Maintaining good oral health is essential for a happy daily life.

At Yonsei JW Dental, our implant specialist (prosthodontist) Dr. Ahn has plenty of clinical experiences, offering fully integrated care. Feel free to contact us for a personalized consultation.
Don’t Delay Your Implant Treatment
Postponing implant treatment can lead to several complications:
- Shifting Teeth – The empty space may cause your teeth to shift and misalign.
- Chewing and Speech Issues – Missing teeth can reduce chewing ability and impact speech.
- Bone Loss and Facial Changes – Neglecting missing teeth can lead to bone resorption and facial collapse.
- Aesthetic Concerns – Gaps in your smile can affect your appearance and confidence.
That’s why timely treatment is essential to prevent more complex and costly procedures later.
What Is a Dental Implant?
Most people have heard of dental implants, but not everyone understands how they work. While it’s not necessary for patients to know every detail, having a basic understanding of the structure can help you feel more confident about the procedure.
A dental implant is a procedure that replaces a missing tooth by placing an artificial root (implant fixture) into the jawbone and attaching a prosthetic crown to restore both function and appearance. Implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates well with the body and mimics the function of natural tooth roots.
Components of a Dental Implant:
- Implant Fixture – The artificial root inserted into the jawbone.
- Abutment – The connector between the fixture and the crown.
- Crown – The visible part of the artificial tooth, often made from ceramic or metal, designed to match natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance & Function: They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- No Harm to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t affect neighboring healthy teeth.
- Prevents Bone Loss: They help preserve jawbone density by stimulating the bone like a natural tooth root.
Bone Grafting for Gum Disease
In cases of severe gum disease, the supporting bone may deteriorate. If the bone is insufficient to support an implant, bone grafting may be necessary. After reducing inflammation, we graft bone tissue to ensure a strong foundation for the implant.
