RESTORE NEAR-NATURAL CHEWING FUNCTION WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS
Last update 09/27/2024 - 17:58
Implant dentistry is a method of replacing teeth by placing an artificial material into the jawbone to create a foundation for a prosthetic tooth.
Implants are typically made from titanium alloys, a highly durable metal that is well accepted by the body. When placed into the jawbone, the implant material integrates with the bone through a process known as osseointegration. This process takes about 3 to 6 months, during which the jawbone bonds tightly and integrates onto the surface of the implant.
Thus, the osseointegration of the implant material with the jawbone is crucial for restoring chewing function and providing a confident smile for the patient. If this process fails, the implant may become loose or fail to bond with the jawbone, leading to issues such as implant loosening, infection, or swelling.
Dr. Luke Denness emphasizes that the success of this integration process heavily depends on the expertise of the doctor, the supporting equipment, and the quality of the implant material.
At Hanoi French Hospital, we combine advanced technology with personalized treatment plans for each patient:
- An internationally trained team of doctors is ready to offer modern surgical treatment options, from single implants to full-arch solutions like all-on-4 or all-on-6.
- The iTero 3D scanning system and CBCT X-ray system provide sharp, multi-dimensional images.
- We use high quality and reputable dental materials for bone grafting and implant placement. Our doctors use the Zimmer Biomet 3i implant system from the USA, a trusted brand widely used in many countries.
- In cases where bone density needs to be increased before implant placement, the doctor will use materials such as Xenograft Geistlich Bio-Oss synthetic bone granules, which facilitates future bone integration and helps restore chewing function to near-natural levels.
