Many people lose their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or other causes. Dental implant is the best option for those suffering from tooth loss because it provides numerous benefits.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a technique for replacing missing teeth that involves implanting artificial tooth roots directly into the jawbone. These implants, which are typically made of titanium, provide a solid foundation for replacement teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Before going through any procedure, it’s essential to understand its importance and effectiveness in solving problems. The benefits of dental implantation include:
- Restoring the ability to chew.
- Protecting adjacent teeth from damage.
- Improves oral health.
- Maintaining jawbone density.
All of these advantages can be achieved with dental implants, which require little special care and produce long-term results.
Requirements for dental implants
Certain conditions must be met for dental implantation:
- Patients should ideally be at least 18 years old.
- Good overall health, free of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis.
- Enough jawbone in the area where the implant will be placed.
- Smokers should quit prior to implantation.
Is dental implantation painful?
No, dental implantation is not painful because it is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the nerves surrounding the implant area, resulting in a painless procedure.
How does a dental implant work?
Dental implants involve several different steps:
Preparation:
- Examination of teeth and jaws through X-rays.
- Comprehensive dental examination to ensure suitability for implantation.
- Treatment of gum diseases before implantation.
- Taking impressions of the tooth to be implanted.
During Implantation:
- Local anesthesia administration.
- Creating a cavity in the jawbone at the implant site.
- Placing the implants securely into the jawbone.
- Attaching suitable artificial teeth to the implants.
After Implantation:
- Avoid eating for a few hours following the procedure.
- Take prescribed medications on time.
- Maintain daily oral hygiene.
- Quit smoking.
- Regular follow-up appointments with the dentist.
How long does it take to get Dental Implants?
The duration of dental implantation varies depending on the quality of the jawbone, but it usually lasts between one and two hours. Patients may require two visits to the dental clinic, with a two to six month gap between each visit.
How Much do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implantation varies depending on several factors:
- The quality of medical technologies used.
- The number of missing teeth.
- The number of sessions required for implant.
- Costs for X-rays and pre-implantation procedures.
- Dental expertise and qualifications.
