Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that provide a strong foundation for fixed replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Typically, the dental implant procedure is performed on those who have lost a tooth or several teeth due to injury, tooth decay or periodontal disease (gum or bone infection). In other words, dental implants replace missing teeth with a more natural look and feel compared to dentures and other types of dental restorations.

Our affiliated clinic offers an advanced technique for dental implants, known as 3D Guided Implant Surgery. The whole procedure is computer-guided, elevating the dental implant procedure to a higher level, where safety is guaranteed and the procedure is minimally-invasive. The technique reduces the number of implants needed, as it focuses on the All-on-6 type of dental implants.

Initially, a 3D computer tomogram (CT) will be done to review and plan for the treatment. With the help of this 3D software, the ideal position and size of each dental implant can be planned virtually according to the most suitable jaw areas. The data of the implant position and size obtained will then get transferred into a 3D printed plastic device called 3D surgical guide. The surgical procedure for dental implant insertion will be performed with the exact planned precision by means of the 3D surgical guide formed.

The more advanced 3D Guided Implant, when compared appears to have a few benefits over the traditional implant. A major benefit includes the decrease in postoperative symptoms such as swelling, bruising, and pain. With the 3D surgical guide, the implant insertion can be carried out minimally invasive without having to make incisions on the soft tissue for the bone examination and thus less traumatic. Moreover, the sutures can be completely avoided and the whole process can be carried out faster. The 3D guided implant also reduces the risk of biomechanical complications and failure in the long term in the case where there is a wrong positioning of the implant.

1. Your mouth will be rinsed with an antiseptic
2. Anesthesia is administered
3. With the computer-guided procedure, specific holes are gently drilled into the jawbone; the size of the holes depends on the size of the implants
4. The implants are then tapped into position carefully

<Advantages>
· Precise technique
· Eliminates the need for soft tissue incisions
· Decreases risk of damage to the surrounding healthy tissues
· Reduces postoperative complications such as swelling, bruising, and pain
· Heals faster
· Reduces risk of biomechanical complications and failure

<Limitations>
· Swelling and bruising may occur for a few days

· Only consume liquid foods 24 hrs after surgery and semi-liquid food during the entire week
· Avoid consuming very hot or cold food or drinks
· Post operative swelling is normal. However, if you experience excessive swelling, severe pain, or persistent bleeding, please contact the emergency
· Rinse your mouth with an antiseptic wash
· Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption
· Avoid exerting heavy pressure around the implant site

Q1: I have a lot of missing teeth, what will happen if I do not go for a dental implant?
A1: Your jawbone will experience a lack of stimulation and might start to shrink. This may result in a premature aging appearance.

Q2: Are they removable like dentures?
A2: No, dental implants are fixed solidly in the bone.

Q3: Is the dental implant procedure painful?
A3: Many say that having a tooth extracted is more painful. However, incisions must be made at the gums, the administration of anesthesia will prevent you from feeling the pain.

Q4: Do I still need dental check-ups after?
A4: Yes, a regular dental check-up every 6 months is recommended.

Q5: How long can the implant last?
A5: The implant can last a lifetime, however, the crown can last about 10 to 15 years with good hygiene care.

Q6: How long does the entire planning take?
A6: Initially, a consultation with a CT scan is absolutely necessary. In some cases, impressions of the patient’s teeth might be needed as well. Once the case is virtually planned on the 3D software, all information will be electronically sent abroad for the fabrication of the 3D surgical guide. It usually takes no longer than 2 weeks until the 3D surgical guide is received and ready for the implant surgery.
