Dental Implants to Combat Tooth Loss?
Each year, millions of people face the prospect of losing a tooth. Although dental hygiene has improved dramatically, people still lose their teeth. Having a nice smile is more important than many people realize. Studies have shown that people judge one another by how good their teeth look. Studies have also shown that there is a direct correlation between a person’s socioeconomic status and the state of his or her teeth. There are many options available for people to replace their missing teeth including dentures, bridges, and dental implants. Dental implants are the perfect solution for people that have lost a tooth. Not only can they replace a smile, but they can also help to make eating and chewing easier.Many people opt for dental implants over bridges. For one thing, the durability of dental implants is better than that of bridges because dental implants are made of titanium, which is strong and resists corrosion. Another benefit of titanium is that it is lightweight and biologically inert, which means that the human immune system will not detect a titanium implant as a foreign body and try to destroy it. Besides its physical properties, titanium dental implants also have a unique property called osseointegration. Osseointegration is the process by which human bones and tissues can grow into the small cracks and crevices in the titanium, effectively fusing it into their structures. Once dental implants have been placed into a person’s mouth, osseointegration will take a few months to set in. Once this happens, the dental implant will be permanently fused into the patient’s jawbone. Because of this, dental implants are very secure and immune from the slippage that many denture wearers face. By having dental implants, a person will not need to restrict hard or sticky foods from his diet.Installing dental implants is a relatively easy process, but one that requires multiple trips to the dentist. On the first trip, the dentist will take impressions of the mouth as well as X-rays to determine the size and shape of the dental implant. Once the dental implant has been manufactured, the patient returns to have it installed. First, the dentist will apply an anesthetic and then drill a small hole into the jaw. A small screw will then be inserted and secured into the hole. The screw is what holds the dental implant into place. The screw will require several months to heal. After that period of time, the patient will come back for a final visit, in which the dentist will place a permanent crown that is affixed to the screw.

Dental Implants Success, Advantages and Costs?
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistryas well. Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures. People who have lost teeth might feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Additionally, biting irregularities caused by tooth loss can have a negative effect on eating habits and this can lead to secondary health problems like malnutrition. Regardless of the nature of problems related to tooth loss, dental implants may provide a simple remedy with proven results. Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support adental bridgefor the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation. Procedural advancements, including the development of narrower “mini” implants, mean that more people than ever before are finding themselves candidates for implantation. However, candidacy for implantation still varies, meaning that yourdentistmay determine that you should opt for an alternative restoration. Keep in mind, too, that dentists do not need a specific license by law in order to perform implant dentistry. A general or restorative dentist may perform the crown and bridge placement that is associated with implant restoration. However, prosthodontists are the specialists who often complete this crucial procedure. Periodontists and oral surgeons perform the implant surgical procedure itself. Today's dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from other teeth. This appearance is aided in part by the structural and functional connection between the dental implant and the living bone. Implants are typically placed in a single sitting but require a period of osseointegration. Osseointegration is the process by which direct anchorage of a dental implant root and the bone of the jaw occurs. Osseointegrated implants are the most commonly used and successful type of dental implant. An osseointegrated implant takes anywhere from three to six months to anchor and heal, at which point your dentist can complete the procedure with the placement of a crown. Once the implant has anchored with the jawbone, artificial prosthesis may be attached and the process is done. If osseointegration does not occur, the implant will fail. Dental implants are among the most successful procedures indentistry. There is no guarantee that an implant procedure will be successful, but studies have shown a five-year success rate of 95% for lower jaw implants and 90% for upper jaw implants. The success rate for upper jaw implants is slightly lower because the upper jaw (especially the posterior section) is less dense than the lower jaw, making successful implantation and osseointegration potentially more difficult to achieve. Lower posterior implantation has the highest success rate for all dental implants. Dental implants may fail for a number of reasons. The cause is often related to a failure in the osseointegration process. For example, if the implant is placed in a poor position, osseointegration may not take place. Dental implants may break or become infected (like natural teeth) and crowns may become loose. If you are a smoker who is considering a dental implant, your dentist will likely advise you to give up smoking before undergoing the process because smokers face a higher risk of implant failure. Since the procedure can be extremely expensive, you risk wasting your money on dental implants if you do not give up the habit. On the plus side, dental implants are not susceptible to the formation of cavities. Still, poor oral hygiene can lead to the development of peri-implantitis around dental implants.
