Jawbone loss, or alveolar bone resorption, occurs when the jawbone lacks sufficient chewing force after tooth loss. This increases osteoclast activity, reducing bone density and volume over time. The condition causes gum recession, loose teeth, malocclusion, and facial changes like sunken cheeks, sagging skin, and an aged appearance. Ultimately, jawbone loss complicates dental restoration, increasing costs and treatment duration.
Jawbone loss is a major challenge in tooth restoration, demanding specialized doctors and modern technology. SGC, specializing in implants, treats bone loss cases from mild to complex, helping patients regain chewing function and preserve bone structure.

Among current tooth restoration methods, implant placement effectively prevents and improves jawbone loss. The implant post mimics a natural tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the bone, which stimulates bone growth and limits resorption.
SGC treats implant cases with bone loss through a personalized process. Before treatment, patients undergo Cone Beam CT scans to assess jawbone density, volume, and quality. This data guides doctors in creating tailored treatment plans, including bone grafting, sinus lift, or specialized implant techniques as needed.

The clinic uses modern technology like Piezotome, PRF, and laser to reduce invasiveness, minimize pain, and promote healing. For restoration, 3D scan technology and the PIC system accurately record implant post positions, ensuring crowns fit precisely for optimal bite and natural aesthetics.
According to an SGC Dental Clinic representative, digitizing the entire process improves accuracy at every treatment step, particularly for complex bone loss cases, which pose risks if not thoroughly assessed.

Doctors advise that early intervention with appropriate solutions is crucial for preserving jawbone and limiting future complications. "Implant treatment aims not only to replace lost teeth but also to maintain long-term jawbone health and patient quality of life. After restoration, patients can chew stably, speak clearly, and feel more confident in daily activities and communication," an SGC doctor said.
Beyond expertise and technology, SGC prioritizes a safe treatment environment with sterile systems. Treatment costs are transparent and publicly disclosed, complemented by clear warranty policies, ensuring patient peace of mind.
With a focus on specialized implant development, the clinic continues to invest in staff and technology. This addresses the growing demand for complex jawbone loss cases and enhances the quality of maxillofacial treatment in Vietnam.
