About Dental Implants and Teeth Whitening
by Farhan Ali Digial MarketingDental Implants are the most effective and safest way to
replace lost teeth. With dental
implants, missing teeth are replaced by durable porcelain implants that
stay in place with no real effort from the patient. A dental implant is a metal
abutment that interfaces powerfully with the healthy bone of your jaw or skull
to serve as an anchor for a new tooth or dental prosthetics, such as bridges,
dentures, crowns, or even facial prosthetics. The new tooth or teeth are
installed securely into the bone. Unlike traditional tooth-fixed bridges,
dental implants are completely removable, reusable, and extremely durable.
No one knows for certain how humans survived before the
invention of dental implants, but millions of people around the world have lost
one or more teeth due to disease, trauma, accidents, infection, wisdom tooth
disease, or a combination of any of these causes. Even healthy adults can lose
one or more teeth during their lifetime. One of the most common causes of tooth
loss is tooth decay. Healthy adults lose about one tooth every year, usually
due to untreated cavity decay. Healthy adults also experience multiple teeth
losses during the course of their lives, sometimes due to disease, trauma,
infection, and tooth decay. Older adults are especially vulnerable to multiple
tooth loss due to the natural progression of tooth decay and gum disease.
In recent years, many advancements in prosthodontics and
cosmetic dentistry have made it possible to restore a single tooth through
dental implants. Single tooth prosthodontics involves grafting a tooth root from
a healthy part of your head to a damaged or infected tooth. The result is a
restoration of strength and function to that tooth. Single tooth prosthodontics
can restore function to teeth that have been severely damaged by cavities,
broken teeth, infections, or gum disease.
Bonding of the jawbone to the skull is the most common
method of surgical placement of dental implants. This procedure has improved
over the last few decades because of advances in prosthodontics. Bonding of the
jawbone offers two main benefits. It prevents the neighboring teeth from
becoming loose, which can reduce the risk of trauma to the adjacent teeth and
it provides stability to the jawbone, allowing for the easy movement of the
jaw. Bonding of the jawbone can be achieved by surgically placing either titanium or ceramic implant into the jawbone.
Tooth implants have come a long way over the years. Early
dental implants used materials such as copper and were extremely heavy. Today's
dental implants are much lighter and often made from titanium. They offer the
same strength and durability as other materials used in their manufacture, but
require less maintenance and are often more comfortable for the patient.
To date, the U.S. Preventive Services Division has not
approved the use of any single prosthetic device for all long-term oral
treatment. For this reason, patients with prosthetic teeth must wait at least
five years before they can undergo a full teeth replacement surgery. Although
there are no definitive guidelines addressing the scheduling of prosthetic
teeth replacement, patients must be prepared to wait for at least a minimum of
five years after they become eligible for treatment. A systematic review of
current research offers some hints regarding the optimal scheduling of
prosthetic tooth implant surgeries.
Patients must plan ahead when they contact an orthodontist to discuss possible tooth implant surgery. In a systematic review
published in May 2021 in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical
Associations, the recommended time period for a patient to begin receiving
prosthetic dental implants were three to five years before a prosthetic implant
surgery. Patients may want to consider waiting until they have completed their
college education or have acquired a professional degree in dentistry before
they make a decision regarding the scheduling of their surgery. For many
dentists, the best time to perform dental implants is after the completion of
their dental school and after they have been waiting at least five years to
undergo their surgery.
If the benefits of dental implants outweigh the risk of
having a poor outcome, then patients should schedule their surgery at the
earliest convenience from Doc's Dental. The most important factor for patients is the success
rate of the procedure. This refers to the success rate of the metal implant and
the success rate of the natural teeth. Research has shown that patients who
receive high-quality care from highly qualified practitioners have a success rate
of approximately 95%. Experienced Dentists
will use the success rate provided by the patient as one of the many factors
they use in scheduling their dental implants.
