Many people are afraid of dental procedures. Therefore, it is clear that whenever a dentist suggests dental implant to restore the toothless problem, the fear overwhelms the patient. This may sound weird or scary, but dental implants are just a small part of the titanium base that is surgically inserted into the jawbone in the toothless area. Also, as we all know, titanium is a tooth-compatible element;it is gradually blended into the jawbone to create a rigid and root-like structure.At the end of the process, the emergency dentist places the dental crown and abutment part on the base so that the patient can obtain the ability to chew and speak normally. The dental implants consist of three parts that will be explained as follows for a better understanding:
1) Implants: This cases made of titanium and is surgically implanted in the jawbone beneath the missed tooth. This titanium implant acts as the base for the new tooth.
2) Abutments or Supports: It is also made of titanium, porcelain, or gold. The cosmetic dentist give sit a natural tooth shape and prepares it to accommodate a crown. During treatment with the implant, this part is attached to the implant by screw. The abutment is positioned as a joint between the implant and the crown.
3) Repairs (Dental Crown): The healer (tooth-like part) is a dental crown. This tooth is made of porcelain, combined with an alloy, all-porcelain, or all metal. It is attached to the supports via a cement or screw in the dental clinic. If the crown is attached to the supports, the screw hole is covered with a tooth-filling material.
What Are the Different Levels of Treatment with Dental Implants?
Slowly space is prepared in the jawbone, and a dental implant is inserted into the jawbone in the emergency dental clinic. This implant will remain for 3 to 6 months to heal. Then crown is placed on the dental implant. These implants can be used as a fixed bridge or reinforcement to a loose prosthetic. Dental implants are made of materials that the jawbone tissue tends to them. Dental implants are used to replace the missed teeth, whether one or more lost teeth or when the patient has no teeth. If one does not have enough bone, the emergency dentist will increase the amount of bone by using special techniques (bone grafting). If your natural teeth are healthy and you want to brighten them, use teeth whitening treatment to improve your smile.
How to Take Care of the Dental Implant?
The patient can take care of dental implants in the same way that they take care of their natural teeth. After inserting dental implant, it is essential to keep adjacent areas clean, brushing, and flossing daily. The patient can also use toothbrushes with plastic hair that goes through the teeth to remove plaques effectively and safely. One should:
- Use dental floss well.
- Ensure all surfaces are clean.
- Use yarns and strips to clean between teeth and gums.
- If the patient has a problem, s/he can visit the emergency dentist before the 6-monthappointment.
