Dental implant surgery is a common method of dental restoration, which can help those patients who have lost their teeth due to various reasons to restore masticatory function and beauty. The following is a simplified description of the whole process of the upper incisor implant video to help you better understand this process.

Preoperative preparation

Before dental implant surgery, patients need to undergo a comprehensive oral examination, including X-ray and CT scanning, to assess the condition of alveolar bone and determine the * * position of the implant. The doctor will also discuss with the patient the expected results of the operation, possible risks, and postoperative care.

Operation process

1. local anesthesia : First, the doctor will apply local anesthesia in the operation area to ensure that the patient will not feel pain during the operation.
2. Incise the gums : The doctor will cut the gums on the alveolar bone with missing teeth to expose the bone surface.
3. drill hole : Use a special drill to drill a hole in the alveolar bone. The size and shape of the hole should match the implant to be implanted.
4. Implant Implants are usually made of titanium when they are implanted into drilled holes, because they have good biocompatibility with human tissues.
5. suture After the implant is implanted, the doctor will suture the gum to cover the implant.

Postoperative recovery

After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for recovery, including taking antibiotics and painkillers, and maintaining good oral hygiene. Implants need a period of time to integrate with the alveolar bone (called osteointegration), which usually takes several months.

Install dental crown

Once the implant is fully integrated with the alveolar bone, the doctor will perform a second operation, install the connector (abutment), and then make and install the crown. The crown is the visible part of the implant, which simulates the appearance and function of natural teeth.

Postoperative care

After installing the dental crown, patients need to continue to maintain good oral hygiene habits, and regularly return to the doctor for inspection and cleaning.
