People who have missing teeth, face perpetual problems in their daily life. They will be unable to eat or talk properly. Furthermore, if the missing tooth is in the front, they would not be able to grin or smile with confidence. All of the above, would definitely have an impact on the quality of life that the individual can lead. For thousands of years, humans have tried to solve this problem effectively but have failed, until very recently. In the mid 1950’s a young Swedish surgeon invented what came to be known as the first modern dental implant. This invention addressed the problems of missing teeth in a comprehensive way. In fact, it become one of the most sought after dental procedures.
Basically, dental implants are metallic implants usually made out of titanium. Each dental implant will be designed to suit the exact specifications of each individual patient. During the surgery, the dental implant will be inserted onto the designated spot. In the post-surgical phase, the dental surgeon will let the wound heal. This is a very important time period as the defining feature of the implant will come into being. Which is known as Osseo integration, where the metallic implant fuses together with the natural bone tissue to create a structure of permanence. This feature is what gives the dental implant its structure of stability and permanence and makes it a durable solution to the problem.
During the post-surgical phase, if the dental surgeon deems that the Osseo integration has taken place, the next stage of the procedure can be begun. An abutment will be fixed onto the dental implant. This will act as the link between the dental implant and the artificial tooth. This artificial tooth or crown as it is called, will be crafted specifically to the patient’s requirements. Modern technology such as 3D imaging, enables customisation to a perfect standard. Once the crown is attached, the procedure can be signified as over and the patient now has an artificial tooth that is similar in functionality to a natural tooth and can be even more durable.
The end result of dental implants is proven by facts. Millions of people all around the world have used dental implants to improve their quality of life. Surveys show that overwhelmingly number of them are very satisfied by the outcomes of the surgery. An individual, who has missing teeth, can truly transform their life with dental implants.
