If a missing tooth is left as it is, the teeth located next to it will not receive strength and the teeth will be deformed and damaged. Also, a bigger problem may be resorption of the alveolar bone. Therefore, dental implants that can replace the role of natural teeth are implanted. Implants help you chew food well and are highly aesthetically pleasing.
In some cases, extraction is necessary due to aging or an accident. Dental implants are a treatment method to replace teeth when they lose their original function due to loss of natural teeth or severe damage. The structure of implants is superficially similar to natural teeth. It consists of a screw-shaped implant, an abutment corresponding to the middle column, and an upper prosthesis.
When inserting into the gum and bone, the fixture plays an important role in preventing the implant from shaking or falling out, so it must be placed correctly. The abutment supports the prosthesis in the middle. The top prosthesis is manufactured considering durability, esthetics, and occlusion. Implants have low concerns about foreign body sensation, shaking, and loss even when chewing food. Therefore, implants are aesthetically and functionally satisfactory.
We will briefly explain the implant placement process.
Step 1 : Dental examination and planning.
Dental implants are a difficult treatment process, it is important to diagnose them accurately from the beginning and make a plan based on the details. Frist, the patient's tooth loss site and the condition of the alveolar bone are identified, and them the treatment direction is determined.
Step 2 : Implant placement
Considering the condition of the patient's gum and bones, implants can be placed immediately after tooth extraction. Or wait for the gum to recover before proceeding with surgery. After the implant is placed, it is necessary to properly adhere and bond to the gum bone.
Step 3 : Connect the abutment
When it is confirmed that the joint is well connected, the abutment corresponding to the middle column is connected. This serves to hold the prosthesis in place.
Step 4 : Mounting the prosthesis
The prosthesis is made to fit the patient's teeth condition, which has been analyzed in advance for the patient's oral and occlusal condition. The crown is connected over the abutment to complete the shape of the tooth. Since it has strong durability so that there is no strain when chewing food, there is less inconvenient in daily life.
When it comes to dental implants, it is difficult to check the condition with the naked eyes, so digital equipment is used to secure diagnostic data. Because it undergoes not only the oral condition but also the simulated surgery process, it is possible to proceed with an error-free operation. Through 3D analysis, the position of teeth and neural tube, bone tissue condition, etc. These can be identified with high accuracy, and the position and direction of the implant can be predicted.
