All You Need to Know About Dental Implants

A dental implant acts as a replacement for the root of a tooth. It is a titanium screw that is fitted into your jawbone, just as your tooth’s root would be. Once it is in place, the jawbone surrounding the screw begins to fuse to it. After a few months, or sooner if possible, a false tooth can be mounted onto the screw.

Anything from one to a whole mouthful of dental implants can be fitted, depending on the condition of your existing teeth. Most people are able to have this treatment, provided the bone in their jaw is in good condition. Your dentist will run a number of small tests beforehand to ensure that this is the case.

Overall, though, the process is well-established and relatively simple. You may feel some small discomfort as the implant is fitted, but this is done under a local anaesthetic and there will normally be no more pain than having a tooth extracted. Aftercare is very important, but if done correctly, your implant should last just as long as a real tooth would do.
