• Reasons for choosing dental implants include having one or more missing teeth, a fully grown jawbone, enough bone for implant security or the ability to have a bone graft, healthy mouth tissues, no underlying health conditions that may impact bone healing, a preference not to wear dentures, a desire to improve speech, a commitment to a several-month process, and a non-smoking status.

Dental implants are modern and durable options for replacing missing teeth. They are made up of three key parts:

1. Implant Post: A titanium screw that is implanted into the jawbone, serving as a synthetic tooth root.

2. Abutment: A connector placed on top of the implant post to secure the replacement tooth in place.

3. Crown: The visible portion of the tooth that is specially crafted to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of color and shape.

Unfortunately, some dental insurance plans will not cover the costs of implants, regardless of the patient’s needs. This can create financial problems for the patient desiring optimal care while preventing the dentist from providing the best treatment for a variety of clinical issues. Insurance concerns result in many patients being unable to afford or be reluctant to undertake implant dentistry. In many cases, patients cannot or will not pay what might appear to be a much higher fee for an implant‐retained prosthesis compared to the cost of conventional treatment, however unsatisfactory the latter might be. 

Dental professionals with expertise in implant placement

Various dental professionals perform dental implant surgery, but oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists possess extensive experience in this field.

1. Consultation and Planning: Comprehensive examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to determine the best placement for the implants.

2. Surgical Placement: The implant post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia.

3. Osseointegration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a solid foundation for the replacement tooth.

4. Abutment Placement: Once the implant is securely integrated, the abutment is attached.

5. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is secured to the abutment, completing the restoration.

1. Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, enhancing your smile and confidence.

2. Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are more durable compared to other tooth replacement options like bridges or dentures.

3. Bone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, preserving your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth.

4. Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, dental implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth. This helps maintain the integrity of your natural teeth and promotes better long-term oral health.

5. Enhanced Comfort and Functionality: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures. They provide stability, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Patients who are edentulous or who will lose their remaining teeth in the near future should be given options to restore their dentition. Many problems exist with traditional dentures – primarily poor retention. Implants can be used to stabilize dentures with the use of abutments or attachments. Implants can also be used to give the patient a fixed alternative. These fixed alternatives are generally screw‐retained prostheses that restore the form, function, and esthetics of the natural dentition
