What are dental implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury or some other reason. Dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Under proper conditions, and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Doc Dental Smiles provides the best service for dental implants in AP.

Types of Dental Implants:

There are several types of dental implants available, depending on the specific needs of the patient. The two most common types are endosteal and subperiosteal implants.

Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant and are placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically shaped like screws or cylinders and can support one or more replacement teeth.

Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but above the jawbone. They are typically used in patients who do not have enough healthy jawbone to support an endosteal implant.

Top Oral Care Tips for Dental Implants

 

Most dental implants are successful, and there are a couple of steps you can take to help guarantee achievement and make your implant last.

  • Practice great oral cleanliness – brush two times per day and floss once day by day. Utilizing interdental brushes, brushes that slide between teeth can help clean the difficult to achieve territories around your implant.
  • Stop smoking – smoking can debilitate the bone structure and can cause an implant to fail.
  • Visit your dental practitioner – cleanings and exams like clockwork can help guarantee your embed is in great condition, and that it remains as such.
  • Abstain from biting on hard sustenance – don’t bite on hard things, for example, ice and hard sweet since they can break the crown and your regular teeth.
