Why are dental implants so expensive?

Hippopotamus dentist, talk about those dental problems ~ remember that the hippopotamus sent a video, the comment area below was bombed, talking about the profiteering of dentistry! Hippopotamus also said that it is very helpless, ah, dental implants are expensive, this is indeed a fact.

Today we are going to talk about why dental implants are so expensive.

Dental implant materials are very expensive. A person's tooth, especially the posterior tooth, carries a weight of 20 to 30 kilograms, but the root of the implant is only 4 millimeters in diameter on average, because Chinese jaws are only suitable for growing 4 millimeters, but they have to bear a bite force of 20 to 30 kilograms. And it takes decades to bite thousands of times a day. In addition, dental implants also have to resist infection and acid-alkali corrosion in the mouth. Therefore, from the design concept, material selection, precision machining, surface treatment, its scientific and technological content requirements are very high. Therefore, at present, most of the domestic planting systems are imported from abroad, which leads to high cost.

The cost of growing teeth also lies in the skill. Even if there is such a good material, but to plant a dental implant well, make the patient comfortable, the trauma will not be particularly great, and can exercise normal function, can be used for decades, good material is not enough, more importantly, very good clinical training.

Generally speaking, a person will not enter this professional field until he or she has studied medicine for at least ten years. Only in this way will it be possible to ensure standardization, professionalism, and clinical long-term success rate and stability in terms of qualification and technology. only in this way can the quality of many advanced technologies such as immediate implantation and immediate repair be guaranteed.

Thus it can be seen that the manpower and material costs behind this are also very high.
