Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We've got you.
What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Dental implants are composed of three main components:
- A titanium screw implanted into the jawbone
- A custom-made ceramic crown or bridge to restore the tooth's appearance
- An abutment that connects the titanium screw to the crown
After the titanium post is implanted, the jawbone grows around it, securing it as part of your bone structure. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes a few months. Once healed, the final ceramic crown is secured to the post using the abutment. This integration gives dental implants exceptional strength and stability compared to traditional solutions like bridges or dentures.
Will I have temporary teeth replacement during the process of implant if it involve front teeth?
Yes. Thanks to advances in dental implant technique and technology. It is possible to have immediate implant placement and immediate temporary crown fitted on the same visit. The temporary crown will then be replaced by permanent crown once bone healing and maturation has taken place several months later.
How Successful Are Dental Implants?
Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on your overall health and habits. For people with good health and oral hygiene routine, dental implants are successful 90%-95% of the time.
Nevertheless, for your implants to be successful and remain functional in place, you do need to take good care of them and choose dentists who are well-trained in dental implant treatment.
Will Dental Implants treatment hurt?
Most of the times, placement of dental implants requires surgery. You will be given a local anesthetic with or without sedation to make sure that you don’t feel any pain during the procedure and advised on how to look after the wound to minimize any post-operative discomfort. After procedures, you will be prescribed pain relieving and anti inflammatory medications to minimize the symptoms. If the implant surgery does not involve bone grafting procedure, the discomfort will likely to resolve on the next day of surgery. In some cases where flap-less or immediate implant placement technique are used, the pain and discomfort after surgery can be neligible.
