Dental implants are the process of placing a screw on the jawbone. The screw is usually with a titanium or zirconium finish. This medical procedure is now the most advanced medicine.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are metal frames or posts like a tooth root that are positioned into your jawbone beneath the gums through surgery. These may be an option if you have lost your tooth or teeth due to an injury, periodontal diseases, or other dental reasons. They also benefit your overall oral health because, unlike bridges, they are not anchored to other teeth.
In case you are considering dental implants, your gums must be healthy and have adequate bone to support the implant. If your bone is too thin or soft and indicates that it may not be able to support an implant, your doctor might recommend a bone graft. Further, if there is not an adequate bone height in the upper jaw or if the sinuses are too close to the jaw, you might require a sinus lift.
Types of Dental Implants
Dental Implants are mainly of two types, and your dentist will recommend the best suitable type for your teeth.
Endosteal Implants
Subperiosteal Implants
What After The Procedure?
Although your dental implant will be successful, there are always a few tips that you must follow in order to retain their strength and support their longevity. Make it a habit to brush twice daily and floss your teeth regularly to help clean the areas that your toothbrush might not be able to reach.
If you are a smoker, then quit now as smoking only risks more damage to your implants and in the long run, your teeth. Visit your dentist regularly and take examinations to ensure your implants are in good condition and also oral health is well maintained. Lastly, avoid chewing on hard foods as they can weaken or break the crown.
