Dental implants are mounts or frames that are inserted into the jawbone in cases where teeth have been lost. After they have been integrated into the jawbone, the dentist can attach replacement teeth on top of them.
Advantages of Implants
• Implants are permanent and are not removable.
• Implants resemble natural teeth.
• Implants make it easy to bite and chew.
• Implants can replace a single missing tooth and will not impact other teeth.
Dental i
mplants can be divided in different categories: endosteal, subperiosteal, transosteal, and intramucosal implant categories. However, because of their advantages, almost every dentist uses either endosteal or subperiosteal implants.
Endosteal Implants. Endosteal implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Each implant typically is used to hold one artificial tooth, although in some cases, they can hold more, for example, a bridge or even an entire denture. Implants require more than one office visit. In the first visit, the dentist inserts the implant, and after the gum tissue has healed, the artificial tooth is put in place.
Subperiosteal Implants. These implants are used mainly on patients who have very low bone height and for some reason they can’t or don’t want to wear conventional dentures. The dentist has to fit a metal frame on the jawbone under the gum tissue. When the gums heal, the frame gets attached to the jawbone. The metal frame includes metal posts, which protrude through the gums. When the gums have healed, the dentist attaches artificial teeth to these posts.
How to Choose the Best Dental Implant for you
It’s very hard for a patient to know what type of dental implant he or she needs. There are so many variables that need to be understood that the average person cannot make an informed decision without input from a dentist. The best course of action is to talk with a reputable dentist about the best options for your case and to learn what the advantages and disadvantages are. Only then can you make an informed decision.
