Dental implantation is winning favor among people suffering from teeth loss for their ability to preserve the natural form of the teeth row. This consists of installing titanium screws into an old tooth's gap and topping it off with a crown. As no two patients' dental bridges are alike, your dental practitioner can assess which of three common implant classes are appropriate for you.
Root-form implants are the most common type of dental implants, which often require a wide-enough jawbone as a foundation to put in the implant screw. Once inserted into the jawbone, it will take up to six months for the screw to meld with it before a crown is placed on top.
In case the patient's jawbone is too narrow for bone grafts required of root-form implants, a dentist will opt ahead for plate-form implantation. Plate-form implants have the small titanium rod with a thin metal blade underneath, which the jawbone will eventually fuse with. Subperiosteal implants are used if the jawbone mass is insufficient for the previous two types. The dentist will have to fashion the implant according to the design of the jawbone itself for the implant to fit.
Dental implants are often seen as a way to recover any lost self-confidence in the event of tooth loss. It also prevents bone loss and premature aging as well.
