The most detailed process of implant teeth, it turns out that the implant teeth are "planted" in this way.

Dental implant is recognized as the first choice to repair missing teeth in the field of stomatology. However, due to the influence of multiple factors such as region, cognition, concept and so on, some people do not understand or even reject dental implants. Some people think that children can also do dental implants.

So, how does an implant tooth "take root" in a person's mouth and eventually be used? The following is a detailed explanation of the whole process of implanting a tooth.

Implant tooth

Step 1: before planting

General health check-up:

Before dental implant surgery, the doctor needs to know the patient's health. Blood tests, blood routines, blood sugar tests and blood pressure measurements are usually required. If there is no serious abnormality of liver and kidney function, acute inflammation, hypertension, diabetes or heart disease can be planted as long as it is controlled within the normal range.

Draw blood for examination

Oral examination:

The doctor will also check the local condition of the patient's oral cavity, first of all to see if the patient has enough alveolar bone.

Secondly, looking at the health of the gums, many people's gums become soft and no longer dense after missing teeth, which is not conducive to dental implants.

Third, in orthodontic treatment, if the patient has severe tooth tilt or displacement, the inclined tooth should also be righted.

Fourth, there are serious periodontal diseases, such as bleeding, loosening, abscess, apicitis and so on, which need to be treated first.

Note: doctors often do not operate easily for patients with poor compliance, love of smoking and serious alcoholism.

Oral examination

Determine the planting plan:

Before the dental implant operation begins, the oral CT is photographed, and the speed, depth and angle of the implant are precisely designed by CAD\ CAM scheme, and the doctor can carry out the implant operation.

Step 2: planting

Put into the implant:

Usually, dental implant surgery requires only local anesthesia, and the patient stays awake during the operation. The more conventional surgical method is to cut the gums, then drill a suitable hole in the alveolar bone, and then put the matching implant into it.

Now, through the accurate implantation of 3D visual guide plate, there is no need to turn the flap (no incision) to plant teeth, the whole process is visible, can effectively avoid vascular and nerve injury, less trauma, no need to remove stitches, one step in place.

Design and make dental crowns:

After the implant is implanted, the doctor will design the crown according to the space of the missing teeth and the color of the remaining teeth, and give it to the dental technician to make the crown, which can only be worn after 3-6 months. Due to the long process of missing teeth, it is difficult to meet the needs of patients, and the emergence of accurate "immediate use" technology makes it possible to carry weight immediately after implant surgery, wear crowns on the same day, and eat easily.

Pull out and plant the third step: after planting

Oral condition maintenance:

After planting teeth, can you do it once and for all? If you want to extend the life of dental implants, then the maintenance of oral health is very important. Peri-implant inflammation is the main cause of implant failure. Therefore, you should maintain good hygiene habits after dental implants, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and gargle after meals. If there is food blockage around the implant teeth, it is best to use dental floss or dental irrigator. It is recommended to go to the hospital for dental cleaning for half a year to one year.
