Different Types of Dental Implants its Basics

When there is a need of strong tooth root to recover the space between two teeth or to set up an artificial tooth and if natural root is damaged somehow, it is necessary to go for dental implants where artificial root is created by dentists for support. In different cases of implants, your dentist adopts different options for recovery of the space with the help of artificial tooth. Let’s explore all these cases and options quickly.

Replacing the Root of your tooth with screw:

This dental implant initiates with observing the available space in your jaw where dentists need to set implant. If your jaw is wide enough, he sets the titanium screw shaped implant into the place and covers it with stitches. If jaw bone is narrow, dentists create additional space by grafting the bone. So, this way it creates a strong artificial root for the missing tooth. Recovery is little bit longer and one needs 6 to 8 months of time for complete recovery. Such kind of implant is very common and being used most which gives the appearance like natural teeth.

Implant with Metal Blade:

When grafting is not possible due to limited depth of the jaw bone, dentists place metal shaped blade plate into the root. As it has a flat surface and flexible in length, it fits well with the jaw bone. The healing process is short and can be recovered within 3-6 months. Certain types of blades provide instant restoration and don’t require 3-6 months of time.

Subperiosteal Implants

When there are sequential teeth lost in your jaw and when your jaw bone is also damaged, above explained methods don’t work well for recovery. In such cases, an artificial metal framework is developed by a dentist that gets placed above the jaw and underneath the gum tissues. It is the latest kind of implant introduced in dental history and requires key experience in performing such a kind of treatment for successful results. Same titanium metal is used to create a framework and it provides necessary supports to artificial teeth.

Generally, in case of broken or cracked teeth, dentists may recover it with traditional crown or filling with dental material. In case, when there is no natural root present or damaged in accidents, dental implants are necessary to provide support to artificial tooth. As there is a risk associated with each kind of implants, it is recommended to take treatment from specialist Endodontist only.
