What is dental implant like

Everyone should brush their teeth and rinse their mouth in the morning, evening and after meals to keep their mouth clean. Otherwise, the food they eat will not be able to completely enter the stomach and will remain on the teeth, which may cause bacteria to grow. Over time, it will damage people's teeth. After the teeth are corroded by bacteria, they will rot, and rotten teeth need to be treated with dental implants. So what exactly are implanted teeth like?

The specific steps of traditional dental implants:

first step:

Conduct an oral examination: This step is very important and you must answer truthfully. First, the doctor will ask some questions about the patient's physical condition, such as whether the patient has systemic diseases, high blood pressure (sugar), whether the patient has been taking blood-related medications for a long time, etc. After the consultation, the doctor also needs to evaluate the patient's bone quality and bone mass to consider whether the patient is suitable for dental implants. This operation is done by taking a CT scan. If the bone mass is sufficient and the physical condition allows, surgery can basically be performed directly, but if the bone mass is insufficient, bone grafting will be required. After comprehensive consideration, the doctor will give the best surgical plan.

Step 2: Surgery

First, the doctor will give you anesthesia, and then insert the implant. Next, you need to confirm the repair method, which includes immediate repair and delayed repair. In order to ensure the integration of the implant and the alveolar bone, we mostly use delayed restoration methods, which is to insert a cover screw (buried type) or a healing cap (which can help the gums to shape so that the abutment can be inserted later). If the patient has good bone quality and has high aesthetic requirements, immediate restoration can be performed, that is, the abutment can be directly placed, a temporary crown can be made to make it look real, and finally a permanent restoration can be replaced.

Different from traditional restoration methods, due to the complexity of the intraoral anatomical structure and the complexity of the blood vessels and nerves inside the alveolar bone, many doctors now choose to use digital guides for implantation. The advantages of digital guides over traditional implantation are: minimally invasive, reduced postoperative pain, and increased accuracy and predictability of implantation.
