What are the conditions for dental implantation? There are several stages of dental implantation.

Dental implants are not suitable for everyone. Before you think about it, you should ask yourself whether you are suitable for it. Dental implants are divided into several stages. Let’s learn about it together below.

1. Loss of front teeth

If you use removable dentures, you need to use clasps or bases, which will affect the appearance and pronunciation. Choosing dental implants will make your teeth as beautiful as naturally grown teeth, completely avoiding the troubles caused by dentures.

2. There are no real teeth behind the missing teeth

At this time, no matter which method is used, it is not ideal, and dental implants have the best restoration effect.

3. Full or partial tooth loss

If removable dentures are used for restoration, the upper and lower alveolar bones will shrink severely with age, and the dentures may shift or tilt due to tongue movement and chewing, damaging the mucosa and causing oral mucosal ulcers. Long-term oral mucosal ulcers can lead to oral mucosal cancer. Dental implants can completely avoid the above situation.

1. Perform preoperative examination and preoperative treatment, such as removing loose teeth and residual roots, treating tooth decay and periodontal disease, etc. The time required for this stage varies depending on the individual's situation.

2. Implant surgery: First take an X-ray, do a routine blood test, and design a treatment plan, which takes about 3 days. The implant is implanted into the bone and the stitches are removed 7-12 days later. A temporary crown or temporary denture is then made according to the situation.

3. After 3 to 6 months, replace or install permanent crowns or dentures. Permanent crowns are made of porcelain materials, which have excellent texture, realistic color, comfort and beauty, satisfactory restoration function, and durability.

The implantation of missing teeth is mainly determined by the condition of the alveolar bone. Time is not a hard indicator for dental implantation. So whether a tooth can be implanted after ten years of missing teeth depends on the condition of the alveolar bone after ten years of missing teeth.

1. Alveolar bone atrophy occurs, and bone grafting is needed for implantation;

2. The adjacent teeth will shift. If the teeth are missing for a long time, it will also increase the difficulty of dental implants;

3. The elongation of the opposing teeth will also increase the difficulty of dental implants. Therefore, once there are missing teeth, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
