Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth
2
What are Dental Implants?

• Dental implant is likely the best permanent
  solution for those suffering from tooth loss. A
  dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth
  root that holds a prosthetic tooth in place. The
  prosthetic tooth will not require any special
  denture creams, pastes, or glues to stay in
  place. Because it is an artificial root rather
  than just a tooth, it also doesnt require the
  support of neighboring teeth the way a crown
  does. This makes dental implants ideal for those
  who are missing multiple teeth, or those who
  simply dont want to damage additional teeth in
  order to replace one.

How do Dental Implants Work?

• Dental implants are made up of titanium and other
  materials that are compatible with the human
  body. They are posts that are surgically placed
  in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as
  a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.
• Dental implants enhanced ability to chew and
  enjoy your food, and often protection of your
  remaining teeth and jawbone.
• To receive implants, you need to have healthy
  gums and adequate bone to support the implant.
  You must also commit to keeping these structures
  healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular
  dental visits are critical to the long-term
  success of dental implants.

Types of Dental Implants

• Various types of dental implants are available,
  including
• Endosteal (in the bone) This is the most
  generally utilized kind of insert. The different
  sorts incorporate screws, chambers or cutting
  edges surgically set into the jawbone. Every
  insert holds one or more prosthetic teeth. This
  kind of insert is by and large utilized as an
  option for patients with extensions or removable
  dentures.
• Subperiosteal (on the bone) These are set on top
  of the jaw with the metal system's posts
  projecting through the gum to hold the
  prosthesis. These sorts of inserts are utilized
  for patients who can't wear ordinary dentures and
  who have negligible bone stature.

What are the options for implant tooth
replacement?

•  We have different option to restoring a missing
  tooth
• Single Tooth Replacement
• Single-tooth implants can be used in people who
  are missing one or more teeth. An implant is
  surgically placed in an opening that your dentist
  makes in the jawbone. After the implant
  integrates (attaches) to your bone, it acts as a
  new "root" for the crown that will replace your
  missing tooth. A crown (cap), which is made to
  look like a natural tooth, is attached to the
  implant and fills the space left in the mouth by
  the missing tooth.

Multiple Tooth Replacement

• Replacing multiple teeth using dental implants
  with individual crowns or with an
  implant-supported fixed bridge gives your teeth a
  level of fit, feel and functionality that is not
  possible with other treatment options. The
  process is often completed over multiple
  visitsPlacement of the dental implants that
  will be used to support your replacement teeth.
  Temporary teeth can be placed while the dental
  implant integrates with your natural bone to form
  a strong foundation for your replacement teeth.
  Most people return to work the next day, and any
  discomfort can typically be treated with commonly
  used pain medication.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

• If you are missing all of your teeth, an
  implant-supported full bridge or full denture can
  replace them. Dental implants will replace both
  your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.
• Placement of the abutments, or connectors placed
  on, or built into, the top of the implant to help
  connect your replacement teeth, if needed.
  Additional connecting devices needed to attach
  multiple replacement teeth to the implants also
  may be placed at this time.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Improved appearance Dental implants look and
  feel like your own teeth. And because they are
  designed to fuse with bone, they become
  permanent.
• Improved speech With poor-fitting dentures, the
  teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to
  mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow
  you to speak without the worry that teeth might
  slip.
• Improved comfort Implants eliminate the
  discomfort of removable dentures. And can make
  chewing difficult allowing you to eat your
  favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
• Improved self-esteem Dental implants can give
  you back your smile and help you feel better
  about yourself.
• Improved oral health Dental implants don't
  require reducing other teeth, as a
  tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth
  are not altered to support the implant, more of
  your own teeth are left intact, improving
  long-term oral health. Individual implants also
  allow easier access between teeth, improving oral
  hygiene.
• Durability Implants are very durable and will
  last many years. With good care, many implants
  last a lifetime.
• Convenience Removable dentures are just that
  removable. Dental implants eliminate the
  embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures,
  as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep
  them in place.

How much do dental implants cost?

• Well, it depends on several things such as the
  material of the bridge and the crown and the
  location (where you get the bridge done). There
  are many variants of material for crowns and the
  dental bridge. There are stainless steel crown,
  metal crown, porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, all
  resin dental crown, and all porcelain or all
  ceramic crown. And you have metal, porcelain or
  even gold for your dental bridge. Well, at least
  you don't have to be a rapper to have some
  sparkling gold teeth.

Are Dental implants safe?

• Dental implant surgery is one of the safest and
  most predictable procedures in dentistry when
  performed by a trained and experienced dental
  implant dentist. A dental implant is the
  strongest device available to support replacement
  teeth, and it allows your replacement teeth to
  feel, look and work naturally. In addition,
  dental implants are the only restoration method
  that stimulates your natural bone underneath the
  missing tooth.

How do I care for my dental implants?

• Caring for teeth restored with dental implants is
  just like caring for your natural teeth brush,
  floss and maintain regular dental cleanings and
  check-ups, as scheduled. Additional cleaning aids
  also may be recommended to help you keep your
  teeth healthy at home.
