Dental implant

The biggest step of dental implant technology is a very successful technology published by Dr. Branemark at the University of Toronto many years ago. Since then, artificial dental implant has changed the traditional clinical treatment of missing teeth. Taiwan began to introduce dental implant technology more than 20 years ago. For many years, after the long clinical experience of dental implant doctors, coupled with the improvement of dental implant technology and instruments and equipment, the dental implant related technology of Shining Dental Clinic is quite mature, and it is often the main choice for the clinical treatment of missing teeth.
Artificial tooth implantation is to plant an artificial root in the place where the tooth is missing after the tooth is extracted. The artificial root is made of titanium metal. Titanium alloy is used because titanium alloy has good compatibility with human bone. If it is implanted into the bone, the bone will not reject it as a foreign thing.
Generally, bone integration can be achieved in the lower jaw for three months and the upper jaw for four months. In other words, it is to grow together with the bone, and then connect the denture. Unlike the traditional denture treatment, pulling out one requires three, sacrificing the teeth next door.

In addition to avoiding the helplessness of grinding adjacent good teeth, artificial tooth implantation also has its own root, so the bite force is increased, and the accelerated loss of bone in the missing tooth area can be avoided.

【Advantages of artificial dental implant】

In the past, when making dentures, it was necessary to grind off the healthy teeth on the left and right sides to make the dentures join smoothly, but now artificial tooth implantation does not need to do so. This is why tooth implantation has become the main treatment for missing teeth.

If patients with a large number of missing teeth can be made into fixed dentures by artificial tooth implantation, and then there is no need to wear movable dentures; However, for patients with a small number of missing teeth, artificial dental implants can also be used to support movable dentures, providing better stability and chewing power than traditional movable dentures.

In the past, after tooth extraction, alveolar bone lost the effective support of tooth root and began to shrink soon. For a long time, the face will have a sunken old look. However, the use of artificial dental implant can effectively reduce the atrophy of alveolar bone, and there is no need to worry about the problem of aging caused by missing teeth, and there is no need to go to plastic surgery because of missing teeth.

When there are no teeth in the whole mouth, artificial roots can be used to make fixed movable dentures with more bite force; Of course, it can also be made into full mouth fixed dentures.

In the past, when wearing braces, there was a sense of foreign bodies near the gums. However, artificial teeth are almost 100% imitation of real teeth, so the sense of foreign body is almost zero.

【What kind of people can accept artificial tooth implantation?】

There is no serious cardiovascular disease, uncontrollable diabetes, or uncontrollable blood diseases. After the doctor has assessed the condition of the body, dental implant can be accepted.

You need to inform your implant doctor in advance.

the bone condition in the dental implant area needs to be evaluated by X-ray image. If your bone condition is poor, you can consider bone filling (bone material can be divided into synthetic bone or autologous bone), improving maxillary sinus, expanding bone, etc. to improve the dental implant conditions. At the same time, considering the course of treatment and the budget of dental implant, choose the dental implant method and dental implant plan suitable for you.

the technology of dental implant has changed with each passing day. New instruments and technologies can shorten the treatment time and the number of return visits, reduce the swelling and pain in the oral cavity, and have a higher success rate.

【The procedure of dental implant operation?】

Step one

The dentist will implant the titanium root into the alveolar bone to replace the lost tooth, and then suture the tooth flesh. If the tooth bed foundation is good, the artificial root will heal and connect with the alveolar bone after two to four months to form the pillar of the denture.

Step two

The next step is to install the healing cap and insert the base on the titanium root so that the denture can be installed in the future. In some cases, the dentist may insert the base at the first operation.
