Living in Hong Kong, I always took good care of my dental health. However, years ago, I had a tooth that needed a root canal. Over time, the tooth deteriorated and couldn’t be saved. I decided that I needed a dental implant, but the high cost of implants in Hong Kong (HKD 20,000 to HKD 40,000 per tooth) led me to explore options in Shenzhen. I found Shenzhen Vickong Dental, and I’m so glad I did. Convenience: 了As a Hong Kong resident, Shenzhen was a short drive away.The Consultation From the start, I felt reassured. Booking was easy, and the clinic’s clean, modern atmosphere put me at ease. During my consultation, the dentist examined my tooth and recommended extraction and replacement with an implant. He explained the process clearly, including the materials they would use—high-quality titanium and a ceramic crown.The Procedure The implant procedure took place a few days later. First, the damaged tooth was extracted. The dentist used local anesthesia, and the extraction was quick and painless. After that, the titanium post was inserted into the jawbone. The dentist made sure to position it precisely for optimal osseointegration. A temporary crown was placed to protect the area while healing.The Recovery The recovery process was smooth. Over the next few months, I attended follow-up appointments to monitor the healing. The titanium post integrated with my jawbone (osseointegration). I followed aftercare instructions, avoiding hard foods and practicing good hygiene. After about three months, the implant had fully integrated, and the final ceramic crown was placed.Final Results When the final crown was placed, I was amazed at how natural it looked. The crown fit perfectly and matched the color of my surrounding teeth. My smile was restored, and I no longer had to worry about the gap or appearance of my old tooth. The implant felt strong and secure.
