The method of implanting artificial teeth is considered the most optimal choice to replace lost teeth. In which, implanting teeth is the most popular method with the ability to restore both aesthetics and chewing function. With the long-term and outstanding effects that implanting teeth brings, how much does implanting teeth cost is a concern of many people.
1. What is the dental implant method?
Dental implant, also known as Implant transplantation, is a method of implanting an Implant pillar into the jawbone without affecting adjacent teeth. At this time, the Implant pillar acts as a replacement for the lost real tooth root and after a while the jawbone will adhere to the Implant surface. The process of combining the Implant with the jawbone is called “Osteointegration”.
2. How much does a dental implant cost?
Because the implant tooth consists of 3 main parts, the total cost of implanting teeth will be calculated as follows:
Implant price = (Implant price + Abutment price + Porcelain tooth price) x Number of teeth to be made + Other costs (if any)
In general, the price of implanting teeth is higher than other methods of implanting teeth, but in return, the durability and chewing sensation will be better. The number usually ranges from 19,000,000 – 40,000,000 VND/ 1 tooth. In addition, there may be additional costs for the complete treatment of oral diseases (if any). The above price includes a Titan porcelain crown worth 3.5 million VND on the Implant.

4. Why is the cost of dental implants so high?
The cost of dental implants will basically depend on and be affected by the following factors:
4.1. Materials
Currently, no company in Vietnam can produce dental implants. Foreign companies produce Implants and Abutments from high-quality Titanium using modern techniques, so the price of materials is relatively high.
4.2. Modern technology machinery
Implant dentistry requires support from modern machinery and equipment technology specifically for implant placement such as: Implant surgery machine, surgical guide printer, high-tech CT scanner, sterile system according to Ministry of Health standards, etc.
4.3. Complex technical requirements
The expertise and qualifications of the doctor are one of the most important factors determining the success of the implant treatment. Because the dental implant technique is very complicated, it requires doctors to have high skills and rich experience.

6. Dental Implant Procedure
Dental Implantation must be performed according to the correct procedure to ensure the quality and results of the implantation after completion.
6.1. General examination
The doctor will examine your gums, teeth and health in general to advise on solutions to overcome any dental problems.
6.2. Check your oral health
The doctor will perform a CT scan to check the height, width and porosity of the jawbone. Based on the results, the doctor will plan the treatment and choose the appropriate implant size. In addition, the doctor will also advise whether you need bone grafting before implant placement.
6.3. Oral hygiene and anesthesia
Before performing anesthesia to reduce pain, the doctor will perform oral hygiene steps such as scaling to ensure the oral cavity is completely free of bacteria, avoiding the risk of infection before and after implant placement.
6.4. Tooth extraction or bone grafting (if necessary)
In case the tooth is damaged beyond repair, tooth extraction will be performed first. In the case of long-term tooth loss, bone loss may occur, so the doctor will perform bone grafting. However, after that, it will not be possible to implant the implant immediately but will have to wait for a while. The waiting time for bone grafting is 4-6 months and tooth extraction is 2 months.
6.5. Implant placement
The implant surgery is performed in a strictly sterile environment to avoid infection and the implant will be completed in about 30-60 minutes.
6.6. Waiting for the Implant to integrate with the jawbone
The time for the Implant to integrate with the jawbone is about 3-6 months depending on each person’s condition. During that time, the doctor will schedule the patient for a periodic check-up after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, etc.
6.7. Taking porcelain tooth impressions
The doctor will take a second X-ray to check the stability of the Implant. If the dental implant has integrated stably, the doctor will take a dental impression to make the porcelain tooth.
6.8. Attaching the porcelain tooth
The doctor will install the Abutment and fix the porcelain tooth onto the previously implanted Implant.
6.9. Regular check-ups
After completing the implant process, the doctor will write an appointment for a regular check-up every 6 months to check and promptly fix any problems that may occur when using dental implants.

Doctor answers frequently asked questions when using dental implants
7.1. How long does it take to implant a tooth?
In fact, the time to perform the surgery to implant the implant into the jawbone only takes about 20-30 minutes.
After surgery, it is necessary to wait about 2-3 months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone before being able to perform porcelain tooth restoration and complete the implant process
For those who have lost teeth for a long time without intervention, causing the jawbone to deteriorate, they need to go to the dentist so that a specialist can advise on an appropriate treatment plan.
7.2. Does implanting a tooth hurt?
Before inserting the implant into the jawbone, the doctor will anesthetize so there will be no pain during the surgery. However, when the anesthesia wears off, you will feel slight pain in the implant area. This pain usually does not last too long, the pain will gradually decrease within 1 to 2 days if you follow the doctor’s instructions correctly.
7.3. Are dental implants durable? How long do they last?
The lifespan of dental implants depends on many factors, including the surgeon’s skills, diet, age, overall health of the patient, and post-implantation care.
However, normally, dental implants can last up to 20 years, even a lifetime if you know how to take good care of them.
7.4. For those who have lost teeth for a long time and have jawbone loss, can they get dental implants?
