Most of our patients have told us that there isn’t much discomfort during the dental implant procedure. However, we can administer local anesthesia too, to minimize any discomfort that the patient may experience during the surgery.
Dental implants surgery is performed by dental surgeons who are experts in oral restoration procedures. As part of the procedure, the dentists will also make impressions of your teeth to create artificial teeth that match them. Because of this, the artificial implants that are surgically placed feel, look and also function as well as natural teeth.
Conducted by trained dental surgeons, the dental implant procedure involves an evaluation and developing an individualized treatment plan as well as surgery. The procedure involves in placing the tooth root implant, made of titanium, into the missing tooth's jawbone socket. The socket is established firmly and securely anchors itself in the area as the jawbone heals.
Compared to dentures that are removable or bridges that can affect the adjacent teeth, dental implants are a lot safer. They also make you look good and offer a permanent solution to fallen teeth. More than anything, they are reliable unlike dentures, which can fall off your mouth anytime you eat or laugh.
The effects of missing teeth can be detrimental to your long term oral and medical health. Missing teeth are also recognized associated with old age and can make you look older than you are. Replacing missing teeth can dramatically improve your smile and the shape of your face.
Dental Implants were developed in 1952, in a laboratory in the university town of Lund' Sweden by Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, who had a “lucky” accident during bone grafting research. Much to his dismay, Dr. Brånemark discovered that it was impossible to recover any of the bone-anchored titanium microscopes he was using.
Dental implants are artificial replacements for missing teeth. Tooth loss may happen due to some health issues, gum disease, tooth decay, accident or other reasons. Your dentist can replace missing teeth with dental implants.
There are several options to consider when replacing missing teeth. Dentures and dental implants are the two most common solutions. The two differ in longevity, comfort, confidence while wearing, and effect on your pocket book.
