About Dental implants

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

Dental implants are a restorative method for missing or damaged teeth. An artificial tooth root is implanted into the jawbone, and a crown is fitted on top. They can restore single, multiple, or complete edentulism, replacing traditional removable dentures and fixed bridges. Many patients have insufficient bone volume or insufficient maxillary bone height; advanced technology can expand the applicability of these implants and restore chewing function.

Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

1. Digital surgical guide minimally invasive implantation : Based on CBCT 3D data, the surgical guide is designed to accurately locate the implant site. During the operation, important anatomical structures such as the inferior alveolar nerve and maxillary sinus are avoided, achieving precise and minimally invasive implantation. Combined with AI-assisted implant planning, it significantly improves the safety of implant surgery and the long-term success rate of restoration.
2. Immediate implantation technique : Implants are placed simultaneously with tooth extraction under sterile conditions, shortening the overall treatment cycle and reducing the number of surgeries and visits. This technique should be performed in a standardized manner within the indications of good soft tissue and bone conditions and no acute infection. If necessary, it can be combined with temporary restoration to transition the gingival morphology.
3. Maxillary sinus lift : This procedure elevates the maxillary sinus floor using internal or external lift techniques, simultaneously implanting bone graft material to address insufficient bone height in the maxillary posterior region. This creates sufficient conditions for implantation in the area, effectively expanding the indications for implant surgery. It also creates adequate bone conditions for posterior tooth implantation.
4. GBR-guided bone regeneration : This technique uses absorbable barrier membranes and bone graft materials to create an osteogenic space around the implant and repair local bone defects. It is the most commonly used bone augmentation technique (GBR) in clinical practice. It can improve bone volume in the implant area and long-term stability after repair. Regular follow-up examinations are required after surgery to evaluate the efficacy and safety.
5. Vertical and horizontal bone augmentation : For complex cases with severe deficiencies in jawbone width or height, vertical or horizontal bone augmentation techniques such as block bone grafting and distraction osteogenesis are used to reconstruct the alveolar ridge morphology, enabling those who were originally ineligible for implantation to obtain fixed restoration conditions. Postoperative follow-up examinations are required to assess the efficacy and safety.
6. All-on 4/6 Implant : For patients with edentulous jaws, a small number of implants are placed at an angle to avoid important anatomical structures, achieving immediate loading and full-mouth fixed restoration (All-on 4/6), significantly eliminating the foreign body feeling and inconvenience of removable dentures.
7. Soft tissue augmentation : The attached gingiva in the implant area is thickened by free gingival grafting or connective tissue grafting, which improves the gingival contour and aesthetics, while also enhancing the long-term stability of the tissues surrounding the implant and the quality of daily oral hygiene maintenance. Regular follow-up examinations are required after the procedure to assess the efficacy and safety.
8. CBCT 3D Assessment : Preoperative CBCT 3D reconstruction of the jawbone, inferior alveolar nerve canal, maxillary sinus, and other anatomical structures allows for precise assessment of bone volume and surgical risks, providing quantitative and visual scientific basis for surgical procedure selection and implant site design. It is an indispensable preoperative assessment step for precision implantation.
