Dental implants are artificial or false tooth replacements to counter the problem of missing tooth. Although, this procedure falls in the category of cosmetic dentistry, it is also categorized as a prosthetic dentistry. There are various recuperative options available for treating the problem associated with missing tooth but none has been as successful, durable and effective as implants. In some cases, it is the only logical choice available for tooth restoration.
This type of teeth whitening and replacement usually occurs in three parts and takes several months for completion. It is a very popular procedure used by dentists for various decades. Patients of different age groups have opted for this process to support full or partial dentures or to replace several or single teeth. The use of dental crown and bridges helps to recuperate the ability to chew food. This process helps in filling a face that may otherwise look sunken due to missing teeth. Unlike dentures, crowns and implants are removed for overnight cleaning and soaking.
It is one of the most prospering and successful processes in the dental industry. Although, there is no guarantee of a successful implant procedure but studies conducted over a period of five years have shown 90 per cent success rate for upper jaw implants and 95 per cent success rate for lower jaw implants.
There are many reasons for the failure of dental implants. However, the root cause is linked with a failure in the osseointegration procedure. For instance, if a dental care expert places the implant in a poor position then osseointegration may not occur. As a result, implants may be infected or break and thus crowns become loose. It is one of the most safest treatments for crooked or missing teeth.
