Dental implants are very effective in repairing missing teeth. If the financial situation and physical conditions permit, it is a good choice to choose dental implants to repair half of the missing teeth! Today I will educate you on the things you need to know about half-mouth dental implants!

Is there anything I should pay attention to when traveling north to Shenzhen for dental implants?

1. Doctors are more important than implants

Whether it is a single implant, multiple implants, or a half/full mouth implant, the implant is not the most important. The most important thing in doing dental implants is the doctor. The doctor's skills first determine whether the dental implant will be successful. A key factor in whether your life span will be long. Poor doctor's skills can lead to undesirable effects such as loosening of the implant and movement of the abutment after implantation. Especially for half-mouth/full-mouth implants and involving bite reconstruction, doctors who are not experienced enough and skilled enough cannot do it. And many people have a misunderstanding: they think that any dentist can do dental implants. Not so. Dental implants require very high technical skills from doctors. Doctors who have undergone professional dental implant training and have dental implant qualifications are required to perform dental implant surgery first. Secondly, it is not enough for a dental implant doctor to have good qualifications. If the doctor has not experienced a large number of surgical cases, it is inevitable that the implant will be biased, crooked, and even lead to infection and inflammation, which will affect the effect of the dental implant.

2. Half-mouth dental implants do not depend on how many teeth are missing.

Implant treatment is mainly aimed at restoring chewing function. For people who are missing many implants, often only 4-6 implants are enough. These implants are like bridge piers that are connected together to form a complete structure. With a bridge, an entire row of 10-14 teeth can be restored. Currently, there are two main implant methods for half-mouth/full-mouth dental implants:

(1) All-on-4: Four implants are implanted into the alveolar bone. The two roots of the posterior teeth are designed in a slash-type mechanical pattern, which can withstand strong chewing forces for a long time. The disadvantage is that if one implant is damaged, the remaining three cannot be stabilized, so they need to be removed and surgically repaired again.

(2) All-on-6: 6 implants are implanted through the slash-type mechanical method. Relatively speaking, its stability will be better. If 6 implants are implanted and 1 implant is damaged, The remaining 5 implants can still be supported.
