• You went for a dental check-up, and your doctor
  suggested a dental implant to replace the damaged
  or decayed tooth. Now you have many questions
  related to the treatment, procedures, cost,
  side-effects, and result. Its wise to know about
  things that you will experience at some point in
  time. The more you understand how a dental
  implant works, the more prepared you can be for
  effective results. In this blog, we will try to
  answer questions that people not-so-frequently
  ask their dentist or are way too shy to raise
  one.

WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?

• A dental implant refers to a threaded titanium
  screw, strong enough to be placed inside the
  roots to a damaged/decayed tooth. The tip of the
  implant is secured using a cap or crown to
  prevent your mouth from hurting from overbite,
  underbite, or trauma unless it gets completely
  healed. A dental implant doesnt replace your
  tooth. It replaces the damaged root, and a
  cap/crown is placed above this root.

WHY DO I NEED A DENTAL IMPLANT?

• If you have a missing tooth, you already know the
  struggles improper biting, speech problem, and
  a distraction to your smile. Doctors recommend
  dental implant in Pune when patients have a
  single or series of missing tooth/teeth. The
  implant fills the gap created by a missing tooth
  and reconstructs a confident smile and quality
  oral hygiene. Also, many people become
  self-conscious while laughing or talking in
  public. A dental implant saves them the
  embarrassment of hiding their smile. The missing
  tooth can increase the risk of health conditions
  such as gum disease, tooth overlapping, weakened
  tooth, and gingivitis. A dental implant prevents
  such risks by offering a fuller, healthy, and
  beautiful smile.

CAN MY BODY REJECT A DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY?

• One in a million such cases occurs where the
  dental implant gets rejected by the patients
  body. Usually, the jawbone accepts the implant.
  It rejects the body when the patient is allergic
  to titanium. Another reason for dismissing dental
  implants can be poor oral hygiene post-surgery. A
  regular tooth falls off due to a lack of good
  oral hygiene. So, a dental implant rejecting a
  patients body should not come as a shock. Take
  care of your teeth and mouth. Brush your teeth
  twice a day, use Fluoride toothpaste, and keep
  your mouth clean and fresh after every meal to
  prevent germs from accumulating the sides of your
  gums.

WILL PEOPLE NOTICE MY DENTAL IMPLANT?

• Dental implants are created in the shape and
  color of your other teeth. So, there is no chance
  someone can notice it. Dental implants can only
  be discovered when the patient performs a
  radiograph. They look completely natural and
  perfectly blend with the look of your smile.
• DO DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST LONG?
• If taken proper care, dental implants can last
  for more than 40 years. They can also last for a
  lifetime with regular brushing, flossing, and
  never skipping a single dental check-up.
