Implant 101: Your Essential Guide to Dental Implants
Replacing missing teeth is not just about aesthetics; it is vital for maintaining chewing function and preserving jawbone health. In modern dentistry, dental implants are the most natural and long-lasting method to meet this need.
What is a Dental Implant? As artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium, implants have been successfully applied for over 60 years. In this guide, we provide answers to the most common questions about the implant process.
Why are Dental Implants Necessary?
Protect Healthy Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, only the missing area is treated without touching the adjacent healthy teeth.
Prevent Bone Loss
By stimulating the jawbone, implants prevent the bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss.
Natural Comfort
They feel like your own teeth; they won't slip while eating or speaking, giving you full confidence.
The Implant Process: Frequently Asked Questions
How long do implants last?
Once successfully integrated with the bone (osseointegration), implants can last a lifetime with proper oral care. Titanium's durability is designed to outlast human life.
Is the surgery painful?
No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will feel no pain during the operation. Any minor discomfort afterward can be easily managed with simple pain relievers.
When are permanent teeth fitted?
It usually takes 2 to 4 months for the implant to fully integrate with the bone. After this period, your permanent, aesthetic prostheses are fitted.
