[Medical Today = Reporter Kim Jun-su] Dental loss is not just a matter of a smile, it can cause discomfort when speaking or chewing food, and it can be a factor of loss of confidence. This problem can be solved with advances in modern medicine and technology, and implant treatment is recognized as an innovative treatment method to completely relieve the discomfort caused by tooth loss.

Implants are one of the dental treatment methods that replace teeth, and refer to the treatment process of fixing artificial teeth to the jawbone divided into the maxillary and mandibular bones. This artificial tooth provides a similar appearance and function to the patient's natural teeth, minimizing changes in smile or functional discomfort caused by tooth loss. Implants are recognized as a very useful treatment method, especially for patients who want to relieve discomfort caused by tooth loss and restore confidence.

One of the many factors determining the success of implant therapy is the experience of the medical staff, who, without sufficient experience, are not only unable to cope with unexpected situations that may arise during implant surgery or treatment, but are also difficult to establish proper planning and access to achieve the best results.

Therefore, when considering implant treatment, the experience and expertise of the medical staff should be carefully considered. If the medical staff has sufficient and reliable experience, the patient can effectively relieve the inconvenience caused by tooth loss and regain confidence.

Recently, treatment is being performed using digital guide implants. This can be performed with small incision, so side effects such as bleeding, swelling, and pain can be minimized. In addition, the digital guide system can be used to plan the treatment process before surgery, thereby increasing the accuracy and stability of treatment.

Advances in these technologies have enabled implant treatments to be performed more efficiently and stably. This digital guide implant technology has opened up the possibility of treatment even for patients with chronic diseases. Thus, patients not only experience less discomfort in the treatment process, but also expect faster and more effective treatment results.

When choosing a dental clinic, you should carefully check whether you have the equipment to accurately grasp your condition, whether you can provide digital guides, and the clinical skills of the medical staff, said Park Hyun-min, head of the Lucid Dental Clinic in Seoul. "These factors directly affect the effectiveness and stability of treatment, and greatly affect patient satisfaction and treatment results. Therefore, it is very important to consider and confirm these matters carefully before receiving dental treatment," he stressed.
