Dental Implant
Dental Implant
A Dental Implant is actually a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line which works as a tooth root. After insertion, an implantologist will attach the crown on top of the implant to ensure that the teeth appear natural. The best part about teeth implants is that they not only look or feel like your natural teeth but function like them as well.

Unlike other options for replacing teeth, Dental implants do not compromise the health of adjacent teeth in the long term. For preparing bridges, adjacent healthy teeth need to be cut down in order to place the bridge. Removable dentures clasp the adjacent tooth for stability which makes that tooth mobile in the long run.
90-95 percent success rate has been reported over a period of practice for implants. This is significantly better than the success rates for other methods of tooth replacement, such bridges and dentures. Success depends on various factors like health and habits of the individual. Dental implants are resistant to decay. However they are susceptible to gum disease. Diligent home care and regular checkups by dentist are vital to maintain health of dental implant. As everybody is different, it is difficult to predict exactly how long your implant will last. If an implant fails it is possible to replace it with another implant of a larger size.
Teeth are lost for various reasons, during our lifetime. Missing front teeth can result in a visible empty space affecting your looks and confidence and can also affect your speech. Losing teeth causes other teeth to shift in the empty space. If the back teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to shrink which changes the shape of your face and may cause you to look prematurely aged.

Anyone who is missing one or more teeth is a candidate for dental implants. However, there are certain conditions that may not allow implant placement, such as chronic uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, bisphosphonate therapy and bone loss.
The treatment time varies for three to six months. Most of the time is spent waiting for the implant to fuse with the bone which goes on below the gums without any feeling or awareness. Treatment time depends upon the initial amount of bone present. Complex cases may take more time to be finished.
No. With superior local anaesthesia techniques available the discomfort associated with getting implants is far less than expected. It is almost equal or less than having a tooth extracted.

Definitely, in fact implants are most frequently requested by denture wearers only. Dental implants can help provide retention and support to removable dentures. Or the dentures can also be fixed in place with the help of implants, only the dentist can remove this from mouth.
Ideally as soon as you get your tooth extracted. Sometimes it is possible to place an implant immediately after extraction too. After a tooth is removed, the bone starts shrinking. Good amount of bone is required for implant placement. In cases where there is a lot of bone resorption, bone graft is required which increases the total cost of the procedure.
Implant care depends upon the prosthesis used to replace teeth. Single implant-supported crowns are cleaned exactly like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. People with bridges or overdentures require special brushes to clean beneath them Regular half-yearly visits to the dentist are recommended.
