Dental Implants are generally made from Titanium and are essentially a screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone. Dental Implants take on the role of an anchor within the mouth, which is then used to fasten ‘false teeth’ into position.
As the mouth heals, approximately two to six months after surgery; the bone and Implant begin to fuse together. Small posts or abutments are then attached to the Implants, which are used to anchor Crowns, Bridges or Dentures.
Dental Implants will enable you to recover the natural function of your teeth and recapture your beautiful smile. They can help you to speak and eat with confidence and prevent further damage to your existing teeth.
Are implants always successful? Modern implant techniques have been in use since the 1950’s. Improvements in procedures and materials have given implants a ten year average success rate of 93 percent or better. This enviable success rate is improving every year!
Can failed implants be replaced? In the unlikely event an implant fails it can usually be replaced by another. In fact, most patients wouldn’t have it any other way!
Is everyone a candidate for implant treatment? In general, anyone healthy enough to undergo routine tooth extraction or oral surgery is probably able to receive an implant. There are some health conditions that warrant special consideration. Certain chronic diseases, heavy smoking or alcohol abuse may contraindicate implant treatment. After careful evaluation of your health history, your dentist will alert you to any conditions that may effect your treatment. Remember, age is not a factor.
Will others know I have dental implants? Today’s implant treatment enables you to have your new teeth look, feel and function like your own. Even though others will be unaware you have dental implants, many patients are so pleased they tell everyone they know. Dental implants offer some of the finest restorative results possible in modern dentistry.
How long does complete treatment take? Depending of the type of implant and replacement teeth selected, the total time can be as little as a few weeks to six or more months. If bone grafting is necessary, further time may be needed. Your dentist will discuss your options with you and advise you of the time requirements.
