Many people will lose their teeth for one reason or another, whether it be from trauma, fracture, decay, infection, etc… One way to replace a missing tooth, or several missing teeth, is with dental implants.
Generally speaking, most people regardless of age, who are generally in good health, and have relatively healthy gum and bone tissue, can be considered candidates for dental implants
It is important to remember that after a tooth has been missing, the surrounding bone tends to resorb, or shrink.
Implants require sufficient bone for support. Some patients may require bone augmentation procedures, or other procedures such as sinus lifts prior to implant placement.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a fixture which replaces the tooth’s natural root and anchors the artificial tooth to the jaw bone. Most implants are made of a biocompatible titanium alloy and are shaped somewhat like a screw. It is surgically placed into the jawbone and a crown is later attached to the implant.
Where can you get this procedure done?
Many general dentists have the experience and training to place dental implants. Some dental specialists also perform dental implant surgeries, such as periodontists, oral surgeons, and prosthodontists.
How dental implants are placed
• After careful examination of your mouth, xrays of the affected area, your dentist will discuss your options, and whether you are a good candidate for the procedure. Some dentists will want to see a more detailed xray called a Cone Beam Computerized Tomogram, or CBCT for short. This will help them with several surgical considerations, such as the position and size of implants, location of important anatomical structures, distance between adjacent teeth, ect….
The implant placement surgery to replace a single tooth is typically fairly straightforward. A small incision is typically made in the gum, and a series of drills are used for the osteotomy, which is a technical word for “hole in the bone”. The titanium implant itself is then physically threaded into place not unlike a screw.
Following successful surgery for single dental implants, most patients experience little to no pain or discomfort. However, if the surgery was more involved or difficult, or several implants were placed, or other procedures such as sinus lift or bone augmentation was performed, more inflammation and discomfort can be expected.
After any surgery, there is a risk of infection and swelling. It is recommended that you talk to your dentist about the other possible risks you may have for your particular case.
Osseointegration can be defined as a kind of fusion of the bone to the titanium implant, whereby new bone is laid down directly on the implant surface. This process significantly enhances mechanical stability and long term success.
Sometimes a secondary surgery is required to uncover the implant, if the gum tissue has grown overtop of the implant.
Finally, an impression or mould of the teeth and implant position is made, and a crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory, typically out of porcelain, or zirconia, or porcelain fused to metal. This crown is then attached to the implant itself wither with a screw or cemented onto a screw-retained abutment. In the case of multiple missing teeth, an implant supported bridge or denture may be fabricated and supported by two or more implants.
Caring for your implant
Consistent daily dental hygiene at home is essential for the maintenance of your teeth, gums, and implants. Devices such as waterpiks and electric toothbrushes can help achieve optimal home care. Regular visits to your dentist for checkups and cleanings are also important.
Unlike your natural teeth, dental implants cannot develop decay. They can however still fail. Examples of causes of implant failure are occlusal trauma, which means your bite forces on the implant are too heavy, or other types of trauma. Infection, or inflammation of the bone and gums surrounding the implant can also lead to bone loss and the eventual failure of the implant. This is sometimes referred to as Peri-Implantitis.

Thank You
Most insurance companies will not cover the $4000+ per tooth for an implant and tooth, they will pay for the alternate cheaper benefit only, which is a denture or bridge. Make sure to get a pre-determination of benefits from your insurance company before getting anything over $200 done.
Seven years ago i had 2 implants and love them! BUT even thought i flossed in the morning and after eating brushing morning and night and going to the dentist every six months I STILL LOST ONE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO! i have severe bone lost so much that the tooth just fell out! he wants to do bone grafting but after spending 10 thousand on 2 teeth i dont think im going to!

Sir plz replay

Can 1 dental implant support 2 teeth as in 1 implant placed where one inciser was and the crown with 2 teeth joined is placed on the implant with 1 of the teeth fixed to the implant the other hanging over relying on the other for support?
No, im not a dentist but i say no is because if you bite down from the top teeth that will bite and hit the bottom tooth without support sooner or later that tooth will sag and pull the implant down with it. Its better if you got a bridge.
How much full dental implants
If you have to ask how much then i dont think you can afford it, just go to asia get it cheap there.
No- there is a liquid that is placed in your mouth, hardens, a screw is inserted and then a crown. This IS a old dated info!
