Implantation of teeth

What is implantation?

The most popular method of dental prostheticsnow is implantation. It is an artificial substitution of a natural titanium root, on which removable or permanent prostheses or crowns are attached. Implants of the teeth are inserted surgically, and then fixed. Carry out the procedure better immediately after tooth extraction. Otherwise, the process of deformation of the jaw can begin, and this will not only affect your appearance, but will also be very detrimental to the facial system.

Preparation period

Before you place dental implants, be sure to consult a dentist. You need to cure caries, periodontitis, thrush, or other diseases. Implantation itself will occur in stages.

First step

Surgically, under anesthesia, you will bescrew implant, which is fixed in the bone. It is put on a special plug to prevent the ingrowth of tissues. After that the wound is sewn up.

Second phase

The next stage will be held after the fullhealing of tissues (upper jaw - 5-6 months, lower - 2-3). In place of the plug put the shaper of the gums and install crowns or dentures. Sections of the incisions are sewn under local anesthesia. The patient after dental implantation should be observed at the dentist every 2-3 months. Regularity of visits will be specified by the doctor. Also, do not forget about the proper oral hygiene, use a toothbrush, thread, rinse aid.

How long the implants serve

It should be noted at once that dental implants will becost you not cheap. The production of a metal-ceramic crown on the implant will cost you about 80-100 dollars, but to the full cost, anesthesia, treatment, styling, etc. should be added. It all depends on where you will conduct the procedure. Here it is better not to save, because good quality implants will serve you 10-15 years. Provided that you will follow all the recommendations of the dentist and visit him regularly.
