What Makes Implants Different?
Dental implants replace the tooth root and are the foundation for replacement teeth. Replacement teeth match natural teeth and can be either permanent or removable. Most of the time, when dentists talk about dental implants, they are referring to permanent replacement teeth
Implants can also be used to secure removable dentures so they don't slip and four or more implants are used to permanently install dentures that patients don't ever remove.
One excellent point about implants is the rest of your teeth can remain as they are because getting an implant doesn't require that other teeth be altered.
Dental implants are highly favored with a 98% success rate. Implants are typically never removed as they can last your whole life.
Benefits of Getting Dental Implants
Getting a dental implant has some moderate pain as it involves surgery and anesthesia. Most of the time local anesthesia is used over general anesthesia. Those who went through the process said receiving the implant is less painful than having a tooth removed. Soreness will likely follow the procedure for a few days but an over-the-counter pain reliever will remedy that.
Dental implants offer many permanent benefits including better appearance and speech, more comfort, easier eating, more confidence, and better oral health. Implants can last a lifetime and are convenient because they act as your natural teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Implant
Your dentist or prosthodontist will create a customized treatment plan for your implants. This is restorative dentistry and will involve oral surgery so it’s important to coordinate the best implant option that fits your need.
The actual implant, which replaces the tooth root, is a small titanium post.
It's inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. The jawbone will grow around the post as it heals and that will secure it to the jaw. This takes six to 12 weeks.
Your dentist or prosthodontist will need to make some teeth impressions and replicate your bite to create your new tooth. The dentist will likely do this when they remove the tooth and send it off to be crafted while you are healing.
After the implant is attached permanently to the jawbone, an abutment is put on the post. An abutment is a small post that connects the implant to the new tooth. The new tooth is bonded to the connection post.
The same process is used to secure dentures. Dentures instead of teeth are connected to a different type of attachment rather than an abutment.
