What is half implant tooth

Implantation process of half implant teeth

The process of half mouth implant usually includes the following steps: 1. * * Preliminary examination and planning * *: First, the dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's oral conditions, including the health of teeth, gums and jaw bones. Through X-ray or 3D scanning, the doctor will work out a suitable implant plan for the patient. 2. * * Implant implantation * *: Under local anesthesia, doctors will implant implants in patients' jaw bones. These implants are usually made of titanium metal, which can combine well with bone tissue. 3. * * Healing period * *: After the implant is implanted, it needs a period of time for the implant to combine with the bone tissue. This process is called osseointegration. This phase may take several months. 4. * * Installing the abutment and crown * *: After the osseointegration is completed, the doctor will install the abutment on the implant, and then make and install the crown. The material of the tooth crown can be metal, ceramic or a combination of both, which can be selected according to the specific conditions and preferences of patients.
