What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are metal posts or frames, which are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They serve as the root of the tooth and are capped with a dental crown for a finish. Once inserted, dental implants cannot be accidentally removed. They are permanent restorative devices.

Often, a dental implant is used together with dental bridges. In such cases, the implants serve as the anchor of the dental bridge.

Negative Effects Of Missing Tooth

To understand the necessity of dental implants, it is important to know the negative effects of a missing tooth.

An unattended missing tooth can result to:

Bite and chewing difficulty
Speech complications
Face caves in because bone cannot support cheeks
Remaining teeth move or shift out of place
Progressive bone loss

Benefits Of Dental Implants

A dental implant solves/ stops the consequences of a missing tooth. It can:

Restore bite, chewing, and speech capacity.
Return balance so your jawbone can fully support your cheeks.
Keep remaining teeth in place.
Stop progressive bone loss.
Improved smile impression.
Better oral health (prevents malocclusion).
Durable (can last up to 10 years with proper care).

Dental Implants Procedure At Mayfield Dental Care

Your dentist will identify if you are an ideal candidate for a dental implant. If you are, the first step is explaining the process to you.

The metal posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone and are then capped with the dental crown.

Once the dental implants are inserted, they undergo Osteo- integration. This process includes your mouth adjusting to the implants. The bone heals and bonds with the implants, and may take up to six months.

At Mayfield Dental Care, the whole process is safe and secure. You might experience slight discomfort after the surgery, but this can be easily treated with general medications and antibiotics. Your Mayfield Dental Care dentist will monitor your recovery.
