class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">When several teeth need to be treated with implants, it matters not only how long treatment takes<br>but also how many times you have to visit the clinic.<br>In particular, when a patient comes from a region other than Busan, many people wonder what the schedule will be for the surgery, temporary teeth and final prosthesis<br>and how it will all proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Today I will introduce a case of a man in his 50s who came from Ulsan to Busan,<br>who had full-arch implant treatment using a digital guide,<br>and had temporary teeth connected after we checked the conditions on the day of surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">He has continued regular check-ups about every 6 months since treatment was completed,<br>and most recently, on July 9, 2026, he came in again and had a panoramic X-ray taken<br>to check his progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

already missing.<br>We did not decide on extracting the remaining front teeth unconditionally either; through a clinical examination and<br>X-rays, we checked the periodontal tissue, the alveolar bone, the condition of the remaining teeth,<br>and the possibility of restoring them in the future.<br>The results showed that it would be difficult to keep the remaining teeth for the long term in this patient,<br>so after discussing treatment options with him, we planned full-arch implant treatment for both the upper and lower jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

important to confirm clinically during the actual surgery as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"424\"

wp-block-paragraph\">The patient was coming from another region, but after discussing the extent of surgery and so on,<br>we decided to divide the upper and lower jaw surgeries into two sessions.<br>We applied the surgical guide at the planned positions and placed the implants.<br>For the lower jaw, according to the original record, surgery was performed without a separate extensive gum incision,<br>and sutures were placed where the existing front teeth had been extracted.<br>However, using a digital guide does not mean that every patient<br>can have surgery performed this way.<br>Depending on whether extraction or bone grafting is needed and on the condition of the alveolar bone and gums, incisions and sutures<br>may be needed, and the surgical method differs from patient to patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Panoramic X-ray at the last regular check-up on July 9, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec-8\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"color:#0b9b3f;font-size:1.15rem\">We continue regular check-ups every 6 months even after treatment ended.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">In full-arch implant treatment, making the final prosthesis is not the only thing that matters.<br>Implants themselves do not get cavities like natural teeth, but inflammation can develop in the tissue around implants,<br>and with long-term use, changes can occur in the prosthesis<br>and the bite as well.<br>In particular, for a fixed prosthesis using multiple implants,<br>hygiene care around the prosthesis and regular check-ups are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">This patient has also been receiving regular check-ups at Smile Digital Dental Clinic about every 6 months since the full-arch implant treatment ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The patient lives in Ulsan, but even after treatment was finished<br>he continues to attend regular check-ups.<br>On July 9, 2026, he again visited Smile Digital Dental Clinic, had a panoramic X-ray taken,<br>and we checked the condition of the implants, the prosthesis and the surrounding tissue again.<br>On this panoramic X-ray as well, we checked the current condition of the multiple implants placed in the upper and lower jaws and the connected prosthesis,<br>and carried out the regular check-up while comparing with previous examination data.<br>Because the condition of implants cannot be judged from a single panoramic X-ray alone,<br>in actual regular check-ups it is important to check together the discomfort the patient feels,<br>the clinical examination, the oral hygiene condition and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec-9\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"color:#0b9b3f;font-size:1.15rem\">When having full-arch implants in another region, reducing the number of visits is not the only goal.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Because this patient came from Ulsan to Busan, we also considered his visit schedule<br>when making the treatment plan.<br>But traveling from far away should not make visiting as few times as possible the goal of treatment itself.<br>Necessary examinations, post-surgery checks, temporary prosthesis adjustments and the final prosthesis process<br>must be carried out to suit the patient's condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">This patient's course was as follows:<br>first visit and detailed examination \u2192 CT and intraoral scan \u2192 digital implant planning \u2192 surgical guide fabrication<br>\u2192 implant surgery divided between the upper and lower jaws \u2192 same-day temporary teeth after checking conditions<br>\u2192 healing period and progress checks \u2192 final prosthesis after about 6 months \u2192 regular check-ups about every 6 months afterward<br>\u2192 most recent check-up on July 9, 2026<br>this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning full-arch implants, rather than simply how many visits are needed,<br>which teeth can be kept and where the implants will be placed,<br>whether conditions allow same-day temporary teeth, and how it will be managed after the final prosthesis,<br>it is important to check the whole treatment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The photos of the treatment process and before and after treatment in this case are posted with the patient's consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment methods and results of implant treatment vary from person to person. Depending on the amount and quality of bone, the condition of the remaining teeth and periodontal tissue, systemic diseases and medications, and smoking, extraction, bone grafting or additional treatment may be needed. Whether temporary teeth can be applied on the day of surgery and the overall treatment period can also vary depending on the initial stability of the implants, the bone condition, the placement positions and the bite. Inflammation of the tissue around the implants or prosthesis-related problems can occur even after treatment, so regular check-ups and care are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center
