What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are prosthetics that are used to replace lost teeth and improve the appearance and functionality of the smile. In contrast to conventional dental restorations such as dentures and bridges, which are supported by neighboring teeth or rest on the gum line, dental implants are cemented directly into the jawbone, imitating the form and function of real teeth. Dental Implants, which consist of a prosthetic crown, an abutment, and a titanium implant device, provide a strong, long-lasting option for those who want to confidently regain their smiles.

Better Oral Health

Dental implants preserve the integrity of the natural dentition and support long-term oral health because they do not require the preparation or alteration of neighboring teeth, in contrast to traditional dental restorations.

The Dental Implant Procedure & Maintenance

Initial Consultation

A thorough examination and consultation with a dental implant specialist is the first step in the procedure. During this time, the patient's medical history, oral health, and treatment objectives are evaluated. Plans for implant placement and an assessment of the quantity and quality of the jawbone can be made using diagnostic imaging techniques like CT and X-rays.

Implant Placement

Following the creation of a treatment plan, the dental implant fixture is surgically inserted beneath the gum line into the mandible. To ensure patient comfort, local anesthetic is usually used during this surgery. To maximize the implant site, other surgeries like sinus augmentation or bone grafting can be required, depending on the particular conditions of the patient.

Osseointegration

After an implant is inserted, the surrounding bone tissue and the implant fixture merge to form a strong, long-lasting link. This process is known as osseointegration. Over the course of this procedure, which usually takes several months, the patient's jawbone progressively develops and fuses with the implant surface.

Abutment Placement

An abutment is affixed to the implant fixture to function as a link between the implant and the prosthetic crown after osseointegration is finished. Under local anesthetic, this technique is usually carried out as a minor surgical procedure.

Prosthetic Restoration

After the abutment has been placed and the soft tissues have healed, the final prosthetic crown is custom-designed and fabricated to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding natural teeth. The crown is then securely attached to the abutment, completing the restoration and restoring function and aesthetics to the smile.

Long-Term Maintenance

Although dental implants are known for being strong and long-lasting, regular upkeep is necessary to guarantee their effectiveness in the long run.
The following advice can be used to maintain dental implants throughout time:
    ▪️ Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
    ▪️ Attend Dental Exams on a Regular Basis
    ▪️ Avoid Smoking and Tobacco Use
    ▪️ Be Aware of Food Habits
    ▪️ Put on a Nightguard
    ▪️ Address Any Concerns Promptly

Are dental implants durable in the long term?

Dental implant provides a transformative answer for people experiencing the psychological and physical effects of tooth loss that go beyond simple aesthetics. Dental implants have a significant impact on a person's quality of life in addition to improving grin function and beauty. They allow a person to eat, speak, and interact with others with confidence and ease. Because of their long-term advantages, remarkable longevity, and natural appearance, dental implants enable people to regain their smiles and face life with a fresh lease on life and confidence.

How long do dental implants last?

When dental implants are placed properly, and kept up with good oral hygiene habits, they can last for decades. In fact, it’s common for patients to keep their implants for the rest of their lives. 
On the other hand, although restorations like dental crowns and bridges are made from durable materials, the regular wear they endure from chewing and biting means that they will  likely need to be replaced at some point to ensure your continued oral health.

Can dental implants get infected?

arrow icon

Although rare, it is possible for dental implants to become infected. A condition known as “peri-implantitis,” an infected dental implant is most often a result of the implant not being cleaned or cared for correctly following oral surgery. 

The best way to avoid the risk of peri-implantitis is to carefully follow your dentist’s instructions for recovery, and to keep up with good oral hygiene habits, like regular brushing and flossing, once your dental implant has healed.

Will dental implants stop bone loss?

arrow icon

Yes, and they’re the only dental restoration that does so. Bone loss, also known as bone resorption, occurs after losing a tooth, when your jaw stops being stimulated by the natural forces that come from chewing and biting, causing your jaw bone to weaken.

When a dental implant bonds directly with the jaw bone, it acts as an artificial root in that it effectively transmits the pressure of chewing and biting into your jaw bone, providing stimulation to keep your bone from losing density.

Can dental implants be done in one day?

arrow icon

For some cases, there are several types of dental implants that can be completed in just one appointment. However, the restoration will be a temporary prosthetic to keep your bite functional and to protect the implant site until you’ve finished healing from the placement surgery. The temporary restoration ensures that you will be able to eat and speak normally during the healing process.

Healing usually lasts between 3-6 months, and during this time your dentist will schedule a series of follow-up visits. They will monitor your healing progress and take impressions of your teeth and gums, which will be sent to our dental lab. The lab will use these images to custom-craft your permanent restoration, a more durable, natural-looking prosthetic than your temporary one.
