What is a Dental Implant?

Dental Implantation Process

A dental implant is a metal post surgically placed into the jawbone that serves as a replacement root for a missing or broken tooth. A crown is attached after the implant adheres to the bone. This restores the tooth’s function and aesthetic appearance. Dental implants are a durable and stable solution for tooth loss that help to preserve jawbone health and maintain an ideal facial structure.

Factors That Influence Root Canal Costs

  • Whether the implant area is sound: In some cases, a sinus lift may be required for optimal placement. Bone grafting may also be necessary.
  • Assessment of Recipient Area: Before an implant placement, the recipient area must be assessed and prepared to ensure optimal results. Preparing the area may involve a bone graft or a sinus lift, which allows for adequate bone around the implant site. This ensures that no other areas are compromised in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get tooth implants while pregnant?

Dental implant procedures are not recommended during pregnancy because of the risks associated with surgery and anesthesia. We typically recommend waiting until after pregnancy.

Can you complete tooth implants in one day?

Yes, in some cases “same-day implants” are possible, however, this depends on your oral health and the complexity of the procedure.

Will tooth implants impact an MRI or airport security?

No, dental implants are made from non-magnetic materials like titanium. Therefore, they won’t interfere with MRIs or set off airport security alarms.

Will dental implants last a lifetime?

Yes, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, but the surrounding crowns or bridges may need replacement over time.
