Dental implants, also called artificial dental implants, do not really plant natural teeth, but make pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bones into cylinders or other shapes similar to roots through medical means, and then implant them into alveolar bones in edentulous areas through minor surgery. After the artificial root and alveolar bone are tightly sealed, the porcelain crown is made on the artificial root.
Dental implants can achieve the same restoration effect as natural teeth in function, structure and aesthetic effect, and have become the first choice for more and more patients with missing teeth. Because of its non-destructive, dental implants have been recognized as the first choice for the restoration of missing teeth in stomatology.

The reason why dental implants are expensive:
The main reason is that the technical threshold of dental implant is high and the labor cost is high. There are still not many professional doctors in China, and some hospitals have a monthly salary of 1.2 million, so it is difficult to recruit suitable talents.
Dental implants require very high experience and skills of doctors, and need a team of specially trained professional implant surgeons, implant restorers, implant technicians and corresponding assistants to complete them, which requires relatively high personnel costs.
Generally, a tooth needs about 8 times before and after implantation, which takes 3-6 months, including oral examination and X-ray examination to determine whether it is suitable for artificial dental implantation.
