Dental Implants

The process involves extracting the damaged tooth and replacing it with an artificial one. The artificial tooth is a titanium cylinder (screw) that gets surgically implanted into the jawbone. A dental professional performs the operation under local anesthesia. They ensure there is no bleeding in the gums after the surgical procedure.

Additionally, it is important to ensure the jawbones are of high quality so the titanium screw can be properly placed. If the jawbones are not of sufficient quality, the dentist will perform bone grafts using either natural bone material or hormones to encourage bone growth. After the grafted bone has healed, the dental implant can then be inserted.

Stages of Dental Implants

Dental implants are conducted in several routine stages:

1. The dentist gets the designated area ready for implant placement by putting implants made of pure titanium metal into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be.
2. The jawbone and the implant fuse together in a process called bone fusion. This fusion process takes six months to complete in the upper jaw and three months in the lower jaw.
3. The dentist gets the final dental implant prosthesis ready. This stage involves multiple appointments where the prosthesis is made from impressions of the mouth. The dentist then permanently fixes it onto the implant.

The process of inserting a dental implant takes around thirty minutes. There is a minor pain associated with dental implants, which can be relieved with standard pain medication. Because it is more challenging to connect the implants to the upper jawbone, the success rate for implants in the upper jaw is 90%, while it is 95% for the lower jaw. Teeth replacements implanted in this way can survive over twenty years. Naturally, the longevity relies on the patient's overall health and dedication to daily dental hygiene and maintenance.
