Dental implants are dental restorations used to replace missing teeth. To replace missing teeth with dental implants, false tooth roots are surgically placed into the jaw to mimic the properties of a natural tooth root. Dental implants use false tooth roots that are made up of titanium, a biocompatible metal. These titanium roots integrate with the natural bone and become a part of it, hence providing strong anchoring. The false tooth roots are then attached to crowns or bridges, using an abutment, to restore the upper structure of teeth.
You should use dental implants for the various following reasons:
Dental implants can be successfully installed in the mouth in two visits to your dentist.
On the first day of your visit, a comprehensive examination is performed to calculate your oral health. The health of your gums and underlying bone structure is specifically checked to examine whether the bone will be able to support a dental implant or not. If you have enough bone structure to successfully support a dental implant, your dentist will begin with the procedure. The area where the implant needs to be installed is numbed using an anesthetic. An incision is made in the gums, and a titanium root is implanted in the jaw bone. An abutment or screw is attached to the root, and the gum is secured with stitches. The titanium root is given 3-6 months to fully integrate with the natural bone structure and heal.
You will be called for a second visit after you have completely healed from the minor surgery performed during the first visit. Your dentist will bond a custom-fabricated crown or bridge to the abutment to restore the full functionality of the tooth.
