Can dental implants be used for gum atrophy? Here are some key points to note

Dental disease is a very painful thing. As the saying goes, "Toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens." Gum atrophy brings a lot of difficulties to daily life. Some people can return to a normal life with dental implants. If the condition is too severe, dental implants cannot be performed.

Generally speaking, if the gum recession can be effectively controlled, dental implants can be performed. However, if your gum recession is severe and cannot be controlled, dental implants cannot be performed. So if your condition is very serious, you cannot have dental implants. However, we still need to pay attention to protecting our oral hygiene at ordinary times, because if we do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it is very easy to cause cross infection and induce other blood diseases.

If gum recession is caused by periodontitis, the periodontitis must be treated first before dental implants can be performed. If gum recession is severe, dental implant surgery is not recommended to avoid sequelae.

There are many steps in dental implants:

Dental implants cannot be placed directly on gums that have receded. If necessary, bone grafting and filling are required to reach a height that matches the alveolar bone height of the implant. Before implanting a patient, dental implant specialists need to take dental X-rays to check the condition of the alveolar bone, the degree of gum atrophy, whether there is loose teeth, what causes gum atrophy, etc.

You must pay attention to rest before undergoing this dental implant. No matter what the reason is, you must give yourself more rest time, because this is also to ensure your physical health. Women should try to avoid the menstrual period.
