4. What are the major differences between
general surgery and guided implant surgery?
Ordinary implant surgery requires to wait
2 to 4 months for gingival bones to be
healed after extracting tooth and another
3 to 6 months to wait for adhesion.
It also takes one to two months longer to
place the implant crown.
On the other hand, guided surgery
eliminates those factors that can make
patients uncomfortable, and shortens
the length of the treatment period.
And the fixture of dental implants are
placed at precise locations and depths,
it is safe and long-lasting.
5. What is the difference in pain and
recovery period between guided implant
surgery and general implant surgery?
Existing implant surgery requires a direct
vision of the internal structure of the gingiva,
so it is necessary to open the flap 10 mm or
more therefore it cause a lot of bleeding and
recovery is slow. However, if you use
the surgical guide, it is possible to place
the implant in the position and the depth
determined according to the guide without
opening the flap so you can minimize
the damage to the blood vessels and nerves.
6. What are the proper care and precautions
after dental implant surgery?
Dental Implant care is very important
because more than 90% of the implant
failures are due to impregnated periodontal
disease caused by poor brushing and germ
management around the implant area.
With the same principle as the chronic
periodontitis, the dental implant area can
also be attacked by bacteria that cause
peri-implantitis.
It is important to visit the dental clinic
regularly to see if there is any periodontal
disease. However, the most important
thing is to manage your oral hygiene
condition and to abandon bad habits
(tobacco, sweets).
7. Please give a word to those who are
considering dental implant.
If your teeth are not yet in a state of loss,
it is better to make sure that your natural
teeth are in a state where you can use
them more. If you can save your remaining
teeth without removing them,
you need to figure out if there is a possibility
of other treatments rather than dental implants.
And in some cases, bone grafting is also
necessary for dental implant,
therefore it is necessary to find an
experienced and skilled specialist for
accurate diagnosis.
So far, you’ve learned about
dental implants.
We hope that you will be able to restore
your teeth have good quality of life with
proper dental implant treatment,
as well as the fact that professional
medical staffs are more important than
implant surgery and cost.
