Risks of choosing cheap Dental Implants

How do low-cost implants impact health? Where can you find high-quality implant procedures? And why are cheap implants so common on the market?

Many dental clinics offer low-cost implant services to cut costs, thereby boosting profits. However, these budget implants carry numerous risks, some of which can even pose a threat to patients’ lives. Join RHM WorldWide Dental Hospital to learn about the complications and adverse effects that low-cost implants can cause.

Why Are Low-Cost Implants Flooding the Market?

Recently, numerous ads with slogans like “Genuine implants with a lifetime warranty for just a few million VND” have appeared, targeting customers who prioritize price over quality. However, behind these attractive offers lie numerous unforeseen risks.

Reasons why low-cost implants are prevalent in the market:

• Low-cost implants often lack adequate surface treatment, which increases the risk of jawbone infections after implantation, posing significant health risks for patients.
• These implants are made from low-quality metal, leading to unstable joints that degrade quickly over time.
• Non-certified implants can cause severe complications, such as pus formation, infections, and bleeding once inserted into the body, which is why they are not recommended by dental professionals.
• Some low-cost implants are new, untested products in the market, which may pose potential hazards to patients.

Due to such their low quality, these types of implants are not widely chosen by hospitals or dental clinics, making them cheaper than genuine implants. However, some dental clinics still use these implants on patients to increase profit margins, disregarding the potential health risks to users.

Potential Consequences of Low-Cost Implants

Using low-quality, inexpensive implants can negatively impact patient health either immediately or after some time, particularly during chewing. Potential risks include:

• Low-cost implants may release impurities, such as lead and zinc, which can lead to severe gum infections, pain, and unpleasant odors.
• They can cause fistulas or abscesses filled with pus to form in the oral cavity, resulting in bleeding around the tooth roots during eating or upon accidental contact.
• Due to insufficient titanium content, these inferior implants are prone to breaking or fracturing, posing serious injury risks to patients.
• More seriously, low-quality implants may lead to jawbone resorption, which can compromise adjacent teeth.\

Criteria for Evaluating a Standard-Quality Implant

To assess whether a dental implant meets quality standards, the following factors should be considered:

• Implant surface: The surface should be treated with advanced technologies such as SLA, ACTIVE, Xeal & TiUltra, which enhance the implant’s ability to integrate with the jawbone and reduce the risk of infections.
• Precision in connection: The implant should have a precisely designed screw connection to ensure stability when anchored in the bone.
• Proven efficacy: The implant should undergo clinical trials and demonstrate positive results for patients. However, the true quality of an implant can only be accurately assessed over a long period of use. Some implants may initially appear high-quality but can develop negative issues over time, particularly lower-cost options.

Teeth play a crucial role in determining our quality of life. Therefore, choosing implants from high-quality brands and verified origin is essential. If you’re still searching for a reliable implant provider, consider WorldWide Dental Hospital.
