Dental Implant is a method of replacing broken or lost teeth to restore chewing function and aesthetics like real teeth. However, many people still wonder whether dental implants are safe and effective. BIK International Dental Clinic will answer this question for you through the article below.
1. Is dental implant absolutely safe?
Dental Implants are considered one of the safe and effective tooth restoration solutions, providing strong teeth and a bright smile without causing danger to the patient.
Dental Implants consist of 3 parts:
Titanium pillar: Doctors use surgical techniques to place it into the jawbone in the area where the tooth is missing. This pillar is made of pure Titanium, which is harmless to the oral environment, so it is extremely safe for the body, ensuring firmness and good chewing.
Porcelain crown: Has a shape and function similar to the real tooth body, attached to the Implant pillar through the Abutment joint.
Abutment joint: Acts as a tooth neck connecting the porcelain restoration tooth and the Titanium pillar.
Dental Implants are often indicated in the following cases: loss of 1 tooth, loss of 2 adjacent or alternating teeth, loss of many adjacent or distant teeth, loss of all teeth. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive to surrounding areas and adjacent teeth, and does not cause post-operative complications.
Advantages of ensuring health safety when implanting teeth:
– Implant teeth look like real teeth with full roots and crowns, helping you to have beautiful teeth, confident with high aesthetics.
– Ensure the health of adjacent teeth and the entire jaw.
– Ensure chewing function with chewing ability almost like real teeth.
– Implant teeth do not invade adjacent teeth, easy to clean like real teeth because they are fixed in the jaw, exist independently.
– Implant teeth do not leave you feeling entangled, painful, uncomfortable
– Prevent bone loss.
– If you take care of your teeth properly, implant teeth will last forever
Implant teeth are a difficult method, requiring the doctor to be highly skilled and skillful. Therefore, dental implants are not always absolutely safe if the dental clinic you choose is not reputable, the doctor’s skills are not high, you have chronic diseases, etc.
2. Should you get dental implants?
In fact, there are many methods to fix lost teeth such as porcelain bridges, removable dentures, and dental implants. Of which, dental implants have many outstanding advantages, providing high safety, the best restoration ability, suitable and safe for almost everyone.
Below are the reasons why you should use dental implants:
– Dental implants only affect the area of lost teeth, minimizing damage to adjacent teeth or the entire jaw in the long term.
– Dental implants have high aesthetics, similar to real teeth.
– Dental implants have a solid structure, made from anti-rust Titanium compound, in the form of a spiral screw, compatible with the bone. Therefore, dental implants will prevent bone loss, jaw misalignment, and facial deformity.
– Dental implants give you the feeling of chewing like real teeth.
Dental implants bring positive treatment results for people with missing teeth. However, not everyone can apply this method.

– People under 18 years old.
– Pregnant women.
– Smokers.
– Jawbones not suitable for Implant placement.
– Chronic diseases such as asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, etc.
– Physical condition not suitable for Implant placement.
3. Complications of dental implants
– Implantation has a high success rate, but if the implantation process is not guaranteed, or the dental care regimen after surgery is not good, you may encounter the following complications of implantation:
Heart attack: This is a case that can occur in the elderly with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.
– Postoperative infection: The inflammation of the gums around the implant, if not treated promptly, will lead to peri-implantitis and the implant is rejected. In severe cases, the infection can penetrate deeply, leading to osteomyelitis and jawbone necrosis.
– Implant rejection:
Symptoms that the implant is being rejected include: Changes in the color of the gums around the implant, peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, etc. This complication can be due to the doctor’s incorrect implant technique or the patient still drinking alcohol, smoking, or poor oral hygiene after implantation.
– Bleeding at the implant site: If you still have bleeding gums 1-2 days after implanting a tooth, you need to see a doctor for timely treatment to avoid future dangers.
– Sinusitis: After a period of implanting a tooth, the patient shows signs of sinusitis. This complication is due to incorrect implant procedures or errors during the implant process.
– Nerve damage: You will feel pain, numbness or itching in the lips, tongue, and gums due to damage to the nerve of the tooth socket. If you experience this phenomenon, you need to go to the center for immediate treatment.
4. How to implant teeth absolutely safely
4.1 For patients:
Strong jawbone: To avoid complications, the jawbone needs to have sufficient width and height, no deformities and no recession. If the jawbone has been recession, the doctor needs to perform bone grafting and sinus lift surgery to ensure the conditions for implant placement.
Good health: Before implanting teeth, you need to eat and rest to keep your mind comfortable, ensuring the best health condition before implanting teeth.
Proper post-treatment care
Oral care after dental implant surgery is extremely important. Just one careless factor can affect the results of dental implant surgery. Therefore, you need to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions on how to care for your teeth and what to limit and abstain from. If hygiene and care are not guaranteed, it will lead to oral diseases, adversely affecting the implant pillar, and the results will not be maintained for a long time.
Follow the doctor’s instructions
To limit possible complications after dental implant surgery, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions, and have regular check-ups as required by the doctor to check your dental health and the level of healing after surgery.
4.2 For dental facilities
Safe operating room
Unlike other dental procedures, implant surgery requires drilling the bone, then placing an artificial tooth root into the bone, so sterility is an extremely important factor. Before performing the implant, all tools and equipment in the room must be sterilized. In particular, supporting items such as gloves, masks, cups, needles, straws, etc. are only used once.
Genuine Implant Pillar
Implants with clear origins and meeting quality standards not only have the value of prolonging the life of the tooth but also ensure and accelerate the process of jawbone integration, helping wounds heal quickly. Currently, there are many Implant pillars on the market for people to choose from. However, you should listen to the doctor’s advice to be able to choose for yourself a quality and most suitable Implant pillar.
