Discover Modern Technology in Dental Implants at Herident Dental Clinic

In today’s Industry 4.0 era, the application of modern technology is essential for the development of the dental field in general and dental implants in particular. At Herident Dental Clinic, we always take the lead in applying the most advanced techniques in the dental implant process. Herident continuously upgrades its equipment and procedures to accompany customers throughout their journey to a confident smile.

What is a Dental Implant?

According to Mayo Clinic, the implant procedure is also referred to as dental implant surgery—a method of tooth replacement done by surgically placing a metal post into the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth. This post, typically made of titanium, is then attached to a dental crown, functioning as a real tooth. Dental implants not only restore lost chewing function but also bring high aesthetics. It is one of the greatest advancements in modern dentistry, offering far more advantages than other traditional restorative methods. 

Technologies Used in the Dental Implant Process at Herident

Understanding the importance of modern equipment in achieving the highest precision in every dental implant procedure, Herident Dental Clinic constantly updates and upgrades the most advanced tools for customer treatment—ensuring the best experience possible. Let’s take a look at some of the technologies used in Herident’s Implant Placement Services:

Macro Camera JSC

At Herident Dental Clinic, the macro camera JJC is used to capture images and video footage during the consultation and treatment process. This device allows dentists to record clear images of specific areas in the oral cavity in detail, thereby helping to evaluate the condition of the teeth and oral tissues more accurately. 

Monitor

Medical monitors continuously track patients' health, detect early abnormal indicators, and alert medical staff. Healthcare professionals can monitor vital signs, especially after surgery, to respond promptly and prevent complications. Additionally, they can adjust treatment plans accordingly to suit the patient’s health condition.

Implant Surgical Motor: Surgic XT Plus

The Implant Surgic XT Plus surgical motor is an advanced dental implant system manufactured in Japan by NSK – a leading global brand in dental equipment production.At Herident Dental Clinic, the Implant Surgic XT Plus motor offers many benefits, including: absolute safety during treatment, enhanced torque control, and precise speed adjustment. Its compact design and easy operation reduce patient discomfort.The high precision of this machine also minimizes trauma and speeds up recovery time. As a result, discomfort after implant surgery is minimized to the greatest extent.

3D CT Cone Beam Imaging System

The 3D Cone Beam CT scanner is an advanced imaging diagnostic technology that helps detect dental diseases early through high-resolution 3D images. It assists in formulating accurate treatment plans, especially in implant and orthodontic procedures. This technology allows for real-time tracking of treatment outcomes and flexible adjustments. Moreover, a single scan helps save both cost and time for patients. Consequently, it enhances clinical accuracy and delivers a superior experience for customers.

Surgery room

The surgical room at Herident Dental Clinic is a specialized area, meeting the strict conditions and hygiene standards for medical equipment. Doctors will perform minor surgeries under sterile conditions and local anesthesia to ensure complete safety. Herident’s surgical room ensures absolute sterility to avoid infection risks for both doctors and patients.

Strict Sterilization Procedures

Sterilization is one of the most important factors to ensure that the implanted titanium post integrates into the jawbone without being rejected by the body.  For this reason, Herident has developed an 8-step standard procedure, based on the dedicated research of Dr. Hùng, ensuring that patients not only feel comfortable and painless, but also fully safe during treatment.

Standardized Implant Procedure at Herident

Let’s explore Herident’s dental implant placement process:

• Step 1: Consultation and initial diagnosis.
• Step 2: 3D Conebeam CT scan and jawbone assessment to determine implant location.
• Step 3: Develop a detailed surgical plan: implant timing, number of implants, size, implant sites, need for bone grafting, sinus lift, etc.

• Step 4: Sign the treatment contract and commitment agreement
• Step 5: Perform medical history intake and complete the preoperative checklist
• Step 6: Perform the implant surgery: the patient will undergo disinfection, local anesthesia at the implant site, and implant post placement according to standardized procedures

• Step 7: Post-op checkup after 3 days and schedule suture removal
• Step 8: Final prosthetic restoration on the implant: After 3–6 months, depending on the complexity of the case, the patient will undergo imaging, bone density assessment, and have a crown placed once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone

Post-Surgery Care Instructions

1. Apply pressure: The patient must gently bite on gauze for about 1 hour.
2. Cold compress:

• Within the first 24 hours, patients should apply cold compresses to reduce swelling: 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. Do not apply continuously to avoid frostbite.
• Use ice packs or cold towels wrapped in gauze if available.

      3. Use medications exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

      4. Follow a soft diet:

• In the first few days after implant surgery, patients should drink plenty of water and eat soft foods such as porridge, soup, oatmeal, milk, etc. Supplement with vitamins from fruits such as juice and smoothies.
• In addition, patients should pay attention to foods that should be avoided as they may affect healing and bone integration of the implant:

• Limit the consumption of coffee, sugary drinks, and alcoholic beverages.
• Avoid overly spicy, hot, hard or chewy foods, or those high in acid such as fermented shrimp paste, as they may prolong healing and increase the risk of wound infection. sẽ có thể làm kéo dài quá trình thành thương, nhiễm trùng vết mổ.

      5. Practice proper oral hygiene:

• Brush teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice a day, focusing especially on the implant area.
• Use dental floss to remove food debris around the implant, between teeth, etc., significantly reducing the risk of peri-implantitis.
• Use mouthwash containing antibacterial agents after implant surgery as directed by your dentist.

     6. Schedule regular follow-up appointments: 

• 7 days after implant placement, the patient returns for a follow-up appointment so the doctor can assess healing and remove sutures (if needed).
• After that, the doctor will schedule periodic checkups to monitor oral hygiene and evaluate osseointegration of the implant, checking for any abnormalities.

• Maximize tooth preservation
• Ensure natural-looking aesthetics
• Prevent jawbone resorption
• Long lifespan
• Fully restore the original tooth’s function
• Safe and biocompatible

What diagnostic tools are used before implant placement?

CT Conebeam scans are used for diagnostic imaging and treatment planning prior to implant surgery.

Is CAD/CAM technology really necessary for dental restorations?

CAD/CAM technology helps design and fabricate implant crowns with high precision, ensuring excellent fit and aesthetics, especially for patients requiring customized treatment.
