The Ideal Candidate for Dental Implants
Dental implants are a fantastic option for many, but they require specific conditions for success:
- Adequate Bone Density: Sufficient jawbone is necessary to support the implant.
- Strong Immune System: A robust immune system helps prevent post-surgical infections.
- Good Oral Hygiene: A history of positive oral hygiene is crucial for the long-term success of implants.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- High Success Rate: According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, implants boast a 97% success rate.
- Jawbone Preservation: Unlike traditional bridges and dentures, implants help preserve the jawbone, maintaining its strength and integrity.
- No Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Implants function independently, protecting surrounding natural teeth.
- Eating with Ease: Enjoy your favorite foods without worry, thanks to the stability of implants.
The Dental Implant Process: A Journey to a New Smile
Surgical Placement
The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone or attached to a metal frame under the gums. Some patients may require metal posts for tooth attachment.
Healing and Integration
After surgery, a period of healing allows the implant to anchor securely and the bone tissue to integrate with the device.
Final Restoration
Once healed, your artificial tooth, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant or post, completing your smile restoration.
