Tooth loss is one of the worst nightmares for everyone – it can cause you to have a misaligned bite, your face to go out of shape, and make you self-conscious about your smile and speech. <\/span>If you go to the dentist for this problem, chances are they will recommend dental implant surgery. Dental implant is a substitute tooth root placed into your jawbone to hold a tooth tooth restoration – a dental crown, bridge, or denture on top. This read from Sydney dental will tell you everything about a <\/span>dental implant procedure<\/b> and what to expect prior to, during and after operation.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

1. What is an implant procedure?<\/b><\/h2>\n

dental implant<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dental implant procedure is an outpatient treatment. The implant posts<\/a> are made of titanium or other materials and are used to replace the tooth root. The aim of the procedure and recovery is for the implant post to be successfully anchored into the jawbone to hold the top dental crown or bridge. The top prosthesis, once secured in place, will function and look like your original teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The treatment typically involves a few visits to the dentist. This includes an initial discussion, implant placement surgery, and another procedure to mount the fake tooth on top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you need a dental implant procedure?<\/b><\/p>\n

Implants are used to store one or more missing teeth due to a trauma, disease, infection, or decay. As you consult your dentist at the initial visit, they may give you tooth restoration alternatives such as bridges or dentures for you to consider as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

During your consultation, the dental care provider will let you know whether you have enough jawbone for an implant procedure. If you don’t, the dental provider may recommend a bone graft to restore your jawbone so you can be qualified for the implant procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What is the candidacy like for implants?<\/b><\/h2>\n

2.1. Who is a good candidate?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Those whose health is good enough to receive a normal tooth extraction or dental surgery can be a candidate for dental implants. They should also have:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Healthy gums;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Enough bone for the implants to be bonded to;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Decent oral hygiene;<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Frequent visits to the dentist.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2.2. Who may not be a good candidate?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Dental implants may not be a good fit for some people due to certain risk factors, specifically if they:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Are less than 18 years of age, this is because most dentists will only give dental implants to those whose jaw has stopped growing;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Smoke or use tobacco;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have substantial loss of the jawbone;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Practice improper oral hygiene;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have deep tooth cavities;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Have existing periodontal disease;<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Suffer from health problems, like bone or autoimmune diseases;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Thorough examination needs to be done to prepare for dental implants in patients who:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Are chronic smokers;<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Have out-of-control chronic diseases, like diabetes or heart problems;<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Are undergoing radiotherapy in the head or neck.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Whatever the case is, always consult with your dentist to see if dental implants are a good fit for you. Every patient has a different health history and conditions so if you want to know for sure, contact the dental provider for advice and recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n

        3. How to prepare for the procedure?<\/b><\/h2>\n

        The patient will be asked to attend an initial consultation with the dentist. During this visit, they will give you a comprehensive examination, including taking X-rays of your mouth and discussing with you about the treatment plan, options, risks, pricing, and answer questions that you may have. The dentist will proceed to schedule a surgery date once they\u2019ve had the treatment plan and made sure that you are healthy enough for surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Take note of the type of anesthesia that will be used during your procedure – whether it is local or general anesthesia. If the dentist thinks that general anesthesia or sedation will benefit you more, you will need to ask someone to give you a lift home in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

        4. What happens during a dental implant procedure?<\/b><\/h2>\n

        The dental care provider will give you recommendations on the best approach to inserting your dental implants. Sometimes it is okay to have the implant and artificial tooth to be placed on the same day. Most of the time, nonetheless, the patient will need to come back on another day for the prosthesis placement following their implant surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

        For placing implant posts, firstly, the dentist will give you numbing medication or IV general anesthesia. This is to ensure that you will feel zero pain and discomfort over the course of the process. Next step is when your dentist makes an incision into your gums then puts the implant into the jawbone where your lost tooth is. After that, they will close the gums over the implant to keep it well covered.<\/span><\/p>\n

        You will be sent home for healing then come back at another visit for the second phase of dental implant procedure. This may take patients a few months to allow a process called osseointegration to complete, in other words, for the titanium to be anchored into the jawbone. This healing period varies from individual to individual, but generally takes up to 6 months before the top prosthesis can be attached. Some patients can even receive the whole treatment on the same day.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The dentist will take impressions of your teeth to fabricate crowns in the dental lab while you are healing from the implant placement. When you come back after recovery, the dentist will give you another thorough examination to check if the placed implant is good and fixed in place. They will then proceed to attach an abutment which is a small piece that connects the implant post to the dental crown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        5. What to expect during recovery from a dental implant procedure?<\/b><\/h2>\n

        If sedation is used during your implant procedure, you will be a little out of balance and dizzy for a few hours. Make sure you arrange for a ride home in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

        After surgery, you may experience some swelling, minor bleeding, pain, and bruising. The dentist will likely advise you to have soft, liquid, and cold foods or warm soup as you are healing. They will most likely recommend OTC medications to manage the pain and discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n

        When to seek medical attention?<\/b><\/p>\n

        Mild problems, such as bruising and swelling should go away on their own in several days post operation. However, if these issues persist or worsen after a week, you need to reach out to the dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Initial recovery takes several weeks and osseointegration may take many months to complete. Dental implant receivers should also give their dental provider a call if they notice the implants are loosening or moving or still painful after several weeks. The earlier the problems are addressed, the lower the risk of serious complications is.<\/span><\/p>\n

        6. How to take good care of your dental implants?<\/b><\/h2>\n

        Considering dental implants are like real teeth, proper care includes brushing, flossing, rinsing on a daily basis and periodic oral visits. You can help your dental work and remaining natural teeth last longer if you:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Commit to thorough oral hygiene. Try to keep your dental implants, false teeth, and gum tissue clean just like your original teeth by bruising, flossing, and rinsing on a daily basis;<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Pay regular visits to the dentist. Have checkups with the dental provider to make sure your implants are functioning properly and healthy. Also receive in-clinic cleanings as advised by the dentist;<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Avoid poor dental habits. Avoid chewing on hard foods, like ice or hard candy because these can cause breakage to your restoration like crows or even your original teeth. Also refrain from tobacco and products containing caffeine to prevent staining of teeth. If you have bruxism, meaning you grind or clench teeth, contact your dentist to have it addressed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
