ไม่ดูแลสุขภาพฟัน ระวังต้องทำ “รากฟันเทียม”

Oral and dental health is something everyone should pay attention to. Did you know? The mouth is home to many types of bacteria. If we eat and do not clean our teeth, many oral and dental problems may follow. Moreover, if left untreated, it can cause tooth decay, leading to infection of the pulp cavity, which may require extraction of the tooth, leaving only the gums. Eventually, you may have to rely on “dental implants”.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Why get “dental implants”?</h2>
Dental implants are a method of replacing lost teeth with fixed replacements. Implant placement involves surgery to insert a metal alloy or framework into the jawbone beneath the gums to replace the lost natural tooth root. This method provides an effective, long-lasting replacement that feels closest to natural teeth.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Safe with medically approved materials</h2>
The material used for dental implants is grade 4 titanium metal (medical grade), which research supports as safe and biocompatible with human tissue. At the same time, it is strong, durable, able to withstand chewing forces, and maintains its shape well. It is considered a highly trusted medical material for safety.
<h2 style="color: #008080;">3 important parts of a dental implant</h2>
<ol>
<li>Implant fixture made from titanium metal, shaped like a tooth root, implanted into the jawbone. It integrates with the human body and bonds with the jawbone without causing inflammation or side effects.</li>
<li>Abutment is the part attached to the implant fixture to support the crown.</li>
<li>Crown is the visible tooth part, made from metal or ceramic, shaped like a natural tooth, providing a natural tooth feel.</li>

<h2 style="color: #008080;">Steps in getting a dental implant</h2>
<ul>
<li>Step 1 Oral health examination to analyze the most suitable treatment. The doctor will perform an X-Ray to assess the thickness of the jawbone.</li>
<li>Step 2 Surgery to implant the titanium implant into the bone and suture the wound. After 14 days, the stitches will be removed.</li>
<li>Step 3 Recovery period. After treatment, you can eat normally but should choose soft foods to help the implant bond quickly with the jawbone. The waiting time for the implant to bond well and be strong enough to use is about 3-6 months for upper teeth and 2-3 months for lower teeth.</li>
<li>Step 4 Taking an impression to send to the lab for crown fabrication.</li>
<li>Step 5 Fitting the crown made from metal alloy, ceramic, or porcelain, shaped and colored to resemble natural teeth, cemented onto the abutment with medical cement or, in some cases, secured with screws.</li>

<h2 style="color: #008080;">Advantages of getting “dental implants”</h2>
<ul>
<li>Helps make teeth beautiful and functions close to natural teeth.</li>
<li>No need to grind adjacent teeth compared to dental bridges, which require sacrificing adjacent tooth structure.</li>
<li>The implant is embedded in the jawbone, helping maintain the jawbone structure and preventing bone resorption similar to natural teeth.</li>
<li>Prevents bone loss in the area where teeth are missing.</li>
<li>Works well, is convenient, and safer than removable dentures.</li>

"Teeth" is something everyone should pay attention to because the mouth is home to many types of bacteria. If we eat and do not clean our teeth, oral and dental problems may follow. If left untreated, it can affect the tooth roots.
