Dental implants are metal post normally made from titanium that is inserted into your jaw to acts as your new tooth root. A false porcelain tooth, called a crown, is then screwed into the implant posts as your new tooth to replace a missing tooth.

You can replace missing teeth with dentures, dental bridges or dental implants. In today’s era, uour dentist may recommend dental implants as as the preferred teeth replacement option because unlike dentures and dental bridges, dental implants do not require existing supporting teeth to achor the false prostheses in place. Dental implants do not tamper or affect surrounding adjacent teeth. In terms of function, detnal implants are stronger in taking your chewing bite and feels more natural.

In the past, dental implant is generally a more costly procedure than dentures and dental bridges teeth replacement options. However, with today’s enhanced range of implant brands and systems on the market, the cost of implants is now significantly reduced. Depending on your case and chosen of implant, many implants treatment in Thailand now cost just slightly more than having dental bridges treatment.

Time is another factor of limitation is dental implant treatment require healing period for the implant post to integrate with your jaw bone before your dentist places your final dental prosthese over the implant post. Advancement on less invasive implant techniques and improved material has now cut short complete treatment timing from more than 6 months to just over a few weeks. Osseointegration and the time taken for the implant to fuse with jaw bone will vary wtih each individual depending on the bone and oral condition.

Dental implant treatments are done in 2 phases. During the first phase, the dental implant post is embedded into the jaw bone. Most individuals are usually wary of this surgical stage on possible pain, swelling, and bleeding from surgery. However, the large majority of dental implants are done under local anesthesia whilst you are awake quite easily. In Thailand, you can opt for IV sedation or sleep dentistry under general anesthesia if concerned on pain. At BIDH dental hsopital, a team of registered nurse and licensed anaesthesiologist are on staff to safely and secure adminster dental sedation for patient comfort and having pain-free dental treatments.
