The Facts Related To Dental Implants:
- The history of implants dates back to the Mayan civilization. Dental implant dentures are basically a replacement for the roots of the teeth secured to the jaw bone which becomes invisible once it is surgically placed. Dental implants require expertise in precession planning, surgery, and tooth restoration. A Two-dimensional radiograph or 3D CAD/CAM computer program is normally used to accurately pinpoint the vital structures and plan accordingly before the surgery.
- Dental Implanting is a three stage process. In the first stage the dental implant is fused to the bone in a process called Osseo Integration and in the second stage the dentist will attach a post to the implant to support the teeth and in the third stage which is known as the restorative phase the dentist will make impressions and make a prosthesis which is then attached to the implants. Once the process is completed the teeth will have a natural look. Implants are made of titanium which is a biocompatible material and has the highest success rate in dental Implant surgery.
