Implants are at the leading edge of oral health, as these tooth and root restorations are used to replace lost and missing teeth. For a missing tooth, a titanium cylinder can at this time be placed inside the jawbone to take the place of a tooth's roots. A porcelain crown is subsequently able to be positioned atop of the cylinder to resemble a regular tooth and will offer the patient a fully functioning aesthetically appealing tooth.
Most commonly tooth implants are used to replace a sole missing tooth. In the occasion that multiple teeth are missing, a few implants may be inserted and bridged together. These implants will be used as a base for the implanted bridge with fake teeth being integrated into the bridge as well. Implants may also be implemented if all the teeth happen to be absent from either the upper or lower arch. A few implants need to be inserted in the jawbone, over which a prosthetic denture is connected giving the sufferer a full compliment of teeth.
Clients who would make a great candidate for implants are based on certain specific criteria. Clients must not smoke, be of good overall health and have sufficient bone structure for the implant site. Very detailed analysis is a necessity to determine whether the donor area will be fitting. This process may involve thorough dental and possibly health exams along with a full spectrum of x-rays of the specified area.
A dental insert treatment includes a visit to have a titanium cylinder placed in the jaw bone. Then a period of healing lasting four to six months with monitoring required to make certain that the body has fully accepted the dental embed. After the healing is completed, the bridge or crown is then placed over top of the cylinder to offer the patient a completely functional artificial tooth.
In many instances, traditionally for front teeth, the tooth will need immediate extraction, at which time the restoration could also be positioned. In this case, a temporary removable denture can be constructed to be worn while the implant fuses into the jawbone.
