Dental implants have a chewing force almost equal to that of natural teeth, can restore both appearance and function, and allow people to fully enjoy good food and life. Therefore, they are called the best restoration solution for missing teeth. So, what is the dental implant process like?

Below, Dr. Shi from Bayer Dental shares the tooth implant process with everyone, to relieve your fear of dental implants caused by not understanding them. Now let's invite the dental implant experts from Bayer Dental to give a detailed explanation for everyone.

[Dental Implant Steps]

1. First, a panoramic dental X-ray, jawbone CT, etc. must be done. This is to check the specific condition of the oral cavity, whether there is inflammation, alveolar bone resorption, and other such conditions. Then, the doctor will ask the patient about their overall medical history, and may need to check blood routine, bleeding and clotting time, blood pressure, blood sugar, the 5 hepatitis B tests, and pulse, etc. Only after the doctor confirms that the patient's physical condition can accept surgery will they diagnose the mold and designate a dental implant plan. (The first visit takes about 1 hour or more);

2. The dental implant surgery officially begins. A hole is prepared in the alveolar bone, an artificial implant is inserted, and the dental bone bed is tightly sutured. The stitches can be removed after about one week. (This visit takes about 2.5 to 3 months);

3. Wait for the osseointegration period. (The length of this time varies from person to person and from implant system to implant system. For some people and some dental implant systems it takes 2 to 3 months; for others it requires more than half a year);

4. Install the healing abutment. Make the implant pass through the gums. Wait for the soft tissue to take shape;

5. After about 2 to 3 weeks, once the soft tissue has taken shape, the dental implant doctor will replace the healing abutment with a permanent abutment;

6. Wear the dental implant;

7. After everything is completed, go to the hospital for regular checkups twice a year.

[Dental Implant Timeline]

1. From implanting the tooth root to completing the restoration, the time needed for a dental implant depends on the patient's alveolar bone condition and cannot be generalized.

2. If the patient's alveolar bone volume is normal and both the depth and width meet the conditions required for a dental implant, Bayer Dental experts say that in this case the patient can complete it in about 2.5 to 3 months.

3. If the patient has been missing teeth for a relatively long time and the alveolar bone resorption is quite severe, then bone grafting is needed. This takes about 3 to 4 months or more.

4. The specific time required for a dental implant varies from person to person. It depends on the dental implant plan and schedule designated by the doctor.
