It means pulling out the damaged tooth and replacing it with an artificial one, which is a titanium cylinder (screw) that is surgically placed into the jaw bone. This operation is done under local anaesthetic and under the supervision of a dental professional who ensures that there is no bleeding in the gums post surgery.
Furthermore, it is necessary to make sure that there are jawbones of high quality so the titanium screw can be placed effectively. Failing this, the dentist performs bone grafts using either natural bones or hormones to stimulate bone build-up. Once this has healed, the dental implant is applied.
Stages of Dental Implants
Dental implants are conducted in several routine stages at dental clinics and centers:
- The doctor prepares the specified place for implantation by placing the implants made of pure titanium metal in the jawbone in the place of the missing tooth.
- The jawbone and the implant are healed in what is called bone fusion. That takes six months for the upper jaw and three months for the lower jaw.
- The doctor prepares the final composition of dental implants. This phase includes a number of sessions, where the composition is prepared from oral prints. The doctor then installs it permanently on the implant.
It takes about half an hour to implant a tooth dental implants are accompanied by a slight pain that can be eased with ordinary painkillers.
Since it is more difficult to attach the implants to the upper jawbones, the implant success rate is 90% for the upper jaw and 95% for the lower jaw.
Implanted teeth can last for more than 20 years. The duration, of course, depends on how well the patient is taking care of his/her health and interest in the cleanliness and health of their teeth on a daily basis.
