Gum treatment before implants is a critical step for patients with periodontal disease or gum inflammation. At APlus Dental Clinic in Seoul, pre-implant gum treatment is carefully performed to create a healthy foundation for successful and long-lasting dental implants, especially for both local and international patients.

Why Gum Treatment Is Necessary Before Implants

Healthy gums and supporting bone are essential for implant stability. APlus Dental Clinic evaluates and treats gum conditions before implant placement to reduce the risk of implant failure.

  • Prevention of infection around future implants
  • Improvement of bone and gum health
  • Creation of a stable environment for osseointegration

Skipping gum treatment can compromise implant success.

Comprehensive Gum Evaluation and Diagnosis

Before implant planning, APlus Dental Clinic conducts a detailed periodontal assessment.

  • Examination of gum inflammation and bleeding
  • Measurement of periodontal pocket depth
  • 3D CT imaging to evaluate bone loss
  • Identification of active infection or chronic gum disease

This thorough diagnosis determines the scope of required gum treatment.

Types of Gum Treatment Before Implants

Gum treatment is customized based on disease severity and overall oral health.

  • Professional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
  • Non-surgical periodontal therapy
  • Gum infection control and inflammation reduction
  • Surgical gum treatment in advanced cases

Treatment aims to stabilize gum health before implant surgery begins.

Advanced Techniques for Periodontal Stability

APlus Dental Clinic uses modern techniques to support effective gum treatment and faster recovery.

  • Precision instruments for deep cleaning
  • Minimally invasive periodontal procedures
  • Careful monitoring of healing progress

These techniques help restore gum health while minimizing patient discomfort.

Personalized Implant Readiness Planning

After gum treatment, APlus Dental Clinic reassesses oral conditions before proceeding with implants.

  • Confirmation of infection control
  • Evaluation of gum healing and bone stability
  • Adjustment of implant timeline if necessary

Implants are placed only when gum health is sufficiently stabilized.

Suitable for International Patients

APlus Dental Clinic frequently treats international patients who require gum treatment prior to implant placement.

  • Clear explanations of treatment stages in English
  • Transparent timelines for gum healing and implant placement
  • Efficient scheduling for overseas visits
  • Guidance for maintaining gum health after returning home

This structured approach helps international patients plan treatment effectively.

  • Have a history of periodontal disease
  • Experience gum bleeding, swelling, or recession
