What is dental implant?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium which are used to support crowns, bridges and dentures. Implants are placed in your jawbones through surgery, treated as a device available to replace your lost teeth roots, and then mount porcelain teeth which are identical to real ones into that area.

The birth of dental implants was considered as a remarkable achievement of the world dental industry 50 years ago. Why? The reasons lie in the fact that implants’ extraordinary healing process is the same as that of a real tooth. Dental implants eliminate all the limits set between porcelain and fake teeth methods. More important, dental implants are long-term and permanent teeth replacement solution, which only requires 1-time implement. 

However, the number of implants does not depend on the number of lost teeth. In fact, it depends on the quality and size of your jawbone. The longer the implant, the fewer implants needed to support the replacement of many teeth. Based on how many teeth you lost, our doctor will establish the most effective and economical treatment plan for you.

Parts of what creates the success of dental implants are the weight and quantity of the lost teeth’s jawbones, in which the implants will be mounted. However, because jawbones are preserved through the pressure and stimulus of chewing, so if you have long-term teeth loss or gum disease which results in the situation where normal chewing doesn’t occur, it will eventually lead to bone loss. That’s why in this case there are bone-grafting procedures that can be performed so that implants can be placed.

– Single Tooth Implant: This is the quickest and most effective teeth replacement method for the patients without damaging the neighbouring teeth. An implant screw made from titanium which is capable of integrating with your jawbone will be placed into your jaw and replace the lost natural tooth root. Getting a dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options due to its looking and functioning just like a natural tooth.

– Multiple Tooth Implants: As for the loss of several teeth, the best option for teeth replacement is implant-supported bridges. Unlike other common treatments for the loss of several teeth, implant-supported bridges replace teeth without support from adjacent natural teeth. Moreover, because implant-supported bridges are designed to replace some of your tooth roots, they will help to prevent future bone loss and guard against the loosening of surrounding teeth. In the long term, implants are esthetic, functional and comfortable. 

– Implant ALL ON 4: ALL ON 4 treatment is an excellent procedure provided for patients who have a complete denture or are missing most or all of their teeth. Four implants will be placed in suitable positions in order to form an arc, which will become a pedestal for the dental bridge above. Using only four implants per arc instead of one per tooth is not only a cost-effective solution but also limits the majority of time bone-grafting which is often required before getting dental implants.

– Implant ALL ON 6: An alternative solution for those who are missing a full arc of teeth or planning to have any remaining teeth removed and replaced with dental implants is ALL ON 6 treatment. The procedure creates a permanent prosthesis by using 6 dental implants which act as an anchor for a bridge or over-denture. Six implants are placed in the lower or upper jawbone to permanently anchor prosthetic teeth in place. The difference between ALL ON 4 and ALL ON 6 is that the latter uses an extra 2 implants to make the anchorage for the dental bridges to be tighter and more solid. Still, it’s up to you how many implants you can afford. Remember that there is no wrong answer or decision to be made.

Whether dental implant hurts or not depends on: Quick and effective implantation surgery, good use of anaesthesia, advanced technology, experienced dentists and specialists, etc. That’s why choosing a reliable dental office is extremely important when you’re planning to get implants. The right dentist would get you a completed treatment without complications and with the least amount of difficulty.
