Implants are one of the most highly sought-after dental restorations. They are used to replace missing teeth that are extracted from your mouth in their entirety. Dentists from all around the world recommend dental implants over their alternatives, owing to some of the excellent features they offer.
Implants are not single pieces of restorations that are placed in the mouth in one go. They are composed of three main components, namely the metal implant stud, the connecting abutment, and a ceramic crown. The implant stud is the component that is inserted into the jawbone, which holds the entire prosthetic tooth stable. The ceramic crown replaces the visible tooth structure and allows the patient to bite and chew food, smile with confidence, etc. The abutment is a connecting element that is used to attach the crown to the implant stud.
Implant placement will require multiple visits to the dentist's office over a few months. Initially, the dentist will take scans and x-rays of the mouth to determine the jawbone size, placement available for the implant, etc. Also, your overall health will be evaluated to determine your candidacy for implants. The dentist will scan the teeth to make digital impressions, and send it to a dental laboratory for fabricating the implant crown.
Local anesthesia will be administered before commencing the process. A small hole will be made to insert the metal implant carefully and secure firmly using dental cement on the jawbone in the missing tooth's place. After a few months of healing, the crown will be placed on the implant using the abutment and dental adhesives. A bite test will be conducted, and the crown will be polished.
