What Are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are titanium screws that are placed directly into the jawbone, to replace any missing teeth. After the implant has been fitted, the bone surrounding it will start to fuse to it, holding it firmly in place. Dental crowns will then be attached to the implant, to give it the appearance of a natural tooth. There are three main types of dental implant:
- Endosteal Implants: Typically made from titanium, they are the most commonly used dental implant. They are implanted into the jawbone, to provide extra strength. There is a screw-like component then connected to the prosthetic.
- Subperiosteal Implants: If you have a weakened jawbone, endosteal implants will not be the best option. Instead, the subperiosteal implants are placed on or above the jawbone, and underneath the gum to protrude through it, holding the replacement tooth.
- Zygomatic Implants: A Zygomatic implant is slightly different, as it’s designed to be attached to the cheekbones, instead of the jawbone as some people do not have enough mass to support the other dental implants.
Typically, dental implants can be placed anywhere in your mouth. However, because of the anatomy of our jaws, sometimes areas might be too complex or even impossible to fit the implants. Our experienced dentists will fully examine your mouth as part of your initial consultation, to ensure implants can be placed. Visit our dental implants FAQs page today to learn more about the implants themselves, how they are fitted, as well as what is required in terms of aftercare and maintenance.
What Are The Signs You Need Dental Implants?
There are a number of signs and indicators that you may require Dental Implants. To name a few:
- You may have missing teeth or a single tooth: If you have a gap in your smile, where a tooth is absent, and it’s causing discomfort (for example when eating) or making you feel insecure, it might be worth considering an implant.
- Your facial appearance may be altered due to use of dentures: If you have previously used dentures, you might have noticed a slight change in facial appearance. This is because they do not stimulate the jaw bone, which leads to it weakening over time. Dental implants, on the other hand, are a lot more natural.
- Loose partials or dentures: Installing implants can fix dentures that become loose throughout the day, and as a result will allow you to feel confident that they will not fall out whilst eating or talking.
What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have become one of the most popular ways of restoring smiles, for a number of reasons:
- Long lasting: unlike many other alternatives, dental implants provide you with a longer-lasting solution. The titanium screw does not need to be replaced, and the crown treatment needs replacing between 10-15 years depending on lifestyle, and how you look after them. Also, there is also very little technical cleaning required, so most people get full use of them.
- Strength: when fully integrated, dental implants are considerably stronger than alternatives such as dentures. The strength of the implants is similar to a real tooth. Additionally, the implants act as a substitute for the root of the absent tooth, providing a secure location for the crown to attach to.
- Comfort: despite potentially having a short period of time where the implant may not feel entirely normal in your mouth, when you start to get used to them, you won’t notice a difference between them and your natural teeth.
