Some people who are in poor general condition and cannot tolerate surgery cannot undergo tooth root implantation. Such as cardiovascular disease, severe diabetes, bad tumors, etc., especially those with endocrine dysfunction, abnormal bone metabolism, and high-level use of drugs such as chemotherapy, hormones, and anticoagulants that have an impact on bone metabolism and integration. , dental implant surgery cannot be performed.

Dental implantation is to implant artificial tooth roots into the alveolar bone, and then install porcelain teeth on top of the artificial tooth roots. It is a restoration method that is exactly the same as natural teeth in terms of function and appearance. It is known as the successor to deciduous teeth. , the third set of human teeth after permanent teeth.

It is not necessary. For example, if 3 teeth are missing in a row, you only need to implant 2 artificial tooth roots and set up a dental bridge, which will save the cost. If more teeth are missing, an examination is needed to determine the number of dental implants. Usually the number of implants is smaller than the number of missing teeth. When half of the teeth are missing, we use the advanced All-On-4 technology and only need to implant 4 artificial tooth roots.

Comparison of dentures

When teeth are missing, there are three methods to restore the function and appearance of the missing teeth, including dental implants, fixed dentures, and removable dentures.

Dental implants are fixed with artificial roots and crowns, which have beautiful appearance and strong chewing power. Artificial tooth roots stimulate the alveolar bone and prevent alveolar bone atrophy. Fixed dentures (porcelain teeth) require grinding of adjacent teeth to support the dental bridge to achieve satisfactory chewing strength and beautiful appearance.

It cannot prevent bone atrophy in missing teeth. Removable dentures need to be fixed with adjacent teeth, which results in unsatisfactory appearance and low chewing efficiency. It cannot prevent bone atrophy in edentulous sites.
