- Treatment
- A titanium implant was placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. After the bone had bonded with the implant, a ceramic crown was fitted to restore chewing and appearance. The implant supported the crown without using the adjacent teeth as bridge supports.
- Duration & visits
- Treatment period: about 3 to 6 months (including the healing period for the bone to bond with the implant). Number of visits: about 6 to 10
- Cost
- From ¥440,000 (tax included) (breakdown: first-stage implant surgery ¥220,000 + crown/second-stage surgery ¥220,000). *This is a guide price when using an Osstem-brand implant. *If bone grafting (GBR) is needed, additional cost applies.
- Risks & side effects
- Because this involves surgery, pain, swelling, bleeding and bruising can occur after the procedure. Neglecting daily care and regular maintenance can lead to “peri-implantitis,” a condition similar to periodontal disease, with the risk that the implant will come loose and fall out.
