Why Digital Implants Help After Losing Your Teeth 2025.05.27

Reporter Shin Chang-ho / Article Approval: 2024-11-18 15:13:01




[Medical Today = Reporter Shin Chang-ho] Teeth have a great influence on our health and appearance. In the past, when we lost our teeth, it was common to use dentures or bridges to replace them. However, these methods had inconvenience and difficulty in maintenance, and it was difficult to feel like natural teeth. With the emergence of implants in such situations, many people have new hope.


Implants are a treatment in which the roots of artificial teeth are implanted in the jawbone and the artificial teeth are placed on top of it. This process first incisions the gums, then the artificial tooth roots are implanted in the jawbone, and then goes through a healing period of several months. After that, artificial teeth can be attached to restore natural functions and smiles. Implants have become a method favored by many people, especially because they provide functions and appearances similar to natural teeth.


But not everyone can get an implant. People with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes may have difficulty getting an implant. This is because these patients have a high risk of postoperative complications or delayed healing. So, the medical staff should carefully evaluate these cases.

Digital implants emerged in this situation. Digital implants utilize cutting-edge technology to enable more precise and stable procedures. This procedure accurately identifies the patient's oral structure through 3D scanning and designs implants using a computer to perform the procedure. This process is more precise than conventional methods and can shorten the treatment period.


There are several advantages of digital implants. First, the procedure is performed with high accuracy, reducing the risk of side effects or complications. Second, the recovery time after the procedure is shortened, so that the patient can quickly return to daily life. Third, the function and smile appear more naturally because the implant can be planted in the appropriate location.



Park Hyun-min, CEO of Lucid Dental Clinic in Seoul, said, "If you are considering implantation, it is important to closely monitor your health and teeth conditions. For this, you need a skilled specialist who can provide appropriate treatment. If you carefully examine the clinical experience and know-how of the medical staff who are planting when choosing a dental clinic, you will get better results."
