If you are missing one or more teeth and want to be able to eat your favorite foods, improve your chewing ability, and improve your appearance, speech, and self-esteem, dental implants may be an option for you. The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth and is manufactured from surgical grade titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) in strict accordance with specifications.
In the beginning, implants were placed either immediately after the missing tooth or after a period of time. If bone mass is insufficient, various methods can be used to increase bone mass prior to implant placement. An abutment, which serves as the base of a restoration—such as a single crown—is placed on the implant at the same time as the implant is placed or after healing. In the past, dentists have reserved or replaced teeth with treatments such as root canals, fixed bridges, and fixed or removable dentures. However, a large proportion of root canal-treated teeth are ultimately unretainable, while fixed bridges require grinding of healthy adjacent teeth, and removable dentures are often less stable and require cement. Artificial dental implants are the solution to these problems. Many concerns about natural teeth, including caries, do not exist for dental implants. Am I suitable for dental implants? Implant placement is usually completed within an hour and requires only local anesthesia. Postoperative discomfort is usually less severe than after tooth extraction. For cosmetic reasons, fixed temporary dentures are often put on immediately after the implant is placed so that you are not toothless. After a healing period of 3-6 months, the temporary healing abutment is removed from the implant and the final abutment is placed, on which a single crown or removable denture is placed.
