Dental Implants are the latest innovation to be used as a replacement of a missing tooth or a number of missing teeth. An implant is a surgical component made up of titanium and its alloys. It is placed directly into the jaw and it osseointegrates with the bone to acts as a replacement for the root of the natural tooth.
With a variety of sedation techniques available and with proper home care instructions, getting an implant done has become an absolute hassle-free experience and many patients report that they feel better than they anticipate. Patients can continue to do their day to day activities after getting an implant done. Though there can be some minor discomfort but they dont last for a long time.
Dental implants have been used for a very long time and are really safe and effective. As in any medical procedure, however, there can be some complications. Making sure that you choose a qualified, well-trained implantologist will help minimize complications and ensure skillful handling of all the issues that may arise. It is important that the health history of the patient is reviewed nicely and details of all the habits ( like smoking, tobacco chewing etc) should be taken in advance so that all the risks can be fully informed beforehand .
