What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to serve as replacement tooth roots. They offer an excellent solution for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, disease, or decay. Over time, the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a sturdy foundation for attaching an artificial tooth, known as a crown. This custom-made crown matches the size, shape, and color of your other teeth. Moreover, dental implants can also be used to support dental bridges or dentures.
Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure typically unfolds in stages over a few months, involving minor operations and assessments. Here's a breakdown of the key steps:
1. Scans and X-Rays: Initial scans and x-rays are taken to provide the dentist with a clear understanding of where to position the implant, including 3D x-rays (CBCT) during the consultation.
2. Implant Placement: In a minor operation, the dental implant is carefully positioned in the jawbone. You will usually be given anesthesia to ensure a pain-free procedure.
3. Bone Growth: Over time, the bone around the dental implant will grow, enhancing its stability.
4. Preparing for the New Tooth: Once the implant is secure, the groundwork for the new tooth or teeth is set.
5. Creating the Artificial Tooth: A mold of your mouth is taken to fabricate a custom artificial tooth or teeth.
6. Final Attachment: The artificial tooth or teeth are then either screwed or cemented onto the implant's foundation.
Although the dental implant procedure may take several months to complete, the lasting results make it a worthwhile investment for restoring your smile and oral health.
The Dental Implant Procedure
1. Consultation and Treatment Plan: Your first step is to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon. They will assess your suitability for dental implants and devise a personalized treatment plan, which may involve a 3D x-ray (CBCT) during the initial visit.
2. Placing the Implant Posts: If you are deemed a suitable candidate for dental implants, the next stage involves a series of minor surgeries to position the implant posts securely into your jawbone.
3. Bonding and Healing: After implant placement, time is allowed for the implants to bond with your jawbone. This process ensures a strong and stable foundation for the artificial tooth.
4. Adding the Abutment: Once the implants have successfully integrated with your jawbone, an abutment (connecting piece) is placed on the implants to support the crown.
5. Attaching the Replacement Tooth: The final step involves attaching a natural-looking replacement tooth or teeth to the abutment. This completes the dental implant procedure, offering a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution.
