Teeth are vital parts of our bodies that require special attention because various dental problems are affecting people today. Some of the best remedies include dental implants which we shall see later in this article. Read on and find out.

Dental implants are artificially used to fix or replace tooth roots. They are a long-term solution to people with chronic dental problems or falling teeth compared to crowns, bridges, and dentures. This is because they function naturally like normal teeth which makes someone feel secure and comfortable. Most dentists use a medical-grade titanium implant because it fuses with the jawbone to provide a strong Anchorage. There is no need for frequent replacement maintenance.

These dental implants have three parts which include: the implant, the abutment, and the crown. All these parts have their respective uses to ensure the dental implants meet the intended objectives.

Types of Dental Implants

There are three main types of dental implants. These include:-

Endosteal Implants

This popular type of implants which are suitable for people who require healthy jawbone. The good thing with this implant is that it takes little time to heal and once it heals false teeth can be placed to fit alongside the surrounding teeth.

Subperiosteal implants

If you’re not comfortable with endosteal implants then this one can be suitable for you. This is because instead of fixing the implant on the jaw it is rested on top of the bone under the gum. A metallic frame post is fitted under the gum which will eventually heal around the frame to hold it firmly onto its place. The false teeth can now be fitted without necessarily undergoing intense surgery.

Zygomatic Implants

This type of implants is not common because it requires complicated procedure and it can only be done under one condition that you might probably have inadequate jawbone. Therefore this implant is placed on the cheekbone, unlike the other implants.

If there are some complications then your dentist can recommend some other techniques like bone augmentation which requires fortification of the Bone by using some additives. Other procedures include a sinus lift and ridge expansion.

Why Are Dental Implants Done

The way dental surgery is done depends on the condition of the jawbone and the type of implants. The dental implant surgery may involve some surgical procedures but the major benefit is that you will have solid support for your teeth. Therefore the implants are placed on the jawbone which serves as the roots to prevent the teeth from slipping off.

Typically, dental implants might be good for you if you have a missing teeth, you have healthy oral tissues, you want to improve your speech, you don’t smoke tobacco, you are willing to be committed the process, you don’t have health condition that will affect the bone healing, you have adequate jawbone to secure the implants and the jawbone should have reached full growth.Dental implants require a proper planning process which may involve various specialists to ensure you are ready for the process. This involves comprehensive dental exams where 3D x-ray images will be taken. Afterward, a review of medical history will be done to ensure you don’t have any medical conditions such as orthopedic implants and heart condition before surgery is done. This helps in the prevention of infection.

The treatment plan will be tailored depending on the number of teeth that should be replaced and the condition of the jawbone. During the surgery, anesthesia will be used to ease the pain. The entire process can take months to be completed depending on the situation, the procedure or the materials that will be used.

Bottom Line

Dental implants fuse on to your jawbone to ensure you feel comfortable especially when speaking or eating. It is important to visit a competent specialist who will do the surgery for you and guide you appropriately on what to do until you’re completely healed.
