All You Need To Know About Dental Implants


http://www.beauchampdental.com/
Recent statistics revealed that 69% of adults (35 to 44) have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease or tooth decay on their teenage. This is because twenty years ago, those patients would have had no dental alternatives to restore their lost tooth. But now, the things are changed. There is an option for patients who are missing their permanent teeth, i.e. Dental Implants.

Dental implants can be used to replace a singular tooth, or even a full arch of missed teeth. Let’s quickly review the basics of what you need to know about dental implants.

What Is Dental Implant? A dental implant - made of titanium metal fuses to the jaw bone, serving as the root of the missing tooth. Unlike fixed bridges and other alternative, dental implants gives the wearer the feeling of having their natural teeth again.

What Is The Cost Of A Dental Implant? The cost of dental implant procedure varies from dentist to dentist.  A single implant costs approximately $5,000 - $7,000 without bone grafting. Do your research beforehand to make sure you're seeing a reputable dentist who charges reasonable prices. 

How Much Time is required for Dental Implant? The length of the treatment entirely depends on your oral health. If you’ve gum diseases or any other oral problems, then it may take more time. For instance, a single tooth implant surgery can typically takes 2-3 hours from start to finish i.e. includes time for anesthesia as well as dressing.

Who Is Suitable For Dental Implant? Whether you are a young, middle-aged or older adult, dental implant solution is the right option for you to restore your smile back. With the exception of growing children, dental implants are the solution of choice for people of all ages, even those with the health concerns like gum disease, currently wearing partials or dentures. Although smoking lowers the success rate of dental implants, it doesn't eliminate the possibility of getting them.

What Are The Risks Involved In Dental Implant? There may be few surgical risks involved with this procedure – excessive bleeding, swelling or infection. Also there may be discomfort for 48-72 hours after implant surgery, during that time the pain can controlled by taking pain killers.

How Long Will The Implants Last? It is difficult to predict how long the implants will last. However with proper care and routine dental check-ups they should last a lifetime or even up to 10-15 years.

What Care Should Be Taken After Dental Implant? Your new implant tooth must be cared for and checked regularly, just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss your implant tooth is also recommended by the certified dentist or dental hygienist of Doral to keep it long lasting.

You no longer need messy adhesives to prevent the teeth from slipping or to remove your teeth at nighttime or after meals for cleaning. Avail dental implants and enjoy having a glazing flattering natural looking smile.
