Today we have come up with an analysis about
dental implants, explaining what exactly dental implants are, how a patient can benefit from it and how a person who have undergone dental implants should take care of their oral hygiene.
So first things first, let us begin with what dental implants are?
What are dental implants?
We can understand a dental implant as a metal frame, basically it is a titanium frame which is surgically rooted inside the gums of the patient. It is this metal framework on which dental surgeon will further mount the artificial teeth. It is the latest technology which has been proved to be very useful in mounting replacement teeth or bridge in area without teeth. Dental implants feel more natural and part of the original jaw line as compared to conventional dentures and bridges.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are not loose. You don’t need to take it out for cleaning. They become part and parcel of your original jaw line and you can clean them as you clean other teeth with regular brushing.
Apart from that dental implants do not affect the oral health of other teeth. It is teeth which has been planted directly inside the gums without any anchor of neighbouring teeth. So, it will not loosen the grip of any neighbouring teeth which can happen in case of dentures.
How does dental implants work?
In order to get dental implants done you will need to have a healthy jaw bone and gums in which the metal frame will be rooted for mounting of teeth. You shall have sufficient bones in the region for proper rooting. Doctors drill a metal frame in your jaw bones where it rests as a bed for the new teeth. New teeth made similar to the shape and colour of your original teeth is then mounted on that frame.
If your bones are too less or your gums are too soft then you will need to get bone grafted in that region before you get the teeth implanted. Apart from that if your sinuses are too close to the jaw bones then you will also need to uplift the sinuses before dental implant can be performed on you.
Once the implant have been done successfully then the dentures or the bridges mounted over those metal frames will not slip and stay firm on one place. With firm
dentures or bridges you will not face any difficulty while eating or speaking. Dental implants can be seen as promising solution for speaking troubles due to lost teeth. Best part is that in case of dental implants you do not need to prepare any adjacent teeth or ground it for placement of implant in the jaw bone.
Some important tips to take care of dental implants!
ORAL Hygeine
Oral hygiene is a must for taking care of dental implants. You shall brush twice a day and floss at least once in a day to protect your teeth from any cavity attack. Apart from that you should also use a toothbrush with interdental bristles so that it can reach places which are otherwise difficult for regular toothbrush to reach.
Avoiding Sweet
Avoiding sweet and sticky food and brushing your teeth just after having sticky food is also very important. Sugar coated food produces acid in teeth, attracts germs, create cavities and ultimately spoil the teeth.
Avoid Hard Food
Avoid eating hard food such as ice, hard candies, and beetle nuts and so on. Hard food will not only exert additional pressure on your jaw line but it may also break the crown of your implanted teeth. In order to have long life of implanted teeth, it is better to eat soft food which can be chewed easily without any extra pressure and sticking on the teeth.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking is not only injurious to your physical health but it is equally injurious to your oral health. Smoking makes structure of your bones weak and ultimately leads to failure of the implant.
Regular Visit to the Dentist
Regular visit to the dentist is another very important tips for taking care of implants.
Dentist will not only clean your teeth but will also check for any breakage in the
implanted teeth.
