Osseointegrated Dental Implants The Future of Gum and Bone Health

Osseointegrated implants are a type of dental implant (a small titanium metal rod) surgically placed in the jawbone by a dentist. However, these implants have an essential difference from previous generations of dental implants: they form a direct bone-to-implant connection without the need for a connecting abutment or component with a ball on top. Titanium is one of the few metals compatible with bone tissue, so it does not require any unique material for this connection.<br>

  1. Osseointegrated Dental Implants: The Future of Gum and Bone Health

  2. Osseointegrated implants are a type of dental implant (a small titanium metal rod) surgically placed in the jawbone by a dentist. However, these implants have an essential difference from previous generations of dental implants: they form a direct bone-to-implant connection without the need for a connecting abutment or component with a ball on top. Titanium is one of the few metals compatible with bone tissue, so it does not require any unique material for this connection.

  3. A titanium peg is surgically inserted into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with it to fit one of these pieces. It provides much more excellent stability than other dental implants, which can dislodge or loosen as bone gets replaced by scar tissue at the implant site. The next move will be for patients to receive treatment where one osseointegrated implant will replace all their teeth, just like natural teeth. It would eliminate the need for removable dentures and would give patients a more natural look and feel.

  4. In conclusion, osseointegrated implants are a more permanent solution for replacing teeth. They do not require the use of abutments that connect with screws on top of natural teeth or replacement teeth, thus allowing more room to anchor them securely in the jawbone. Teeth would get replaced by grinding down existing healthy teeth and placing crowns over osseointegrated implants, which can receive an array of attachments to achieve functionality identical to regular teeth. This technology will likely become available within the next few years as a New Orleans dental implant due to its complexity and cost, but its future possibilities are inspiring.
