Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to support a prosthetic tooth or bridge. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all the teeth in a jaw. Dental implants can also be used to support dentures or bridges.
Dental implants are a popular option for tooth replacement because they can last for the rest of your life, unlike other tooth replacement options. They can also help improve speech and are less likely to slip, make noise, or cause bone damage than dentures or fixed bridgework.
Some things to consider before getting dental implants include:
You need to have enough bone in your jaw to support the implants, or you may need a bone graft.
You should not have any health conditions that could affect bone healing.
You should not smoke tobacco.
After surgery, you may experience swelling, bruising, pain, and minor bleeding. Most people can return to normal activities within about 3 days.
The process can take several months for effective and efficient treatment.
