Overview of Dental Implants

• A dental implant is a titanium post that is
  surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath
  the gum line that allows your dentist to mount
  replacement teeth or a bridge into that area.
  Dental implants also benefit general oral health
  because they do not have to be anchored to other
  teeth, like bridges.

What Is Dental Implants?

• A dental implant is a small titanium screw
  secured in the jawbone that serves as the
  replacement for the root portion of a missing
  natural tooth.
• Titaniums special property of fusing to bone
  allows the dental implant to stabilize the bone
  preventing bone loss and maintaining its shape
  and density.
• The implant serves as an anchor for the
  replacement tooth or teeth (single crowns,
  bridges or dentures)
• Dental implants are surgically placed into the
  jaw. They can be placed on either the upper or
  lower jaw.
• Dental implants can be used as a solution for
  replacing a single or multiple missing teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

• There are two types of dental implants
• Endosteal Implants These are surgically
  implanted directly into the jawbone. This is the
  most commonly used type of implant. This type of
  implant is generally used as an alternative for
  patients with bridges or removable dentures.
• Subperiosteal Implants These consist of a metal
  frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below
  the gum tissue. These types of implants are used
  for patients who are unable to wear conventional
  dentures and who have minimal bone height.

  for you. Most people are good candidates for
  implants. A good candidate should have the
  following

  general and oral health.
• The candidate should have a healthy gum and are
  old enough so that their jawbone has stopped
  growing.

• The candidate should also have enough bone to
  support and anchor the implants.
• The candidate who have lost bone in their jaw
  still can get implants, but first, the bone must
  be rebuilt using special procedures.
• The candidate must take a good care of the
  implanted teeth and surrounding gums. Daily
  brushing and flossing are essential. Regular
  visits to the dentist for follow-up are also
  important.

  teeth. They include
• A dental implant requires a greater financial
  investment.
• A dental implant also requires an investment in
  time, perhaps three to nine months from start to
  finish.
• Dental implant involves a risk of infection.

13
Maintenance of Dental Implants

• The daily care of dental implants is very
  similar to the care of natural teeth. Good
  maintenance tips for dental implants are as
  follows.
• Restored dental implants should be kept clean and
  plaque free. Brushing twice a day using a
  soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing is highly
  recommended.
• Cleaning is especially important after meals.
• Low-abrasive, tartar-control toothpaste.
• Dental floss for cleaning around the abutments.
• Antimicrobial mouth rinses.

  performance of
• dental hygiene at home but to regular visits to
  your dentist.

Dental Implant Materials

• The most common types of materials used in
  dental implants are
• Titanium implants It is made from metal Titanium
  is regarded as the most common type of dental
  implant materials. It provides long-lasting
  results and the cost is very reasonable. It
  remains one of the best dental implant materials
  of all times because it is biocompatible.
• Zirconia implants In contrast to titanium,
  zirconia is a recent invention. It is regarded as
  the most promising future of dental implant
  materials. It combines both post and abutment
  into making one unit. This reduces the fear of
  bacteria hiding and affecting the gum.

Procedure For Dental Implant

• A step by step procedure for a dental implant
  are
• Initial Consultation The very first thing you
  need to do is to meet our implant dentist Dr.
  Jared Anderson for an initial consultation.
  During this appointment, he will do a
  comprehensive dental exam, take an X-ray of your
  mouth, and then take impressions of your teeth.
• Bone Grafting Most dental bone grafting
  procedures are done to restore your bone to its
  previous form following tooth loss, gum disease
  or trauma. Bone grafting may also be used to
  maintain bone structure after tooth extraction.
  Restoring and maintaining facialbone structure is
  important for several reasons.

• Implant Placement You will be getting the
  implant which is a metal screw that goes into
  your bone and acts as an anchor for the whole
  prosthesis. This procedure can take 1-2 hours and
  youll be asleep the whole time thanks to
  anesthesia. The healing procedure takes up to
  five months for the lower jaw and seven months
  for the upper jaw.
• Placing The Healing Collar And Temporary Crown
  Our implant dentist will place the healing collar
  on the head of the implant, this helps guide the
  gum tissue in the proper way to heal. This collar
  will stay on for 10-14 days.

17

• Placing The Abutment In this, the screw is
  placed into the implant and will support the
  crown. Then youll get a temporary crown while
  your tissues continue to heal and form around the
  artificial tooth as with your natural teeth. You
  will wear the temporary crown for four to six
  weeks. During this time, your permanent crown
  will be made.
• Placing The Permanent Crown The final stage of
  procedure, a crown is placed. Crowns, which are
  the tooth-looking part, can either be screwed
  into the abutment or cemented in place.

How Will Dental Implant Affect My Life?

• A dental implant provides a range of
  advantages when it comes to tooth replacement.
  Teeth replaced with dental implant will look,
  feel and function like natural teeth. This means
  that you can eat and drink whatever you choose.
  But most importantly, dental implants improve
  quality of life in a very concrete way.
