One-Day Implants

A. Implants are entirely possible even when no teeth remain, that is, in an edentulous mouth. The approach, however, differs from a regular implant. The key to full-arch implants is that they are not “a treatment that places one tooth” but “a treatment that redesigns the entire structure.”
When all teeth are missing, the goal is not simply to place many implants. What matters is how efficiently the biting force is distributed and how stable a structure can be built. That is why overall planning, from the number and position of implants to the prosthetic structure, is so important for full-arch implants.

A. To prevent problems that a lack of alveolar bone can cause, such as damage to the implant or loss of the tooth’s natural function, areas where the gum bone is insufficient need to be filled with graft material that has the same properties as human bone.
Bone graft material not only fills in missing bone during implant treatment but also plays an important role in inducing new bone formation, so it is a procedure that helps you use healthy teeth for a long time.

A. Everyone feels pain differently, but because the procedure is done under anesthesia, you will feel very little. Some pain may continue after the anesthesia wears off, but taking the prescribed medication as directed and applying ice packs can reduce swelling and pain.
If you follow the aftercare instructions we give you, there is no need to worry.

A. A sinus lift is performed when there is not enough gum bone height to place an implant in the upper molar area.
It carefully lifts the floor of the maxillary sinus to secure bone space that can support the implant, with the aim of placing the implant more stably.
Whether you need a sinus lift is decided after checking the gum bone height and sinus position on a CT scan; it is not performed on every implant patient.

A. As long as blood pressure is well controlled, it is possible at most dental clinics without difficulty.
Before treatment, however, it is important to discuss your current medications and overall health thoroughly with the dentist and plan accordingly.
Operating while blood pressure is high can increase bleeding and the strain on the cardiovascular system. If you check that the clinic can monitor blood pressure in real time before and during implant surgery and has a system for collaborative care with other specialists, patients with high blood pressure can also receive implant treatment safely.
