and
visited S-PLANT Dental Hospital.
He took a 3D CT scanning on the day
he visited and a week later the remaining
4 teeth were extracted and 10 dental
implants were placed. After that, Immediate
Dental Implant which custom abutments and
artificial teeth are placed was performed.
The surgery took just 2 hours under
sedation and the pain after surgery was
absent due to pain pain medication into
his body. Needless to say, he finally can eat
white rice instead of porridge.
Dental implant surgery, finished it up
in a day with virtual 3D model
Dental implants usually take one year to
function normally after procedure.
A dental implant could be placed
in 2 to 4 months to rebuild the jawbone
in the site after a tooth extraction and
then the surgical site would require
an additional 3 to 6 months.
Even after that, it takes 1 to 2 months for
abutment placement with the crown on top.
This is why busy middle-aged adults or
elderly people who can’t chew food easily
hesitate to get dental implants.
However, Immediate Dental Implant
completes new teeth in one day.
With the dental implant guide system which
helps check proper location for implant
placement and with surgical simulation,
the risk of blood vessels and nerve damage
can be reduced within 5 mm incision or
without incision.
Dr. SOHN said, “The surgical time cut by
half because a dental implant is placed into
the designated site along with a guide
system. It takes only 2 hours to complete
putting the crown on top after
multiplacement.
The conventional implant surgery needs to
make over 10mm incision to examine
intraoral condition with the naked eye,
which causes severe bleeding.
If adequate bone density exits, Immediate
Dental Implant entirely completed in
one day is available. This is a picture
where Dr. SOHN is conducting an Immediate
Dental Implant.
Safe and painless treatment for elderly
people and patients with chronic
diseases
Immediate Dental Implant is safe for
those who are weak elderly people and
patients with chronic diseases since
it has less gum damage and bleeding and
short treatment time.
S-PLANT Dental Hospital
Dr. Sang-Hyun BAIK said,
“Elderly people spend more than double
for healing process than young people.
Immediate Dental Implant would help
minimize surgical damage.”
This is a reason why patients with
chronic diseases like a patient named
Wang don’t feel pressured.
Though patients with heart diseases
should stop taking anticoagulant before
5 to 7 days from the surgery and
the operation may not be available in case
of higher amounts of glycated hemoglobin
(HbA1c above 7.5%).
The surgery is seldom painful.
If the surgery time is extended, it is usually
done under sedation. Even after surgery,
medication is injected into the body
to reduce pain. S-PLANT Dental Hospital
Dr.Hyun-Ki ROH said,
“Pain intensifies within 24 hours after
the operation, but still medication is used to
treat the symptom of pain.”
Plus Dr. ROH added, “There is a residing
anesthesiologist in our hospital for safe
anesthesia procedure. We minimize even
small pain by applying topical anesthesia
gel before local anesthesia.”
Precise diagnostic of bone quantity…
An experienced dentist is important…
There are some concerns over safety
due to the short treatment time.
S-PLANT Dental Hospital
Dr. Jeong-Taek LEE said,
“If the supporting bone is undamaged,
a dental implant could be placed with
the remaining bone. In some cases,
bone grafting is necessary due to an
inadequate quantity of bone.”
In order to correctly evaluate the bone,
surgeon’s skillful medical experience is
essential. When it comes to implant
placement immediately after dental
extraction, it needs experienced
technologies of a dentist.
S-PLANT Dental Hospital has been
the first of Korea since we introduced
Immediate Dental Implant with 3D guide
system in 2008. All medical staff who are
in charge of dental implant procedure have
treated successfully over 2,000 cases
and hold PhD degrees from
Seoul National University.
