Understanding Different Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and aesthetics. At Smilehub Family Dental Clinic, we offer various types of dental implants to suit different patient needs. Here’s everything you need to know about dental implants:
1. Types of Dental Implants:
- Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type of dental implants, surgically placed directly into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for artificial teeth (crowns).
- Subperiosteal Implants: Placed on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue. They are used when the jawbone is not able to support endosteal implants.
2. Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and confidence.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike traditional dentures or bridges.
- Preserve Jawbone Density: Implants stimulate jawbone growth, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure.
3. Candidacy for Dental Implants:
- Ideal candidates for dental implants should have good oral health, sufficient jawbone density, and healthy gums.
- Your dentist at Smilehub Family Dental Clinic will conduct a thorough examination and review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for implants.
4. Dental Implant Placement Process:
- Consultation and Treatment Planning: Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, and a healing period (osseointegration) follows, during which the implant fuses with the bone.
- Placement of Restoration: Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached.
5. Aftercare and Maintenance:
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
- Schedule regular check-ups at Smilehub Family Dental Clinic to ensure the implants are functioning correctly and to monitor your oral health.
