Dental Implant is an excellent method for damaged teeth, bone atrophy, and missing teeth. So, how is it performed, and is it a solution for beautiful and healthy teeth?
What is Dental Implant?
Simply put, Dental Implant is a method of restoring or replacing damaged or lost teeth. The doctor will place an implant material (titanium screw) into the jawbone area where the tooth needs replacement.
After the titanium screw is inserted, the surrounding bone will gradually fuse with it, helping the implant to be fixed in place. At this point, the implant will act as the tooth root for the new tooth. After attaching the artificial crown to the implant abutment, it will be no different from a real tooth.
Excellent Benefits of Dental Implant Surgery
Dental Implant surgery offers many excellent benefits, considered an advanced dental solution for beautiful and healthy teeth. Let’s explore some of the wonderful advantages of this unique dental method right away.
1. Aesthetics
Dental Implant is a perfect replacement method for missing teeth, helping you restore a natural smile like real teeth. Along with high-quality, shiny implant materials, it provides high aesthetics.
2. Durability and Stability
Dental Implants are made of Titanium – a high-grade biomedical material that integrates tightly with the jawbone, creating durability like real teeth. With an average lifespan of up to 20 – 30 years, it can even last a lifetime – if well and carefully cared for.
3. Improved Chewing Function
After Dental Implant surgery, you will be able to chew and bite food easily like real teeth, completely restoring your eating function. This not only improves the digestive system but also enhances overall health.
4. Prevents Bone Loss
An excellent benefit of Dental Implant surgery is that it helps prevent bone loss, maintaining jawbone density. Thanks to this, the facial structure is preserved, maintaining your youthful appearance.
5. Increased Confidence and Quality of Life
Cases where implants should and should not be used
Dental implants are a great solution to restore your original beautiful teeth, but not all cases should be done. Below we have compiled the cases that should and should not be done, please pay attention.
| WHEN SHOULD IMPLANTATION BE USED? | CASES WHEN IMPLANTATION SHOULD NOT BE USED |
| – People who want to get dentures but want to preserve and avoid jaw bone loss in the area where teeth are lost.– People who have lost teeth want to have them fixed but do not want to grind down their real teeth. – People who have lost many teeth, even all their teeth, but do not want to use removable dentures. – People who have lost teeth but the remaining teeth are not healthy enough to act as bridge pillars. | – Children and people under 18 years old because their bones are still growing.– People who smoke regularly – Had maxillofacial radiation therapy – People with poorly controlled diabetes – People with gum disease (periodontitis) that has not been completely treated. |
Dental Implant Procedure
The Dental Implant procedure involves two stages: the first is the placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone, and after a period of time, the new tooth will be attached to the implant abutment. The specific steps are usually performed sequentially as follows:
Step 1: Examination and Consultation
During the consultation, the dentist will answer the customer’s questions about the dental implant procedure. You will then undergo an X-ray or CT scan, and your oral health status will be determined. Based on these results, the dentist will decide if you are a suitable candidate for Dental Implant treatment.
Step 2: Preparation for Dental Implant Placement
Before the implant placement, the dentist may perform additional treatments for the customer, such as extracting damaged teeth or bone grafting to ensure sufficient bone for implant placement.
Step 3: Implant Placement
Your oral cavity will be completely anesthetized to avoid any pain. The dentist will then make an incision in the gums, drill a small, precisely sized hole in the jawbone, and then insert the titanium implant screw into the drilled hole. Once placed, the implant will act as the root for the new tooth.
After the implant placement, you usually have to wait several months for the implant screw and jawbone to fully integrate.
Step 4: Attaching the New Tooth
Technicians will fabricate a new tooth that precisely matches the shape, size, and color of the surrounding teeth. After several months when the implant has integrated with the jawbone, the dentist will attach this artificial crown to the implant abutment, completing the replacement of the new tooth.
Step 5: Regular Follow-up Examinations
After successful Dental Implant placement, the dentist will schedule regular follow-up examinations to ensure that the bone and gums around the implant area have healed well and there are no complications. You need to adhere to the care instructions given by the doctor to ensure the oral cavity recovers quickly and maintain the long-term aesthetic results.
