DENTAL IMPLANTS

PARTS OF DENTAL IMPLANT

Benefits of Dental Implants:

Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look and function like natural teeth.
Improved Speech: Implants can help restore clear speech.
Enhanced Comfort: Unlike dentures, implants are securely anchored to the jawbone, eliminating discomfort and slippage.
Improved Eating: Implants allow you to enjoy a wider range of foods without worry.
Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults who have lost teeth due to injury, gum disease, or other factors are good candidates for dental implants. However, factors like bone density, overall health, and lifestyle can influence eligibility.

How Dental Implants Work:

1.Surgical Placement: A titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.

2.Osseointegration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

3.Abutment Placement: Once the implant is fully integrated, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant.

4.Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the abutment, completing the restoration process.

Aftercare for Dental Implants:

Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
Avoid Hard Foods: Initially, avoid hard or chewy foods that could damage the implant or restoration.
Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of your implants.
