How many rumors have you believed about dental implants?

Tooth loss is a common oral disease, especially in the middle-aged and elderly people, there are often single tooth loss, multiple tooth loss and even half-mouth and whole-mouth tooth loss. However, it should be noted that if the missing teeth are not inserted for a long time, it will not only have a serious impact on appearance, but also damage oral health, resulting in periodontitis, dental caries, tooth skew, large interdental space and so on.

Nowadays, dental implants are recognized by the medical community as the first choice for the repair of missing teeth, which is naturally beautiful, durable and nearly real teeth, and is referred to as "the third pair of human teeth". However, many people have misunderstandings about it. Today, the editor is here to crack these rumors for you.

Rumor one: dental implant surgery must be very painful!

Unlike porcelain teeth, which rely on adjacent teeth for retention, nor do removable dentures require clasp and base fixation, it is originally identified as two parts of implants and crowns. First, the implants are implanted into the alveolar bone, and after the implants are closely combined with the alveolar bones, the abutment and crown are installed to complete the implant restoration. Implant teeth are similar to real teeth and have their own artificial roots, so they are very strong.

However, precisely because the implant is to be implanted into the alveolar bone, many people will feel that the operation must be very painful. Now, experts tell you, this idea is wrong!

Many people think that dental implant is a terrible major operation, even if there is a practical need to try. In fact, with the development of medical technology, dental implant is only a minor operation, the patient will be anesthetized during the operation, and there will be no feeling during the operation. At the same time, it is now developed to minimally invasive operation, with less postoperative bleeding, less swelling and pain, and even less pain and trauma than tooth extraction. However, the operation process of the implant operation is precise, and the technical requirements of the doctor are very high. So, by the way, doctors with poor skills, even if they give you minimally invasive operations, there will be a lot of adverse reactions in the future. The key is to choose regular hospitals and professional doctors.

Rumor 2: should every implant be planted after the loss of complete teeth?

Many people do not pay attention to oral hygiene and do not pay much attention to dental inlay, so they do not regret it until they have lost all their teeth. If you want to be toothless but want to make implants, do you want to plant all 28 lost teeth in your mouth?

Of course it's impossible! The whole mouth is toothless, and because there is no place for retention, porcelain teeth can not be repaired directly. And the use of removable dentures, directly covering the gums will also bring a certain degree of discomfort. At this time, as long as a small amount of implants are planted on the alveolar bone to form a "bridge pier", and then porcelain teeth or movable dentures are installed on the "bridge pier", the function can be performed firmly and freely.

Rumor 3: dental implants for the elderly are of little significance.

This statement is actually wrong. In fact, it is more meaningful for the elderly to make dental implants. The phenomenon of tooth loss is very common in the elderly, and most of them have multiple or total loss of teeth. Excessive number of missing teeth will lead to a sharp decline in tooth masticatory function, seriously affect daily diet and life, do great damage to digestive tract and gastrointestinal health, and even threaten the whole body health.

The common way of restoration in the elderly-removable dentures have poor retention, easy to loosen and fall off, and low masticatory efficiency. In addition, movable dentures mainly rely on the mucous membrane and alveolar bone below the missing teeth to support the occlusal force, which can easily lead to gradual atrophy of the gums. Dental implants are not only strong and durable, but also prevent bone atrophy, and are obviously better than removable dentures in restoring dental masticatory function, maintaining oral health and maintaining facial appearance.

Therefore, it is suggested that if the conditions permit, all aspects of the situation meet the requirements of implant teeth, or try to choose implant teeth to repair missing teeth.

Break the rumor and inlay your teeth in time. No matter what method you choose to insert your teeth, you can't leave them alone, otherwise more and more teeth will be missing and your oral health will go from bad to worse. Oral health, general health.
