Types of Dental Implants in Bangkok, Thailand:

Single Tooth Implant

These are used to replace a tooth that you may have lost due to disease or injury.

Single tooth dental implants are highly successful with a success rate of nearly 100%.

Single tooth implant doesn’t affect other teeth and looks the same as natural teeth.

All-On-4 ™ (Nobel Biocare / USA)

All on four fixed dental implants are useful for people who have no teeth in one or both the arches.

Some of these patients could previously be wearing complete dentures.

In this process, the dentists replace an entire set of teeth with four implants. A bridge is then set up in time as little as an hour.

In most cases, bone grafting and sinus lift are not required.

All on 6/8 Dental Implants

This is another fixed solution to replace all teeth in one arch.

6 or 8 implants are placed in one jaw bone to support a full arch dental bridge, which will function as your artificial teeth.

Zygoma Implants™

Zygoma implants are immediate function long implants with 12 metal-composite implant bridges.

These are used in patients with a minimal amount of jaw bone left.

Zygomatic Implants are inserted deeper, taking support from the cheekbones instead of the jaw bone.

These don’t require bone grafting.

Parts of an implant

An implant is normally made up of three parts.

1. Implant post: This part goes inside the jaw bone and dictates the success of the rocedure. It is usually made up of titanium. This is the part which fuses with the surrounding bone to provide stability.
2. Abutment: An abutment connects the underlying implant to the crown above.
3. Crown/ Bridge: The part which mimics the structure and function of your natural tooth in the mouth is the crown.

Procedure for Dental Implants

1. Consultation: The patient is given a free consultation with the concerned Thailand dentist. The dentist will study your medical and dental history. Any queries the patient has will be answered.
2. Treatment Plan: A provisional treatment plan is made according to the patient’s condition. This is then discussed at length. Only after the complete satisfaction of both the patient and the dentist is the treatment started.
3. Implantation: In the first visit, the implant is placed into the jaw bone. This requires special equipment. The patient is put under anesthesia so that they don’t feel any pain.
4. Crown and Abutment: In the second visit, the patient will be given an abutment and a crown to go on top of the Implant. This will mark the completion of your treatment.

Dental Implants Bangkok FAQs

1. How can I reuse my denture over denture implants?

If you have a strong, stable complete denture, it can be used as a bridge over your dental implants in an All-on-4 case. In some cases, if the existing denture is damaged or weak, a new denture might be the best way to get a healthy and long-lasting treatment.

2. How long do dental implants last?

A dental implant is a fixed treatment which is designed to stay as it is permanently. Proper hygiene is the primary requirement for the health of an implant. If that is taken care of, the implant should last you a lifetime!

3. How do I take care of my implants post-surgery?

Implants don’t require any special care. The only thing the patient needs to take care of is oral hygiene. Brushing twice daily and keeping tabs on your general oral health can go a long way. If you feel any pain or discomfort, feel free to contact your dentist.

If you have been given any medication like antibiotics, be sure not to skip a dose. Avoiding infections will be the main target post-surgery. In case you have other medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension, keeping them under check with proper medication and precautions is imperative.

4. What is bone grafting?

Bone grafting refers to the procedure in which artificial or natural bone is used to make up for the loss of jaw bone in a patient’s mouth. This is usually done in relation to implant dentistry. It is required only in cases where the amount or thickness of bone is not enough to support an implant.

A sinus lift is another procedure which might be required in patients who don’t have enough bone in the upper jaw.

To get to know if you need grafting or sinus lift, your dentist will need to examine your mouth as well as its CT scan. This will give an idea about the internal bone structure.

5. Does it hurt to get dental implants?

The simple answer is no. All dental procedures are done under proper anesthesia. There are various techniques of anesthesia which are easily available nowadays. This includes conscious sedation for extremely anxious patients.

Your dentist will ensure that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. After the surgery is done, you will be prescribed appropriate painkillers and antibiotics to prevent any post-op complications.

6. My teeth have been missing for a long time. Can I still get dental implants?

Absolutely! Even after several years of having no teeth, patients are able to get dental implants successfully. A large period of no teeth causes bone loss. If the amount of bone is significantly less, bone grafting can be done to make up for this loss.

7. I have diabetes. Am I a candidate for dental implants?

If your diabetes is under control with proper medication and diet adjustments, then there should be no problem in getting dental implants. For this, you should contact your medical practitioner. Uncontrolled diabetes can increase the risk of infections by a huge margin. This can further lead to failure of the implant.

Hypertension is another major concern when it comes to any kind of surgery. This will cause the patient to bleed more than normal and can be dangerous. Again, if it is under control, the process should go smoothly.

8. How quickly can I get implants?

The newer methods of implant placement do not take much time to give you the results. In some cases, implants can be fixed in an hour! The bridge is prepared via computerized machines in a very short span. All this gives you a quick and long-lasting result. So, you save money as well as time!

9. What all payment methods can be used in Bangkok?

Payment methods include personal cheques, cash, major debit/credit cards like Mastercard, etc. are accepted. Other payment options like PayPal are also valid.

10. How does smoking affect a dental implant?

Smoking makes your blood vessels narrower which means that the blood reaching your gums and bone will decrease. This will affect the health of the implant negatively. Therefore, it is suggested that 2-3 weeks before and after implant placement, a smoker should refrain from this habit.
