When we encounter the problem of losing teeth, dental implant is undoubtedly a good solution.It can restore the integrity of dentition and is similar to the function and beauty of natural teeth.But the cost of dental implants is also a concern of many people.How much does an implant cost?The cost of dental implant varies from region to region and hospital to hospital.Generally speaking, in first tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the cost of an implant is between 20000 and 40000 yuan.In second and third tier cities, the cost is relatively low, usually around 10000 to 20000 yuan.This includes the cost of implant operation, implant itself, and the production of restoration after implant implantation.In addition to regional differences, the cost of dental implants is also affected by many factors.For example, the material and brand of the implant, the difficulty of surgery, and the type of prosthesis.The cost of using imported brand implants and choosing expensive restorations will be relatively high.For simple single planting, the cost will be cheaper.In addition, some hospitals also provide preferential policies of installment payment, which can also reduce the financial pressure of dental implants.Although the cost of dental implant is high, it can bring many advantages to patients.Compared with the traditional denture restoration, the implant has better masticatory function and aesthetics.Moreover, the implant teeth can be retained for a long time, and will not loose and fall off as easily as the dentures.These are unmatched by traditional repair methods.For patients eager to restore the integrity of dentition, dental implant is undoubtedly a good choice.
Indications and contraindications of dental implants
Not all patients are suitable for dental implant restoration.Implant teeth have their own indications and contraindications, which need to be evaluated according to the specific situation.First, implant * is suitable for patients who are missing a single tooth or a few teeth.For patients with a large range of dentition defects, implant teeth may not be completely restored.In addition, the implant also needs enough alveolar bone as a support. If the alveolar bone loss is serious, it may affect the stability of the implant.Secondly, implant patients need good oral hygiene habits.Because implant teeth need careful daily cleaning and care, if patients can not develop good oral hygiene habits for a long time, it is easy to lead to infection and inflammation of tissues around the implant.Moreover, general health is also an important consideration.Some systemic diseases, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases, may affect the healing process of implants and bones.Bad habits such as smoking and drinking will also increase the risk of planting failure.*After implant restoration, there is not no risk.Although the success rate of dental implant is quite high, it is not 100%.Some individual special factors, such as osteoporosis and gingival recession, may affect the stability of implants.This requires full communication and evaluation between doctors and patients to determine whether they are suitable for implant restoration.
Surgical procedure of dental implant
For most implant patients, the whole process of implant restoration usually takes 3-6 months.This process includes several main steps, such as implant implantation, healing of implant and bone, and final prosthesis fabrication.The first is implant surgery.The doctor will create a space for the artificial root in the missing tooth area, and then implant the implant into the alveolar bone.This process usually needs to be carried out under local anesthesia, and takes 30-60 minutes.The patient may have some swelling and discomfort after surgery, but usually can recover within 1-2 weeks.The next step is the healing process of implant and bone.This process will take 3-6 months to integrate the implant firmly with the surrounding bone.During this period, patients need to follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-up and examination to ensure that the implant healing is good.*The next step is to make the final restoration.The doctor will customize a beautiful and natural denture prosthesis according to the patient's tooth type and occlusion, and connect it with the implant.This process usually takes 2-4 weeks.After the restoration is installed, the patient can use it like the original teeth.Although the whole process of dental implant restoration requires a certain amount of time and effort, the final results are worth it.Implant teeth can not only restore the integrity of dentition, but also provide excellent masticatory function and aesthetic effect for patients, thus greatly improving the quality of life.
Precautions for dental implants
Although dental implant is a safe and reliable repair method, patients still need to pay enough attention and care in their daily life.Only in this way can the implanted teeth play a good role and remain stable for a long time.First, implant patients need to establish good oral hygiene habits.Adhere to basic cleaning measures such as brushing and flossing every day, and regularly clean teeth professionally, which is very important to the health of the gingiva around the implant.If there is gum problem, seek medical treatment in time.Secondly, patients with dental implants should pay attention to the adjustment of their eating habits.Some hard and sticky foods, such as nuts and dried fruits, may cause some pressure on the implant, and should be restricted.At the same time, avoid biting hard objects to avoid damaging the implant.Moreover, implant patients should receive professional examinations regularly.Even if there is no problem with the implant, the doctor needs to evaluate the condition of the implant regularly and give corresponding maintenance suggestions.Only in this way can we find and solve the potential problems as soon as possible and ensure the long-term stability of the implant teeth.*After that, patients with dental implants should actively cooperate with doctors' suggestions and treatment plans.In case of any discomfort or abnormality, seek medical advice in time.Only scientific and reasonable nursing of implant teeth can greatly extend its service life and obtain ideal restoration effect.To sum up, as an advanced dental restoration technology, dental implants have many advantages in solving the problem of missing teeth.But at the same time, it also requires patients to pay a certain amount of time and cost.Only when we fully understand the relevant knowledge of implant teeth and strictly follow the doctor's advice, can we achieve satisfactory restorative effects to a large extent and improve the quality of life.
