Dental Implants

(Will be updated soon, God willing)

Dental implantation is one of the latest methods used in the world of dentistry to compensate the missed teeth for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes. It is better than dental bridges or other solutions such as dental dentures and others. It provides the patient with fixed, non-removable teeth. The jaw and tooth surgeon relies on the installation of titanium implants inside the jaw's bone to the bottom of the gum, so that the teeth can be attached to the implants. The patient can reuse all his teeth again and distribute pressure on the entire jaw during chewing.

Dental implants take approximately 3 to 6 months, with 7 visits to the jaw and dental surgeon.

Teeth implants have several benefits, includes:

• Easy chewing without feeling pain or movement of teeth as in other techniques.
• No need to make changes to the teeth adjacent to the plantations, which maintains the health of the mouth and teeth in general.
• Improve the appearance of mouth and face in general, especially when smiling as a result of the installation of teeth very similar to natural teeth, which enhances self-confidence and gives a feeling of greater happiness.
• Durability and length of time in which implants can withstand inside the mouth, it is possible that these implants accompany the person throughout his life.
• The default age of the implants is long.

Before initiating in teeth implantation the patient is asked to do the following:

• Disease record.
• X-rays for teeth and jaw.
• 3D or panorama photo for teeth and jaw.

Despite of the very high rates recorded by dental implants, they may sometimes fail due to some complications or problems during or after implantation, including:

• Inflammation of the area surrounding the implants is associated with pain, swelling and sometimes the implant is removed from its place.
• Hotness of the bone during the process of implantation, which causes the death of cells in the bone and therefore the inability of implants to stabilize within the bone.
• Near the implants of the sinuses, this leads to implantation in the vicinity of mucus and therefore instability and removing.
• Neuropathy, which causes permanent irritation and therefore the body may attack the implants and reject them, which is usually accompanied by a sense of numbness and tingling in the gums and lips.
• Bleeding and swelling lasts more than 3 days.

The steps of dental implantation include the following:

1. In the first visit, the oral and dental surgeon shall examine the patient's jaw and evaluate the location and number of implants in the gums, in addition to conducting examinations to accurately detect the condition and work out a plan for the patient indicating the timing of implants.

1. Install the implants in the jaw bone, waiting for approximately 3 months to give the opportunity to integrate the implant through the bone tissue.

1. In the second visit after about 3 months to 6 months, the jaw and teeth surgeon wounds the gums and puts the stent on the implants.

1. The third visit may be divided into 3 consecutive visits, including taking measurements, rehearsal and then final installation of the implants.

* In some cases, the patient needs bone graft in the jaw as a result of dissolving. Therefore, bone installation may take 4 months and then start dental implants, i.e., about 8 months until the final stage of dental implantation is achieved.

*The implantation process takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the number of implants.

After the completion of long dental implants sessions, the patient feels comfortable after suffering from the lack of teeth for a not- short period of time, where he can use the new teeth naturally in chewing, in addition to a positive reflection on the psyche of the patient to feel more confident as a result of improved overall appearance of the face.

         The patient may feel pain and swelling during the first few days of dental implants, but it can be controlled by taking some painkillers, and that is a natural thing that gradually disappears.

          The most important tips that the patient may take with him from the jaw and tooth surgeon are the continuous maintenance of the cleanliness of the teeth by continuous rinsing with antibacterial mouth wash; to protect the teeth from damage, in addition to using a dental floss to remove the remnants of food after almost every meal helps to maintain the implants for longer time.
