A dental implant is a metal rod that is placed in the jawbone to hold a false tooth in place. They are usually made of titanium, a metal that is well-tolerated by the body.
Over several months, the bone fuses with the metal implant. A small attachment is left protruding through the gum, and dentures or bridges can be screwed or clipped onto this attachment.
One implant can support one or more false teeth. Five or six implants are usually used to replace all the teeth in the jaw.
Implants are an alternative to;
1. Conventional bridges
2. Partial dentures.
3. Loose Dentures -If you find that your denture moves around a lot in your mouth, implants may help to anchor the denture in place. When you lose teeth, your jawbone may start to shrink. Implants can help slow down this process. A Full denture can be secured by a minimum of only 2 implants in most cases. This not only secures the denture i can construct you a plate so small that you will feel as if you have all your own teeth again and feel, chew and taste that food you have missed out on.
Dental implants have a high success rate. The surgery is commonly performed and is generally safe. However, in order to make an informed decision and give your consent, you need to be aware of the possible side-effects and the risk of complications of this procedure.
