Having white and tidy teeth is everyone's dream, and dental implant is one of the ways to realize this dream. When faced with the problem of tooth loss, whether caused by accident or disease, implant surgery can bring us new hope. Before starting the operation, understanding the price is a key step. This article will introduce the cost, function and efficacy of dental implant in detail to help you understand this plastic technology more comprehensively.

1、 What is the cost of dental implant?

Dental implant is a common dental operation to replace missing teeth. In the People's Republic of China, the cost of a tooth implant varies depending on the region, hospital, doctor's experience and patient's personal situation. The cost is between 5000 yuan and 30000 yuan. This includes the cost of surgery, the cost of bone graft materials and the cost of subsequent tooth repair. If additional dental restorations, such as crowns or dentures, are required, the cost will increase accordingly. Before you decide to implant teeth, you are advised to consult a professional dentist to understand the specific cost and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

2、 Function and effect of dental implant

Dental implant can not only restore your occlusal function, enable you to chew food freely, but also improve your digestion and absorption effect. More importantly, it can beautify your facial appearance, fill the missing tooth space, and let you regain your confident smile. Dental implant can also maintain the stability of adjacent teeth and avoid the movement and inclination of adjacent teeth. The crown and artificial root of the implanted teeth can be fused with the alveolar bone, providing stable support, making the new teeth more solid and durable.

3、 Will dental implant surgery hurt?

In dental implant surgery, the local part is usually used to alleviate the pain of patients. The pain of the operation itself is low. Some discomfort and pain may occur after the operation, which is a normal physiological reaction. You don't have to worry. The doctor will prescribe medicine to help you relieve pain. Within a few days after the operation, you may feel some swelling, gum pain or discomfort, which is a normal healing process. Following the doctor's nursing advice, such as correct oral hygiene, diet adjustment and drug use, will help reduce pain and promote recovery.

4、 How long can dental implants last?

Dental implant is a durable solution. If it is well maintained and daily cared, it can be used for many years or even for a lifetime. Generally speaking, 10 or even 20 years later, it can still maintain a good state. Its life span is affected by many factors, including personal oral hygiene habits, eating habits, smoking and denture use. If you can take good care of your implant teeth, clean and check them regularly, and follow the advice of the dentist, then the artificial root part (usually made of titanium material) can support your crown (beautiful part) for a long time. Regular inspection and maintenance at the dentist is an important step to maintain the long-term effect of dental implantation.

5、 Will the teeth fall off after implantation?

Generally, the implanted teeth will not fall off. When the dental implant operation is successfully completed, the implant teeth and the patient's alveolar bone will gradually merge into a stable whole. This fusion process is called osseointegration, which can ensure the stability of teeth in the mouth. As long as the operation is correct and the patient follows the care advice of the dentist and maintains good oral hygiene habits, the dental implant can be firmly left in the patient's mouth. Just like natural teeth, it is necessary to conduct regular oral examination and deal with any problems that may affect their stability in time to ensure that they remain in the mouth for a long time.

To sum up, whether you are facing the problem of missing teeth or want to have a more beautiful smile, you need to pay attention to your own oral health and health care. Through correct understanding and understanding, reasonable use of scientific dental care knowledge and technology can obtain long-term stable beautiful and healthy smiles!
