What is Dental Implant? Dental implants, also known as implant grafting, is the optimal current method of restoring missing teeth by inserting a metal post into the jawbone. This treatment method helps replace missing teeth with completely new implanted teeth.
What Is Dental Implant?
Dental implants have been a popular method of tooth restoration for over 60 years worldwide and over 20 years in Vietnam. The dental implant method can replace one or multiple teeth, or even an entire arch.
By using artificial implant tooth roots to replace missing teeth, this helps limit jawbone resorption. At the same time, it ensures the function of an aesthetic and easy chewing ability.
Currently, there are many different methods for replacing missing teeth such as dental bridges, removable dentures… However, these methods can still lead to bone resorption. Therefore, dental implants are a highly aesthetic tooth replacement method that does not cause bone resorption and ensures good chewing function.

Dental Implant Structure
The structure of a dental implant consists of 2 main parts:
+ The part inside the jawbone: includes the implant post – an artificial tooth root made of highly biocompatible titanium. It will be placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth and functions just like a natural tooth root.
+ The part outside the jawbone includes: the abutment connector and the artificial crown.
- Abutment connector: The connecting part between the implant post and the artificial crown above.
- Artificial crown: Usually made of porcelain. It is permanently attached on top and functions like a natural tooth crown.
What Cases Should Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants can be performed at any position on the jaw. The implant post does not oxidize in the oral environment, so this is completely safe for long-term use.
Additionally, the post body has a spiral threaded design along the length. This increases the surface area contacting the jawbone, helping the implant integrate firmly and withstand high chewing forces. Therefore, with proper care, the lifespan of a dental implant can last a lifetime.
Cases That Should Get Dental Implants
- When a person is missing one or more teeth, or an entire arch, dental implants can be used to restore them. This avoids having to grind down adjacent teeth like with dental bridges. Additionally, it prevents bone resorption.
- Severely decayed, damaged, or loose teeth that cannot be restored should be extracted and replaced with dental implants to preserve the bone tissue.
- People who have been missing teeth for a long time and have been wearing removable dentures, which are inconvenient, can get dental implants for a fixed, secure chewing ability.
- Anyone with good general health who has lost one or more teeth is a candidate for dental implants to permanently replace the missing teeth and preserve jawbone.
Not Everyone Can Get Dental Implants
Getting treatment with this method requires cooperation from the patient and evaluation by the dentist.
- People under 18 years old: The jawbone is still developing. Dental implant intervention can negatively impact future tooth structure.
- Pregnant patients: Implant placement may require certain medications that can affect the fetus. It’s best to postpone until 6 months after giving birth.
- Patients with severe uncorrectable jaw deformities may not be candidates for implants.
- Patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, etc. Patients with uncontrolled conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, pituitary insufficiency, Paget’s disease, etc., especially elderly patients, should consult their dentist first.
- Patients with psychiatric disorders who cannot control their behaviors are not suitable for implant surgery.
- Heavy alcohol drinkers, as this can prevent implant integration and increase the failure rate of the surgery.

Compared to the cost of other regular tooth replacement methods such as porcelain crowns or removable dentures, the cost of the dental implant method can be relatively high. However, in terms of quality, durability and effectiveness, dental implants are well worth the cost that patients pay.
When you come to Nha Khoa Trong Rang Sai Gon (Saigon Dental Implant Clinic), our team of dentists will examine you and determine the full cost for your dental implant treatment. Additionally, we offer an INSTALLMENT PLAN FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS to assist patients with payments. Patients will have full transparency and peace of mind about the costs before proceeding with treatment.
Are Dental Implants Painful?
To perform a dental implant, the dentist will surgically place the implant post directly into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. This procedure takes around 10-15 minutes per implant post. It may sound painful, but before placing the implant, you will receive local anesthesia in the area surrounding the implant site and on the cheek area. The dosage and duration of the anesthesia will be calculated by the dentist for your specific case. Therefore, you can rest assured that you will NOT feel any pain throughout the entire treatment process.
How Long Does It Take to Get Dental Implants?
Typically, the implant placement surgery takes around 20-30 minutes. After that, the patient needs 1-3 months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. The dentist will then restore the implant with a porcelain crown to complete the implant process. The dental implant timeline falls into two cases:
- For patients who have recently lost teeth and have sufficient jawbone quantity/quality: The time from implant placement to the final crown restoration takes 4-6 weeks.
- For patients who have been missing teeth for a long time with significant bone loss, gum recession, or insufficient bone to securely hold the implant: Additional procedures like gum grafting, bone grafting or sinus lifts may be needed first. Therefore, the overall time can be extended longer.
You can refer to an article on the step-by-step dental implant process for more details on this matter.
Reliable Dental Implants for Lifetime Use
Currently, dental implants are considered the optimal method for restoring missing teeth. Not only do they improve chewing ability, but they also provide a bright, aesthetic smile. However, compared to other conventional tooth replacement methods, dental implants have higher requirements. It can be said that this is a technically complex procedure, with strict criteria for the dentist, equipment, and technology involved. The following criteria should be considered when choosing where to get dental implants:
1. Modern Dental Implant Technology and Techniques Are Required
In the medical field, including dentistry, treatment techniques and technology are always the first factors to be evaluated. At Nha Khoa Trong Rang Sai Gon (Saigon Dental Implant Clinic), we place utmost importance on using advanced techniques and technologies to treat our patients. Dedication and meticulousness for every patient is always our guiding principle.
If modern techniques are utilized, the success and safety rates of treatment will be increased. Especially when performing dental implants, applying the latest technology significantly reduces the risk of complications. As a result, more perfect outcomes can be achieved.
2. Must Be Fully Equipped with Advanced Systems and Equipment
Dental implant surgery is a surgical interventional procedure that requires extensive diagnosis. Before placement, you need to have your jawbone structure examined and evaluated. Therefore, you should choose a facility that is fully equipped with high-quality machines and equipment, which is absolutely essential. They will support your treatment process smoothly and avoid any undesirable errors.
With extensive experience and the latest state-of-the-art equipment that is regularly inspected for hygiene and safety assurance when you visit, Nha Khoa Trong Rang Sai Gon (Saigon Dental Implant Clinic) will meet all your needs for collecting information to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
3. Dentists Must Have Extensive Expertise and Qualifications
It’s important to note that not all dentists are qualified to perform dental implants. According to regulations from the Ministry of Health, dental implant surgeries must be performed by dentists who have an implant practice certification. Additionally, they must be highly skilled practitioners with at least 54 months of hands-on implant experience. A lack of knowledge or expertise can make the implant surgery procedure dangerous. Therefore, you should research carefully to choose a dental implant provider with highly qualified and specialized implant dentists. You can review the profiles of our dentists on our website.
At a reputable dental implant center like ours, all surgeons possess the proper implant certifications and extensive clinical experience performing these procedures. Their in-depth expertise ensures the implant surgery is completed with precision and optimal results. Patient safety is always the top priority.
4. The Facility and Clinic Must Ensure Safety Standards
Dental implant surgery is an invasive surgical procedure that requires strict sterility. Even a slight infection around the implant posts can lead to implant failure and removal. Therefore, having a sterile clinic environment is an absolutely essential criteria. Not every dental office meets this standard for performing implant surgery safely. At Nha Khoa Trong Rang Sai Gon (Saigon Dental Implant Clinic), our motto of “Credibility – Quality – Dedication” assures every patient of the highest quality standards and absolute safety at our clinic premises. This is why we are trusted and chosen as the top priority by many domestic and international patients.
