Do you know about dental implants? Are you still bothered by missing teeth? 1. 1 Dental implants are the new dental health revolution for human beings in the 21st century. Since 1965, millions of implants have been used worldwide every year to solve the pain of missing teeth for patients. After more than 40 years of clinical application, dental implants have developed from a technology into a discipline and gradually become the preferred method of restoration after tooth loss. 2. Dental implant process: a. Oral examination, X-ray or CT, assessment of general condition, treatment plan design. b. Implant placement, a delicate minor surgery that is less painful than tooth extraction. Osseointegration takes about three to six months. c. Attachment of the implant superstructure and connection of the abutment to the implant. d. A new crown is placed and a permanent porcelain crown is fixed to the abutment. 3. Advantages of Dental Implants: Dental implants are substrate free, beautiful, comfortable and do not damage adjacent teeth. They are close to natural teeth, cost-effective, and suitable for long-term restoration. They can also be used for fixed restorations for patients without teeth, artificially generating a set of teeth, which is known as the third tooth of human beings. 4. Do dental implants hurt? Good anesthesia techniques and good post-operative care measures can minimize the patient’s discomfort. The incision will heal in about 7 days. During the healing period, it is necessary to pay attention to the timely cleaning of the incision area and avoid chewing hard objects. Many patients feel that the discomfort of the implant placement procedure is a little less than that of a tooth extraction.
