Is dental implant surgery safe? This is a question that every dental implant person will think about. There are certain risks associated with surgery, but conventional dental implants are relatively minor and safer than other surgeries. The difficulty coefficient of zygomatic and wing piercing planting in planting is relatively high.

Difference Between Zygomatic Piercing Surgery and Ordinary Implants:

1. The adaptable population is different.

Zygomatic surgery is mainly suitable for patients with severe alveolar bone atrophy and no way to achieve the upper half of the tooth implant condition even through conventional internal and external lifting surgery, and the implant is planted in the cheekbone position.

In the case of ordinary implants, the difficulty is moderate, and the difficulty is not as difficult as that of zygomatic piercing surgery.

3. Doctors have different requirements for technical ability.

For zygomatic piercing surgery, it is necessary to have a doctor who has experience in maxillofacial surgery and is good at complex and difficult implants.

In the case of ordinary dental implants, generally speaking, the more mature the doctor's skills, the higher the success rate of the implants.

4. The charges are different.

Due to the difficulty coefficient of zygomatic piercing surgery, the cost of semi-full mouth implantation ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, which is related to the selection of implants and the implant doctor.

Whereas, common dental implants are mainly for people with missing common teeth.

2. The difficulty of planting is different.

Zygomatic piercing surgery is known as the "Mount Everest" of the implant world, and the degree of difficulty can be seen. Cheekbone implantation, the difficulty of operation is extremely demanding on the technical requirements of implant doctors, if the technology is not skilled, it is easy to have problems, and the risk is greater, so many hospitals dare not do it.

Ordinary dental implants are two or three thousand cheaper, and several thousand more expensive, ranging from one to the other.

Do I need general anesthesia for zygomatic piercing?

Implant surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia, and general anesthesia can be used for partial zygomatic implantation. Compared with local anesthesia, general anesthesia has more things to consider, and physiological parameters such as heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing need to be monitored in real time.

Some patients do not want to hear the mechanical sound of the implant due to psychological factors and other factors, so they will try to comfortably implant the tooth. Compared with local anesthesia, the cost of general anesthesia will be higher, and you can choose according to the actual needs and the capacity of the clinic.

Now some oral cavities are also equipped with medical laughing gas, which can be used in tooth extractions, fillings, root canals**, periodontal**, dental restoration, dental implants and other oral cavities**. Combined with local anesthesia when used, it brings a more comfortable dental experience to patients.

Laughing gas can quickly produce a sedative and analgesic effect in 30s and 40s, which can effectively reduce or eliminate anxiety. Compared with general anesthesia, laughing gas has more obvious advantages, while avoiding the complications of general anesthesia, the postoperative recovery is also very fast, and the patient can achieve complete recovery after stopping laughing gas inhalation for 3 to 5 minutes of pure oxygen.
