Dental Implant Surgery

Dentistry has come a long way in recent years, especially when it comes to dental implant surgery. Dental implants are surgically implanted metal posts placed beneath the gums in order to replace missing teeth or secure dentures. These implants are generally made of titanium which is a biocompatible material, meaning it won't be rejected by the body. The process of dental implant surgery has become increasingly common in dentistry as it is now considered to be a safe and effective way of restoring one’s teeth and giving back the confidence to smile. The procedure involves a series of steps, beginning with the examination of the patient's dental history and medical status. The dentist will then assess the patient's oral cavity through X-rays and 3D scans to ensure that the implant will fit comfortably, and also to ensure that there are no underlying dental issues that may affect the success of the implant. The implant itself is placed inside the jawbone and covered up with gum tissue to protect it during the healing process. Overtime, the implant will fuse with the bone and will become a permanent fixture in the mouth. This process is called osseointegration and typically takes several months. Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is installed on top of the implant, this will serve as an anchoring point for the false tooth or teeth. This is when the dentist will take impressions of the mouth so that a custom-made crown or denture can be created to fit over the abutment. Dental implant surgery is a safe, long-lasting and effective treatment option when it comes to replacing missing teeth or stabilizing dentures. Not only does it improve the overall look of one’s teeth, but dental implants can also help maintain the jaw bone structure by preventing bone deterioration in the area where the teeth are missing.
