I have received many questions from patients about dental implants, for example, are dental implants suitable for everyone? How much time is needed for dental implants in general, etc. Then I will briefly tell you about the two major processes of dental implant treatment! Step 1: The doctor will ask the patient’s medical history and health condition, and do the necessary general examination and comprehensive oral examination, such as taking oral panoramic X-ray, checking blood routine, etc., to understand the oral condition, especially the bone quality and bone quantity in the missing tooth area, in order to determine whether it is suitable for surgery, and then develop a treatment plan. After the plan is determined, the first stage of surgery is performed in the outpatient operating room, where an implant equivalent to a tooth root is placed in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth. This surgery is about the same size as a tooth extraction and does not usually interfere with normal eating and living. The next step is to enter the bone healing period and wait for the second surgery. The healing period is usually 6 months in the upper jaw and 3 to 4 months in the lower jaw. Step 2: After 3 to 6 months, the implant forms an osseointegration in the jawbone and it is time for the second surgery. This involves making a small incision in the gum opposite the implant placement under local anesthesia to expose the upper end of the implant and install the healing abutment. This time the procedure is much smaller and the incision is usually wound without sutures. Once the soft tissue cuff is formed, the surgeon replaces the healing abutment with a permanent abutment. The implant restoration is then completed by taking a mold, making and placing a porcelain crown. Of course, the above mentioned is the general treatment procedure, but there are cases where only one stage of surgery is required, and there are cases where immediate implantation can be done at the time of extraction. Dental implant treatment is a very specialized work, here I remind all patients to choose a professional and regular hospital for dental implant treatment.
