How long will Dental Implants last?

Research and scientific studies have proved the effectiveness and long lasting results of dental implants. With careful looking after, the implants should last a lifetime, even if the replacement teeth need renewing.

What happens during a Dental Implants operation?

How are implants applied to your teeth? 

Anyone who is missing one or more of their teeth due to injury, disease, or decay, may be a candidate for dental implants. If one or a few teeth are missing, dental implants, along with a crown or bridge, can replace those teeth without losing more bone. 

Enough bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant(s) along with healthy gum tissues. Your dentist will be able to discover if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants after a careful examination of your dental and medical history.

Just as with any surgery, there can be some discomfort. A local anaesthetic, and sometimes patient sedation, are used to reduce any discomfort during the procedure. 

Actual procedures vary between dental practices, but usually, implants are placed directly into your jawbone either with the metal caps left exposed above the gum line, or buried into the gums.

Tissues are then left to heal around the implant. If the metal cap has been buried in the gum, it is then exposed again so that a post can be attached. The replacement teeth are then placed on top of these posts. If the caps are left exposed, replacement teeth can just be attached directly. 

The complete implant reconstruction process may take from 2 to 9 months and in some cases longer. Time is needed for your jawbone to grow around the implant and for your replacement teeth to be made.

Dental Implants background information

Dental implants are a new way of replacing single, or a whole set of completely missing teeth, and are a real alternative to dentures for people who have a lot of missing teeth.

If you lose a tooth, your jawbone automatically shrinks, making your face look older. Dental implants can slow or stop this process. 

Dental implants remove the pain and discomfort of removable full or partial dentures. Since dentures sit on top of your jawbone and gums, this continuous shrinkage of your jawbone alters the fit of your denture, resulting in slipping or rocking of the dentures. Dental implants can get rid of the numerous embarrassing inconveniences of badly fitting false teeth, as well as the cleaning and maintenance of removable partial and full dentures.

What are implants? 

A dental implant is a small man-made titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth in your mouth. The implant is placed in the bone of your upper or lower jaw. Your bone then heals tightly around this implant and the implant then serves as an anchor for your replacement tooth.
