The way an implant in Seomyeon is carried out depends on each patient, so please treat this as general guidance.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common questions from people researching implants near Seomyeon Station, Busan is how \u201cguided surgery\u201d and \u201csame-day restoration\u201d actually work in practice. Here are the questions we hear most often at Smile Digital Dental Clinic.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does 3D Guided Implant Surgery Work?<\/h2>\n<p>We start with a 3D CT scan to precisely check the condition of the jawbone and the position of the nerves. Using this data, we plan the exact position, angle, and depth for each implant in a computer simulation, then produce a personalized surgical guide that reflects this plan exactly. During surgery, this guide is used to place each implant precisely at the planned position.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-345\" src=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2-300x213.webp\" alt=\"\uc11c\uba74 \uc784\ud50c\ub780\ud2b8 \u00b7 \" width=\"489\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2-1024x726.webp 1024w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-minimal-incision-compare-v2.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How Is Same-Day Restoration (One-Day Implants) Possible?<\/h2>\n<p>Smile Digital Dental Clinic has used CAD\/CAM technology since 2010, designing and producing restorations in-house directly from intraoral scan data, without the traditional silicone impressions and plaster models. Because this entire process happens in-house, there's no time lost sending work out to an external lab and waiting for it to come back \u2014 so depending on the patient's oral condition, the restoration can sometimes be completed on the same day as implant placement, or within one to two days. You can find more detail on this process on our <a href=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/en\/seomyeon-implant\/\">Seomyeon implant guide page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-53\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room-300x218.webp\" alt=\"Design screen and milling equipment in our milling room\" width=\"384\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room-300x218.webp 300w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room-1024x744.webp 1024w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room-768x558.webp 768w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room-1536x1116.webp 1536w, https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sdc-milling-room.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Is Same-Day Restoration Possible for Every Patient?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether same-day restoration is possible depends on several factors specific to the patient. These include the thickness, length, and density of the jawbone, whether there's any inflammation, and whether the implant site is a front tooth or a molar. When initial stability isn't sufficient, we may complete only the surgery on the first day, with the temporary and final restoration following once the bone has stabilized over time. Whether same-day treatment is right for you can only be confirmed through a 3D CT scan and consultation. For same-day cases involving natural-tooth restorations rather than implants, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/en\/oneday-crown\/\">same-day crown \/ one-day restoration page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What is different about a same-day prosthesis for implants in Seomyeon?<\/h2>\n<p>In Seomyeon, a same-day prosthesis for implants means preparing a temporary tooth on the day of placement, which can help shorten the period without teeth during treatment. However, whether it is possible depends on how firmly the implant is fixed and whether there is enough bone, and we judge this at the implant consultation in Seomyeon based on your CT results. The same approach is not applied to every patient.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I care for my implant in Seomyeon after treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>Regular check-ups and gum care remain important after an implant is placed. We guide you on brushing and flossing, and if anything feels wrong, please contact us beforehand regardless of your schedule. Implant lifespan and condition vary by individual depending on how well it is maintained.<\/p>\n<p>For general information about implant treatment, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kda.or.kr\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Korean Dental Association<\/a>\u00a0website as well.<\/p>\n<h2>About Smile Digital Dental Clinic<\/h2>\n<p>Smile Digital Dental Clinic first opened in Busan Seomyeon in 2008, and has been practicing near Seomyeon Station (19 Saessak-ro, 9th floor) since 2018.

If you have X-rays or treatment records from a previous clinic, you are welcome to bring them. At your first visit we take intraoral photos and check the condition of your bone on CT, then explain the possible treatment methods and the advantages and disadvantages of each. We do not recommend treatment that is not needed, and you may decide after thinking it over carefully.<\/p>\n<h2>How does recovery go after guided surgery?<\/h2>\n<p>Because guided surgery places the implant at the planned position, the gums may not need to be opened widely in some cases, but swelling or discomfort can still occur after surgery. It is best to take the prescribed medication as directed and to avoid hard food so you do not irritate the surgical site. After a set period we check progress and remove stitches if they were needed. The speed of recovery may differ depending on your oral condition, so we explain it individually at your visit.<\/p>\n<h2>How are the cost and duration explained?<\/h2>\n<p>The cost and duration of implants depend on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed and the prosthetic method, so it is hard to give exact figures by phone or message alone. We explain them together with the treatment plan after the examination. For why costs differ between clinics, please refer to our <a href=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/en\/implant-price-difference\/\">implant price differences post<\/a>\u00a0for details.<\/p>\n<p>For the whole process from implant planning and guide fabrication to placement, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/smiledigitaldc.com\/en\/digital-implant\/\">digital implant page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small>This post is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee the effect or outcome of any specific procedure.
