Dental implants offer one of the best and most natural-looking options to replace missing teeth. We provide Dental Implant and all-on-4 dental implant treatment services in Central Hong Kong.
Dental implants offer one of the best and most natural-looking options to replace missing teeth. It is an artificial tooth root made of titanium which looks like a screw and is both strong and light. The tooth implant is surgically inserted into the jaw to support a replacement tooth. Over time, the jawbone fuses with this titanium implant.
It comprises of three components:
Absolutely Not, like if you have most of your teeth lost in any jaw, you can have ALL on-4 implants.
“All on 4 dental implants” purely means that a full arch of artificial teeth is supported by 4 implants only. This is a suitable restorative solutions for patients who lost all of the teeth on either upper or lower jaw. This is done by inserting 4 to 6 implants (according to the case) and fabricating a supported denture over these implants. For more details, please visit All-on-4 Dental Implants page.

Give you anaesthesia: first they will apply a numbing gel on your gums and then inject the local anesthesia. If you choose to undergo the surgery under sedation or general anaesthesia , your surgeon can provide that too.
They will make an incision over the gum which will help to expose the bone underneath so that your surgeon can place the implant.
Next, they will Prepare the jaw to place the implant screw(root). The surgeon will use special instruments to drill a hole into the jaw just the right size to fit the implant.
Now your surgeon will carefully place the implant in the prepared place.(position)
At last they will reposition the gum in and around the implant and close the incision made with sutures(stitches) and seal the top of implant with cover screw.
If there is enough bone the procedure can also be done flapless with minimum pain and discomfort.
After 6 weeks, when bone has healed, abutment (The connector that supports the crown) is placed on top of the implant. Our dentists will then take a scan impression to make either a crown, denture or bridge to fit on top of the abutment
The initial stability of the implant is more important to determine the success of implant integration. the time allowed to heal varies with the density of bone around the implant and number of implant.
When bone has healed abutment is placed on top of the implant and our dentist will take scan impression to make either a crown, denture or bridge to fit on top of the abutment.
If your jaw bone isn’t thick enough then you may need bone grafting before or during implant surgery.
Bone grafting is a procedure where bone tissue or similar substances are used to repair and rebuild the damaged bone. A bone graft can create a more solid base for implant. We use BIO-OSS(from switzerland)
For an implant to osseointegrate, it needs to be surrounded with a healthy quantity of bone for it to survive long-term.
Bone graft options may include a natural bone graft(taken from another location from your body) and a synthetic bone graft(bone substitute material).
Some cases you may need only a minor bone-graft which can be done during implant surgery but in some cases, It may take several months for new bone to grow to support a dental implant after bone grafting.

Some people wonder, why dental implant surgery take so long but in reality it’s not a lengthy procedure. Dental implant placement procedure can be done as fast as in a single visit, But normally it is divided into following visits:
Consultation: CT scan and X-ray are done to check if you’re suitable for the dental implants procedure or not. Thus, the dentist will carefully plan according to the bone available and will make sure that none of the existing nerves get harmed.
Treatment: Once deemed suitable, the dentist will surgically place an implant. This takes around 15-20 minutes for one implant.
Once your gums have healed completely after the procedure, you’ll take care of your dental implant – supported teeth just like you would take care of natural teeth. That includes regular brushing and flossing. You should continue to have regular dental checkups so that your dentist can monitor the oral health of your gums and the condition of your dental implants.
-peri -implantitis is a condition which may occur around implant due to bacteria ,plaque deposits which if left untreated can lead to implant failure.
-Inadequate bone support: if there is insufficient amount of healthy bone around the implant that may lead to implant failure over time
-Overloading or excessive chewing force: dental implant is designed to withstand normal chewing and bitting fore but is excessive and uneven forces like teeth grinding(bruxism), uneven bite can overload the implant and surrounding bone which over the time can lead to bone loss .
-certain conditions such as osteoporosis ,uncontrolled diabetes, smoking can affect implant health long term.
Implants are meant to serve as long-term, tooth-replacement options for false teeth. A successful implant that is done properly and taken care of with good oral hygiene can last a lifetime. The documented success of our implant is 35 years with a 95% success rate.
