Single Tooth Implant

Dental implants are versatile treatments that aim to restore all dental functions by replacing missing teeth with artificial units. In addition to enhancing your smile, this treatment provides health and cosmetic benefits by preventing health complications.

Structure of Dental Implants

1. Root: Made of titanium, the root of dental implants is placed within the jawbone. This metal is ideal for providing long-term support by integrating with the bone.

2. Abutment: The abutment, typically made of titanium, is placed on top of the root to receive the crown. It serves as a connecting unit between the crown and the root.

3. Crown: The crown is the only part of a dental implant visible after placement. It comes in a range of materials to meet different preferences and budgets. Some coating options may appear more natural than others.

Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure consists of four main parts, which may require an additional step:

1. General Treatment: Your dentist will examine your mouth and overall health before starting the implant surgery, which may include X-rays to ensure there are no hidden issues.

2. Bone Grafting (Not Always Necessary): If you lack sufficient bone density to support implants, bone grafting may be necessary before implant placement. This involves taking bone tissue from another part of your body and placing it in your jaw.

3. Dental Implant Surgery: This step involves placing the root into the jawbone. After creating space for the root, your dentist will insert the titanium root and close the area with stitches.

4. Placement of Abutment**: After the jawbone has healed, you'll visit your dentist to have the abutment placed. Once the abutment reaches the root, your dentist will close the gum around it.

5. Placement of Crown**: Initially, you'll have a temporary crown until your custom-made crown is ready. Your dentist will take measurements of your mouth and send them to a laboratory to create the perfect crown for you.

Success Rate of Dental Implants

The success rate of dental implants depends on various factors, with the skill and reputation of your dental clinic being most important. However, generally, the success rate of dental implants is approximately 98% if everything goes as planned.

Will I Feel Any Pain During the Dental Implant Procedure?

You won't feel any pain throughout the entire procedure due to local anesthesia. Your dentist will also prescribe painkillers for you to take as the anesthesia wears off.

Dental Implant Care Routine

You should care for dental implants like natural teeth. Brush them twice a day, use dental floss, and rinse with antibacterial mouthwash.

 Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants depends on several factors, including the country where you receive treatment, dentist fees, and crown material. Therefore, determining an average can be challenging due to significant differences from one country to another.
