If you no longer believe in the efficacy of conventional dentures, crowns, and bridges, you can turn toward dental implant surgery. According to statistics, around 3 million people have dental implants in the United States, and the number is expected to grow as the years go by.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone. They allow the dentist to insert new replacement teeth or crowns into the jawbone.
Types of dental implants include endosteal implants, which is more common and are placed “in” the bone, and subperiosteal dental implants, which dentists place “on” the bone.
Dental implants carry a lot of benefits and positive effects. In sum, here is a list of the most important benefits that you can gain from these implants:
If you’re healthy and ready to have oral surgery or standard dental extraction, then you can be a good candidate for dental implant surgery. In addition, you need to:
Often, dentists perform dental implant surgery in an outpatient facility under general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or IV sedation. The implant bonds with your jawbone and imitates the root of a tooth. It is commonly made of precious elements, such as titanium. The steps of the surgery differ depending on the type of implant that your dentist will use, whether endosteal or subperiosteal. In any case, the general steps of the endosteal implant can involve the following:
Your dentist will make an incision in the gum to reveal the jawbone.
They will drill deep holes into the bone to create more room for implant insertion.
Finally, your dentist will insert the implant into the right place. They might also put a removable denture over the hole until the permanent tooth bonds to the implant later on.
However, if you have a subperiosteal implant, your dentist will place the implant on or above the bone rather than drilling a hole in your jawbone. Nonetheless, you must expect some swelling and discomfort that might last for a few days regardless of the kind of implant you received.
The success rate for dental implants is relatively high and most patients express a high degree of satisfaction. However, unwanted complications can occur in some cases, and may involve the following:

Everyone who has lost a tooth is a good candidate for dental implants.
Dental implants are safe for smokers. However, smokers should pay more serious attention to doctor instructions because smoking slows down the attachment of the tooth to the jawbone.
The doctor usually recommends quitting smoking and taking more vitamins by the end of the transplant period.
Dental implants are not recommended for those undergoing chemotherapy, people with osteoporosis, and people with calcium deficiency.
Dental implants are attached to the jawbone using a screwlike device.
Therefore, the teeth cannot be moved, because the implanted teeth will be very similar to the natural teeth.
Oral diseases, especially bruxism, must first be treated before placing the implant.
