A Viable Option For Tooth Replacement?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

If you are considering a dental implant, it’s important to know that the procedure is usually done in two stages. In the first stage, a metal post called an “abutment” is surgically implanted into your jawbone. Once the abutment has bonded with your jawbone, the second stage of the procedure can be completed. This involves attaching a replacement tooth (or teeth) to the abutment.

Is The Dental Implant The Right Choice For You?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. The implant fuses with the jawbone and acts as a new “root” for the artificial tooth. Dental implants are a popular choice for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons.

Dental implants are strong and durable, and they can last a lifetime with proper care. They are also cosmetically pleasing and can give you back your smile. If you are considering dental implants, be sure to consult with your dentist to see if they are right for you.

FAQ

How long does dental implant last?

Studies have reported a 90-95% success rate of dental implants over a period of 15 years. However, various other factors are affecting the longevity of a dental implant.

 

How long does dental implant treatment take?

Standard dental implant treatment takes about 3-5months time. Patients will experience 4 key stages – consultation, surgery, healing, and crown fitting.

 

Am I conscious during the treatment?

Yes. Prior to surgery, local anesthesia is applied to the area receiving the dental implant to ensure your treatment is painless. It numbs your mouth locally, so you’ll be fully conscious and aware of your surroundings.

 

Is there an age limit of getting dental implant?

There is no upper age limit for dental implant patients. However, implant placement is not advisable when the bone is still growing. So adolescents under age 18 are not suitable candidates for dental implants.
