Dental implant is the most advanced method of restoring missing teeth today. By placing implants into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth roots, implants help to ensure chewing function and maintain the aesthetics of the smile. Many customers have trusted Elite Dental as their best implant dental cares and have been completely satisfied with their experience as well as treatment results.
What Is The Structure Of
A Dental Implant?
Dental implants (also known as implant placement or implantation) is a procedure that involves surgically inserting a titanium post (implant) into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. A crown is then attached to the implant to create a complete tooth that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Dental implants are composed of three main parts:
Implant Post
It is an elongated cylindrical dental material made of Titanium that has been tested for safety, playing a role in replacing the lost tooth root and supporting the porcelain crown/porcelain bridge above. Currently, there are many types of implant post on the market with different origins, brands and characteristics.
Abutment
It is a dental material with an inclined or straight cylindrical shape, which serves as the connection between the implant pillar and the crown above, and has a long service life like the implant pillar.
Crown
It is the tooth that is placed on the implant through the abutment joint, made of alloy or dental porcelain, with a shape and color similar to real teeth but hollow inside.
Who Should Have
Dental Implants?
Implant dentistry is the optimal dental restoration solution, suitable for the following cases:
People who lose 1 tooth, several teeth or the whole jaw make it difficult to chew, less aesthetic, and afraid to communicate.
People who have undergone previous tooth restoration procedures, such as dentures or bridges, may find themselves facing issues with functionality, stability, and long-term durability.
People who have lost their teeth for a long time lead to loss of jawbones, sagging faces, and premature aging.
People with weak teeth cannot make porcelain bridges.
Benefits of Implants
Maximum safety, outstanding results
Dental implants are chosen by many people for their journey to change their smile thanks to the following outstanding advantages:
Restore chewing function up to 90%
Improve the aesthetics of your smile, as beautiful as natural teeth
The implant post is securely anchored into the jawbone, and the porcelain crown has a color that matches the natural teeth, ensuring a natural look that is very difficult to distinguish, giving patients a confident smile.
Maximize natural tooth preservation, prevent jawbone resorption
Implant placement does not involve any invasive procedures on adjacent healthy teeth. In particular, the implant post integrates with the jawbone, stimulating bone growth and preventing bone resorption.
Long-lasting and sustainable results, lasting a lifetime
Implants are made from biocompatible titanium and have a long lifespan. With proper oral hygiene, implants can last a lifetime.
Standard Medical Procedure For
Dental Implant Placement
The specific steps for dental implants are as follows:
General examination and treatment plan
Blood test and implant surgery
Post-surgical follow-up and
re-examination
Porcelain tooth restoration on implant to finish treatment
Step 1: General examination and treatment plan
Before receiving dental implants, you will undergo a comprehensive oral examination, including a CBCT scan to assess bone density and jawbone thickness. Based on the results, the doctor will provide you with a consultation and treatment plan, including the cost and duration of the implant procedure.
Step 2: Blood test and implant surgery
Before implant placement, your doctor will order the necessary blood tests to ensure you are in good health. The implant surgery itself will be performed under local or general anesthesia.
Next, the doctor will attach a temporary tooth to the implant to allow you to eat and chew comfortably while maintaining aesthetics. For full-arch implant restorations at Elite, you can have the final restoration (fixed porcelain crowns on implants) done immediately without the need for temporary teeth, significantly shortening the treatment time.
Step 3: Post-surgical follow-up and re-examination
Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled for the doctor to check the healing process.
Step 4: Porcelain tooth restoration on implant to finish treatment
After approximately 6 weeks to 6 months, once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, the doctor will attach the porcelain crown to the implant to complete the dental implant procedure. This stage typically takes 3-5 appointments within 5-14 days, depending on the individual’s dental condition.
The total treatment time varies depending on whether you are getting single-tooth or full-arch implants. However, the time to place the implant posts into the jawbone is relatively quick, only 20-30 minutes per implant. After that, you will need to wait about 6 weeks for the implant posts to osseointegrate before the porcelain crowns can be restored.
However, when getting full-arch implants at Elite Dental, you can have the porcelain crowns restored immediately on the implants (without the need for temporary teeth). The total completion time is only about 2 weeks, without the need for a long wait, which is ideal for Vietnamese expats returning home for dental work. This can be achieved only if three conditions are met:
- First, the patient must meet the requirements for bone and soft tissue conditions.
- Second, the dental team must have extensive experience and expertise in implant services, as well as proficiency in digital technology, to ensure accurate treatment planning and procedures.
- Third, advanced digital technology (PIC System, CBCT scanner, etc.) must be used in the implant procedure.
Types Of Dental Implants
Elite Dental provides solutions to restore lost teeth with personalized implant services, suitable for each condition that many people are facing.
Dental implants replace one missing tooth to avoid consequences due to tooth loss such as impaired chewing function, jawbone loss, etc.
Multi-tooth dental implants are applied when many adjacent or alternating teeth are lost, helping to effectively overcome tooth loss.
Full mouth dental implants with ProArch/All-on-X are the optimal solutions for replacing all of your missing teeth as well as their roots.

- Take time to rest and keep your mind relaxed and limit stress.
- Take care of your health carefully, do not drink alcohol or smoke to avoid adverse effects on the surgical process.

- After bone grafting or sinus lift, you should limit vigorous exercise and prioritize eating soft food, and follow the doctor’s schedule.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
Elite Dental will answer frequently asked questions about implants so that you can have an overview and make decisions more easily.
Are there any limitations to the dental implant method?
Implant is a complex dental technique, requiring a good doctor (the most important factor) and standard equipment. Otherwise, you are prone to some dangerous complications. In addition, this is also a fairly expensive method, so you need to be well prepared. In order to help customers reduce financial pressure, Elite Dental implements an installment implant program with 0% interest.
Why are dental implants so expensive?
Dental implants need many factors: Highly qualified and experienced implant doctors, genuine implant materials, modern equipment (such as laser machines, CBCT imaging machines, PRP to help heal quickly,…). Therefore, dental implants have a higher cost than other treatment options for missing teeth.
Does a dental implant hurt?
Whether or not dental implants hurt depends on the individual’s constitution and pain tolerance. However, if the implant procedure is performed by a skilled dentist with the assistance of advanced equipment, it will be very gentle and comfortable.
What is the best age to get dental implants?
The general age requirement for dental implants is 18 years old and above for females and 20 years old and above for males. This is because the jawbone has developed relatively stable at this stage, which is favorable for the firm integration of the implant post, ensuring long-term sustainability and preventing tilting or displacement.
How long does it take for dental implant wounds to heal?
After implant placement, it is typically necessary for 6 to 14 weeks for the wound to heal and for the implant post to osseointegrate with the jawbone. After this period, the dentist will attach the porcelain crown to the implant and complete the treatment.
