Dental Implant Procedure

No one likes to lose their teeth, but for some people, it's an inevitable part of the life. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to replace missing teeth, and dental implant procedure is one of them. Dental implants are one of the most effective procedures for replacing lost teeth and have very high success rates, depending on the dental implant surgeon's ability and the location that the implant is placed.

Dental implant treatment is a great option for people who have lost a few or even all of their teeth and have enough bone in the area of the missing teeth. Even if there is not enough bone left to facilitate the anchorage of the implants, a dental implant procedure might still be possible, along with a bone graft or sinus lift procedure.

A healthy tooth is made up of a crown - the part that shows above the gum line - and a root, which supports the tooth below the gum line. In a dental implant treatment, the root is replaced by an implant and a prosthetic crown is used to replace the natural crown.

In a dental implant procedure, titanium fixtures are placed into the jawbone and will act as an anchor for a naturally-appearing tooth or set of teeth. It needs a three to six month healing period before the implant restoration (crown) will be placed. Meanwhile the bone grows and anchors around the dental implant and creates a very strong support. The possibility of implant fail is very rare. After you have healed and the implant is taken, a crown is placed on the implant.

You have to take good care of your implants after the procedure. You should be examined by your dental implant dentist every three to four months and get them professionally cleaned by a hygienist. For long-term success of this dental implant procedure, you should brush and floss daily.
