Is teeth implant painful?

With numbed nerves, you can expect not to feel any pain during your dental implant procedure. You may feel pressure at times, but it should not cause you discomfort.

How long does dental implant last?

Dental implants are considered the only permanent tooth replacement. This is because the implant serves as a replacement tooth root. When cared for properly, implants can last the rest of your life! The tooth replacement, like a crown or implant-supported dentures, will likely need to be replaced after 10-15 years.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a type of dental fixture that replace the natural tooth with an artificial version. Dental implants attach to your jaw and integrate into the bone, creating a permanent and lasting bond. Dental implants can replace missing teeth and act as mounts for bridges,crowns or dentures.

Dental implants are an important component of cosmetic dentistry. About 5.6% of Australians have at least one dental implant.

Types of Dental Implants

Endosteal implants are the most common type and involve a titanium implant in the jawbone that serves as a mount for the artificial tooth crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is A Viable Candidate For Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a good choice for patients who have broken/missing teeth or are not comfortable with other dental procedures (i.e., crowns, bridges, etc.). Patients with insufficient jawbone mass or other health conditions may not be good candidates for implant procedures.

Do Implants Carry Any Risks?

Like any procedure, dental implants do carry some risks. Short term post-operative pain and discomfort are common side effects of surgery, and there is a small risk of infection at the incision site. Your dentist will provide post-procedure care instructions to minimize risks and manage wound healing.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are permanent teeth replacement solutions and you can never get decay with an implant! These implant titanium posts integrate into your the jawbone, creating a permanent bond for the mount. However, just like your natural teeth, you can get gum disease around them if there is inadequate oral hygiene practice. The top crown part of the fixture on average lasts about 15 to 20 years, since it is subjected to everyday natural function and wear & tear. Overall, your implants will last longer if you eat with care and maintain good oral hygiene.

Are Dental Implants Removable?

No, dental implants are not supposed to be removable. However, dentists can perform procedures to remove dental implants if they deteriorate or do not integrate properly. However in some circumstances, you can have removable dentures sitting over permanent implants.

Can I Get Metal-Free Implants?

Unfortunately, there are no “metal-free” dental implants. All approved dental implant surgery techniques utilise some kind of metal, such as titanium. These metals are medical-grade and highly biocompatible, meaning they naturally integrate with the body and will not cause metal toxicity or other harm. Dental implants are the same type of metal used for knee or hip replacements.

How Long Do Implants Take?

Dental implant procedures have two stages. In the first, the dentist will place the titanium mount into the jawbone. After the site heals, they will install the artificial crown in the next stage. The actual healing time will depend on the quality and quantity of bone in the area.
