Dental Implants In Chastwood

When a patient of any age loses one, multiple, or even all of their teeth due to injury, defects, disease or decay, implants become a highly successful tooth-replacement solution. Implants protect your jawbone from deterioration and loss of strength and firmness, keep adjacent teeth from shifting, and remain fixed in place. The biggest advantage of the implant is they look, function, and feel like natural teeth.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into an individual’s jaw to hold a replacement tooth.

Types of Dental Implants

 Endosteal
The endosteal is one of the most common types of dental implants that are generally used for individuals that have dentures that are removable.

Subperiosteal
The subperiosteal implants are those that are placed on top of the jaw. These are normally used on individuals that are not able to wear conventional dentures as well as those that don’t have the minimal bone height that is required.

How they are done

  • First and foremost, the dentist examines the individual’s teeth carefully and takes a number of x-rays to determine whether the implants will agree with the said individual
  • This is then preceded by a dental implant being placed into the individual’s jawbone by the dentist as well as some stitching of the gum back into place. This will see the tissue heal as the implant bonds with the bone and attaches to the gum
  • Once the tissue has completely healed, the dentist will proceed to attach an abutment to the implant
  • After which an artificial replacement tooth is made and attached to the abutment by the dentist

Most especially because teeth play an important role in further accentuating our aesthetic appearance.

How to care for Implants

Seeing as the implant feels and looks like your natural teeth, it is pertinent to render it the same type of care that you normally provide to your natural teeth. This will include brushing and flossing your teeth regularly as well as checking in with the dentist every once in a while for regular checkups.
