How Dental Implants Help You Smile Brighter?
  • A Way to Permanently Remove any Damages to Your
    Teeth

2
Basics or Know-How of Dental Implants
  • Titanium, combined with few other metals, is used
    to create an anchor.
  • This anchor is safe for human body and does no
    harms. It is placed into a jaw by drilling and
    allowed to set for a period ranging from 3 to 6
    months.
  • When the jaw has healed sufficiently, a precisely
    measured crown is placed on top of the anchor.
  • If the healing time is longer, a temporary crown
    can also be placed.
  • The anchor blends in with jaw bones over time
    making the jaw stronger.
  • This process is known as osseointegration.

    dentist, the regular procedure may be as follows
  • Scanning the actual position of the tooth to be
    replaced by X-ray and CT scan.
  • Removal of the infected or damaged part.
  • Correction of sinus or bones.
  • Measuring the crown size.

What are The Types of Dental Implants?
  • Depending upon the position where they are being
    placed, there are two types
  • Endosteal Implants these implants are directly
    placed into a patients jawbone. They are the
    most common types of implants. They are preferred
    when a patient has a strong jawbone.
  • Subperiosteal Implants these implants are placed
    into the gums but are not in direct contact with
    the bone. They are preferred in cases where the
    patients natural jawbone does not have enough
    density to hold the implants.

What are The Types of Dental Implants?
  • Depending upon the number of teeth to be
    operated, there are three types of it
  • Single tooth This is the most ordinary dental
    implant and involves working on a single tooth.
  • All-on-4 This involves operating multiple teeth
    together. It can be done on 10-14 teeth.
    Typically, four anchors and four crowns are added
    attached to each other.
  • All-on-6 It is much like all-on-4 type except
    that there are 6 anchors.

    almost everyone. But, following conditions are

How Much do Dental Implants Last?
There is no fixed time period of how long do the
implants last. It varies from person to person
and there are many factors which decide the
longevity of dental implants. Lifestyle habits
like smoking and drinking hinder the lasting time
of the implants. Also, health conditions, oral
hygiene routine and age of a person are crucial
factors. There are cases when the implants have
lasted a lifetime. And generally, they do last
for somewhere between 7 to 13 years.

Conclusion
When opting for dental implants, oral hygiene
plays a crucial role. A healthy oral hygiene
routine is to be followed before and after the
surgery and it will not work if not maintained
properly. The popularity of dental implants is
spreading widely as it works for all ages. From
single tooth rectification to being an anchor for
dentures, it can be used effectively. For more
