Questions And Answers About Dental Implants
As dental implants become very popular in aesthetic dentistry, there are many questions about them.
We ask the questions, and professional implantologist Dr Valdas Labanauskas provides the answers.
What are dental implants?
Implants are devices that replace the roots of missing teeth, and are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are placed in your jawbone surgically. Most of the time, implants feel more natural and secure than other methods of replacing missing teeth, such as dentures.
Why might you need one?
Bone loss, gum disease, an infection can make teeth get looser. In later life, the primary reason is bone loss.
Is the implantation procedure painful?
Since dental implants are usually inserted under local anesthesia, you should not feel anything during the procedure. If you do feel any discomfort after implant placement, your doctor can provide you with solutions.
Do dental implants ever fail?
Dental implant treatment is one of the most successful procedures in the medical/dental field, with documented success rates over 95%. Although successful treatment is very predictable, there are rare occasions where the bone does not completely bond to the implants. When this occurs, new implants are placed. Smoking or putting too much pressure on newly placed implants, as with excessive grinding of the teeth, can cause problems with the bone bonding to the implants, and should be avoided.
How long does it take?
To complete treatment can take from 4 to 6 months and in some cases, longer. It should be understood that this procedure is advanced and can be a longer process than usual to assure it's success.
Are there age restrictions for receiving implants?
In principle, dental implants are suited for adult patients of almost any age. Implants are not for use on children and growing adolescents, as implants would interfere with growth of the jaw.
How many teeth can be replaced by implants?
One, two or all teeth. For instance, a person that wears dentures can have 10 implants placed in the upper jaw and 8-10 implants in the lower jaw. Porcelain fixed teeth similar to the natural teeth can be fixed on these implants. There is nothing in dentistry that resembles and feels as natural as implant supported porcelain teeth.
How strong will my dental implant be?
After your dental implant has been placed and it has fused to the bone, your dental implant will function and feel like your natural teeth. In fact, many people find that their dental implants are not only as strong as their natural teeth, but are stronger than their other teeth.
How long do implants last?
Long-term studies of implants have shown that implants can last as long as 20 - 25 years. Your own personal success will be influenced by factors related to your general health (including smoking, grinding, and oral hygiene). With an evaluation prior to treatment, the probability of success is high.
How much does implant treatment cost?
Since each patient has different needs and priorities, dental implant treatments and the corresponding costs differ as well. You should receive a cost estimate from your dentist when he/she decides what treatment is right for you. Some of the factors that influence the costs are: The number of implants needed. The type of replacement teeth desired. Additional procedures that may be necessary to enhance the look and feel of your facial expressions. It is important to consider long-term versus short-term costs when making a decision about tooth replacement. Dental implant treatment may be a larger initial investment, but it is frequently a more cost-effective solution in the long term.
When can I return to work after implant surgery?
You can go to work the next day, unless some particular surgical circumstance arises. Your implant dentist will discuss all postoperative instructions with you.
How will dental implants improve my life?
Dental implants provide a more stable and natural feeling than loose dentures. You will be able to eat virtually any food with ease, comfort, and confidence. you will notice an improvement in your appearance, and possibly, in your speech. Many patients find these improvements enhance their self-image and self-confidence.

Quick Review of Dental Implants
Dental implants are gradually replacing bridges, dentures, and crowns because they are more secure and look more natural than those alternatives, and spare their wearers from having to use messy adhesives and be regularly refitted like bridges and dentures may.
Anyone who has lost some teeth is at risk for having the jawbone where the natural teeth were situated begin to erode, and that erosion can become so serious that it may require a bone graft to make the jawbone dense enough to withstand the insertion of the dental implant rod.
Types Of Dental Implants
The most commonly used type of dental implant is the root-form implant, which fuses a small titanium rod within the jawbone, and when the patient has recovered from that procedure, has a collar-like extension attached to the rod. This extension will be the base to which the actual prosthetic ceramic tooth is attached.
All successful dental implants rely on a process known as osseintegration, during which the inert titanium rod bonds with the jawbone. Titanium replaced the steel used in very early dental implants because, unlike steel, titanium does not trigger the rejection response in the human body. Root-form dental implants have been in use for over four decades, but now there are also Ramus frame, blade form, and subperiosteal dental implants and many different dental implant manufacturers.
Success Rates Of Dental Implants
The number of dental implant surgeries performed in America each year has
been rising steadily since the American Dental Association gave them it nod of approval in the mid-1980s, and the estimates are that now there are between there and four hundred thousand dental implant procedures in the US every year.
The overall success rate for all root-form dental implants is right around 90%, but the success rate for implants done to replace molars is about 85% while that of dental implants replacing front teeth is closer to 95%. The extra stress placed on implanted molars from chewing undoubtedly ahs something to do with their lower (but still remarkably good) success.
If a dental implant is going to fail, the odds are overwhelming that it will fail in the first twelve months of use. Only one in every one hundred dental implants fails after that.
Costs Of Dental Implants
You can expect to pay more for a dental implant than you would for a bridge, with dental implants ranging in price from a thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars. The wide variance in prices will depend on the complexity of the implant procedure, with implants which require bone grafts being the most expensive. Dental implants are seldom covered by dental insurance, but you may be covered if you need a dental implant as the result of an accident.
