What You Must Know About Dental Implants
The truth is dental implants can end up costing you a little bit of money. But here at Dental Implants UK we want to tell you that before you decide to walk away with this financial worry, think about all the money that you will have to spend maintaining your teeth over the course of your life.
Dental implant is an investment that you make towards having a good and healthy dental future for yourself. With the success rate of over 90%, you should know that you are in for something good for your teeth. Such a high success rate also takes away all the risks out of the equation.
After consultation with your dentist you will find that getting a dental implant depends on the reason that you want the implants and the health of your jawbone. In case, your jawbone is damaged you will have to get a bone graft done before the implant. There is a different surgical procedure for that and there is a recovery period before the dental implant can be done.
In dental implant, you will be given an anesthesia and then your gum will be sliced open for the position where your tooth will be replaced. A small rod made out of titanium will be inserted into the hole which is drilled in your jawbone. Then stitches are applied to ensure that the jawbone fuses with the rod over the period of next 3-6 months.
After there is a complete fusion of the rod and your jawbone, a cast will be made with a ceramic prosthetic tooth that will match the color and the shape of your natural tooth to fit on the titanium rod. The new prosthetic tooth is bonded to the titanium rod. After that it’s just a matter of time before when you will be walking around with a big gapless smile on your face.
With the improvement in medical technology now one can have an “instant dental implant” if he/she has healthy gums and jawbones. The procedure can be administered immediately after the extraction of the decayed/broken tooth. In instant implants, the prosthetic crown is temporary and it needs to be replaced with a custom fitted one. The recovery or the healing period of instant dental implant can still last for months.
If you want to know if you are the right person for the dental implant you should consult your dentist. Also, if you do not want to make the payment upfront you can ask your dentist to make a payment plan for you. However, you might not be able to get any type of reimbursement from the dental insurance so you will have to pay everything out of your own pocket.
Even though dental implants are a bit costly but they are worth the investment. There is no point in spending money on your dental things over the years and suffer during that time. Therefore, dental implant can provide you with an immediate treatment and you can start to feel great and continue to have a big wide permanent smile on your face.
