Implant

Indhold

A dental implant is a modern and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It involves the insertion of a small titanium screw into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement for the root of a natural tooth. Over time, this screw fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for an artificial tooth, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-term solution for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease.

How Does a Dental Implant Work?

Dental implants offer more than just a cosmetic solution—they restore functionality to the mouth. The process generally unfolds in the following steps:

  1. Placement of the implant: During a minor surgical procedure, a small screw made of titanium is placed into the jawbone. This screw mimics the root of a natural tooth.
  2. Healing and integration: The bone heals and grows around the implant over the course of several months. This critical process is called osseointegration and ensures the implant is secure and stable.
  3. Attachment of an abutment: Once osseointegration is complete, a connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment will eventually support the final restoration.
  4. Placement of the restoration: A crown, bridge, or denture that has been custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth is placed on the abutment, completing the restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are favored by many for their range of benefits, especially when compared to traditional options like bridges or removable dentures. Here are some key advantages:

  • Natural appearance and feel: Implants are expertly designed to mimic the look and function of real teeth, so they blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Most people won’t even realize you have one.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last for decades or even a lifetime, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.
  • Preserves oral health: Unlike bridges, which may require the alteration of healthy adjacent teeth, dental implants preserve your natural tooth structure.
  • Prevents bone loss: After tooth loss, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate, which affects the contour of your face over time. Dental implants stimulate the bone, helping to prevent these changes.
  • Improved comfort: Because implants are anchored in place, they eliminate issues such as slipping or irritation that can occur with traditional removable dentures.
  • Restores function: With implants, you can enjoy chewing and speaking naturally without worrying about discomfort or a loose fit.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

While dental implants offer numerous benefits, they may not be the right choice for everyone. Candidacy depends on several factors, including oral and general health. Here are some criteria that may make someone a suitable candidate:

  • Adequate bone density: A healthy jawbone is essential to securely support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting procedures might be necessary.
  • Good oral hygiene: Consistent dental care and maintenance are critical for the success of implants.
  • Non-smokers preferred: Smoking can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure.
  • Free of gum disease: Gum disease must be treated and resolved before undergoing implant surgery.

Your dentist will perform a thorough evaluation—including imaging such as X-rays or 3D scans—during your consultation. This assessment will determine your suitability for the procedure and outline any necessary preparatory treatments.
