More About Dental Implants
Dental implants are used for a variety of reasons, including tooth loss. It's vital to deal with this problem as soon as possible or bone deterioration may lead to the appearance of premature aging. If you decide to get a dental implant, here's what you need to know about the process:
- Your Toronto dentist applies a local anesthetic before beginning the procedure.
- Next, your dentist removes dental remnants and inserts a titanium post into the jawbone.
Note: The titanium post replaces the tooth root and is biocompatible, which means there's no worry of tissue rejection. - Then, your doctor surgically closes the area and allows for healing, which takes 3 to 6 months (osseointegration).
- When you go back to your dentist's office, your Toronto dentist re-opens the surgical area, inserts an abutment, and screws a crown over the abutment.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
- Implants have a 95% success rate
- They are longer lasting than other restorative procedures
- Dental implants are easy to care for, just floss and brush as you would your natural teeth
- They don't slip out of place, which makes them comfortable and practical
- They provide your jawbone with support to prevent shrinking
- They are used to fill a single gap or replace all your teeth
- Implants restore speech and eating functions
