What You Should Know About Dental Implants

Dental implants are an important part of restorative dentistry. They are basically metal screws which are inserted into the jaw bone. Their purpose is to serve as an anchor for false teeth. Implants can be used to anchor one tooth, a few teeth, or an entire set. When the restoration procedure is complete, the anchor will not be visible. The installation of these implants is a quite common procedure that many individuals undergo before having their false teeth put in. They work for most everyone, as long as there is enough bone in the area to hold the implant in place. If there isn't, bone grafts can be done to replace the bone that is missing. This means most everyone who needs tooth restoration can receive an implant successfully.

If you are missing the majority of your teeth, you are probably an ideal candidate for this procedure. However, even if you are only missing one tooth or a few teeth, you may still be able to reap the benefits of an implant. These days, they are used for smaller tooth replacement jobs as well as large ones. Even though there are clear benefits to implants, every procedure carries risks and precautions that should be considered. For example, the success rate is close, although not equal, to 100 percent. The potential success rate rises and lowers depending on various factors.

The best place for implants is the front lower jaw. The success rate for this area is probably as close to ideal as you can get. In other areas of the mouth, the success rate may not be as high. Another factor that may have an impact is smoking. It appears that smokers have a lower rate of success with their implants than non-smokers. The expertise and skill of the dentist performing the procedures is yet another aspect to factor in when calculating one's potential implant success rate. It is important to understand that while not every implant is a success, the majority of them are successful.

If you are ready to consider dental implants for yourself, it is important to find a qualified and experienced dentist near you who is familiar with the procedure. There are dentists who specialize in prosthodontistry, which relates to the replacement and restoration of teeth. A licensed prosthodontist is probably going to be your best bet when it comes to the successful installation of implants and the replacement of teeth.
