Inserting dental implants is easy and usually a completely painless experience. If you are worried about inserting the implants, you can get a sedative, but in most cases only local anesthesia is needed.
Implants are screws made of titanium and a dental crown made of ceramic. The screws are operated into the jawbone and act as a tooth root. The body does not repel titanium and it has a unique ability to quickly grow into the jawbone. Implants are a good solution for persons who have lost one or more teeth. Another advantage of implants is that you avoid attaching bridges to healthy teeth and thus strain them.
The implant treatment consists of two steps. First you start with the operation part where the implant specialist operates on the titanium screw in the jawbone. The second step is the prosthetic part when the implant crown is attached to the screw.
To avoid inflammation and loosening of implants, good oral hygiene must be maintained. Therefore, regular check-ups of the implant are important at the dentist / dental hygienist.
