Preoperative Basics You Need to Know About Installment Payments for Dental Implants

Recently, a hot article circulating online is about how dental implant prices are too high, and most patients cannot afford the expensive price, so clinics, in response to these reasons, have introduced the Golden Eggplant installment payment method. What I mainly want to talk about today is some basic knowledge you need to understand before dental implant surgery, because this knowledge can help patients undergo dental implant surgery.

1. Beforehand, an removable denture should be made for the missing tooth, and it is best to wear it for more than 1 month, so that during the several months from the first-stage surgery to the second-stage surgery (before the implant denture is installed), chewing and appearance will not be affected;

2. If there has been tooth extraction or gum surgery, you should wait until 3 months later, after the bone defect has recovered and x-rays show that the alveolar bone quality and morphology are satisfactory, before considering dental implants;

3. Before surgery, oral hygiene should be maintained, and teeth should be cleaned in advance and oral inflammation, diseases, etc. cured;

4. Implant surgery is generally performed in an outpatient operating room, and after surgery the patient can go home to rest, or may be hospitalized; during hospitalization, daily life can be managed independently, and generally no companion is needed;

5. It is best to bring the previously used denture and photos from before the tooth loss for the restorative dentist's reference, so that the implant denture made will be more natural and realistic in tooth arrangement and color;

6. When undergoing dental implant surgery, you should ensure that your health is good. Have routine blood tests; for patients with mild hypertension, blood pressure should return to normal; women should avoid the menstrual period.

Knowledge Extension

Oral experts point out that after decades of clinical practice, implant dentures have become a mature implant restoration treatment method, with prices generally above 7000. But many patients question why dental implants are so expensive? The main reasons are:

1. Strict restrictions on implant denture materials: the processing technology of implants is complex and requires extreme precision. At present, well-known implant systems in the world have a wide variety of implants and accessories, used to meet different restoration design needs, so the cost is very high;

2. Carrying out implant technology clinically requires higher-level equipment and environment, such as large X-ray diagnostic equipment, clinical surgical equipment, technician equipment, surgical support equipment (ECG monitoring, blood count analysis, etc.), as well as some unique and relatively expensive restorative materials needed when making dentures;

3. Implant dentures are completed jointly by a team composed of specially trained implant surgeons, implant restorative dentists, implant technicians and corresponding assistants, and the personnel cost required is relatively large.

The above three main reasons have already explained in great detail why dental implants are expensive. However, if patients cannot accept the one-time cost for the time being, they might as well choose the Golden Eggplant installment plan in the clinic. As long as you pay a 10% down payment, the clinic can help you undergo dental implant surgery.
