The indications and versatility of Dental Implants have increased
Lorna Linda University, School of Dentistry in the U.S.A, mentioned that long term successful outcomes depend significantly on the clinicians experience in doing the procedures.
Implants were twice as likely to fail if the surgeon had performed less than 50 implantations in his/her career, their reports say.
In our dental clinic, we practice new dental implant techniques known as “Flap-less (Drill less Surgery” and immediate loading dental implants surgery
In the Flap-lesss procedure – Gum tissue is left intact during the entire surgery, no removal of blood circulation to the gums – faster healing period.
For some years, the treatment for those who lost their teeth are Dental Implants.
Traditional Implants consist of IMplant placement and then tooth restoration after 3 to 6 months, so the bone attaches to Dental Implant. Many find it inconvenient and take a long time.
In some cases, Immediate Loading Dental Implants Procedures are the better choice than Delayed conventional Implants.
Immediate Dental Implants are cheaper than its counterparts, It’s made of the same material, same procedures done by well known big Dental Implant Companies.
Also another plus is the patient does not have to come back after 6 months. Spend for the materials, abutments) for the second stage surgery in the Delayed aConventional Implants, spend again on flight to and from the clinic in another country sometimes, hotels, food, serverything also the screws of abutments sometimes breaks and has to be replaced just in case. Immediate loading implant procedures is popular because of less trauma, less Total treatment time, less anxiety of patient and discomfort, better acceptance by patients, better cosmetics and function, cheaper cost per implant so patient can afford more implants, to be done, reduced micromovements by placement of several components (healing abutment and screws) disturbing implants, patient not being charged for coming back treatments.
(Often at the end of the 1990s the technology was applied more reviews showed that immediate loading dental implants had similar high success as of conventional approach (delayed conventional Implants)
If Flapless Surgery procedures for Dental Implant Surgery is followed, there’s no gum recession because there is no gum incision, less discomfort if any, Patients are able to go shopping in malls right after surgery.
With proper selection of cases, good treatment plan, careful, skillful surgery and good prosthetics. Design and plan are important for best results. When Immediate Loading dental Implant system is used. For success of the Implant, there should be primary stability during Implant insertion and loading, presence of adequate bone volume, density and using longer, and wider dental implants.
The Implant surgery in much shorter time, healing time is reduced, no complications after surgery and lower usual high price of dental implant procedures.
Therefore more patients can easily afford to have one more dental implant.
Historically, experiment studies have shown that dental implants integrate well under loading and may even result in better integration.
Studies have shown an increase in stability with resonance frequency analysis from time to time of Immediately Loaded implants with good bone response to the implants. Short term results of immediate loading techniques for lower implants overdentures have comparable success with conventional implants. A flapless technique reduces bleeding, less surgical time, less postoperative pain, soft tissue inflammation healing. Short term surgical reports and outcomes clinical of both immediate and delayed implants were similar and comparable to implants placed in healed alveolar ridges.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
There are many advantages to dental implants, including:
Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip. Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
Improved oral health. Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
How Successful Are Dental Implants?
Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care (see below), implants can last a lifetime.
Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?
In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders — such as diabetes or heart disease — or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Dental Implants?
In general, dental implants are not covered by dental insurance at this time. Coverage under your medical plan may be possible, depending on the insurance plan and/or cause of tooth loss. Detailed questions about your individual needs and how they relate to insurance should be discussed with your dentist and insurance provider.

For most people, dental implants are not entirely new – it is a way of restoring lost teeth. While it is uncommon, there are still a few cases of lost teeth in adults. The need for dental restoration is a bit on the high side recently. According to the statistics from the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, about 69% of adults of ages 35 to 44 have lost not less than a tooth. And the popular causes of these losses include accidents, failed root canals, tooth decay, or gum diseases. Accidents that lead to loss of teeth might be rare, but cases of dental fractures and advanced gum decay or diseases are quite common.
One of the feasible solutions in these situations is to undergo a dental implant.
Dental Implants
We can define dental implants to be: “…posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and other materials easily accepted by the human body.”
Moving forward, implants can come in four different forms based on the peculiarity of the situation. The first type is designed to replace a single tooth; the second replace several teeth in a row; the third one replaces multiple teeth around existing ones; the fourth/last is designed to offer support to a complete set of dentures. The fourth type is more specific for individuals seeking dentures since they get more benefits from this full denture implant that are not available in traditional dentures.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Dentures, over time, has offered means of eating, talking, and appearances that seem like the natural teeth, even if there are only two or one original teeth present in the denture set. Despite these great benefits, dentures can lead to discomfort for many that use them. Just like a retainer, a denture also sits in the mouth, and there is no means of holding it firmly in place. Yes, dentures offer a good short-term solution in some cases, there are also a couple of adverse effects that come with their usage.
The fragile and infirm nature of dentures means you cannot consume some foods, and slipping dentures inhibits clear speeches. Generally, implants are more durable than dentures, because the latter need additional maintenance and/or periodic replacements. However, implants are relatively costlier, but offer a more comfortable, durable, secure alternative, with a natural appearance.
Who is eligible for an implant?
Not everyone can get dental implants. Patients with a history of severe illnesses or infections like leukemia or diabetes are not fit for implants. The same goes for tobacco users; they may not heal properly from the implant processes. For these sets of individuals, considering other alternatives is highly recommended. However, if you have been cleared by your dentist as fit for implants, and you feel comfortable undergoing one, you will find it as a worthy investment that offers impressive gains of functional and beautiful teeth.
