A dental implant which is also known as a fixture is a surgical element that interludes with the jaw bone or the skull to support a dental device in the absence of tooth such as a bridge, crown, denture. The modern dental implant is a biological process wherein materials like ceramic, titanium, etc. are fixed firmly bonded to the bone. The implant fixture is first placed on the empty portion of the mouth after which a considerable period of time is given for the healing. After the healing period a dental material, a bridge, tooth or a denture is affixed to the implant which is held by a dental implant. Success or failure of these dental implants depends on the health of the patient who is undergoing this treatment.
Dental implants are given to patients after checking up their sustainability of pain, and they must also be non allergenic to the drugs which are injected at the time of implant. They must also be able to sustain the amount of stress which is put in during the fixture of implants. It is a highly risky treatment which is to be done by experienced doctors seeing the angle of position of fixture of implants, jaw opening level of the patient etc. It has been considered as a very famous treatment among the foreigners as well. Following are the advantages:
1. Restores a natural tooth: An implant acts as a proxy for a normal tooth and hence it helps in restoring the functions of a natural tooth like chewing, biting etc. It also covers up the gap in the gum, which prevents in food particle deposition, which in turn creates gum cavities.
2. Long term: These dental implants last for a lifetime when fixed properly and taken care of in a good condition, unlike dental bridges which lasts only for a maximum period of five years. 3. Retain the natural effect: Dental implants help the patient to retain their original effect of their face that is the shape, size or the orbit of the face will remain the same even after the implants.
4. Protecting gums: Leaving the mouth with gaps will allow food sediments to deposit which will create cavities leading to bigger health issues. 5. Creates self confidence: When an implant is done the patient feels more confident while smiling, speaking and they leave behind the embarrassment of toothless gaps in the mouth. Dental Implants are very popular among the people when compared to the other places since their doctors are experienced in treating people with implants.
