New technology allows for permanent tooth replacement immediately
rather than waiting three to six months. Implants usually take three
to six months of healing before permanent replacement of teeth can
be achieved. With the new implant technology, a patient can literally
have teeth within a one to two hour appointment.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or
a whole mouthful of teeth.
Dental
implants were developed in Sweden in 1952 and perfected in the United
States. A variety of dental implants are available to meet the individual
needs of most patients.
The implants - small cylinders inserted into the jawbone form anchors
for bridges and crowns that replace missing teeth.
A surprise to many dental implant patients is the simplicity of
the procedure. Patients have compared the implant procedure to other
minor detail procedures, such as having a tooth filled.
With the new dental implant, there is less discomfort and swelling.
Patients return to their daily routines without interruption.
Following an evaluation by a qualified and experienced dentist or
oral surgeon, the first thing to be determined is what type of dental
implant will best suit the patient's needs. This sometimes involves
obtaining detailed x-rays of the patient's jawbone.
According to scientific studies, biting and chewing with dental
implants is practically the same as with natural teeth.
Many dental implant patients attest to a significant change in their
lives. In addition to experiencing a boost in self-esteem, patients
rave about the freedom to eat foods of all kinds without worrying
about denture slippage or irritated gums.
And close-up photographs show that dental implants look just like
real teeth.
