Flapless Implants
In brief
Flapless implants are placed at the planned position without cutting the gum, based on 3D CT diagnosis.
Implant diagnosis uses a 3D high-resolution CT (VATECH), and the plan is made by Dr. Ahn Jin-gyu — a specialist in integrated dentistry with a Ph.D. in orthodontics — taking the remaining teeth and the bite into account.
