Dental implants are designed to replace the missing teeth and restore your oral health. They are primarily made from titanium, which is a sturdy and durable material. Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone to restore the missing teeth and bring back the lost aesthetics of your smile.
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
- Dental implants are strong and durable. They can last for several years without any hassle.
- Implants provide excellent aesthetics. The prosthetic tooth looks exactly like the natural one, thereby restoring your smile's aesthetics.
- They offer excellent functionality. With an implant in place, you can bite and chew food as you always used to with your natural teeth.
- Dental implants are highly customizable. We can match them with the exact appearance of your existing teeth, making them indistinguishable from the adjoining natural teeth.
- Implants restore oral functionality and phonetics.
- Implants offer the stability that helps to prevent jawbone deterioration.
- They do not require regular maintenance as other dental solutions do.
- Implants offer an excellent solution for both the bottom and top gaps of your mouth.
- Implants can be used to restore both single and multiple missing teeth simultaneously.
What Is the Procedure for Placing a Dental Implant?
Placing a dental implant involves two surgical procedures, known as implantation and osseointegration. During implantation, the implant will be inserted into the jawbone through a small incision in the gum tissues. The implant is inserted in two parts - the post and the titanium screw. The post will be inserted into the bone, while the screw will be covered by gum tissues to protect it from external damage.
Once the implant is fixed in place, it will take about six months for osseointegration to occur during which time you can visit our practice for regular consultations. During this period, we will place a temporary restoration in place until the implant becomes fully integrated with the jawbone, which is when you will come back to our practice to have it replaced with a permanent restoration like a dental crown or bridge.
