The process and cost of dental implants in Macau
What is tooth planting?
Dental implants, also known as dental implants, are used to replace damaged or missing teeth. The implants are made of titanium metal, implanted in the alveolar bone, and then fitted with artificial teeth that are very similar to real teeth, so that the ability to chew can be restored. Implants can be used to replace dentures or Bridges that do not fit properly, especially those that do not have natural roots or that cannot be repaired. The dentist will recommend this method as a good choice for tooth restoration, because the implant can provide solid support, so that the new tooth can chew normally, just like other teeth.
Reasons to plant teeth
The increase in demand for dental implants is due to factors such as an ageing population and increasing demand for dental services. In the past, elderly people would replace lost teeth with detachable dentures, but since the advent of dental implants, more and more people are choosing this method to restore lost chewing function. Because the implant system uses the alveolar bone as the support point of the artificial teeth, it is closer to the original tooth design, so it will be more comfortable to use. How do you pick the implant? Because the implant is surgically implanted into your mandible, the titanium metal in the implant will fuse with your mandible and will not loosen, make noise or damage bone as much as the denture, and the material is better and less prone to wear. Some of the advantages of dental implant surgery are recommended by dentists.
The process of tooth planting
Steps of tooth planting
1. Extraction: Your dentist will need to remove your teeth completely before you can have them implanted. 2, bone drilling space: the dentist will use tools to drill away part of the bone in order to provide space for the implant. 3, implant installation: In the implant installation process, the dentist will cut the tooth meat, and then open. A small hole is drilled at the desired location and the implant is placed. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is mostly done under local anaesthetic, so it is usually not painful. If you feel uncomfortable during the implantation, inform your dentist immediately. 4, Install the healing cap and wait for healing: After the metal is embedded in your mandible, the alveolar bone will slowly heal with the implant, and the healing process will take about three months. The dentist will arrange a tooth healing device to help the tooth grow into the desired shape. 5, Install the crown: After the tooth is healed, the dentist will remove the healing device, and then install the crown to complete the implantation process.Denture price

The determining factor of dental charges Brand:
The brand charges are not the same. Generally speaking, European and American brands buried with the old brand charges will be higher, but the quality is higher protection. South Korea's implants are the most economical, the United States' fees are medium, and Switzerland's implants are the most expensive. Complexity: Most of them can be carried out by simple and ordinary methods, but some patients may have insufficient teeth, which will increase the complexity of dental implants and the cost of implantation. For patients with weak teeth, common additional treatments include sinus surgery, lifting surgery and hyperplastic surgery. However, additional programs will increase the cost. Materials: Different dental implant materials will have different charges. All-ceramic crowns and all-metal crowns will increase the cost of the implant. The ceramic crown is more beautiful than the ceramic metal crown, so most people choose to use the ceramic crown to repair the front teeth. After the tooth is implanted, the patient can chew food normally. But maintaining dental implants is important. Good dental care can extend the life of dental implants and reduce the number of repairs required by dentists. Good dental care is as follows:
1, regular use of floss or interdental brush to clean the space between the teeth: regular use of appropriate dental care products can keep teeth clean and reduce the risk of inflammation.
2, return to the dental clinic at least once a year: after the completion of dental implants, the patient should agree at least once a year to return to check the health of the dental implants.
3, avoid eating hard things: most kinds of dental materials are ceramic, easy to crack. Therefore, avoid eating hard materials to reduce the damage.
