6 steps to see the whole process of dental implant

Now many friends are no stranger to dental implants, but they still do not understand the principle of dental implants and the process of dental implants. Let's take a look at it with you.

1. Oral examination

First, the necessary oral examination, auxiliary radiographic examination and systemic biochemical index examination were carried out. This is mainly to understand whether there is alveolar bone resorption and resorption in the edentulous area, the remaining bone mass and bone mineral density, whether there is chronic inflammation, and rule out systemic contraindications.

2. Implant surgery

It needs to be done under strict sterilization conditions. After anesthesia, the mucoperiosteum of the edentulous area was cut, the alveolar bone was exposed, and the cavity was prepared step by step on the alveolar bone of the corresponding part of the missing tooth, and the implant was implanted. Those who need bone graft can be grafted at the same time, close suture incision, about 10 days to remove stitches.

3. Waiting for osseointegration period

The osseointegration was examined every 1-2 months after implantation, and the osseointegration was observed by radiography. Zhang Qiang said that the length of the osseointegration period varies from person to person, implant system, and bone condition, usually 3 to 6 months, and a small number of patients with poor bone condition need to wait for more than half a year.

4. Install the healing abutment

The abutment is an auxiliary device for the implant in dental restoration. after the implant is implanted, the abutment will be attached to the implant for a long time. Li Jiang said that this step is to extend the abutment to the outside of the gums to form the part that runs through the gums, which is used to fix dentures and other corrections (restorations). Then, wait for the soft tissue to form. This process takes 2-3 weeks.

5. Take the mold

The model was used to make implant denture. After the gingival tissue around the implant healed for 6-8 weeks, the healing abutment was removed, the transfer rod was installed, and the impression was taken to make the upper crown.

6. Wear implant crowns

The crowns of fixed implant dentures can be divided into two types: all-ceramic and porcelain. According to the product brand and its biological and mechanical properties, there are many kinds of different prices for consumers to choose.

The above is the treatment process of most dental implants at present, which usually takes as long as half a year. However, some advanced dental implant techniques will be much faster, such as the current emerging Yangchengkou Fuda Action "separate" dental implant technology, which can plant a tooth in 3 minutes, and can be used on the same day, which is greatly shortened. And the operation is minimally invasive, painless, comfortable and convenient.
