Dental implant
is a surgery of teeth in which missing or damaged teeth are removed from the
mouth of a person and in that place new artificial teeth are implanted. In this
procedure, the roots of the tooth are replaced by artificial screws like metal
for the placement of artificial teeth. The artificial teeth almost feel and
work the same as the natural teeth. Dental implant surgery does wonders for the
people who lost their teeth at an early age and want to gain their confidence
again. The success of dental implant surgery depends on the type of implant
and the state of your jawbone. Dental Implant surgery is a long procedure that
involves several steps and several months.
The best part
about Dental Implant surgery is that the artificial teeth appear and work just
like the real ones and nobody can notice that your teeth are not original.
PROCEDURE
● The first step involves the removal
of the damaged teeth or tooth. Dental Implant surgery can be done for a single
tooth or for multiple teeth or sometimes for all the teeth present in the mouth
of a person. The removal of the old damaged teeth is required for implanting
the new one.
● The next step is jawbone grafting or
jawbone preparation. Jawbone grafting is the procedure for those who don’t have
a strong enough jawbone for the surgery. Jawbone shouldn’t be thick and too
soft because the process of chewing applies high pressure on your jawbone. If
your jawbone is not strong enough then there are chances of unsuccessful dental
implant surgery.
● After the jawbone grafting is done,
the next step is to place the dental implant. During the procedure of dental
implants, the gum will be cut by the surgeon for the implant of the dental metal
post. The metal post will be drilled into your jawbone. The metal post will
work as the root of the tooth.
● After the metal post-process is done,
your jawbone grows and properly joins with the metal post. The process of
growing jawbone can take months and this process is known as Osseointegration.
Osseointegration helps in providing a strong base to your artificial teeth.
● When the above process is completed,
the surgeon will place the abutment for the attachment of the crown of your
artificial teeth. This is a minor surgery in which your surgeon will cut your
gum again to attach the abutment on the dental implant. This procedure takes
about two weeks to heal and to attach the artificial teeth.
● The last step for the completion of
your dental implant surgery is the attachment of the crown of your artificial
teeth. Crown is your realistic-looking artificial teeth. The artificial teeth
cannot be placed in your jawbone is not strong enough to support them.
