Planting Permanent Porcelain Teeth at Home Dental

Dental implantation, also known as permanent ceramic tooth implantation, offers numerous outstanding advantages such as preventing jaw bone loss, fully restoring chewing function, and enhancing aesthetic appearance. At Home Dental Clinic, the cost of ceramic tooth implantation includes expenses for the implant post, abutment, ceramic tooth crown, and accompanying services.

Why are dental implants called permanent porcelain teeth?

Implant dentistry is currently the most optimal technique for restoring missing teeth. Not only does it ensure safety and high treatment efficiency, but also provides comprehensive restoration of chewing function and aesthetic appearance, even better than natural teeth.
An implant tooth consists of three parts similar to a natural tooth (implant post, abutment, and porcelain crown) with a solid structure that is not susceptible to decay like natural teeth.
During the implantation process, a titanium implant post is inserted deep into the jawbone, which helps transmit forces to stimulate the jawbone, promoting bone growth and connecting firmly to the implant post. This results in a complete restoration of chewing function, and the more the implant tooth is used to chew, the more firmly it is anchored, preventing bone loss, gum recession, bite collapse, sagging skin around the mouth, and other related issues.
Dental implants are considered the most optimal technique for restoring lost teeth. They provide safe and highly effective treatment, as well as comprehensive functional and aesthetic restoration, even surpassing natural teeth in some cases. The implant consists of three parts similar in structure to natural teeth (the implant post, abutment, and porcelain crown), with a sturdy structure that is resistant to decay and other physiological dental issues.
When the implant is surgically placed, the titanium implant post is firmly embedded into the jawbone, transmitting forces to the bone and stimulating bone growth, ensuring stable and long-lasting support for the implant. This fully restores the ability to chew, and the more the implant is used for chewing, the stronger it becomes, preventing bone loss, gum recession, bite collapse, and facial sagging.
Dental implants can last for more than 25 years and can even last a lifetime if properly cared for and maintained as instructed by the dentist. In addition, dental implants can be used in all tooth positions and for all cases of tooth loss. The placement of dental implants also does not affect the surrounding teeth, as opposed to other methods such as bridges and removable dentures.
For these reasons, dental implants are highly regarded by dental professionals for their ability to restore missing teeth and are commonly referred to as permanent porcelain teeth on implants.

The historical origin of dental implants

Many historical studies have shown various traces of dental implantation dating back to ancient times. People used materials and tools from daily life, such as bamboo, metal pins, animal bones, shell, and ivory, to replace missing teeth.
Around 1000 BC, ancient Egyptians, and South Americans replaced lost teeth with ivory, shell or ground-up wood. From the 6th century BC, ancient civilizations of the Maya began to explore something to replace missing teeth, improving their ability to chew.
But it wasn’t until the early 19th century that dental implant techniques were researched and developed with materials such as gold and platinum, but the success rate was very modest.
It wasn’t until 1952 that the famous Swedish medical researcher and head of the research team at Lund University, Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, successfully discovered titanium as a dental implant material. Through many experiments and observing the compatibility process, he recorded the first successful dental implant surgery in 1965. After 40 years, the implanted tooth still existed and functioned well, which opened up a new era for the development of dental implant technology.
Today, dental implant techniques have been continuously developing with complete implant structures, advanced machinery and equipment, and simplified implantation techniques that are convenient for both patients and dentists.

Is implanting permanent porcelain teeth on an Implant painful?

The implantation process itself is not painful, as it is performed under local or general anesthesia to numb the mouth completely. In fact, implant placement is often easier than extracting a tooth.
During the implantation process, patients will not feel pain, especially if the surgery is performed on healthy gum tissue and jawbone. After completion, patients may experience mild discomfort, but it is usually less significant than the pain associated with tooth extraction.
However, whether the implantation process is painful or not depends largely on the patient’s post-operative care and the skill of the dentist. If the implant is placed incorrectly, the wrong technique is used, or the nerves and adjacent teeth are affected, pain and discomfort may occur after the implantation.
Therefore, when considering permanent dental implantation using the implantation method, patients should research and select reputable specialized dental clinics with highly skilled dental professionals to avoid pain and unwanted complications.

How long does it take to place permanent porcelain teeth on an Implant?

Typically, the time it takes to place an implant post in the jawbone is only about 30-40 minutes per tooth, and it can even be faster depending on the condition of the patient’s mouth and the skill of the dentist. After the implant is placed, it needs time to integrate with the jawbone for about 3-6 months. During this period, the patient will return to the dental office to have the abutment and crown attached.
For those who choose to have full arch restoration with All-On-4 or All-On-6 implant-supported dentures, the entire process can be completed in just three days. For patients with good bone quality and favorable conditions (not too soft, not too hard, no bone deficiencies), implant placement can be done immediately, saving time.
After the implant procedure, it is important for patients to take good care of their oral health, follow a balanced diet, and maintain good oral hygiene to protect the newly implanted area from infection and inflammation. Patients should avoid smoking, alcohol, and other stimulants that may delay the healing process. Regular follow-up appointments with the dentist should also be scheduled to ensure proper healing and maintenance.

Cases where permanent porcelain teeth can be planted on Implant

Dental implants can be placed in any location in the mouth, offering a safe and effective solution for restoring missing teeth and improving both aesthetics and chewing function. Before undergoing any orthodontic treatment, a comprehensive health evaluation is crucial to assess whether the patient is suitable for implant placement and to avoid potential complications.

