In the past, patients who lost their teeth had to settle for dentures or bridges to fill the
gaps. at certain times the dentures would get loose and speaking or eating gets hard.
These basic tooth replacement options also cannot stop the bone loss in the area
where there tooth was previously extracted. Recent development in dentistry can now
offer an advanced solution, where the missing teeth can be replaced by gum line to
create a permanent replacement along the jaw bone.

A dental implant is an artificial replacement of the root of the tooth and is used in
prosthetic dentistry as a means of supporting restorations that act as teeth. Dental
implants are placed into the jawbone of the patients mouth and function as the root of
the patients tooth. Surprisingly, dental implants have actually been around for many
years. Dental Implants date as far back as the Mayan civilization, 1,350 years ago.

However, the use of titanium was only discovered in the 1950s, and in 1969 a US Patent
was filled for titanium dental implants. Titanium has a unique property that, unlike most
foreign substances, the body does not reject it. When the titanium implant is placed into
the mouth, the organism adopts it as its own by actually growing bone around it so that it
effectively adheres to the titanium.


A dental implant looks a bit like a screw and can be implanted into the bone of the jaw at
the same time as the natural tooth is removed by placing the implant into the socket wall.
Dental Implants should be placed by a dental specialist who has had formal
postgraduate training in dental implant dentistry. If the dentist has not received sufficient
training, complications could arise. Qualified implant dentists who are highly trained
experts in dental Implantology and should be your number one port of call for carrying out
the dental implant procedure.


Dental implants have three sections. The first part is the titanium implant fixture, which
fuses with the jawbone. Abutment is the second part which sets over the top part of the
implant to provide space for the crown to stick on. The last element is the crown that is
created to be similar to the remaining teeth for a dependable natural appearance. When
all three of these components are successfully fitted into place, the dental implant is
considered complete.

At the start of the procedure the implant is placed in the gap/open space. This technique
is mostly completed in one sitting at the clinic of the dentist or oral surgeon. The implant
after being placed leads to a phase known as Osseointegration. Through this phase the
implant mixes with the jawbone to turn into an everlasting fitting in the mouth.
Osseointegration mostly takes almost three to six months to finish and during this
phase the remaining implantation procedure could be done.


3-6 months later, after the healing period, a temporary crown is placed on abutment, in
order to promote a better formation and adaption of the soft tissues surrounding the
successful implant. Once the gum has fully developed in the area, the permanent crown
can be connected and the dental implant procedure is considered to be complete.
After treatment, your Implant dentist will work closely with you to develop the best care
plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and
gums to make sure they are healthy.
