The best solution to replace a missing tooth is dental implants. These implants will restore the form and function of your missing teeth. If a patient is missing more than one tooth, then a titanium screw is drilled into their jaw bone to anchor the supporting tooth (crown). After the insertion of the screw, an implantologist will attach a crown that is similar to the natural tooth’s appearance. The best part about getting implants is that they both look and function like natural teeth. The success rate of dental implants is high, and they do offer long-term benefits.
People with missing teeth are not as confident while smiling or talking in the presence of others. Teeth can be lost for a variety of reasons, including severe gum disease, trauma, accidents, tooth decay, and so on. A missing tooth can lead to issues such as speech problems, sagging of cheek muscles, pain in the jaw due to improper biting and chewing of food, low self-esteem, smile issues, etc.
With dental implants, you can overcome all these issues and also boost your self-confidence. Implants are the perfect solution for missing teeth, as people irrespective of age and gender can get this procedure done. The success rate of dental implants is also high.
Traditional method
In the traditional method, there are two procedures involved. There will be a three-to-six-month gap between the two processes. The extra time is for the patient to heal completely. In the initial consultation with the dentist, they will determine whether or not you require a dental implant after a thorough examination. After the examination, the doctor will create impressions of your teeth and gums, along with taking dental x-rays of your jaw around the area missing the tooth. In a few cases, the doctor may conduct a CAT or CT scan to understand what they have to deal with. Through this scan, the doctors can determine the location of structures such as nerves and sinuses and avoid them. They can also determine how much of the jaw bone is available for implantation.
New dentistry techniques have made the implant procedure pain-free. Patients can get sedation to feel comfortable during the procedure. Once the jaw is prepared, they make a cut to expose the bones to drill holes. If the bone is weak, the doctor has to perform bone grafting to support the surgery. Once the wound is healed, the doctor will proceed with the second procedure. They make a new cut on the implant and attach a collar or a healing cap on the top of the implant. With the healing cap, the surrounding gum tissues will also heal well, and the patient can remove the healing cap. Lastly, the abutment and crown are screwed onto the top of the implant. The crown is not placed until the jaw bone is strong enough to support the new tooth.
The dental filling to be used will depend on the decay condition and the allergy history of patients with metals. The types of fillings that are available are:
Composite Filling
Composite fillings are preferred by those who don’t want their fillings to be visible. These fillings have the natural color of the teeth. This type of dental filling is recommended for front teeth and chipped teeth. Composite fillings bond extremely well with the tooth structure. Compared to other dental fillings like amalgam and metal, this one wears off quickly.
Amalgam Filling
Of all the fillings, the amalgam fillings are the strongest as they are made of a mix of several metals. They are the first preference for many dentists as they are widely used and researched.
Ceramic or porcelain filling.
Porcelain fillings are produced on request; these are bonded to the teeth. This filling can be matched to the color of your teeth. Most importantly, it covers a larger part of your teeth and resists staining.
Metal Filling
The metal fillings are also made to order and then cemented in place. The metal filling is long-lasting, and gold filling is more expensive compared to silver. Gold is the preferred choice for dentists as it is well tolerated by the gum tissues, withstands chewing forces, and lasts for more than 15-20 years.
If you are consulting an expert implantologist, you will feel little to no pain during the procedure. Also, during the procedure, the patient would be administered with local anesthetics, so the patient would not feel any pain.
One of the benefits of dental implants is that they do get infected by decay like natural teeth. If you take proper care of your gums and implants, they will last for around 25 years. Although this may vary from patient to patient,
A person can get single implants, multiple implants, or full-mouth implants. If your mouth is missing most of its teeth, then you can get procedures such as all-on-six or all-on-four to get full dental implants with 4 or 6 titanium posts on the jaw bone.
