Dental Implants

A dental implant is a "root" device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth. They are a form of restorative dentistry where artificial tooth replacements are used for functional and cosmetic purposes. Beyond providing people with aesthetic enhancements, implants also serve to stop or prevent jaw bone loss and can often be a good alternative to dentures or crowns.

 

 

 

Procedure

Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants, i.e., they appear similar to an actual tooth root and are placed within the bone The bone of the jaw accepts and osseointegrates with the titanium post. Osseointegration refers to the fusion of the implant surface with the surrounding bone. Dental implants will fuse with bone and heels like natural teeth.

 

 

 

Healing

The amount of time required for an implant to become osseointegrated is a hotly debated topic. Consequently the amount of time that practitioners allow the implant to heal before placing a restoration on it varies widely. In general, practitioners allow 2–6 months for healing but preliminary studies show that early loading of implant may not increase early or long term complications. For conventional implants, the subsequent time to heal, possibly graft, and eventually place a new implant may take up to eighteen months.

 

What Dental Implants Can Do?

 Replace one or more teeth without affecting the neighbouring teeth.
