Dental implant procedure:
- Local anesthesia or IV Sedation
- Dental implants are natural appearing and natural functioning
- Multiple teeth can be replaced
- It may take two to six months for the jaw bone to grow around the anchor to hold it firmly in place
- Once the implant is stable and the gums have healed, the dentist or specialist makes the artificial teeth and fits them to the post portion of the anchor
Difference Between Implants and Dentures
While dentures are removable, implants are permanently fixed in the mouth. A conventional removable full denture depends upon support from the bone and soft tissues rather than being solidly fixed in place. As a result, dentures do not offer as much stability as implants.
Caring for Your Implants
Implants can fail because of poor oral hygiene. Flossing and brushing twice a day keeps your implants healthy. Get specific instructions from your dentists on how to care for your new implants. Additional dental cleanings up to four times a year may be necessary to ensure that you retain healthy gums.
