The Truth About Dental Implants

There are some facts about dental implants that you still don’t know. You need to consult your Lancaster implant dentist before you make a decision to get them.

First Understand What Dental Implants Are?

Dental implants have evolved over time and become completely different than what they used to be. They were invented by a Swedish orthopedic surgeon, Per-Ingvar Brånemark in the year 1952. Today, whenever we talk about prosthetic replacement alternative for any of our missing teeth (in dentistry) they are taken to be the standard regime.

A dental implant is made out of titanium. It is a surgical fixture that your Lancaster implant dentist will place into your jawbone. Over time he will allow this to fuse with the bone. It might take a few months depending upon the density of the bone and of course your healing capabilities.

When Would You Need A Dental Implant Surgery?

Ask your Lancaster implant dentist if dental implants are even for you in the first place (You might need some preliminary exams to determine if you are a candidate at all for the procedure). Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or even several teeth, and in some cases all of your teeth. The primary goal of this treatment is to restore normal mouth function and also reinstate aesthetics.

What Options Do You Have When It Comes To Tooth Replacement?

When it comes to tooth replacement, you will generally have three options:

  •   Removable dental appliance which is a complete denture or partial denture (depending upon the degree of loss of function you suffer from)
  •       Fixed dental bridge (which is cemented for better grip and comfort)
  •       Dental implants

Dental implants are the more affordable option and they are ideal for teeth replacement but are often considered desirable in the least because of the inconvenience and delay they cause.

Despite all that many dental patients who are missing a tooth or several teeth prefer to go for dental implants because they are supported by the bone. This does not affect the surrounding natural teeth.

Factors Affecting Your Decision

There are a lot of factors at play here. All of them will impact your decision to pick an implant in the first place. These include:

  •       The general preference of the patient
  •       Location of the missing tooth or teeth in your mouth
  •       The quantity and quality of jawbone you possess because this is where the dental implant is to be placed and so it will directly impact its success
  •       General health of the patient (if you consume alcohol or tobacco, you will be advised against it)
  •       Cost of the entire procedure
