Dental Implants

When teeth are lost from teeth extraction, breakage or accidents, it affects daily life including chewing of food and a lack of confidence when smiling and meeting people. Teeth may be replaced with various types of prostheses. Dental implants is one of the most effective and long term treatment solution to replace missing teeth.

Dental implants are normally made of titanium that is compatible to the biology of our body. It is strong, safe, long-lasting. Our dental implant center at thailand dental clinic is the first of its kind with a fully digital dental implant prosthese laboratory that was able to fabricate custom abutment for implant. A digital flow and computerized systems are used to build all zirconia crowns over implants providing metal-free and natural-looking aesthetics. Shades of ceramics may be chosen to closely match surrounding teeth.

What Is a Dental Implant

Dental Implant Stages

The dental implant process is done in 2 stages:

First Stage – Dental Implant Surgery : surgical placement of implant post
Second Stage – Dental Prosthese : build prostheses over dental implant post

There is conventionally a healing period of approximately 2 to 6 months or more between the first and second stage of the dental implant treatment process. The osseointegration healing period is dependent on your condition of jawbone and type of implant used.

If there is insufficient bone, bone grafts for dental implant may be recommended:

major block bonegraft may be done before the 1st stage dental implant post is started
minor bone grafts for dental implants may be done at either the 1st stage or second stage

Dental Implant Faqs

How long does a dental implant procedure take?

Most conventional dental implant treatment takes around 2 to 6 months for completion. Dental implants are typically done in 2 separate stages.During the first stage, the implant post is inserted and left to heal in jaw bone. After the implant post is securely embedded in the jaw bone, the prosthese or false teeth is constructed and fitted over the implant posts.

During stage one on implant post surgery, normally only 2 to 3 visits are made across 5 to 7 days :

First visit – 1 hour : x-ray,consultation and treatment planning Second visit – varying 1 to 3 hours on number of implants done: implant post placement Third visit – 30 mintues : re-check and stitch off At stage two for prosthese, the number of visits varies with the complexity of the prosthese – single crown, bridge implants or full dentures, full bridge, hybrid all-on-4 dentures.

Can implants really be done in one day?

The term one day implants or same day implants is commonly mistaken that your dental implant treatment may be completed in one day. One day implants commonly refers the concept whereby an existing tooth may be removed and the dental implant post inserted during the same surgical visit. It does not mean that the whole implant procedure is completed in one visit as additional visits will be required to make the false teeth over implant that require labwork and time.

Even if tooth impression is taken prior or immediate after implant post placement without queue waiting time for dental labs, the prostheses (false tooth to be palced over implant post) will still need at least 1 to 2 working days for a strong and good quality prosthese to be baked, cooled down and layered asethetically for you.

Dental clinics provide customized abutments and all ceramic zirconia crowns for Straumann implants that may be done digitally. Immediate implants and immediate load crowns are done only for selective cases and you should always check that your implantologist is well-trained and well-experienced. Any dentist in Thailand is licensed and can always claim to perform same day implants, but at this may be at your expense on taking the risk of implant success or failure.

Can I get a teeth transplant instead of a dental implant?

Teeth transplant refers to the surgical movement of a tooth from one location in the mouth to another placement. At this point, our thailand dental clinics do not do teeth transplants due to various limitation on techniques. Dental implant, whereby a titanium or roxolid implant post is placed into jaw and a false tooth crown over the post is still the preferred and recommended method. Havingt dental implant has the advantage that there will be no further tooth decay that transplated or natural teeth potentially faces.

How much is a tooth implant price?

A tooth implant price varies with the implant brand as well as the implant range within each implant brand. Kitchaclinic implant dental clinic uses only top global implant brands for our implant cases. This ensures patients who are located internationally will have access to component parts and their local dentist will be familar with the implant brands should any post care or issues occur.

The top 3 implant brands used at our thailand dental clinic include :

Nobel Biocare Straumann SIC Swiss Within the above implant brands, there are various implant ranges. The implant range is made with varying surface properties and materials. You normally pay a higher price for active surface implants that has added coating for better osseointegration commonly recommended for one day implants. Roxolid implant post from Straumann (made of ceramic and titnanium) tends to be more costly than the standard titanium implant post.

Tooth implant price and payment are typically divided into 2 installment stages:

First stage implant post surgery : paying for the implant post Second stage prosthese : paying for the false teeth or prosthese that is retended and placed over the implant posts

Consult with our prosthodontist when deciding on which implant brand and range is best suited for you.
