Implantation process

STEP 1:

General examination and direct consultation

Consultation before the treatment: Let staff collect some information about medical history and dental history of the patient.

STEP 2:

Taking 3D Cone Beam X-ray and Panorex Surface X-ray

At this stage, the doctor will receive:  3-dimensional images of the jaw.

Benefit:

- Precise assessment of the quality and quantity of bone.

- Knowing the ideal implant position.

- Increase the safety level with maximum accuracy in the placement of the implant to avoid errors when not in the right direction.

- Check the tightness of the implant prosthesis.

- Shorten treatment time.

- Determine if the size, length, depth, and width of the jaw bone tissue are suitable for the implant or not in order to formulate an effective treatment plan.

STEP 3:

Image analysis and feedback

Through image analysis, doctors will identify cases to provide feedback to customers. Usually, there are two cases:

Full bone volume and thick gums

Full bones and thick gums are favorable factors for good prognosis. Qualified for the implant.

Lack of bone volume and thin gums

Solution:  In case of insufficient bones or gums volume. Grafting of bones and gum is required to supplement these two types of tissue, ensuring that there are 2 mm of bone surrounding the implant and at least 1.1 mm of gum tissue and must have keratinized gingiva.

Bone graft material:  Until now, the patient's real bone is still the best material because it contains growth factors that heal quickly, have live bone cells and limit the possibility of a reaction. In some cases, however, artificial bone can still be used.

STEP 4:

Get a jaw sample and plan the ideal position for implantation for each case

Get a sample of the jaw:  To get specific information about the dental condition of the client.

Assumptions for implant placement:  Bone analysis and assume the implant position on specialized software.

STEP 5:

Make a treatment plan

Consultation on plantation method that suits the condition of teeth, jaw and time conditions, costs of the customers, as well as explaining to customers about related questions.

STEP 6:

Conduct implant operation

Before surgery:

- Maintain oral hygiene, remove plaque and treat periodontitis if infected.

- Use mouthwash that contains chlorhexidine.

- Take antibiotic prophylaxis.

During surgery:

- Local anesthesia or general anesthesia.

- Initiate gum removal process and drill holes on the jaw in order to insert the implant fixture.

- To ensure dental aesthetics, the clinic will give patients temporarily teeth while waiting for porcelain teeth.

After Surgery:

- Continue to use mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine.

- Check back to your doctor according to the schedule.

- Eat soft foods while waiting for the implant fixtureto stabilize in the bone.

STEP 7:

Manufacture of dental porcelain

Types of porcelain teeth:  Currently, there are many kinds of porcelain teeth diverse in price and aesthetics to give patients more choices.

Meet the technical requirements:  As finishing lines, base, colors, the shape of teeth.

Strict adherence to procedures:  Any dental porcelain products that do not meet the requirements of quality and aesthetics will be removed and remade from the beginning.

STEP 8:

Perform dental restorations on implants

This is the last and most important step because it is harder and more complicated than normal dental restorations. Failed to achieve a tight fit will cause harm such as:

- Bad breath

- Gingivitis.

- More severe conditions will cause inflammation around the implant leading to implant loss.
