20/10/2026
Molars play an important role in chewing and long-term molar loss not only affects eating but also affects facial aesthetics. So which method should you choose to implant molars? Refer to the article below to get the answer.

Serious effects of losing molars

Adverse effects on chewing function

This is a consequence that can be seen immediately when teeth are lost. Molars have the role of crushing food, making the chewing process more convenient. Therefore, when the molars are lost, the ability to chew will be significantly reduced. You will have to give up some tough foods that require the chewing force of the molars and cannot be eaten.

This is especially serious if you have lost both molars number 6 and tooth number 7 or both sides, so eating is really difficult. Unsafe eating will negatively affect your health. Food that is not crushed and sent to the stomach will cause the stomach to work harder, leading to the risk of stomach pain.

Risk of losing more teeth

Molar teeth that are lost for a long time without being restored will lead tojaw bone loss, from which other teeth will become displaced, loose and gradually weaken, especially the adjacent teeth and teeth in the opposite jaw. After a period of use and heavy chewing force, they will weaken their teeth and lose their teeth. If teeth do not have supporting teeth, they will gradually fall out, not only falling out, but also affecting the ability to chew and be susceptible to dental diseases.

Face aging

As shared above, when molars are lost for a long time, jaw bone loss will occur, leading to the risk of sunken cheeks, sagging skin, aging due to not having teeth to support the cheeks... on the outside, you will look older than your age.

There are ways to implant teeth. Which jaw?

Molar implantation with porcelain bridge

This method requires borrowing the strength of the two roots next to the missing tooth to make an abutment for the porcelain bridge, so when you lose a molar, you need to make sure the two teeth next to the missing tooth are still strong before you can apply the porcelain bridge method.

The doctor will grind the tooth stumps of the two abutment teeth and then put a bridge on top. The two crowns placed on the two tooth stumps will be hollow teeth and the restoration teeth at the lost teeth will be all-ceramic porcelain teeth or metal porcelain teeth depending on the type of porcelain teeth you choose.

How much does molar implant cost on the market?

When losing molars, many people have sought methods to restore missing teeth such as using removable jaws, making porcelain bridges or implants. SoHow much does a molar implant cost?on the market today? 

Removable dentures

Removable dentures are a traditional method of restoring lost molars and are quite cheap. With this method, the patient will use a denture mold made of plastic with a denture design on top to attach to the gum area at the tooth loss site. At the same time, dentures will be fixed through a metal frame to ensure stability and improve chewing function for the patient.

Removable denture method

Although removable dentures have a fairly low price, only from 300,000 - 1 million/tooth. However, this method can only restore 30 - 40% of chewing ability because it is not firmly fixed. Besides, removable dentures also cause discomfort during chewing and communication.

Molar implantation with ceramic bridge 

Different from removable dentures, porcelain bridge is a fixed tooth restoration method that helps improve chewing function. This method is done by grinding 2 adjacent teeth at the lost tooth position to create a supporting pillar, then restoring a porcelain bridge consisting of 3 - 4 porcelain teeth on top.

Although porcelain bridges are highly appreciated for their chewing ability and aesthetics compared to removable dentures. However, this method has a drawback: the number of missing teeth of the patient is not too large and is not applicable to the case of missing molar number 7. Because the principle of a porcelain bridge is to grind 2 adjacent teeth to make supporting posts, and tooth number 8 does not meet the conditions to make a bridge post. 

Like removable dentures, porcelain bridges can only restore the crown of the tooth, not the entire tooth root, so jaw bone loss will still occur after a period of use. The cost of porcelain dental bridges on the market today ranges from 3 - 24 million, depending on the number of missing teeth and the ceramic material chosen by the patient. 

For example, a patient used a porcelain crown costing 1 million to restore a lost molar. At this time, you will have to make a porcelain dental bridge including 1 crown to replace the lost tooth and 2 crowns to cover the 2 adjacent grinding tooth posts. Therefore, the cost of molar implantation in this case will be: 1,000,000 x 3 = 3,000,000 VND. 

Molar implantation using dental implants

Dental implantationis considered the most perfect missing tooth restoration technique today. Unlike conventional methods, dental implants can completely restore both the tooth root and crown. In particular, the Implant is implanted directly into the jawbone and acts like a real tooth root, the ceramic crown above is fixed to the Implant via the Abutment joint.
