Dental implants are surgically implanted screw-like systems, implanted into the jawbone. Acting as an anchor for custom-made artificial (fake) teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. The artificial tooth then connects to the dental implant with a device called an abutment.
To establish whether you are a good candidate for dental implants, the healing time and how long the implant will stay in place, one should look at the overall health as this is a crucial, deciding factor.
It is a good idea to ask what brand and model of implant is used and keep it safe for your own records.
The long-term success and healing process may be affected by smoking.
The implant body may take 12 weeks and in some cases longer to heal, and during this time you will probably have a temporary abutment in the place of the tooth.
It is of utmost importance to follow the oral hygiene instructions given to you by your dentist, as regular cleaning of the implant and surrounding teeth plays an important role in the long-term success of the implant.
Keep to the proposed dental visits as scheduled regularly by your dental provider.
Inform your dentist at once if your implant feels loose or painful.
Although dental implants can improve the quality of life and the health of a person who needs them, complications may occur. This may happen soon after placement or in other cases much later. Some of these complications may result in implant failure, which in turn can cause the need for another surgical procedure to fix or replace the implant system.
