When is dental implantation necessary?
Dental implants help you regain a confident smile.
Severely damaged teeth
When one or more teeth are missing, the teeth can no longer withstand normal biting forces, affecting chewing function or appearance, or even causing severe decay, cracking, or injury.
Long-term periodontitis
Long-term periodontal disease can lead to loose or missing teeth, loss of chewing ability, weakened teeth, and even the spread of infection to other parts of the body.
Dental bridges or dentures are not suitable
Dentures can be uncomfortable and don't look or feel like natural teeth. Dental bridges, on the other hand, require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth, and cleaning underneath can be more difficult.
Tooth cracks and trauma
Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can all cause teeth to crack. If the crack extends deep into the root, it cannot be restored by repair or root canal treatment.

Dental implants involve surgically inserting titanium metal into the alveolar bone to support the prosthetic tooth, and then attaching an artificial crown to the implant. They closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function, replacing damaged or missing teeth and restoring chewing ability.

Losing teeth doesn't necessarily require dental implants, but long-term tooth loss can affect oral health and overall health, often leading to chewing difficulties, unclear speech, tooth displacement, changes in facial structure, and alveolar bone loss. Dentists usually recommend timely repair to avoid these problems.
Many people believe that once they get dental implants, they can rest easy. However, dental implants are actually more accurately described as a "semi-permanent" solution. Both implants and dentures require regular maintenance and checkups, just like natural teeth. Only through regular professional checkups, coupled with proper daily care and usage habits, can dental implants function stably and sustainably in the long term.
Dental implant surgery typically takes 60-90 minutes. If bone grafting is not required during the procedure, it usually takes only 4-6 months to complete. However, if local bone grafting is necessary due to insufficient bone volume, the procedure may take longer. If you have periodontal disease, it will need to be treated before implant surgery. The duration of periodontal disease treatment depends on the severity of the patient's condition.
Since anesthesia is administered before dental implantation, the surgery itself is generally painless. The main pain comes from the anesthetic injection and in the days following the wear off. The pain typically peaks around 48 to 72 hours after the procedure, significantly decreases after about a week, and usually disappears within two weeks.
Computer-guided dental implants utilize computer-aided design and manufacturing systems. Through 3D scanning, dentists can understand the patient's oral condition and the precise location and depth of the implant before surgery. Computer-guided implants provide each patient with a custom-made surgical navigator, guiding the dentist to place the customized, permanent all-ceramic crown or bridge implant into the patient's jawbone. By combining computer navigation with the dentist's clinical experience, the aim is to improve the accuracy of implant placement.
Post-operative care includes maintaining oral hygiene. When brushing your teeth, be careful to avoid directly touching the surgical area and use mouthwash provided by your dentist to assist with cleaning. In addition, patients may need to take antibiotics to prevent infection, as advised by their dentist. Regular follow-up appointments are also very important, as they help the dentist continuously monitor the healing progress of the implant and ensure the overall treatment proceeds smoothly.
Immediate implant placement significantly shortens the overall treatment time compared to traditional implants. Patients no longer need to wait months after tooth extraction to have implants done, as it can be completed in a single surgery, reducing the number of visits. Due to the simplified surgical procedure, postoperative discomfort is also relatively reduced, and recovery time is shorter. In addition, this technique allows for immediate implant placement after tooth extraction, which helps stabilize the alveolar bone, effectively reducing the risk of bone loss and achieving the effect of protecting bone.
