What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. They are commonly made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with the bone. Dental implants provide a strong and durable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, allowing individuals to restore their smile and regain full functionality.
Who is a suitable candidate for Dental Implants?
Most individuals with missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, it is important to have good oral health and sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the implants. A consultation with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon is necessary to assess your specific condition and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
How are Dental Implants placed?
The dental implant procedure is typically performed in multiple stages. First, the dentist or oral surgeon places the implant into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Over a period of several months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has integrated, an abutment is attached to it, and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is secured on top, creating a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.
What is the success rate of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically ranging from 95% to 98%. The success of the implant depends on various factors, including the patient's oral health, the quality of bone, proper implant placement, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. With proper maintenance and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
