While price is an important factor when choosing implants, the most expensive isn't necessarily the best. It is important to find an implant procedure that suits you. Try visiting at least three specialized implant clinics to get quotes and consultations before making a decision.

I think you can start eating hard foods after a month, and even that requires a consultation with a specialist. I use disinfectant properly and take good care of my dental floss.

Even implants last about 10 years with proper care, but they can sometimes reach the end of their lifespan before then. When it comes to maintenance, using dental floss and interdental brushes, along with regular checkups, is very important. In particular, if you grind your teeth, smoke, or have diabetes, please get regular checkups every 3 to 6 months.

While conventional X-rays used before implant surgery view the overall shape of the teeth and bone in two dimensions, CT scans reconstruct the gum bone in three dimensions to more precisely verify its height, thickness, density, and the location of nerve canals. Therefore, CT scans are used to enhance the safety and accuracy of the surgery by pre-designing the placement position, angle, and depth of the implant, and, if necessary, facilitating the creation of digital guides.

After getting an implant, you should not stop at just brushing but get into the habit of using auxiliary tools like interdental brushes and waterpiks every day, undergo regular checkups and scaling, avoid hard foods, and reduce smoking and drinking. Since implants lack nerves, inflammation is detected late, and if care is neglected, peri-implantitis can progress rapidly. Therefore, maintaining the habit of managing your implants even when you don't feel pain helps with long-term maintenance.

I see you are considering dental implants. I hope the procedure goes well.

It seems like you are concerned about various things, such as cost and pain. I think it would be best to visit a few places before making a decision.

I get a dental checkup every time I get a scaling at the dental clinic where I got my implants.

In my experience, if you use dental floss or a waterpik every day after brushing to clean even the crevices, it will help you keep your teeth much cleaner and last longer!!! It would be even better to combine this with regular dental checkups and scaling!!!

The dentist's competence is important. Not just places with flashy advertisements... but the doctor's alma mater, career, experience with implant procedures, hospital reputation, and so on. And the explanation during the consultation. You should get a CT scan of your teeth and hear a detailed explanation regarding the condition of your alveolar bone.

They say that if you get an implant while you have gum disease, inflammation may occur or the implant may fall out, so you need to get gum treatment first.

This is the first time I've seen a hospital where implant costs are this cheap and there are no additional charges. In other hospitals, they may be inexpensive initially, but there are additional costs later on.
