Implant placement is minor surgery, so the first examination determines whether treatment is suitable. These are the usual steps at Hanoi Smile.
Steps
- Medical history: heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, medication (especially anticoagulants), smoking.
- Oral examination: missing teeth, remaining teeth, gums and bite. Decay and gum disease are treated first.
- 3D CT scan: bone height and width, and anatomical structures such as the nerve canal and sinus.
- Planning: number and position of implants, any bone grafting, treatment stages, healing time and cost.
Note: Treatment indications and outcomes depend on each person's oral condition, general health and home care. This article is for general information only; an in-person examination is needed for individual advice.
