What is Dental Implant?
Dental implant has revolutionized in dentistry for functional replacement for missing tooth/teeth due to periodontal disease, decay, injuries, etc. The dental implant is a titanium screw which will be fused to bone within 3-6 months after surgery. These implants can then be used to anchor crowns, bridges and dentures. The prosthodontist will surgically place an implant to patients without harming the remaining teeth and soft tissue with the most natural look.
Are you a candidate for dental implant?
The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health: adequate bone in jaw to support the implant, and have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.
However, patients should consult your dentist to see the possibility in treatment. Patients will be evaluated by dentist at a consultation appointment with respect to their jaw size, quality and quantity of bone, also the condition of the opposing dentition. There are many types of treatment options which time factor can vary according to treatment options, number of teeth replaced and patients’ health. Your dentist will assist in determining the proper procedure option.
Side effect
Side effect will depend on type of implant and patients’ health. They may feel numb for 2-3 days or to week as a result of the sedation including some swelling around the implant area which mostly temporary effects of a successful procedure. Then these symptoms will be relaxed.
