There are three basic categories of dental implants treatment techniques :

• Conventional Implants :done in separate phases with a healing periods in between each stage. During the first phase, surgical placement of the implants posts is done. The posts is left to heal for at least 2 months or more before second phase is done. During the second phase, the fixed or removable prosthetics (crown, bridge or denture) is fitted over the implant posts.
• Immediate Implants : One day Implants or Same Day Implants whereby existing teeth is extracted and the implant posts placed on during the same visit. This enables shorter treatment timings and a one-time invasive surgical visit.
• Immediate-Loaded Implants: whereby the temporary or permanent fixed prostheses is loaded immediately or shortly after over the implant posts. 

Conventional implants is normally the preferred and recommended implant technique if time is not a crucial factor for your dental implant treatment. This is because each stage of your implant is left to heal before proceeding to the next stage. After tooth removal, wait time allows to check that there is no further infection in area and what is the quality of remaining bone for implant. After implant placement, the healing period allows your dentist to check that the implant posts are successfully and securely fused to the jaw bone before proceeding to the next stage. For individuals with poor bone condition or has compromised immune or status, conventional implants is usually the recommended implant technique.

Types of Dental Implants

There are many brands, ranges and types of dental implants on the global market and in Thailand. In terms of technique and concept for the timeframe of treatment, there are 3 basic implant types:

1. Conventional implants 
2. Immediate implants
3. ProArch (All-on-4) implants

Conventional implants are the standard concept whereby treatment is done in 2 stages. During the first stage, the dental implant post is inserted into the jawbone. The implant post is left to integrate and fuse with the jaw bone. It normally takes around 2 to 6 months for the implant post to securely embed with the jaw bone. Thereafter during the second stage, your dentist (or prosthodontist) builds the crown, bridge or dentures to be fitted over the dental implants.

Immediate implants, sometimes known as one day implant. This concept applies to the first stage treatment whereby an existing damaged tooth is extracted and the dental implant post is placed into the jaw bone during the same surgical visit. Therefore, during the same one day visit, you new implant post tooth root. However, this does not mean that the false tooth can be fitted over during the same period. The implant post is still left to heal for at least 2 months or more before crown, bridge or denture is loaded over the dental implant post.

ProArch (All-on-4) is an immediate function concept whereby both the first stage and second stage are done during the same period of time. ProArch (All-on-4) applies only to ful jaw implants (not for single or several missing teeth). One day implants combined with immediate loading of prostheses is done in one go. ProArch (All-on-4) has the benefit that the dental implant posts and its fixed denture prostheses is completed over a short period of time of around 2 weeks. For someone who has exisiting teeth and requires removal of all teeth, ProArch (All-on-4) concepts makes the transition process smoother. At a later stage, after 6 months or more when the implant posts have healed with the jaw bone, the first set denture prostheses is normally replaced with another longer-term fixed denture prostheses using strong materials.

As dental implant treatments are done in 2 stages. When you come in for dental implant treatment, you may receive consultation by a prosthodontist that walks through with you various options on missing gaps solutions. Should you decide to undertake dental implants, your prosthodontist may refer you to an implantologists or oral surgeon to perform the first stage implant post surgery. Thereafter when the implant posts is healed, your prosthodontist then continues work over the implants.

Implantologists are dental experts trained on surgical placement of implant posts. They check bone condition, soft tissue nerves to ensure implant posts are properly positioned and do not hit any nerves. Prosthodontists are specialists that construct crowns, bridge and dentures. Aside from doing prostheses over natural teeth, prosthodontists also specialized in building prosthetic restorations over implant posts.
