What is half implant and half fixation?

Semi fixation of half implant teeth is a modern dental technology, which is mainly aimed at those patients who have more teeth missing in the upper or lower jaw. This treatment method combines the advantages of implant teeth and traditional dentures. By implanting a small amount of artificial root (implant) in the patient's mouth, and then fixing some dentures on these implants, the function and aesthetic recovery of missing teeth can be achieved.

Advantages of semi fixed implant teeth

Compared with the traditional full mouth implant or full mouth denture, the semi fixed half mouth implant has the following significant advantages:

• Reduce the number of operations and recovery time: Since only a few implants are needed, the number of operations and recovery time are greatly reduced.
• Cost effective: Compared with full mouth dental implants, half mouth dental implants are more suitable for patients with limited budgets because of their lower cost of semi fixation.
• Keep your mouth healthy: Implants can prevent alveolar bone atrophy and keep the oral structure stable. At the same time, dentures are easy to clean, which helps maintain oral health.

Treatment process of half fixed implant teeth

The treatment process of semi fixation of half implant teeth usually includes the following steps:

1. Preliminary inspection and assessment: The dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's oral health to assess whether it is suitable for semi fixed treatment of half implant teeth.
2. Develop treatment plan: According to the examination results, the doctor will make a detailed treatment plan, including the number and location of implants.
3. Implant implantation: Under local anesthesia, doctors implant implants into the patient's alveolar bone.
4. convalescence: Implant needs to be combined with alveolar bone for a period of time, which is called osseointegration.
5. Fixed dentures: After osseointegration, the doctor will install fixed dentures on the implants to complete the whole treatment process.

Precautions for semi fixation of half implant teeth

Although semi fixation of half implant teeth is a relatively safe and effective treatment method, patients still need to pay attention to the following points when receiving treatment:

• Choose an experienced doctor: Dental implant surgery has high technical requirements for doctors, and selecting experienced doctors can improve the success rate of surgery.
• Postoperative care: After the operation, oral care should be carried out in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions to avoid infection and other complications.
• Regular review: After the treatment, they should return to the hospital for reexamination regularly to ensure that the implants and dentures are in good condition.
