Dental Implants
At Radix Dental Care you can get your implants done smoothly. It is a procedure in which an artificial tooth root is put into your jaw which holds a replaced tooth or bridge and looks and function much like a natural tooth. It is a wonderful option for patients who have lost a tooth or teeth owing to periodontal ailment or an injury or due to dental caries.
Dental Implants used now-a-days are made of titanium-these implants fuse with bone through a biologic process called “osseo-integration”. To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
The American Dental Association considers two types of implants to be safe. They are:
Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture.
Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
