Your dentist may have suggested you get a dental implant in Abu Dhabi as an alternative to a denture or bridge.
A dental implant is an artificial replacement for a missing natural tooth or root.
It offers more comfort and stability than dentures, lets you chew food comfortably and may improve your speech and facial appearance.
Implants are manufactured “anchors” that resemble cylinders or screws. Used in upper and lower jaws, they are surgically inserted into the jawbone to become a stable base for artificial replacement teeth.
The implant itself acts as the root of the tooth. The structure placed over the implant will look and perform like the natural tooth that was lost.
Unlike dentures, implants are not removed for overnight soaking and cleaning, need no adhesives and do not require anchoring to healthy teeth.
Implant surgery is a three-step process without any pain, performed in a dentist's office:
First, a dentist surgically places an implant directly into the jawbone, positioned like a natural tooth root. The implant will usually remain covered for three to six months to allow bone to develop around the implant to help hold it in place.
Once bone has developed, the dentist uncovers the implant and attaches an extension, called a post. The surrounding gum tissue then needs to heal — a process that typically takes several more months.
Once healing is complete, the implant is ready to serve as a foundation for the new tooth. The dentist makes a crown (or other artificial tooth replacement) and attaches it to the implant post.
The entire process can take five to nine months to complete, depending on the patient’s situation and speed of healing. Dentists typically give specific instructions on how to care for dental implants in Dubai. It is important that you follow these instructions carefully.
Having good general health, healthy gums and sufficient bone structure makes you a good candidate for implants. Depending on the location in the mouth, implants are usually between 90 and 100% successful.
Implants may be less successful for people who smoke, grind or clench teeth or have a history of radiation therapy. Patients with diabetes or osteoporosis who have bone loss in the jaw may also be at risk for complications. Check with your dentist to see if implants are the right choice for you.
Implants are more closely simulate the appearance and function of natural teeth. Implants are forever.
