What are Dental Implants?

• A dental implant is a screw like anchor that is
  used as an artificial replacement for natural
  tooth roots. Made of materials that are
  compatible with the human body, such as titanium,
  implants have been used for decades in upper and
  lower jaws. By attaching to the jawbone and gum
  tissue, they provide a stable base for artificial
  replacement teeth, such as dental crowns, bridges
  and dentures.

• Dental implants can be used to replace a single
  tooth or several teeth, or to support partial or
  full dentures. Implants and crowns remain inside
  the mouth and do not require any adhesives to
  hold them in place.

Dental Implant Procedure

• Dental implant treatment generally takes several
  months and follows a three-step process.
• Step 1
• Your Smile approved dentist places the implant
  into the jaw then inserts a screw to prevent
  debris from entering. It will take 3 to 6 months
  for the implant to fuse with the jawbone, during
  which time the gum is secured over the implant.

• Step 2
• Upon returning to the dentist, the implant is
  uncovered and an extension called a post is
  attached. Once the gum tissue has healed around
  the post, the implant and post act as the
  foundation for the new tooth.
• Step 3
• Finally, the dentist makes a crown that best
  suits your natural teeth, considering factors
  including size, shape and color. Once completed,
  the crown is attached to the implant post and you
  can enjoy your beautiful new smile!

Types of Dental Implants

• There are 3 different types of dental implants.
  Depending on your individual circumstances, your
  Smile approved dental professional will decide
  which kind is best suited to you.
• Endosseous Implants
• Cylinder or screw-shaped, endosseous implants
  are made of metal, ceramic or ceramic-coated
  metal and are placed within the jawbone.

• Subperiosteal Implants
• Subperiosteal implants consist of a metal
  framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but
  underneath the gum tissue.
• Transosteal Implants
• Transosteal implants are either a metal pin or
  a u-shaped frame that passes through the jawbone
  and the gum tissue into the mouth.

What is the Recovery Time for Dental Implants?

• The recovery time for dental implants is
  dependent on the patient, and it differs from one
  individual to another.
• Depending on your circumstances, the downtime
  could be a couple of days or a couple of weeks.
• On average, it takes just a couple of days to
  feel back to normal. The complete healing of your
  jawbone and gum tissue takes approximately 3-6
  months.

Are Dental Implants Safe?

• Dental implants have proven to be a safe and
  effective solution for replacing teeth for over
  30 years. Made from materials that work well with
  the human body, dental implants serve as a strong
  and safe foundation for replacement teeth.

Any Risks, Side Effects or Pain Involved?

• Any risks and side effects are rare and easily
  treated. These can include
• Infection
• Injury or damage to other teeth or blood vessels
• Nerve damage
• Sinus problems if upper-jaw implants protrude
  into sinus cavities.
• Although uncommon and usually minor, it is
  important to contact your Smile-approved dentist
  if you experience any of these side effects.
• Once healed, dental implants should be painless
  and comfortable. Immediately after surgery,
  however, discomfort and mild pain is expected to
  last up to a week. Your dentist may prescribe you
  something for the pain and to avoid infection
  otherwise, over-the-counter painkillers can help
  to manage the pain.
