Introduction:

Dental implants are a great way to replace your missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts that are placed in your jaw. They act as anchors for artificial teeth and can fit most dentures just like natural teeth. The process to get a set of implants starts with cleaning the area in which the implant will be placed. Next, an incision is made into the gums so that a small metal post can be inserted and left to heal for about four weeks before being inserted into the jawbone. Once it heals, we make sure there are no complications with height or width, then proceed with cementing it onto your jawbone and designing artificial teeth around it. This article will go step by step in the process, and it takes a long time to complete.

The Procedure:

First, a dentist will clean your teeth and make the area where the implant will be placed free of any plaque and bacteria. Next, a local anesthetic is used so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. An incision is then made into your gums and a small metal post of titanium is inserted into your bone and left there for about four weeks to heal before it can be cemented onto your jawbone where artificial teeth can fit on it. This process may be uncomfortable for some people, but after about a day you won't feel any pain from this.

When the implant has healed, it is checked to see if there are any problems with how the bone is attached to metal post. If there are no problems found, we can then proceed to cementing it into your jawbone. The dentist will place a temporary crown on top of the metal post in order for it to heal for about another month before you come in and get your permanent crown(s) put on top of the titanium post. After that, you will have a new set of teeth and you can chew normally with them Like natural teeth.

Conclusion:

The process of getting a set of implants is long and uncomfortable at times, but once you get your permanent crowns on them, they will function like natural teeth and you can chew with them normally. They feel very similar to real teeth, are extremely durable and last a very long time compared to other restorative methods that we use in dentistry.
