With increasing age,Dental Implants - A simple solution to people with lost and decayed teeth Articles most of the people find it tough for taking their meals due to loss in teeth or weak gums and face various other dental problems. There are multiple reasons why an individual loses teeth. Some can lose teeth in some accidents or traumas, due to tooth decay or with growing age. There are multiple ways which give back missing teeth and cure such problems but are having limited time period of safety. For any dental problem that is severe, a permanent solution has to be looked for and dental implants are the best option to such problems.

 

Dental implants are an artificial source or replacement for the natural tooth and are anchored into the jaws. These are made up of the titanium screw and a crown. Though the screws can be placed in single sitting yet they require time for Osseo integration which is simply a process of anchoring the implant and the bone of the jaw. This procedure of Osseo integration takes a long time of about 5- 6 months for the dentist to finally wind up with the placement of the crown. Due to the recent advances a new technique has been developed called the “immediate loading” which is just a single surgery solution.

 

Dental implants are the best alternatives to the dentures and bridges and are long lasting. Some of the facts and recommendations for dental implants are:

 

People who are looking forward for the dental implants must be good at health and should have healthy gums. They must have good bones to anchor such implants and should take good care of them.

 

People can take these dental implant treatments when they are looking for replacement of single teeth, replacing multiple teeth or who need complete denture replaced.

 

It is usually contraindicated when implants are near to some sensitive sites or in case of diabetes as it increases the healing time.

 

It is also not recommended for people taking IV or oral biophosphates.

 

Implants are always better as compared to the dentures and bridges as they vary in their longevity and comfort.

 

Smoking reduces the blood flow to the tissues surrounding the implants which will thus inhibit or hamper the bonding of the implant. So people having implants are usually advised to avoid smoking.

 

The cost of dental implants varies and depends on number of factors like what kind of implant is being taken, the type of quality and clinics and the various after care services that are being given.

 

Usually dental implants have a lifetime use but it also depends on how well the implant has been taken care of.
