What is immediate dental implant placement? Immediate implant placement is when an implant is placed at the same time as the natural tooth is extracted. It was first reported in 1976. It has similar high success rate as traditional delayed implant placement. The main benefits of immediate implant placement are reduced treatment time and number of visits. If immediate loading is possible, tooth extraction , implant and temporary crown can be completed on the same day (same

Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry and the replacement of teeth since Dr. P. Brånemark first placed modern dental implants in his patients in 1965. Dental implants are very successful if they are placed following basic principles of dental implant surgery. One of these principles is regarding mesial-distal positioning of implants. There should be at least 1.5 mm of space between the implant and any adjacent teeth, and 3 mm of space between adjacent implants. O

Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting both soft and hard tissue surrounding an osseointegrated dental implant in function. Similar to a natural tooth, bacteria can build up on the base of the implant, below the gum line. Over time, the bacteria irritate the gum tissue, causing it to become inflamed, damaging the tissue and if not caught early, causing the bone structure below the implant to deteriorate. Peri-implant diseases are classified into t

Tooth can not be saved and want dental implant to replace it in the future. Will there be enough bone after tooth extraction and bone resorption? Is there anything we can do to try to keep as much bone as possible and make the future implant straightforward? The answer is dental alveolar ridge preservation. In this case, the top front tooth had root fracture and periapical abscess. It's unrestorable and a dental implant option was chosen to replace the missing tooth in t

We did sinus lift surgery 6 months ago because there was not enough bone for dental implants . Now it's time to check if the sinus augmentation and immediate implant placement is successful. The intra-oral picture showed the implant was nice and solid. No inflammation. The surrounding soft tissue was normal. The gum was nice and pink. The x-ray showed the implant was perfectly positioned and the sinus grafting was successful. The implant passed 30Ncm torque test. Two w

Single dental implant - the best way to replace a missing tooth! No cutting adjacent teeth like dental bridges . More comfortable than dentures . Even a single dental implant costs a bit more than other options, but it's worthy when you consider comfort, keeping tooth structures and oral hygiene maintenance .

In this case, there are two front teeth missing with limited space. The gap is not wide enough for 2 implants and one implant supported cantilever bridge will be the best option. Computer guided implant surgery performed after 3D planning - flapless, minimal trauma and quick recovery. 3 months after implant surgery, showed complete osteo-integration. Cantilever bridge inserted. Now the patient can smile again and also it's easy to floss and maintain oral hygiene . #D

The implant was placed immediately after sinus augmentation 6 months ago. Now it's time to check it out. The sinus lift and implant surgery was very successful clinically and radiographically. Ready for impression to make the crown. The crown was inserted as the final implant restoration. #DentalImplants

When a number of teeth are missing, multiple dental implants are the best option to give you the feeling of real teeth and easy maintenance of oral hygiene. In this case, all the premolars and molars are missing, which means there is no back teeth to chew on. A lower partial denture was made but the patient couldn't stand it because of lack of stability and comfort. Eventually three implants resolved all the problems. Three months after implant surgery , the intergrated im

A patient with a missing upper first molar requested to replace the missing tooth. On examination, we found an upper left first molar missing and root caries on the second molar, which meant the second molar was unrestorable and a dental bridge would not be an option. The options left would be a removable denture or a dental implant . The patient chose the dental implant because he didn't like dentures. After the x-ray was taken, it showed that it would not be a simple and

Implant supported bridge is the best option to replace these lower front missing teeth, especially when there is not enough space to place one implant for one missing tooth. This video shows the complete treatment from the computer guided implant surgery to the final implant supported bridge restoration. The final result is satisfying and missing teeth were replaced functionally and aesthetically. #veneerscrownsandbridges #DentalImplants

Sinus lift is also called sinus augmentation. It is surgery to add bone to upper jaw, specially in molar and premolar area. The sinus membrane will be "lifted" to make room for bone grafting. From CBCT , we can see the sinus floor was too low and the remaining bone was not enough for implant. In this case, lateral window technique was used. Sinus membrane lining was raised and granules of bone-graft material was packed into the space after a small, oval window was opened in

Single dental implant is the most common dental implant. It's the best way to replace a missing tooth compared with dentures and bridges . It's the most comfortable and easiest to maintain as well. It won't damage any other adjacent teeth either. Just feel like your real tooth. This video shows a single dental implant case from start to finish, including CBCT planning, 3D printed surgical guide, computer guided implant surgery and final crown restoration. The picture s
