Single implant placement involves surgically implanting a titanium post into the jawbone at the exact location of a missing tooth. After the post integrates biologically with the jawbone (the osseointegration process), the dentist will attach an abutment and then place a porcelain crown on top.
Who should consider getting a single dental implant?
- Losing a tooth due to severe decay, pulpitis, or trauma makes it impossible to preserve and requires replacement with a long-term fixed solution.
- Adjacent teeth remain healthy, so dental implants are the optimal option as they don’t require grinding down adjacent teeth like traditional dental bridges.
- Patients need a quick restoration of chewing function and aesthetics, ensuring the new tooth is strong and has a natural shape like a real tooth.
- Long-term tooth loss requires preventing jawbone loss and tooth misalignment.
PROCEDURE FOR PLACING A SINGLE IMPLANT AT THE DENTAL CLINIC
Dental implant types at Viet Anh Dental Clinic – Comparison of durability, load-bearing capacity, and suitable indications.
At Viet Anh Dental Clinic, we use a wide range of genuine dental implants from South Korea, the USA, France, Germany, and Switzerland, catering to diverse jawbone conditions and restoration needs of our patients. Each implant line has distinct differences in durability, load-bearing capacity, cost, and clinical indications.
Basic segment – Korean implants
Korean dental implants are highly regarded for their good stability, rapid bone integration, and reasonable cost. The implant features a deep spiral thread design, ensuring good bone adhesion and stable resistance to chewing forces during daily activities.
Durability: Good
Load-bearing capacity: Fairly good, suitable for normal chewing. Regular check-ups every 6 months are needed to monitor screw looseness.
Price: Low – medium
Warranty period: 7 years
Appropriate indications:
Loss of one or more teeth
Customers want safe and affordable dental implants.
People with average jawbones don’t need to withstand excessive force.
Mid-range segment – American and French implants
American and French implants stand out with their advanced surface treatment technology, which helps the implant integrate with bone faster and provides longer-lasting stability. The optimized implant design ensures even distribution of chewing forces, minimizing bone loss around the implant.
Durability: High
Strength: Good, stable during vigorous chewing.
Price range: Medium – high
Warranty period: 10 years
Appropriate indications:
Long-term tooth loss
Dental implants are placed in high-stress areas of the molars.
Customers prioritize long-term durability and biological stability.
High-end segment – Swiss and German implants
German and Swiss implants are considered the highest-quality implant lines currently available, offering high precision, superior osseointegration, and a near-lifespan. In particular, Straumann implants are widely used in All-on-4, All-on-6, and other challenging bone cases.
Durability: Very high (20 years – a lifetime if well cared for)
Load-bearing capacity: Very strong, absolutely stable.
Cost: High
Warranty period: 10 years
Appropriate indications:
Complete tooth loss
Weak jawbone, significant bone loss.
Customers require strong chewing ability and maximum durability.

CAN I GET IMPLANTS IF I'VE LOST A TOOTH FOR A LONG TIME?
Long-term tooth loss can absolutely be treated with dental implants. Although long-term tooth loss can lead to jawbone resorption, gum recession, and reduced chewing ability, modern dental techniques can effectively address these issues. When teeth are lost for a long time, the jawbone, no longer able to bear weight, gradually resorbs, causing many people to worry about insufficient bone for implant placement. However, at Viet Anh Dental Clinic in Da Nang, doctors will use 3D Cone Beam CT scans to accurately assess the jawbone condition and develop a suitable treatment plan. Depending on the degree of bone loss, patients may be prescribed bone grafting, sinus lift, or gum tissue reconstruction before implant placement, ensuring a stable and safe implant integration.
Before implantation: Lack of gingival tissue around the implant, uneven gingival margin, making it difficult to ensure aesthetics and long-term durability.
After implantation: Gums are naturally regenerated, providing good coverage around the implant post, resulting in a healthy, harmonious, and stable implant site in the long term.
Before implantation: The gums are thin, recessed, and do not tightly embrace the implant post, posing a risk of implant neck exposure and peri-implantitis.
After implantation: The gum tissue is thicker and fuller, tightly embracing the implant, creating a biological protective barrier and significantly improving aesthetics.
Bone grafting in dental implant procedures
For cases of long-term tooth loss, significant bone resorption, or complete edentulism, advanced implant solutions such as All-on-4, All-on-6, and transsinus implants can be applied to restore fixed teeth, ensure stable chewing function, and improve facial aesthetics.
The image shows a bone grafting procedure at Viet Anh Dental Clinic.
Before bone grafting: CT images showed that the bone surrounding the implant site had insufficient volume, failing to provide stable support for the implant post.
After bone grafting: Radiopaque bone graft material is evenly distributed around the abutment shaft, helping to restore bone volume and facilitating bone integration.
Dental implant placement for long-term tooth loss is completely safe if performed by a specialist implant dentist. At Viet Anh Dental Clinic, Dr. Viet Anh directly examines and treats patients, possessing in-depth expertise in implants and periodontology, and extensive experience in handling complex bone loss cases and full-arch implants.
Along with a team of highly skilled dentists and assistants and a modern equipment system, Viet Anh Dental Clinic provides safe, accurate, and long-lasting implant solutions for customers in Da Nang, even in cases of long-term tooth loss.
