TAPDONG IMPLANT

Implant Consultation in Tap-dong What Gets Decided in Your 30-Minute First Visit

Look at the images, hear the measurements, receive an item-by-item estimate. You can decide at home.

Why Diagnosis Matters

The first visit ends with an exam and an explanation

A first implant visit at Yeonhap Dental Clinic in Tap-dong usually takes 30 minutes from check-in to the estimate. We check the bone at the site and the remaining teeth with a 3D CBCT and Q-ray, look at the measurements together on screen, and then give you the sequence, the period, and an item-by-item estimate. We do not recommend same-day treatment, and it is fine to have only the exam and decide on treatment later. Two Integrated Dentistry specialists see patients, and we also see patients on Monday evenings and Saturdays.

Consultation Checklist

What we check at your first consultation

During the 30 minutes of your first visit, we check and explain the five points below.

  • On the 3D CBCT, the bone thickness and height at the planned site, and the position of the nerve canal and maxillary sinus
  • With the Q-ray, whether the remaining teeth have cavities or cracks. Whether to treat the tooth next to the implant first
  • The number of missing teeth and the prosthetic method: one, several, or a whole jaw
  • The anesthesia method: an explanation of the 4 steps of gargle, ointment, automated anesthesia device, and palatal pressure
  • Whether you are eligible for coverage, and the item-by-item estimate. We do not give an estimate with only a total

These Three Things Come Out Within 30 Minutes

The diagnostic images, an explanation of anesthesia, and an item-by-item estimate. This is what you take away from your first visit.

Diagnosis you can see in images

We look at the 3D CBCT and the Q-ray fluorescence photo together. The Q-ray shows early cavities and cracks that cannot be seen by eye as fluorescence, and we use it to decide whether to save the tooth next to the implant first.

4-step anesthesia

Gargle anesthesia first numbs the mucosa, ointment anesthesia is added, the automated anesthesia device delivers at a steady rate, and for the palate we add pressure anesthesia. On the first day, we explain the order to those who are afraid of injections.

Item-by-item estimate

The three items of fixture, abutment, and crown are the basis, and a bone graft or sinus lift adds a line only when the CBCT shows it is needed. Covered and non-covered items are written separately so you can see what costs how much.

Planning Points

What Comes Next

At a site without a sinus lift, it is 3–6 months to the final prosthesis. After placement, we check every 6 months, and parking in three places around the Cham Clinic Building makes it easy to come and go.

From placement to the final prosthesis

For an implant, the fixture is placed, we wait for the period of bone bonding, and then the abutment and crown are attached. At a site without a sinus lift, we expect 3–6 months to the final prosthesis; at a sinus lift site, we wait 5 months for new bone to settle, for 6–7 months.

Why we don't recommend treatment on the first day

What worries patients most about implants is sitting there without knowing how much they will need to pay, and the injection. So the first day ends with looking at the images together and receiving an item-by-item estimate, and we divide anesthesia into steps starting with a gargle. After confirming on the CBCT screen which items are added and why, you can decide at home. At the first visit, Yeonhap Dental Clinic only does the exam and explanation, and the decision is yours. Treatment results may vary by individual oral condition. The three things to look at before a consultation are in What to check before an implant consultation in Tap-dong, how to reduce pain through anesthesia and surgical design in Implant Pain Consultation in Suwon, and Q-ray diagnosis in Q-ray precision diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is the implant placed on the very first day?
No. Yeonhap Dental Clinic ends the first visit with a 3D CBCT and Q-ray exam, an explanation, and an item-by-item estimate. We do not recommend same-day treatment, and you can make your decision at home. Even when extraction and placement are done on the same day, you first hear that plan and the date is set separately.
Q. I'm afraid of injections. How is the anesthesia done?
Anesthesia is divided into four steps: gargle anesthesia, ointment anesthesia, an automated anesthesia device, and palatal pressure anesthesia. The anesthetic is delivered at a steady rate to reduce the stinging feeling, and if it hurts during surgery, just say so right away.
Q. Where do I park?
You can park in three places: near the entrance of the Cham Clinic Building, at the side, and in the first-floor spaces of the studio apartment building behind. You can find us using Suwon NongHyup and Asan Tap Internal Medicine as reference points.
Q. Can I get a consultation on Saturdays or in the evening?
