What are Dental Implants?
Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with screw-like metal rods and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and act like real teeth. Dental implant surgery can provide a welcome alternative to ill-fitting dentures or bridges and can provide an option when the lack of natural roots makes it impossible to build a denture or bridge. replace. .
How dental implant surgery is performed depends on the type of implant and the condition of your jawbone. Dental implant surgery may include several procedures. The main benefit of an implant is a strong support for your new tooth – a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant. Because this bone healing takes time, it can take several months.
Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace one or more teeth.
Single-tooth implant:If you have a tooth that needs replacing, your doctor will place an implant over a single tooth and then place a single replacement tooth or crown.
Multiple-tooth implant:If you’ve lost a few teeth, your doctor can perform a multi-teeth implant with custom replacement teeth.
Full-mouth implant: If you don’t have any teeth, your doctor can implant all your teeth.
Before Dental Implants
The dental implant planning process can involve a variety of specialists, including doctors who specialize in mouth, jaw, and facial conditions (oral and maxillofacial surgeons), dentists who specialize in treating structures that support teeth, such as gums and bones (periodontist), dentist who designs and installs artificial teeth (prosthetician), or sometimes ear, nose, and throat specialist ( ENT).
Because dental implants require one or more surgeries, you should have a thorough evaluation to prepare for the procedure, including:
- Complete a dental exam. You can take dental X-rays and 3D images, and have models of your teeth and jawbone.
- Review your medical history. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions and medications you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines and supplements. If you have certain heart conditions or orthopedic implants, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics before surgery to help prevent infection.
- Treatment plan. Depending on your condition, this plan will take into account factors such as the number of teeth to be replaced, the condition of your jawbone, and the remaining teeth.
After Dental Implant
Whether you are undergoing single- or multi-stage dental implant surgery, you may experience some typical discomforts associated with any type of dental surgery, such as:
- Swollen gums and face
- Bruises on the skin and gums
- Implant site pain
- Slight bleeding
You may need pain medication or antibiotics after dental implant surgery. If swelling, discomfort, or any other problem gets worse in the days following surgery, contact your oral surgeon.
After each stage of surgery, you may need to eat soft foods while the incision heals. Usually, your surgeon will use self-dissolving stitches. If your stitches don’t dissolve on their own, your doctor will remove them.
