A firsthand look at the dental implant surgery scene: is the miraculous dental implant really painless?

It's like having a tooth pulled: local anesthesia is used, the trauma is small, you can eat right after surgery, and there is almost no pain.

I believe friends who want to learn about dental implants

have long been used to hearing this saying

But some "strong-willed" friends

simply refuse to (zhong) be (kou) lieve (wei) it

and stubbornly insist that "implanting" a tooth means drilling a hole in the jawbone

How could it not be a mouth full of blood and horror? ╮(~▽~")╭

I have no choice but to take you straight to the [dental implant] surgery scene

to see this [minor alveolar surgery] with your own eyes

01 Anesthesia & Disinfection

There's no need to describe this process in detail

Disinfection and anesthesia are of course the essential first step of surgery

A thin needle, and biu~ it's over in a flash

02 Preparing the Hole

As you've heard, an implant naturally needs a hole first

Through a minimally invasive approach, a small incision is made in the jawbone

Then a [dental implant machine] is used to prepare a hole in the alveolar bone

Because anesthesia has been given, the entire process below is painless!

03 Placing the Implant

Now that the hole is dug, the next step is naturally implantation

The [implant] is placed into the alveolar bone

This bionic tooth root can quickly fuse with the alveolar bone

04 Installing the Abutment

An [abutment] is installed on top of the [implant]

The [abutment] is what connects the [implant] and the [crown]

05 Installing the Crown

Once the [temporary crown] is put on, the surgery is complete!

Dental implants require installing a [temporary crown] first

After impressions are taken and the denture is made, it is then replaced

Replacing the [crown] is not surgery!

No anesthesia is needed: the temporary one is removed and the permanent one is put on

Done!

There is almost no pain after dental implant surgery

On the same day, you can carefully eat some home-style meals using the other side of your teeth!
