Dental implants are fairly new and conservative procedures to replace one or several
missing teeth. The conservative nature of implants is in comparison to dental bridges
some patients in replacing teeth, good candidates for implants can appreciate and
take full advantage of this innovative procedure. In order to replace teeth with a
bridge, the adjacent teeth are used for retention. With implants your adjacent teeth
stay intact and your jaw bone acts as the retentive feature for the replacement tooth
or teeth.
The dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically anchored into the jaw bone.
An artificial tooth or teeth is then cemented over the implant, as illustrated by the
above diagram. The implant acts as the root for the artificial tooth or teeth. A single
tooth or several teeth are mounted over the implant and feel like natural teeth.
Implants can also be used to support a denture which is called an overdenture.
Implants, usually a minimum of two, are placed into the jaw bone and a metal bar
connects the two. The overdenture then clips onto this bar. The overdenture is
removable. Implants to support an overdenture are planned for cases where original
bone coverage is insufficient for conventional dentures.
To receive implants, patients need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to
support the anchorage of the implants. Not only do you need these supportive
structures for implants, but you must maintain these structures. Good oral hygiene is
essential and critical for maintaining the longevity of implants. Also regular dental
visits will increase the success rate of your dental implants. The healing process for
placement of implants is in the range of six to nine months. Every patient varys with
healing. The key to success is regular check-ups at the dental office and good at-home
care. Your dentist will identify if healing is within normal limits and provide
instructions for maintenance.
We are specialists in this procedure. It is done at Centro Dental in Ajijic, specially
staffed with impeccable sterilization.
