What are the differences between imported and domestic dental implants?

Shao Ge the old dentist, let's talk about oral problems~Nowadays, going to the hospital to treat a missing tooth is really not easy, and you also have to consider whether to get a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown or a dental implant, and even the material properties differ. In particular, dental implants are divided into domestic and imported types. Like a screw acting as a tooth root driven into the alveolar socket, so what is the difference between imported and domestic dental implants?

Besides the price difference, imported dental implant systems are relatively more mature than domestic ones,and are superior in terms of quality, stable in technology and able to adapt to various tooth-loss situations. Most importantly, it still depends on your bone condition. Some patients have poor bone quality, and the implant cannot tightly integrate with the alveolar bone, causing loosening and affecting the success rate of implant restoration. These patients are suitable for imported dental implants. In addition, patients with normal bone quality can choose domestic dental implants, though the treatment time will be somewhat longer.

How long after tooth extraction can a dental implant be placed?

1. Previously, after tooth extraction, a dental implant could not be placed immediately! Because the alveolar socket wound heals until it grows flat, it takes about 3~6 months, and traditional implant restoration is relatively time-consuming.

2. Now with immediate implant placement, implant insertion plus temporary crown restoration may be completed within 1 day, but not everyone can have immediate implant placement. It must be done on the premise of meeting the indications, and the bone condition must be suitable. In this way, while reducing the number of surgeries, the implant effect is no different from traditional implant placement.

So are imported dental implant systems reliable?

Of course they are reliable. Although the performance of dental implants from each country is different, you must choose a suitable dental implant system based on X-rays.

1. Generally, immediate implant placement can use the German implant system. The implant is similar to a real tooth root, and the narrowed root will not damage surrounding tissues. It can also avoid causing gingivitis, the surgical wound is small and safety is high, and the implant integrates more tightly with the alveolar bone.

2. If your financial capacity is limited, give priority to the Korean implant system with the best cost-effectiveness, such as a cylindrical tooth root implanted into the alveolar socket. It takes 4~6 months to integrate with the alveolar bone, and the retention rate is also quite high, but regular maintenance is required once every six months.

Whether it is an imported dental implant or a domestic dental implant, cleaning and maintenance are indispensable after surgery. The pictures look a bit scary, but in fact some dental implant surgeries have already achieved minimally invasive implantation.
