Dental implants are an excellent option for replicating missing or lost teeth as naturally as possible. They allow for normal chewing function, clear speech, and a beautiful smile. The appearance and color of restorations on dental implants are aesthetic and natural, and provide a realistic look and feel. With proper care, dental implants can last for many years. Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants do not require healthy neighboring teeth to be ground down. Additionally, dental implants provide lasting stimulation of the jawbone, promoting overall oral health. They significantly improve the quality of life by enabling normal chewing, speaking, and boosting self-confidence. Dental implants also reduce the risk of oral health problems as they securely anchor the restorations, providing a stable base. Overall, dental implants offer both aesthetic and functional benefits, enhancing the well-being of individuals with missing teeth.
The implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone. They serve as the basis for fixed restorations that are very similar in appearance and function to natural teeth. Dental implants are usually made of titanium or ceramic. These materials are extremely biocompatible and bond well with the jawbone. The implant screw is inserted into the jawbone in a surgical procedure. After a healing period of around six months, the restoration can be attached to the implant.
Dental Implants may be right for you if you have:
Missing teeth: dental implants can replace missing teeth and restore the dentition
Bone recession: Bone atrophy occurs when the bone is not loaded due to missing teeth. To counteract this bone loss, dental implants can be used.
An aversion to removable dentures: implants can act as fixed, high-quality dentures.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are an effective and long-lasting method of restoring missing teeth. They offer several advantages over other methods, including fixed tooth replacement, natural aesthetics, long durability, and protection of the jawbone.
Dental implants provide fixed restorations that look and function like natural teeth, improving chewing, speaking, and the smile. They have a natural appearance, are long-lasting, don't damage neighboring teeth, and protect the jawbone. Dental implants also improve quality of life and boost self-confidence while reducing oral health problems.
Dental Implant Treatment Steps
Treatment with dental implants is a treatment that takes place in several stages. The cost varies depending on the number of implants, the type and number of tooth replacements, and the location of the dentist. The effectiveness of dental implant treatment is notably high, with implants typically lasting for many years, to decades, in the majority of cases.
Before Treatment
During an initial consultation, a dentist informs patients about dental implant treatments, discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and detailing the procedure and costs. In the diagnostic phase, the dentist conducts a thorough examination, including a 3D X-ray, to assess teeth positioning, potential implant sites, and jaw relationships, which are essential for creating a treatment plan. We would be happy to advise!
Jaw Preparation*
In some cases, the jawbone must be built up before implant placement. This can be done by bone augmentation measures, such as the use of bone substitute material. Bone augmentation measures are necessary if the jawbone is not thick or wide enough to securely anchor the implant. Bone grafting material can be used to augment the jawbone.
Implant
Implantation typically occurs under local or general anesthesia, where the dentist drills a small hole in the jawbone to insert the implant, which is secured with a special threaded design. In certain cases, immediate implantation is feasible, allowing for the replacement of an extracted tooth within 48 hours, and sometimes this procedure can include immediate prosthetic restoration as well.
Post-Implantation Care
Following implantation, the implant requires three to six months to integrate with the jawbone, during which patients should avoid straining the implants, a factor to consider for any temporary restoration. After healing, a crown or bridge is attached to the implant, forming a fixed prosthesis. Regular check-ups and professional teeth cleaning appointments with the dentist are essential to monitor the condition and lifespan of the implants.
