If you’re missing one or more teeth, a tooth implant could be the right solution for you. It’s a permanent tooth replacement option that can help you smile with confidence and eat comfortably again.잠실임플란트
Tooth implants are usually made of titanium, which is biocompatible and able to bond with bone. They can be used in a single tooth replacement or in an implant supported denture to replace multiple missing teeth. The dental implant procedure is typically done in a dentist’s office with local anesthesia or sedation.
During the surgery, an oral surgeon creates a small incision in the gum tissue to reveal the jawbone beneath. A hole is then drilled into the bone where the metal implant post will be placed. The implant post is left to meld with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which can take several months. Once the implant has fused to the bone, a connector piece called an abutment is attached to it. The abutment is what connects the crown to the implant and it will be visible when you smile.
Before your surgery, our dentist will make sure that your jaw is strong enough to support an implant. If it’s not, a bone graft can be used to add more strength and stability to the area. The procedure can be done at the same time as the implant or a few months later.
Once the implant has bonded with the jawbone, our dentist will install a new replacement tooth or denture on top of it. You’ll need to be careful when cleaning your dental implants and should avoid chewing hard or sticky foods to prevent damage. Practicing good oral hygiene and staying away from tobacco use will also be important for the long-term health of your implants.
The type of tooth implant you get will depend on the number of replacement teeth you need and your budget. Our dentist will recommend the best option for you after assessing your general oral health and taking X-rays of your mouth.
