Implants in dentistry; What is a dental implant?.. Unfortunately, a large number of adults lose their teeth due to accidents, root canal failure, disease, or decay.... When you lose a tooth, especially a front tooth, one's self-confidence decreases.... Regarding how to repair a damaged tooth, a consultation with a dental specialist such as a periodontist or a restorative dentist can determine which dentistry is best for you.. ### What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is literally permanently implanted in the place where a natural tooth has grown at that time.. The dental implant root is like a screw or rod.. Then a customized artificial tooth is attached to the screw and creates a permanent and natural replacement for the damaged tooth.. Dental prostheses... the problem of gum shrinkage, burning and changes in speech are solved with dental implants.
#### What are the advantages of dental implants?
One of its important advantages is that dental implants do not put any pressure on the surrounding teeth, especially compared to dental bridges.. Dental implants have been a common procedure for decades, so now this technology is done with minimal stress on the patient.. These will be the person's natural teeth.
### How is the dental implant process?
One of the reasons why dental implants are preferred over other treatment methods is that the implant screw or rod is given enough time to bond with the bone structure of the patient's gums, a process known as Osseointegration. Successful osseointegration plays a key role in making you feel like your natural tooth is restored. Osseointegration will last from three to six months...
After osseointegration, a temporary crown is placed over the screw, allowing that area of the gum to naturally form to accommodate the final custom crown.. This new dental implant will be the color, texture and size of your natural teeth.
### Will a dental implant be the right treatment for you?
For any individual advice on how to care for or perform treatment on your teeth, you should always consult a dental professional. Your dental professional will explain to you the time, cost, risks and probability of success of a dental implant procedure.
But in general, an ideal candidate for a dental implant is a person who has general health.... Other conditions that a suitable implant candidate has are healthy gums, enough bone to create a fuse or graft, and a commitment to follow-up after the operation..
People who probably aren't good candidates are people with compromised immune systems, acute medical conditions, younger people whose jaws are still growing, pregnant women, smokers, and people with chronic dental problems... Again, it's up to your periodontist and restorative dentist to decide if implants are right for you anyway.
### What are the necessary cares after the implant?
Of course, once you get your new tooth, you'll want to take care of it just like your other teeth....proper post-operative care is very important....regular brushing and flossing are essential to prevent plaque build-up and irritation....you'll be given a special toothbrush to make sure you're reaching the areas of the tooth....regular post-operative check-ups will also be done by your specialist..Dental implants are a significant investment in health and confidence. is... Protecting your oral health is the most important thing, but a big plus is making sure you feel a lot better when you smile.
