Dental Implants

A dental implant is a structure that replaces a missing tooth. With screw-like devices, the surgeon inserts an implant into the jawbone, acting as an anchor for an artificial tooth called a crown.

The benefits of dental implants:

Safe for the body

Implant posts are made from Titanium with porcelain crowns that have been tested to be completely safe and benign and do not cause any danger or allergy to the body.

Restoration of tooth function

Thanks to Titanium material, which is highly biocompatible in the oral environment, the Implant post, when placed in the jawbone after some time, will ensure regular operation, preventing bone loss or gum recession. From there, not only chewing function but also aesthetic or pronunciation problems will be restored, like natural teeth.

No effect on natural teeth

Implant implantation is only performed in the correct position of the missing tooth, so it will not affect the adjacent natural teeth.

Durable for a long time

Compared with other methods of denture implantation, which only has a lifespan of 5-10 years if taken care of carefully, an implant can last up to 20 years and even a lifetime if cared for.

Process of implant

Dental Implant needs to follow the correct process to ensure the quality and results of the implant after the end.

General examination
The doctor will examine your gums, teeth, and general health to advise solutions to overcome dental problems, if any.
Check the dental condition
The doctor will conduct a CT scan to check the jawbone's height, width, and porosity. The doctor will plan the treatment and choose the appropriate implant size from the results obtained. Besides, the doctor will advise whether you need to perform a bone graft before implanting the implant.
Oral hygiene and anesthesia
Before administering anesthesia to reduce pain, the doctor will perform oral hygiene steps such as scaling teeth to ensure that the oral cavity is completely clean of bacteria, avoiding the risk of infection before and after placing the abutment.
Extraction of teeth or bone graft (if necessary)
If the tooth is damaged beyond repair, the tooth will be extracted first. With long-term tooth loss that may cause bone loss, the doctor will perform a bone graft. However, it will not be possible to implant immediately, but it must wait a while. The waiting time for a bone graft is 4-6 months, and tooth extraction is two months.

Implant post
Implant surgery is performed in a strictly sterile environment to avoid infection, and the implant will be completed in about 30-60 minutes.
Waiting for the implant to integrate with the jawbone
The time it takes for the implant to integrate with the jaw bone is about 3-6 months, depending on the location of each person. During that period, the doctor will make an appointment for the patient to return for regular check-ups after one week, one month, three months, etc.
Take impressions of porcelain teeth
The doctor will conduct a second film to check the implant's stability. If the abutment has been integrated stably, the doctor will take an impression of the tooth to make a porcelain tooth.
Attach porcelain teeth
The doctor will install the abutment and fix the porcelain teeth on the previously implanted implant post.
Periodic re-examination
After completing the implant process, the doctor will make an appointment for a regular check-up every six months to check and promptly fix problems that may occur when using implant teeth.

How Do You Care for Dental Implants?

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups.
