Dental implant serves as a restorative way for tooth loss, increasingly winning popularity. Knowing knowledge about dental implant will be helpful to choose a customized treatment plan for yourself.

    Here comes a brief introduction of implant tooth, including its structure, procedure and price. 

    As is known to all, there’s only two set of teeth for everyone — deciduous and permanent teeth. Once the permanent teeth fall out, they won’t grow back and you have to seek dental replacements for them. Dental implant is kind of dental prosthesis designed to replace your missing teeth. 

    An implant tooth consists of three parts: dental implant as artificial tooth root, abutment in the middle and a dental crown on the top. The dental implant will be placed into the alveolar bone first, while the abutment and crown should be worn after the artificial root has firmly integrated with the bone. 

    Before the surgery, a thorough check-up will be taken and necessary treatment should be conducted up front to get you prepared for an implant, such as periodontal treatment, filling tooth cavities and bone grafting. In general, dental implant should be conducted for adults who have already reached full growth of teeth. As long as your alveolar bone and periodontal tissues are good enough to support a dental implant, you are eligible to seek the treatment no matter you’re young or old. 

    When it comes to the price, it includes the prices of the aforementioned three parts in total. The artificial root will account for the large part of the total price, costing about tens of thousands in Chinese currency. Nowadays, there are a few brands of dental implant available, costing differently. Besides, the fee of getting your oral condition qualified for an implant also varies from person to person.
