What are dental implants
A dental implant is nothing more than a prosthesis that will replace one or more teeth that have been lost for some reason.
They are placed inside the gum and serve as a support to place the missing teeth there.
The part of the implant that goes inside is made of pure titanium metal or some alloy and is placed through surgery.
Titanium is a metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and perfectly biocompatible, which is why implants are made from this material.
Although some are made of an alloy of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium.
It has better properties to resist corrosion and also more resistance, osseointegration is done excellently well.
The importance of having good teeth.
A person who lives with bad teeth is a person who is embarrassed to laugh and hides his smile from the world.
The teeth are lost for different reasons and at any age, the loss of only one of the teeth makes us go to the dentist immediately.
Parts of a dental implant
There are three parts that make up this tool, two of them go outside the bone, connected to the intraosseous part and they are the ones that can be damaged over time and will have to be changed in the long term.
And the third part is the one that goes inside the bone, it is made of titanium, it is the one that will integrate with the bone and can last a lifetime.
These three parts are called:
- Implant
- Connection
- Crown
The implant is the part that is placed intraosseously, this part is the one that will give tension and support to the other pieces, it can look like a screw or it can be of another type.
Its design is chosen to be inserted into the bone and is responsible for serving as a support for the cover screw.
Cover Screw, is placed on the crest module of the implant to prevent tissue from growing inside that thread module. The provisional tooth is placed on this. This piece will be removed once the bone integration is done, to place the definitive tooth.
Teeth, the provisional tooth is placed while the osseointegration process is carried out and is removed together with the cover screw, when the final tooth is placed, which is adjusted to the implant by means of an internal union screw.
Temporary and permanent teeth have all the appearance of a natural tooth.
Dental implants are the most effective solution and carry with them a strong emotional burden for the person who undergoes this treatment.
The person regains self-confidence, now he shows his smile to the world, because he does not have to hide since they look as good as if they were natural.
They do not run from the place, they do not fall off when used regularly, they look impeccable and carry normal hygiene maintenance.
Types of dental implants
Subperiosteal: This type of implant is a metal frame that sits on top of the jawbone, below the gum tissue. They are used in patients who have a minimal or very small bone structure, such as to implant an endosteal one.
Endo-osseous: They are the ones that are implanted inside the bone, it is the most used and is placed through surgery, they are used to place one or more teeth consecutively.
Internal connection implants are better than external connection implants, but it depends on the patient’s bone structure, which implant should be placed.
There are many brands, the important thing is who places them, it does not matter if it is the best implant because it is the most expensive in price, they are all very good.
The important thing is who places these implants, it has to be the best dentist, the choice of the professional is fundamental, to have the best results.
Dental implant in Torrox, how is it placed?
People who can have a dental implant placed in Torrox are all those who are in good health and who are in a position to undergo surgery.
People who have a good volume of bone, where they can place the implants both to replace a single tooth or all the teeth.
The risks are typical of any minor surgical intervention.
The patient who undergoes this treatment enters the clinic and leaves with his temporary teeth the same day.
This is important for the emotionality of the patient, that he sees himself with a total change from the first moment.
In some cases the surgery is performed with an anesthesiologist and in others with local anesthesia.
Post-operative care is minimal. Before, during and after the intervention, the patient is treated with analgesics and anti-inflammatories.
Hygiene
The areas to be cleaned are the following:
External area: these are the teeth and the pink ceramic that simulates the gums. It is cleaned with a toothbrush and toothpaste recommended by the dentist.
Internal zone: it is the one that is between the prosthesis and the gum, for this, as we will not remove the prosthesis from the place because it is fixed, we will use dental floss, to clean around the implanted pillars, which are the connection between the gum and the prosthesis.
The interproximal brush is also very useful for cleaning this area and its use is recommended.
Poor oral hygiene can cause irritation or some other disease.
The cleaning of the prosthesis is relevant for the prevention of periodontal disease, it is achieved by maintaining good oral hygiene and also visiting the dentist every six months.
Once the surgery is done, the change is so visible that you will regain the security of being yourself again.
It will be rewarding to look at your smile in the mirror, to see the happiness on your face and that of your family. It will be a total change for you and for those around you.
Give your face a beautiful smile.
