Dental Implants are a method of restoring missing teeth by placing a titanium post into the jawbone at the site of tooth loss, acting as a replacement for the natural tooth root. After the osseointegration phase, when the implant has stabilized, the dentist will attach the abutment and place a dental crown on top to complete the tooth structure.
Dental implant placement not only fills the gap in the dental arch but also restores chewing function and maintains the patient’s oral health. Once the implant has firmly integrated with the jawbone, the prosthetic tooth above can function nearly equivalent to a natural tooth, ensuring stable bite force and a realistic chewing experience.
In traditional implant restorations, the structure typically consists of three main components: the implant fixture, the abutment, and the dental crown. However, with this conventional cement-retained technique, securing the crown may carry a risk of excess cement, which can affect the peri-implant tissues if not properly controlled. At Smilux International Dental Clinic, the implant system is applied using OTI screw-retained technology combined with a bar system, allowing for more precise and stable prosthetic control. The components of a dental implant include:
Advanced techniques eliminate the need for large gum incisions, minimizing invasiveness, reducing swelling and pain, and ensuring a more comfortable experience for patients.
Allows placement of a temporary prosthesis immediately after implant placement, enabling patients to have functional teeth right away while maintaining aesthetics and natural communication.
The healing period is shortened to approximately 1–2 months, compared to the conventional 4–6 months.
Authentic implant fixtures with clear origin, rigorously tested to meet strict quality standards.
