What does advantage of dental implant have?
Dental implant is a kind of dental implant in which an artificial tooth root is inserted into the alveolar bone tissue of the patient’s mouth to support the crown restoration. At present, this method is one of the first choices for tooth loss.
As for the advantages of dental implants and the process of dental implants, let’s welcome Zhang Zheng, chief physician of Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to give us a detailed explanation.
What are dental implants?
Dental implant refers to a method of repairing a missing tooth based on the substructure of the implanted bone tissue to support and maintain the upper dental prosthesis.
It consists of two parts: a lower support implant and an upper dental prosthesis.
Dental implants can achieve the function and structure of natural teeth, as well as aesthetic restoration effect is very similar, so it is also called the third teeth, it can replace the permanent teeth very well.
What does advantage of dental implant have?
The advantages of dental implant mainly include the following aspects: 1. Aesthetic: through the artificial root implanted into the alveolar bone of the missing tooth, no metal composition, no accessory structure, beautiful and natural appearance, and will not cause any damage to the adjacent teeth; 2.
2. Comfort: implant teeth are fixed restorations, similar in shape to natural teeth, and more comfortable in use;
3. Good recovery of masticatory function: the masticatory function of the implanted teeth has reached 90-95% of that of the natural teeth, and the recovery degree is good.
The process of dental implants?
The process of dental implantation is mainly divided into two steps.
Will be the first step by surgery patients gums cut, and then the pure titanium implants implanted into alveolar bone, such as during more than three months, with alveolar bone and implant has been completely fair after the second surgery, namely through the special internal structure, the tooth set to the surface of the implant, which is the complete plant repair process.
After dental implantation, patients should first adapt to the process of teeth. When eating, they can first choose soft food for excessive consumption, which can reduce the direct damage to dental implants. At the same time, in the future use process, they should also avoid biting hard objects and food with great toughness.
The best way to clean dental implants is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Floss and interdental brush can be used to clean the dead corners that can not be cleaned.
