I do not know if you have this concept, but many people think dental implants are a dental treatment only for older adults, yet in fact it is only because most people with missing teeth are middle-aged and older adults, so a lot of advertising and general knowledge outreach is aimed at this group. In fact, dental implants are suitable for adults.

What factors should be considered before implantation?

1. If a tooth is extracted before implantation, perform the dental implant surgery as much as possible 3 months later.

2. If there is obvious inflammation of the oral soft tissues, perform the dental implant surgery only after it has been cured.

3. Because dental implants are relatively expensive and there is a failure rate of about 5%, the patient should think it through carefully before surgery.

4. People with diseases such as tuberculosis, diabetes, blood diseases, heart disease and high blood pressure should tell the doctor about their condition before surgery, and the doctor will judge whether surgery is suitable.

What is the principle of dental implants?

Dental implants are also called artificial dental implants. They do not really plant natural teeth. Instead, through a medical method, pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bone is precisely designed and made into a cylinder or other shape similar to a tooth root, and implanted into the alveolar bone of the missing tooth area through a minor surgical procedure. After 1 to 3 months, once the artificial tooth root has tightly integrated with the alveolar bone, a crown is then made on the artificial tooth root. Dental implants can achieve a restorative effect very similar to the function, structure and appearance of natural teeth, and have become the first-choice restoration method for more and more patients with missing teeth. Because it is not destructive, dental implants have been recognized by the oral medical field as the first-choice restoration method for missing teeth.

Suitable candidates for dental implants

1. Missing individual teeth, with a normal implant bed in the missing tooth area

2. Missing multiple teeth, reducing the burden on the abutment teeth at both ends of the missing tooth space

3. Missing teeth at free ends, unable to bear the load of a denture base

4. Missing all teeth, suitable for full-coverage or full-fixed implant treatment

5. Jawbone defects, where implant restoration can complete functional reconstruction and morphological recovery

6. People who experience nausea and vomiting reactions with removable dentures due to physiological or psychological reasons

How long can dental implants last?

There are currently two types of implants: one domestic and one imported. As for the domestic type, Xiaobei's place does not currently use it, so let us talk about imported materials from Switzerland and Germany. The key issue related to the durability of dental implants still depends on the doctor's skill and later maintenance, and most people use them for life.

Summary: In summary, getting dental implants is done because the dental condition requires it, not because of age. In addition, a small hard advertisement here: Xiaobei's place now offers insurance reimbursement for dental implants, and interested friends can ask for details~
