Uijeongbu Implant Process, from Diagnosis to Aftercare
If you are wondering about the implant process and timeline in Uijeongbu, an implant is not a procedure that finishes in one sitting but a step-by-step treatment running from diagnosis to placement, osseointegration, prosthetics, and regular care. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital (181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station) carries out everything from CT diagnosis by an oral & maxillofacial radiology specialist to regular check-ups in one place.
What are the stages of implant treatment?
An implant generally proceeds in the order of (1) detailed diagnosis (CT and intraoral scan), (2) first surgery (placing the artificial tooth root in the jawbone), (3) confirming osseointegration and healing, (4) second surgery (connecting the custom abutment), (5) fitting the final artificial tooth, and (6) regular care. Between each stage, time is needed for the gums and bone to heal and for the artificial tooth root to bond firmly with the bone.
The overall period is known to be around 3 to 6 months, but it varies with the condition of the jawbone. It may lengthen where bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, or because the upper jaw (maxilla) tends to take longer to achieve osseointegration than the lower jaw (mandible). At the diagnosis stage we explain the expected period for your case.
Because each stage requires a scheduled visit, accessibility from home or work affects how you manage your schedule. We are a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hoeryong Station, have 100 ground parking spaces, and run a night clinic until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and see patients until 15:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, which makes it easier for working patients to continue through the stages.
The expected period and stages for your case are explained after CT diagnosis. · 181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, Main Building 2F · Phone +82 31-855-7528 · 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station Exit 2.
Frequently asked questions
- Q. How long does the whole implant treatment take?
- It is generally known to take around 3 to 6 months from diagnosis to the final prosthesis. However, where the jawbone is insufficient and bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, or where placement is in the upper jaw, osseointegration takes longer and the period may lengthen. The expected period is explained case by case after CT diagnosis.
- Q. Do I get a tooth on the day of surgery?
- Depending on the case, a temporary tooth is sometimes fitted on the day of placement, but this does not apply to every patient. Whether it is possible varies with the firmness of the jawbone (initial stability) and the placement site, so at diagnosis we explain which approach is available to you.
- Q. Does each stage hurt a lot?
- Placement surgery is carried out under local anesthesia, and it is known that there may be swelling or discomfort for a few days afterwards. If pain is a particular concern, we discuss sedation options and pain-management methods with you during consultation. The degree of recovery may differ from person to person.
- Q. Implant treatment is long — does my doctor change partway through?
- An implant proceeds in stages over several months, from diagnosis through placement and prosthetics, and at Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital it is our principle that the same clinical team stays responsible for a patient throughout. Where the strengths of the oral & maxillofacial radiology, oral & maxillofacial surgery, and prosthodontics specialists are needed at the diagnosis, placement, and prosthetic stages we collaborate, but records and diagnostic data are shared in one place as treatment continues, which reduces the burden of repeating the same explanation or the same examination at every stage. It is known that treatment continuing without interruption helps the accuracy of the implant and its aftercare. Which specialist handles which stage is explained during the treatment-plan consultation.
