As one of the more common oral problems, missing teeth often happen to us. Whether it is due to accidents, serious caries extraction or age-related tooth loss, missing teeth will always bring a lot of inconvenience to our lives. Dental implants, as a way to repair missing teeth, have brought a new experience to many citizens with missing teeth.
Dental implants, known as the "third set of teeth", what kind of existence is it? How does it work?

Why is it necessary to restore a missing tooth? There are a lot of hidden dangers associated with missing teeth:
01/Occlusal disorders
A missing tooth on one side of the body may weaken the chewing function of this side of the body and use the other side of the body for chewing, which will gradually form the problem of "lateral chewing" (偏侧咀嚼). This will gradually lead to the problem of "lateral mastication". One side of the occlusal muscle is not frequently used while the other side is overused, resulting in a different shape of the face and a disorganized occlusion.
02/It's not good for the surrounding teeth
If there is a missing tooth, the teeth on both sides of the tooth will gradually tilt towards the missing place because of the loss of support, which will easily cause the gap between the teeth to increase, and the food residue will easily be embedded in the gap between the teeth, and it is not easy to clean it, which causes inflammation, and has a negative impact on the surrounding teeth and gums. The result is that the teeth and gums will be adversely affected.
03/ The alveolar bone is unfavorable
If the missing teeth are not supported for a long time, the alveolar bone will continue to shrink and resorb. Missing teeth will inevitably have a negative impact on the chewing function of the teeth, such as saliva secretion is not enough, the food cut is not fine enough, the stomach and intestines to cause a certain burden ...... In the long run, the body's absorption of nutrients will have a certain amount of reduction, the gastrointestinal digestive system will also increase the possibility of lesions.
Dental implant restoration, that is, in the missing teeth at the implantation of an artificial tooth body, like planting a tree implanted artificial tooth root after the bone healing and then crown restoration.

The correct process of dental implant is: film - examination - communication implant program - select the implant - implant implant - waiting for the alveolar bone healing - installation of the abutment - the production of dental mold, select the color of the tooth - wearing a temporary crown waiting for the model to come back to the production of the crown - installation of crowns to complete the dental implant!
01/Pre-operative basic examination
Periodontal examination
Implants cannot be placed in cases of periodontal disease, as this will affect the bone healing of the implant.
CT scan
The dental radiographs help the dentist to understand the condition of the patient's mouth, to confirm the width and height of the jawbone, the position of the nerves and to design a plan.
Bone quality assessment
Dental implants have certain requirements on the alveolar bone, the alveolar bone is like the foundation, if the bone is insufficient or atrophic, the implant can not be "rooted", then you need to bone powder, periosteum, or autogenous bone grafting to increase the amount of bone, to ensure that the implant is stable in the later stage. The implant can be stabilized at a later stage.
Fabrication of the implant guide
The guide helps the surgeon to position the implant accurately and is often used for half-mouth implants, minimally invasive implants and digital implants.
02/Implantation process
Process 1: Preparation of holes in the alveolar bone, implant placement, and tight sutures in the bone bed to prevent bacterial invasion;
Process 2: Waiting for osseointegration, which varies from person to person and can take up to 3-6 months;
Process 3: Installation of healing abutments to promote integration of the dental tissues and the implant;
Process 4: Installation of the healing abutments to promote integration of the dental tissues and the implant.
Process 3: Installation of a healing abutment to facilitate the integration of dental tissue and the implant;
Process 4: Replacement of the healing abutment with a restorative abutment and connection of the crown;
Process 5: Installation of the crown, the implantation process is completed.
03/Post-operative checkup
Post-operative checkup is not to be ignored, in general, patients go to the hospital twice a year checkup is enough.

Dental implants can be used like normal teeth after installation, which is beautiful and practical! However, the technical equipment behind a dental implant is far more than the average person can imagine.
01/Hardware
Dental implants require a high degree of precision, and the implant is usually just a few millimeters, the traditional blind implant has basically been eliminated, and you want to be minimally invasive, minimally painful, you have to rely on large-scale medical equipment in order to accurately locate the position.
How to collect a comprehensive intraoral situation in a short time? In order to break through the various difficulties in the preliminary examination, it is necessary to CBCT imaging and digital intraoral scanning technology. Unlike the traditional single film to take images, the first step that every customer who comes to Uno - Dr. Dental can experience is a free CBCT examination.
Through the collection of the oral cavity, teeth, face and other intraoral conditions, will form a three-dimensional three-dimensional data instantly synchronized to the doctor's computer, so that the doctor and the patient's communication is more clear and smooth.
02/Implantologist Technology
Of course, behind every dental implant that satisfies the customer, in addition to the digitalization of the technology in all aspects, it is important to have a professional team of doctors with excellent medical skills and perfect cooperation.
Dr. Uno Dental implant team has strong strength, with an average of 10 years of clinical experience. The team doctors are skilled in digital implantation technology, and can develop perfect implantation plan according to individual differences, which is a safe choice for your dental implantation.
