Dental Impants

Introduction of Dental Impants

Dental implant, also known as tooth implant or implant-supported restoration, is a fixed dental prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. In Macau, dental implant centers place artificial tooth roots into the gums and jawbone to fill the space and can be used to reconstruct one or multiple missing teeth. The cost of dental implants in Macau may vary depending on the specific services provided. For detailed pricing information, it is advisable to inquire directly with us.

The benefits of dental implants

  • Aesthetic and natural
  • Minimize impact on adjacent teeth
  • Natural chewing ability
  • Avoid the embarrassment of temporary teeth falling out

Types of dental implants

Subperiosteal implant: Installation of a metal framework that goes through the gum tissue to implant artificial tooth roots

Transosseous implant: Artificial tooth roots penetrate the jawbone, providing increased stability for the denture.
