What are dental implants?

A dental implant is an artificial set of a tooth, comprising of a root, an attachment, and a crown to fit on top of the root. Dental implants are rooted in your jawbone, just like your natural teeth. They are the strongest form of dental restoration.

Dental implants are typically made of titanium and can be made to resemble your natural tooth. An estimated 5 million people have dental implants in the US alone, and the number is only growing each year!

When do you need a dental implant?

  • You have a missing tooth that needs to be restored.
  • A tooth is so infected that it’s best to extract it and get it replaced.
  • You have loose teeth.
  • A misaligned tooth that needs to be extracted.
  • A broken or chipped tooth.
  • A fractured tooth.

There may be other scenarios when you’d need a dental implant. Basically, whenever you have a missing tooth or need to replace a tooth, a dental implant is often the best option!

What to expect?

Getting dental implants is an extensive procedure and includes numerous steps. However, the following is a brief overview of what you can expect from the procedure:

  • An X-Ray will be done to understand the path of the implant. This X-ray acts like a guide for the oral surgeon.
  • If you have a tooth that has to be extracted, the surgeon will first extract your tooth before placing the implant. If you already have a missing tooth, the oral surgeon will directly proceed to place the implant.
  • Firstly, you’ll be given a sedative to ease your comfort throughout the procedure. A hole will be drilled through your gum line, deep into your jawbone, where the metal post will be placed. Since this metal post acts as a tooth root, it must be placed deep into your jawbone.

The process looks painful indeed. But remember that you’ll be sedated. Also, the residual pain from the procedure is not at all too much to handle. Over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen works just fine in tackling the pain.
