Dental Implants (Solution to Your Missing Teeth)

· Those in need of affordable Dental Implants in Ho Chi Minh.
· Those with tooth loss / missing teeth / poor gums.
· Those who wish to provide a strong foundation for fixed/permanent or removable replacement teeth that matches natural teeth.

Dental implants are metal frames that are surgically positioned to help replace your teeth. As they are fused to your jawbone, stable support is provided for artificial teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

A bone graft is a transplant of bone tissue to support damaged bone caused by trauma, gum diseases or infection. In dental terminology, it is viewed as a form of support for dental implants, which in turn helps support false teeth. Bone grafting is usually conducted under local anaesthesia or IV sedation to provide comfort.

<Conventional Implants>
· Applicable to replace one, multiple or all missing teeth with permanent restoration.
· Done in 2 stages - 2 to 6 months gap in between
· May be done for most types of bone conditions.

<Immediate Implants>
· Also known as One day implants - place implant immediately after teeth extracted
· Recommended only for people with good jaw bones conditions

<Immediate Load Implants>
· Place crowns, bridges or dentures immediately after implants are embedded in the jaws
· Often follow after conventional or immediate
· Recommended only for people with good jaw bones conditions

<Single Tooth Implant>
· Consists 3 parts - implant, abutment and crown.
· One of the best permanent restorations - looks and works like a natural tooth
· Used for single tooth missing or multiple tooth missing

<All-on-4 or All-on-6>
· Full arch tooth replacement with 4 or 6 implants
· Usually used when all teeth are missing
· Results in immediate function and improved stability

1. First Evaluation and X-Ray
· Take X-Ray and Oral examination to determine implant site and bone condition

2. Implant site preparation
· In the case of where there is still a tooth, remove it. Immediate implants can be done only after examining bone condition and no infection. If immediate implant is not suited, the treatment will be pushed forward until the area is healed for about few weeks to 2 months.
· In the case of insufficient bone structure, it is recommended to graft the bone. If the bone grafting is done moderately, the treatment will be pushed forward until the area is healed for about few weeks to 2 months.

3. Implant placement
· Embed the implant and suture the tissue

4. Healing Process (Osseointegration):
· Integrate the implant to heal with jaw bone. If immediate loaded implant is necessary, step 5 is done. Otherwise, the implant is left to heal for about 2 to 6 months before step 5 is done.
· Removal of suture 7 -14 days after surgery

5. Abutment attachment
· Attach abutment to implant when the gum tissue is ready

6. Place Crown/Bridge or Overdenture
· Make crown/bridge or overdenture after taking the impressions
· If crowns/bridges opted, fix the implant over the post and cement it
· If overdentures opted, simply snap it to metal bars or balls

Q1: Is it possible if I want metal-free implants?
A1: There is no such thing as a metal free implant. Almost all materials used for teeth replacements contain at least a minute amount of metal ions in them.

Q2: I have a lot of missing teeth, what will happen if I do not undergo a Dental Implant procedure?
A2: Your jawbone will experience a lack of stimulation and might start to shrink. This may result in a premature aging appearance.
