Dental Implant Phuket ( Prothodontics) | AB Dental Clinic Phuket

What is a dental implant procedure like?

This procedure is a team effort between you, your dentist and your periodontist. Your periodontist and dentist will consult with you to determine where and how your implant should be placed. Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant chosen, your periodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

Replacing a Single Tooth - If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it.
Replacing Several Teeth - If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them.
Replacing All of Your Teeth - If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them.
Sinus Augmentation - A key to implant success is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. Sinus augmentation can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.

Recovery Expectations

After removing teeth and following the first stage implant post-surgery visit, your bone and surrounding tissue may be tender, sore, and swollen. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise or activity for the first few days after surgery and continue with your regular daily activities.

Postcare Instructions for Implant Bridge

To prevent accidental food contamination of the wound, only liquid foods may be consumed on the first day. The remainder of the week, semi-liquid (mash) food may be added.
During the first day following surgery, stay away from anything extremely hot or cold to eat or drink.
A normal reaction is mild post-operative swelling. However, please contact a clinic or emergency room if you have excessive swelling, severe pain, or persistent bleeding.
As directed, use antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
It is best to refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.
Until corrections have been made, worn dentures cannot be worn. Early denture insertion could hinder or delay healing.
When the implant site is healing, avoid applying excessive pressure to the area.

Care for Implant Bridge

Cleaning, flossing, and routine dental exams are all part of the maintenance required for dental implants.

Use a soft toothbrush to gently brush the area around the implant after meals and before bed.
At least once or twice a day, floss. To maintain good oral hygiene, use the floss threader or proxy brush to remove plaque from under and around these areas. Plaque and food particles on your teeth and gums can cause infection.
Before going to bed, rinse with fluoride. For at least a minute, vigorously swish the fluoride rinse around in your mouth. Do not swallow any of the rinse, and wait 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything.
Avoid chewing gum, grainy rolls, toffees, and other tough foods in this area.
Visit your dentist for regular, thorough examinations and cleanings.
