Basic Concepts of Complete Dental Implants

Complete denture implantation is a common oral restorative technique, which is mainly used to solve the problem of tooth loss. It restores the function and beauty of teeth by implanting artificial root in the alveolar bone of patients and then installing crowns on it. Full denture implantation can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, enable them to chew food normally, improve pronunciation, and enhance self-confidence.

How many teeth need to be planted for full mouth?

The number of teeth to be implanted for full mouth implantation depends on the specific situation of the patient. In general, if the patient is missing teeth in both the upper and lower jaw, it may be necessary to implant 8 to 10 teeth. This is because the design of implant teeth is usually 4 to 5 implants per jaw, which can support a complete dental bridge. However, this number is not fixed. The actual number of teeth to be implanted will be adjusted according to the patient's alveolar bone condition, occlusion relationship, personal needs and other factors.

Process of full mouth tooth implantation

The process of full mouth dental implantation usually includes the following steps: First, conduct a comprehensive oral examination and evaluation, including the density and height of alveolar bone. Next, make a personalized treatment plan based on the evaluation results. Then, implant the artificial root into the alveolar bone under local anesthesia. After surgery, it takes some time for the implant to fuse with the bone tissue (called osteointegration). *After that, the dental crown is installed on the implant to complete the whole implant process.

Precautions for full mouth implant

Full mouth dental implantation is a complicated oral surgery. When selecting full mouth dental implantation, patients should pay attention to the following points: First, select experienced stomatologists and regular medical institutions for treatment. Secondly, the risks and possible complications of surgery should be fully understood before surgery. In addition, postoperative care should be carried out in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive chewing of hard objects, so as to ensure the stability and success of the implant.

Summary

Full mouth implant is an effective method for repairing tooth loss. It restores the function and beauty of teeth by implanting artificial root in alveolar bone. The number of teeth to be planted for full mouth implantation is usually 8 to 10, but the specific number needs to be determined according to the actual situation of the patient. The process of full denture implantation includes oral examination, preparation of treatment plan, implant operation, bone integration and crown installation. Patients should choose professional doctors and institutions when carrying out full mouth dental implantation, and pay attention to postoperative care to ensure the success of the operation and oral health.