Specifically, recommended candidates for dental implant placement include individuals with severely decayed, infected, or damaged teeth that require extraction and prompt treatment. Patients with congenital missing teeth, as well as those who have lost one or more teeth due to trauma or other causes, are also good candidates for implants. Additionally, patients who have previously had poorly fitting or damaged dental prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, may benefit from implant placement as a more optimal solution.

Determining the most suitable candidates for permanent dental implant placement involves various criteria, including overall health and well-being, in addition to the extent of tooth loss. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek the advice and guidance of a reputable dental professional who can perform a thorough evaluation and provide expert recommendations.

Schools contraindicated to implant permanent porcelain teeth on Implant

Individuals who are suitable for dental implant placement must meet requirements for both oral and general health. For the following cases, dentists advise against implant placement to ensure treatment safety:

• Individuals who are under 18 years old as their jawbone and bone structure have not fully developed yet. Implant placement at this stage can cause severe pain, and worse, the implant post may move and damage the jawbone and surrounding tooth structures.
  • Individuals with chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and uncontrolled diabetes cannot undergo implant surgery. Blood circulation in patients with these conditions is often unstable, which significantly affects the integration of the jawbone and implant post, leading to a prolonged healing process.
  • Individuals with mental disorders or unstable emotions that make them prone to panic attacks should not receive dental implant treatment. Being nervous or anxious all the time can create obstacles to collaboration with the dentist.
  • Pregnant women should also avoid implant placement as X-rays and antibiotics used during the implant process may harm the fetus.
  • Individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy or who have recently completed treatment cannot integrate an implant post, leading to implant failure. Therefore, they should not undergo implant placement for safety reasons.
  • Individuals addicted to tobacco, alcohol, or stimulants cannot receive dental implants. Patients with these conditions must stop using tobacco, alcohol, and stimulants for at least 1-2 months before and after the implant surgery. If not, the implant post will be rejected, and the procedure will completely fail.
  • If the jawbone is deficient or inflamed, the process of connecting the jawbone to the implant post to create stability is challenging. Implant placement under these circumstances will require removal after some time due to implant failure. If patients still want dental implant placement, the best course of action is to treat any existing inflammation or infection and perform bone grafting before the implant surgery, as recommended by the dentist.

4 methods of planting permanent porcelain teeth on Implant at Home Dental

The treatment of dental implants ensures safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness when you have a basic understanding of the various methods of permanently implanting dental crowns on implants. Dr. Care – Implant Clinic specializes in dental implantation for middle-aged individuals in Vietnam and applies four methods to restore missing teeth through implantation, helping you enjoy a fulfilling life with a comfortable smile, enjoyable eating, and youthful appearance.

Implant permanent porcelain teeth on a full-jaw Implant

The All On-4 (All-On-Four) or All On-6 (All On-Six) Implant techniques are considered modern methods for restoring the ability to chew and achieving effective aesthetics for people who have lost all of their teeth or have a lack of bone in the posterior tooth region. All On-4 or All On-6 replace all missing teeth by implanting 4 or 6 implant posts in each jaw. The implanted posts act as real tooth roots, supporting the denture or fixed porcelain teeth on a CAD/CAM Titanium bar.
All On-4 or All On-6 full arch dental implants are recommended for most cases where individuals have lost all their teeth, lost multiple teeth, or suffered extensive tooth decay due to periodontal disease.

Implant permanent porcelain teeth on the Implant to replace 1 tooth

For adults, losing a tooth is a concerning issue as leaving a missing tooth gap for a long time can lead to serious consequences such as bone resorption, gum recession, tooth misalignment, and even more tooth loss.
Dental implant treatment involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth. Over time, the titanium post will fuse with the jawbone and then a dental crown will be attached to complete the implant procedure.
Patients with missing teeth will have a new tooth that looks and functions like a real tooth, preventing further bone loss and preserving the adjacent teeth.

Implant permanent porcelain teeth on the Implant to replace a few teeth

When adults lose one or more teeth, it can be a significant concern because leaving gaps for an extended period of time can lead to serious consequences such as jawbone loss, gum recession, tooth misalignment, and even further tooth loss. While removable dentures or fixed dental bridges are common solutions, dentists often advise patients about the drawbacks and risks associated with these methods. From a medical perspective and based on real-life treatment outcomes, restoring missing teeth with dental implant placement remains the optimal solution for cases involving the loss of one or more teeth. The process, technique, and timeline for implanting dental implants for a few missing teeth are similar to those for a single missing tooth. However, the number of implants required is not always proportional to the number of missing teeth. Dentists rely on X-ray results to diagnose the extent of tooth loss and bone density in patients, and to determine the number of implants needed. The number of implant fixtures placed could be:
• 2 implants to replace 4 teeth;
• 2 implants to replace 3 teeth;
• 3 implants to replace 5 teeth, and so on.

Implant permanent porcelain teeth on the Instant Restorative Implant

Typically, after placing Implant posts, patients need to wait for 3-6 months for the Implants to become stable and fully integrate with the bone before proceeding with the placement of dental crowns. However, with the development of Implant technology and techniques, immediate restoration on Implants can be performed within 72 hours after post-placement.
After placement, dental crowns on Implants can fully function in chewing, helping patients with missing teeth to regain their ability to eat comfortably.
To perform immediate Implant restoration, Implant posts must have appropriate thread designs, spiral surfaces that achieve rapid and strong bone integration, and good load-bearing capacity. Some Implant post types that meet the requirements for immediate restoration include Straumann Implants (Switzerland), Dentium Implants (USA), and TioLogic Implants (Germany).
