Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth where you will not even know that they were missing in the first place. 
 

What are implants?
Dental implants are a solution for missing teeth which are surgically placed using an artificial tooth root (made of titanium) right into the jaw bone. The implant then fuses with the bone tissues over a few months. This provides a solid foundation for the replacement of the tooth using a crown, bridge, or dentures. Though it can be costly and time-consuming, dental implants mimic the actual tooth and provide all its functions. These can be for people of any age group, but it is mostly used for elderly individuals.  

• Long-lasting solution

• It can take several months for the procedure

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, including:

Procedure for Dental Implants
Here are the typical steps involved in the procedure for getting dental implants: 

Step 1: The dentist will make a full assessment of your oral health and determine the course of action, including the treatment goal and the right dental implants. X-rays or 3D scans will be taken of the mouth to analyze the bone density.

Step 2: Then, the implant will be surgically placed, which involves making a small incision in the gum tissue. With this, the dentist can access the underlying jawbone to drill a hole for the implant where it will be placed. The gum tissue is sutured closed, and a temporary crown or bridge will be placed over it. 

Step 3: In the process of osseointegration, in which the implant fuses with the surrounding bone tissue. This can take few months, which is important for the implant to become stable to support a replacement tooth. 

Step 4: Once the implant has fused with the bone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant. This will connect the implant to the replacement tooth or dental appliance.

Step 5: Then, the replacement tooth will be placed, which is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the tooth. It gels well with the rest of the teeth and does not look out of place. This can be a crown, bridge, or denture, according to the requirement.

• Good oral hygiene, which includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using antimicrobial mouthwash.
