Things you need to know about dental implants
Dental implants Newmarket. When you should consider them:
Undergoing surgery to have dental implants Newmarket is not the most common option for those who badly need a permanent replacement for their missing teeth. It is more expensive than having dentures, and it is possibly more uncomfortable and painful after the anesthesia wears out. Nevertheless, dental implants are permanent replacements. They are meant to last a lifetime, although the quality of the crown or tooth replacement also determines how long it may last.
Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth, regardless if they are due to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. This is done to give a tooth replacement something to anchor to. About 98% of surgeries are considered successful.
A typical surgery in a Newmarket dental implants clinic lasts an hour, although the length of time is largely affected by the number of implants required and the type of crown preferred. The time frame also excludes the time needed for evaluation and post-surgery care. Furthermore, the preparation before the surgery may be longer if the dentist finds out that the patient has insufficient bone material. A bone deficiency treatment may be requested in this case.
Most dental implant surgeries are performed by general dentists. However, other specializing dentists may be needed, depending on the patient’s dental history and oral health condition.
