A friend with missing teeth wants to have implants, but the doctor said he would wait three months after pulling out the residual root.

Must it be three months after dental implant? It is said that this is determined by the process of traditional dental implant.

Process and cycle of traditional dental implant:

① Check and take CT design pictures and planting plans;

② Remove residual roots and crowns; (1~wait for 3 months for wound recovery)

③ Select implant and implant; (2~3 months waiting for implant and alveolar bone healing)

④ After the implant and alveolar bone fusion: install the abutment;

⑤ Install the crown;

⑥ Complete implantation, postoperative follow-up and maintenance.

From the perspective of the process of dental implant, the whole dental implant cycle requires at least 3-6 months.

Especially in Residual root and crown removal stage and After implant implantation , almost three months.

Why do we have to wait three months for dental implants?

① Residual root and crown removal stage:

After tooth extraction, the alveolar bone, tooth socket and mucosal tissue were in a state of trauma, and the granulation tissue grew poorly.

here The state of alveolar bone tissue is unstable If the implant is implanted too early, the combination of implant and alveolar bone may not be so strong.

Gaps may appear, leading to loosening and falling off of the implant, and more likely to lead to food residues embedded in the gap, stimulating gingivitis and even atrophy.

② Implant stage:

After implant implantation, wait for 2~3 months for wound healing Combination of implant and alveolar bone After that, you can proceed to the next step.

This stage can often make the implant better combine with the alveolar bone, stimulate bone formation, and make the implant have better initial stability.

Immediate and immediate weight-bearing implant technology:

In fact, it does not take three months to implant after tooth extraction——

Immediate weight-bearing implant technique People can have their teeth extracted, planted and crowned on the same day.

In general, Single root tooth, root fracture caused by trauma, root without inflammation in apical zone Suitable for immediate planting.

This real-time implant technology uses special minimally invasive tooth extraction equipment, which can Fully preserve the existing bone mass of customers Implant the artificial root when pulling out the affected tooth.

sure Effectively reduce the physiological absorption of alveolar bone To avoid bone shortage in the implant area and reduce bone grafting or reconstruction.

Generally speaking, the traditional dental implant takes three months, and the period is generally 3-6 months or even longer.

For single or uninfected dental implants, immediate extraction and planting can be considered without waiting for three months.
