Preston Implant Dentists best alternative Solution to Teeth Loss,

In the past, patients who lost their teeth had to settle for dentures or bridges to fill the gaps. at certain times the dentures would get loose and speaking or eating gets hard. These basic tooth replacement options also cannot stop the bone loss in the area where there tooth was previously extracted. Recent development in dentistry can now offer an advanced solution, where the missing teeth can be replaced by gum line to create a permanent replacement along the jaw bone. 

A dental implant is an artificial replacement of the root of the tooth and is used in prosthetic dentistry as a means of supporting restorations that act as teeth. Dental implants are placed into the jawbone of the patients mouth and function as the root of  the patients tooth. Surprisingly, dental implants have actually been around for many years. Dental Implants date as far back as the Mayan civilization, 1,350 years ago. However, the use of titanium was only discovered in the 1950s, and in 1969 a US Patent was filled for titanium dental implants. Titanium has a unique property that, unlike most foreign substances, the body does not reject it. When the titanium implant is placed into the mouth, the organism adopts it as its own by actually growing bone around it so that it effectively adheres to the titanium.

A dental implant looks a bit like a screw and can be implanted into the bone of the jaw at the same time as the natural tooth is removed by placing the implant into the socket wall. Dental Implants should be placed by a dental specialist who has had formal postgraduate training in dental implant dentistry. If the dentist has not received sufficient training, complications could arise. Qualified implant dentists who are highly trained experts in dental Implantology and should be your number one port of call for carrying out the dental implant procedure.

Dental implants have three sections. The first part is the titanium implant fixture, which fuses with the jawbone. Abutment is the second part which sets over the top part of the implant to provide space for the crown to stick on. The last element is the crown that is created to be similar to the remaining teeth for a dependable natural appearance. When all three of these components are successfully fitted into place, the dental implant is considered complete. 

At the start of the procedure the implant is placed in the gap/open space. This technique is mostly completed in one sitting at the clinic of the dentist or oral surgeon. The implant after being placed leads to a phase known as Osseointegration. Through this phase the implant mixes with the jawbone to turn into an everlasting fitting in the mouth. Osseointegration mostly takes almost three to six months to finish and during this phase the remaining implantation procedure could be done.

3-6 months later, after the healing period, a temporary crown is placed on abutment, in order to promote a better formation and adaption of the soft tissues surrounding the successful implant. Once the gum has fully developed in the area, the permanent crown can be connected and the dental implant procedure is considered to be complete. After treatment, your Implant dentist will work closely with you to develop the best care 

plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
