永久性假牙 – 安裝程序(上)

由於此解決方案是使用牙齒植體來固定永久性假牙，因此您將再也不需要用到假牙膠黏劑和膠黏粉。

如果想要安裝新的永久性牙齒，第一個步驟便是由您的牙醫師針對您目前的牙齒情況進行檢查。接著，牙醫師便能和您一起找出最適合您的解決方案。



 


在診斷期間，牙科醫師可能會提供兩種牙齒植體置入方案供您選擇：
采用傳統程序，或是采用最先進的引導式程序。



如果您選擇了引導式程序，則牙醫師將會為您的顎骨進行電腦斷層 (CT) 掃描，或是將您的顎骨制作成模型，以便在牙科治療程序開始之前先進行完整的規劃。

牙醫師會使用拴孔手術為您完成牙齒植體的安裝。 此一微創外科技術不但能夠縮短傳統程序所需要的愈合時間，同時也免除了縫合需求，並能大幅減輕使用傳統方式置入牙齒植體所產生的腫脹及不適感。


傳統程序:依照傳統程序，牙醫師會透過 X 光片來了解您的顎骨外觀。 牙醫師通常會在此時為您目前的牙齒及顎骨制作印模。


引導式程序:如果您選擇了引導式程序，則牙醫師將會先建立您的顎骨對應圖，或是為您的顎部及牙齒進行電腦斷層 (CT) 掃描，以便在牙科治療程序開始之前先進行完整的規劃。 透過這樣的規劃程序，牙醫師將能建立一副導具，並利用此導具將牙齒植體安裝於最理想的位置。


同時間，實驗室也已經開始制作您的新牙；因此在您裝上牙齒植體的同時，您的新牙也已經制作完成，並能連同牙齒植體一並完成安裝。