A prerequisite for an all-on-4 implant is the total loss of all your teeth in a dental arch on the bottom or top or having several teeth with severe pains and issues. In cases where you are missing just one or two teeth, and the remaining teeth are healthy, small bridges or individual implants are the best options.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The greatest advantage of a dental implant is that it fixes many current and future dental problems at the same time. The need to replace lost or damaged teeth comes in three levels:
- To ensure that exposed gums, caused by the damaged or lost teeth, don’t lead to further decay or damage caused by the exposed gums.
- To ensure that the absence of the lost or damaged teeth does not lead to an improper bite adjustment, which could be painful or facilitate the decay or damage of the nearby tooth.
- To ensure that the patient regains full function of the teeth in the shortest possible time, so that he or she can speak, chew, and smile effortlessly.
When you consider the ability of dental implants to offer permanent solutions to these problems, you will see that it is the best option on the list.

If you have ever experienced the loss of one or more of your teeth due to a number of reasons like an accident, dental cavities, or any other reason for that matter, the fact is it’s going affect your dental health in many ways and of course your smile.
If it happens to be one of your front teeth this may affect areas of your speech, in many everyday situations you may feel rather self-conscious and want to hide what would normally be a warm confident smile, that portrays that you are happy and relaxed with your appearance.
After all, a truly genuine smile makes everyone feel good and shows the world we are happy within ourselves…
If you have lost your back teeth (molars), this may affect your ability to chew your food properly, we all love good food and of we can’t sit down to enjoy our favorite foods it can take away one of our basic everyday pleasures in life.
In addition, if one or more teeth are missing this may cause the other existing teeth migrate and drift in other directions leading to even more additional dental health problems and or the worsening of existing conditions. This can occur even in the absence of single tooth.
However, the good news is modern dentistry can offer many options to replace your lost teeth and restore your dental health and confidence. Out of the many procedures, you may be aware of some of the following treatments:
- Removable dentures (complete or partial)
- Fixed replacements,
- Porcelain bridges
- Dental implants to suit your varied needs
Let’s take a look a number of these procedures in greater detail as it may help you to discover the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment and act as a guide to what course of treatment could be right for you.
Removable Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures can get support from the existing bones and gums. One advantage is the cost of the treatment as in some cases it can be quite affordable. The downside side is they can be bulky and sometimes rather heavy.
Due to this fact they can therefore interfere or directly affect your speech in general. Also, you may find your ability to chew and enjoy your food properly may be hindered.
A Complete Set Of Dentures (removable)
A complete set of removable dentures can replace a number or all your teeth both upper and lower. However please bear in mind in many cases they may need to be replaced after a few years due to bones and gum recession and resorption. The reason for this is gums tend to shrink as they heal and this can make the complete denture as a whole loose fitting. When a set of dentures are loose it can again cause problems with chewing and speech and eventually, this can cause bone loss, the bones which in turn can later become completely flat. The reason for this is because naturally the bones and gums reabsorb the loss of a tooth almost immediately.
That’s why after you lose a tooth it’s necessary to have a bone graft on the bone socket should be performed immediately in order to grow some additional bone structure. So it’s important to highlight that If you have lost one tooth on the upper arch, and it is not restored immediately, the opposing tooth it in the lower arch will have a tendency to grow elongated as there’s no opposing upper tooth to stop it from doing so.
We have to understand that teeth are continuously moving in the dental arches and for this reason, the best course of action is to restore the lost tooth or teeth as soon as possible, in order to prevent further complications in the future.
Fixed Bridge
A fixed bridge is cemented to your natural teeth (post or abutment) and has to be carved out to create space for artificial teeth to be cemented in place. The number of posts or abutments will depend on the number of missing teeth that need to be replaced.
Once the fixed bridge is in place it is important to note that proper dental hygiene and cleanliness habits have to be performed in order so the abutments don’t fit some in cavities from the consumption of food and drink.
Also in some cases, the abutments would need in addition root canal treatment if they develop cavities and becomes painful.
Eventually, over time the bridges will need to be replaced because as already discussed the bones and gums will still continue to recede and reabsorb immediately after the tooth or teeth have been lost. As the replacement teeth and also the bridge (along with the other types of dentures) just lie on top of your gums and bones that have already receded will continue to shrink more.
Dental Implants
In modern times with the advancements in dental technology, it is widely thought that dental implants really are the best possible option available for teeth that have been lost, as they not only replace the teeth that have been lost but also the bones.
The dental implant industry has continued to evolve over recent years and continues to do so, to the point where it now provides patients with the best and most permanent solution to missing teeth and dental issues.
The reasons for this are very clear and that’s why nowadays it’s the most logical choice for those who wish to lead normal lives with excellent dental health.
Why are dental implants the best possible cause of treatment? Well, the list is endless, however, let’s cover a number of the advantages and health benefits.
In the first instance, dental implants are incredibly strong and durable, while alleviating the vast number of dental issues due to missing teeth or dental problems we have covered so far. Also, they can replace one tooth, several teeth and even full teeth of teeth in upper and lower arch.
In the first instance the treatment consists of placing a titanium implant root into the jawbone and in general, the initial healing period for this part of the procedure tends to be about 2 to 6 months. From there the artificial tooth (or teeth) is placed into the titanium implant root
Naturally, the costs involved with dental implant treatment can vary considerably as one has to take into consideration the current state of a patients dental health and potentially what course of treatment (if any) may be required before the implants procedure can take place.
Also, a number of other factors need to be taken into consideration related to the overall costs of dental implants, as there is an ever-growing number of materials and technologies that can be used for your new teeth.
The great news is you can choose from a wealth of options in order to weigh up each of their advantages and costs involved with the completed procedure.
One thing we can say with confidence is that after specializing for many years in the field of dental implants you like all our patients will find your dental health is restored along with a new sense of self-confidence, and of course let’s not forget that winning smile!
