Dental Implants in Hong Kong

High-quality dental implants can last 10 to 20 years or more with proper care. International studies show that implant success rates exceed 95%, and leading brands such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare demonstrate particularly stable long-term performance. Maintaining good oral hygiene, regular scaling, and routine dental check-ups can significantly extend the lifespan of your implants.

A standard dental implant procedure takes 2-3 months, involving 3-4 visits, including implantation, healing (6-12 weeks), and crown placement. All-on-4 can achieve temporary denture installation within a day, with the exact duration depending on jawbone conditions and treatment complexity.

Dental implants are considered a very safe and reliable procedure, with relatively low risks. However, in rare cases, complications such as infection, gum inflammation, or implant loosening may occur. When performed by an experienced dentist and followed by proper post-operative care and hygiene, these risks can be minimized. Choosing a well-equipped clinic with strict surgical protocols is key to ensuring treatment safety.

The main drawbacks of dental implants are the longer treatment duration (typically 3 to 6 months) and the higher cost compared to other tooth replacement options. Additionally, patients with insufficient jawbone density may require supplementary procedures such as bone grafting, which can increase both treatment time and expense. However, compared with traditional dentures or bridges, implants offer superior stability, comfort, and aesthetics—making them a more cost-effective long-term solution.

Not necessarily! For multiple or full-mouth tooth loss, the All-on-4 implant technique requires only 4-6 strategically placed implants to securely support a full set of custom dentures. This innovative method reduces the number of implants, lowering dental implant costs, while ensuring chewing function and aesthetics, making it especially suitable for complex cases.

Thanks to modern medical technology, dental implant surgery is virtually painless. We use a local anesthetic gel and injection anesthesia, offering mild sedation or general anesthesia based on your needs, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. Post-surgery swelling may occur for 1-2 days, which can be relieved with ice packs and pain medication, with a recovery period far shorter than traditional surgery.

No need to worry if your jawbone thickness is insufficient! We offer Swiss BIO-OSS bone grafting material, a safe and biocompatible solution that promotes bone regeneration and enhances implant stability. During the consultation, we will assess your bone volume with 3D scanning to ensure a successful procedure.

Yes, but the care is simple and manageable! Brush twice daily, use antibacterial floss or a water flosser to clean around the implant, and have a professional dental check-up every 6 months. Avoid biting hard objects (such as nuts or ice) to protect the implant, and maintain healthy habits (such as quitting smoking or controlling blood sugar) to ensure long-term results.

All-on-4 implants are designed for full-mouth restoration, requiring only 4-6 implants to support a full set of teeth, making it more cost-effective than the traditional method of one implant per missing tooth. The recovery period is short (1-2 days), and it eliminates the need for multiple visits.

Generally, dental implants are suitable for adults over 18 with fully developed bones, though age itself is not a limiting factor. Elderly patients or those with chronic conditions (such as diabetes) require a professional assessment to ensure their health is suitable. During the consultation, we will provide recommendations based on your specific condition.
