Implant Tooth Replacement – Dental Implants

What is Dental Implantation?
When your teeth are damaged, without timely intervention, it can lead to dangerous complications such as bone resorption, gum recession, misalignment of teeth, and more. These issues can negatively impact chewing, swallowing, speech, and the overall aesthetics of your facial structure.
Dental implanting, or implant dentistry, is the optimal solution to effectively address tooth loss. This is the most advanced restoration technique available today, which allows for the creation of perfect prosthetic teeth that closely resemble natural teeth, without the need to interfere with existing healthy teeth.
Dental implants involve a dental procedure in which a titanium artificial tooth root is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant is placed into the area where the tooth is missing, the bone naturally integrates with the surface of the implant, securing it firmly in the jawbone. Finally, a prosthetic tooth is placed on the implant post.

Dental Implants – The Impeccable Restoration Method
Dental implants serve as a replacement for missing teeth, preventing bone loss and restoring chewing functionality for patients. With modern dental techniques, implants offer numerous advantages compared to other tooth restoration methods.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
- No need for tooth filling or root canal treatment: Unlike traditional dental bridges, implants do not require modifying adjacent healthy teeth.
- Avoid the inconveniences of removable dentures: No looseness, discomfort, poor chewing efficiency, or damage to adjacent teeth caused by clasps.
- Natural function and aesthetics: Implants look, feel, and function like real teeth. They are durable, convenient, and comfortable.
- Longevity: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Restore your beaming smile and youthful appearance: Implants improve both function and facial aesthetics.
Cases Suitable for Dental Implants
- Single or double tooth loss: Our dentist will place one or two implants at the corresponding missing tooth positions or combine implants with dental bridges.
- Multiple consecutive tooth loss: Implants can restore several missing teeth in a row.
- Full arch tooth loss: Depending on our patient’s needs, a minimum of four implants can be placed to support a full-arch prosthesis. For a complete arch restoration, fewer implants than the total number of missing teeth may be used in strategic positions, followed by attaching crowns.
Requirements for Dental Implants
- Adequate bone volume: After tooth extraction, bone resorption occurs over time. Sufficient bone thickness and volume are essential to support implants.
- If bone volume is insufficient, procedures like bone grafting may be necessary before implant placement.
- Healthy surrounding tissues: The implant site must have enough bone and healthy soft tissue. If tissue is lacking, additional procedures to augment bone or soft tissue may be required.
- Good oral hygiene and overall health: Candidates should maintain excellent oral hygiene and not have conditions like heart disease, diabetes, acute hepatitis, metabolic bone disorders, smoking addiction, or bruxism.
Ideal Timing for Implant Placement
The best time to place an implant is between 2 to 6 months after tooth extraction, allowing sufficient healing time while minimising bone resorption.
The Dental Implant Procedure at Home Dental Clinic
The dental implant technique is complex and requires a high level of precision. To ensure the best outcomes for our patients, Home Dental Clinic – 30 Triệu Việt Vương strictly adheres to a systematic and well-planned process based on carefully calculated treatment protocols developed by experienced doctors.
This rigorous approach is designed to deliver optimal results, prioritise patient safety, and provide long-term satisfaction with the implant restoration.
Dental Implant Procedure at Home Dental Clinic
Step 1: Consultation, Examination, and Bone Assessment
During the first visit, the doctors at Home Dental Clinic will thoroughly examine and consult with the patient about their dental condition. This step involves panoramic X-rays or CT Cone Beam imaging to evaluate the bone density and height, ensuring they are suitable for implant placement.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Before surgery, the patient must prepare both physically and mentally by maintaining good health, eating well, and staying positive. Blood sugar, blood pressure, and cardiovascular conditions must be managed according to the doctor’s instructions.
The doctor performs a minor surgery to insert the implant into the jawbone. Each implant placement typically takes 10-15 minutes.
- For cases involving front teeth, temporary prosthetics may be fitted immediately after surgery, allowing normal use.
- In cases of long-term tooth loss, older patients, or those with poor bone quality, additional procedures such as sinus lifts, bone grafts, or other supportive techniques may be required.
Step 3: Healing Abutment Placement
Typically, after 4-6 months, patients return for a follow-up appointment and imaging to assess the implant’s integration.
The doctor then places a healing abutment on the implant, requiring 1-2 weeks for gum tissue to grow around it, ensuring optimal aesthetics for the final restoration.
In cases with good bone quality, the healing abutment may be placed immediately after the implant, bypassing the need for this step.
Step 4: Impression for the Crown
One to two weeks after placing the healing abutment, the doctor places an abutment on the implant and takes an impression using specialised materials and tools for implant restorations. Alternatively, a digital intraoral scanner may be used for cases with 1-3 implants. The doctor also selects the crown colour to match the patient’s natural teeth.
Step 5: Fixed Restoration on the Implant
Once the dental lab has completed the crown, the doctor tries it on the patient and securely attaches it to the implant using cement or screws.
Patients receive a new tooth (or teeth) that often exceed their expectations in functionality and aesthetics.
Post-Procedure Care
- After one week, a follow-up appointment ensures the implant is in good condition.
- The longevity of the implant largely depends on the patient’s post-procedure care. Regular check-ups every four months are crucial for maintaining implant health and functionality.
A successful implant procedure depends on various factors, with the doctor’s expertise being the most critical.
