Dental Prosthesis Applications
Dental prosthetics, also known as dental implants, have revolutionized the way in which we approach missing or damaged teeth. In the past, bridges and dentures were the only options available to people with missing teeth, but with the advent of dental implants, people now have a much more comfortable and permanent solution.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are a popular and effective option for people who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. Dental implants are made of titanium, which is a biocompatible metal that integrates with the jawbone over time. This integration helps to provide a strong foundation for the replacement tooth.
There are several types of dental implants, including endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants, and zygomatic implants. Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant and are surgically placed into the jawbone. Subperiosteal implants are placed on top of the jawbone and are used when the jawbone is not deep enough to support endosteal implants. Zygomatic implants are used when the patient has a severely resorbed maxilla and are placed into the cheekbone.
The treatment process for dental implants typically begins with a consultation with a dental professional. During this consultation, the dentist will examine the patient’s mouth and take X-rays to determine the best type of implant for the patient’s needs. Once the dentist has determined the best type of implant, the patient will undergo a surgical procedure to place the implant. After the implant has been placed, the patient will need to wait several months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone.
Once the implant has fully integrated, the dentist will place a post into the implant, which will serve as the anchor for the replacement tooth. The replacement tooth, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture, is then attached to the post. The replacement tooth is custom made to match the patient’s existing teeth, providing a natural and seamless look.
Dental implants provide a permanent and natural-looking solution to missing or damaged teeth. They are strong, durable, and long-lasting, making them a popular option for people who want to restore their smile. Additionally, dental implants can help to prevent the jawbone from resorbing, which can occur when a tooth is missing.
