In order to have a good dental implant experience, it is relatively important to consult in advance. In addition to choosing experienced doctors for artificial dental implants, perfect medical equipment and medical staff are also indispensable.
Experience sharing of dental implant
Here are two experiences of dental implant, which can be shared with you. I hope you can use these cases as a reference for future experience before dental implantation.
Dental implant experience case 1: terrible dental implant experience!
The patient had his teeth implanted abroad. He took a sleeping pill the night before dental implantation, and another one on the day of dental implantation. It was originally expected that the operation would be over after waking up, but after more than an hour, the anesthetic withdrawal operation was not completed, and he had to supplement the anesthetic needle. It took nearly four hours before and after, nearly four times longer than expected. The main reason why the dental implant operation is not smooth is that the doctor planted it in the wrong place, and the doctor had to take out the artificial root and drill it in again. The patient's experience in the whole dental implant process is very unpleasant because the attending doctor's attitude is rude and ignores the patient's feelings.
From the experience of dental implant in case one, we can see that the detailed examination before dental implant and the doctor's experience will affect the fluency of dental implant process. I would like to remind you that when choosing a dental implant clinic, besides the doctor's dental implant experience, medical skills are as important as caring for patients.
Experience of dental implant case 2: rapid dental implant is not good, resulting in gingival atrophy.
Modern people pursue time-saving and quick cosmetic methods, and "rapid dental implantation" has become a new trend in the dental field in Taiwan Province Province in recent years. However, according to statistics, nearly 20% of patients with rapid dental implants have experienced serious failures such as gingival atrophy and loose implants. Patients with dental implants have long feet and short feet and suffer from gum loss.
The failure of rapid dental implantation will lead to gingival atrophy, which will make the teeth look different in length, the gap between teeth will be enlarged, and the ratio between gums and teeth will not be harmonious, which will not only affect the appearance, but also cause the terrible consequence of "teeth collapse completely" if the problem of gingival atrophy continues to deteriorate.
The process of dental implant surgery is gradual, so don't covet temporary convenience and get more serious jaw problems.
The success or failure of dental implants can be predicted.
1. Is there a special operating room for dental implants?
If doctors have many years of experience in dental implant surgery and know enough about dental implant surgery, they will basically set up an independent consulting room as an operating room for dental implant surgery to ensure that dental implant surgery will not be interfered by the outside world and avoid dental implant surgery failure due to bacterial infection in an open place. If you don't see such equipment when consulting dental implants, it may mean that there are not many dental implants in this clinic, so you haven't made such a spatial plan yet, and you may have to reconsider it at this time.
Second, the existence of full-mouth X-ray equipment.
Full-mouth X-ray equipment is expensive, so not every dentist's office will spend money on it. However, the success rate of single or large-area dental implant surgery is closely related to the adjacent teeth and the overall oral condition, so full-mouth X-ray equipment is very necessary. All dental problems can be seen at a glance when taking a full-mouth X-ray, as well as the related positions of nerves and sinuses. If the dentist's office you consult only allows you to take photos of a single tooth to confirm the experience of the treatment plan, then the risk of dental implant surgery can be greatly increased!
Third, the importance of dental implant doctor's license and experience accumulation.
Dental implant technology is a relatively advanced knowledge in the field of dentistry, so it is not involved in the school education of dentists. After graduation, doctors obtain relevant dental implant techniques through school or industry courses. Therefore, after the course is over, the relevant institutions will definitely issue a certificate to prove that the doctor has obtained enough credits or passed the exam. Usually, the doctor will publish the certificate on the display cabinet, so it's best to see if your doctor has a dental implant certificate before deciding on dental implant! More importantly, don't forget to see the doctor's graduation time, so as to judge whether the doctor's dental implant experience is long enough.
Fourth, the number of successful cases
Although hardware space and dental implant certificate are the first threshold for choosing dental implant doctors, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that they are all doctors with rich dental implant experience or good reputation. The best way is to ask the doctor to show you some previous cases of dental implants and ask the doctor if he can find similar cases for your reference. If the doctor falters or falters, he can't confidently pull out a series of cases and pictures at once, which shows that the doctor's experience in dental implant is limited. At this time, no matter what the doctor says and how favorable the price is, you should think twice.
5. Does the doctor know the steps of dental implant treatment?
Every patient's oral condition is different. Of course, doctors will give different treatment plans. However, if you find that the doctor is vague about the treatment steps, completion time and price when communicating with you, it is not necessarily rejection. Everything depends. Obviously, your doctor is not completely sure about the treatment plan. You may have to ask your senior or senior before you can draw a conclusion. In this way, you may become a doctor's experiment. Be careful when you meet such a doctor.
Rich dental implant experience is the most important.
If a clinic only has sophisticated instruments and equipment, but doctors lack relevant dental implant experience, just like a person with a bright appearance but an empty stomach, if you choose this kind of dental treatment, the risk will be higher. If you want to have a pleasant dental implant experience, careful selection of doctors and clinics will be one of the key points.
