An Overview

A dental implant is a fake tooth root that's drilled in to the jaw bone to support an artificial tooth. Two or more implants can serve as a restoration for a small grouping of teeth.

This artificial titanium root device is surgically placed in to the jawbone where one tooth or a set of teeth is missing. A natural-looking false tooth or a set of false teeth (crowns) is then placed over the implanted root. The titanium root acts being an anchor for replacement tooth and provides stable support for numerous dental restorations, including crowns, bridges or dentures.

Forms of Teeth Implantation

Widely considered a questionnaire of cosmetic dentistry, dental implants are segregated into 3 basic types- Endosteal Implant, Plate Form Implant and Subperiosteal Implant.

Endosteal Dental Implant: Also called'Root Form'this cylindrical or screw type implant is shaped like the root of a tooth and implanted in to the jaw to provide a base for starters, several or perhaps a complete arch of artificial teeth. This type of tooth implantation is used where there is width and depth of jawbone is plentiful. The root form implants seem like the original tooth, and are the absolute most used of most kinds of dental implants. The recovery period for Endosteal implant will take 3 to 6 months.

Plate Form Implant: They are usually used when the jawbone is too narrow for bone grafting. This kind of implant is flat and long in form so it may fit in to the narrow jawbone. During implantation, a dental surgeon carefully sets the plate into place and closes the gums with several stitches. When healing is complete, the crown is attached with the implant. Like Root Form, Plate form implant may too take as much as 6 months for healing.

Subperiosteal Implant: This kind of implant may be prescribed when there's not enough bone width or height for the Root Form or Plate Form implants. It is a custom-made implant to rest on the top of jawbone but underneath the gums.

The Subperiosteal implant could be positioned on the bone into ways: Single surgery and dual surgery method.

For the "single surgery" method a CAT scan of the jawbone is taken. Utilising the CAT scan information and their state of the art computer modeling techniques, a style of the jawbone is constructed. This computerized model is employed by a dental laboratory to create the custom-fit subperiosteal implant. A dentist then surgically positions the implant on the bone. Afterwards, the gums are closed with several stitches and the artificial teeth are attached with the implant.

In the "dual surgery" method, the dentist will cut through the gums and take an impact of the bone using special materials. The gum is then sealed up. This model is then submitted to the dental laboratory where in actuality the dental implant is custom-made to suit your jaw. The next procedure is then carried out where in actuality the dentist again cut opens the gums and places the implant. The gums are again closed with several stitches.
