What is a Dental Implant?

What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a tiny post or rod made of titanium inserted into the jawbone where the missing tooth was. It is given time to heal, stimulating bone growth around it, which will secure it into place. Once healed, an abutment and a dental crown will be placed on the implant to act as your new tooth.
Patients like dental implants because they are a hassle-free way to replace a missing tooth. The implant will be protected by a crown, which you can brush and floss during the daily oral hygiene care of your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are long-lasting, look and feel natural, and are durable. They have a very high success rate and are more comfortable than traditional dentures. The following are some of the more popular benefits of dental implants:
Dental crown stays secured onto the implant, removing any worry that it could shift while eating.
Dental crowns are made with porcelain, a durable material and looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Easier to care for than dental bridges or dentures.
Dental Implant Surgery Guidelines
Candidates for Dental Implants
Patients who desire dental implants must have good oral health for implants to be successful. That’s why our team at Carina Gardens Dental will do a full dental exam and screening to ensure this will be the right solution for your situation. The following are some guidelines for dental implant surgery:
A healthy jawbone
Must be available so that we can place the implant, which will then heal around the implant to secure it into place. If you have a bit of jawbone loss, we may be able to do a bone graft, which is a minor procedure to build up the bone. Once it heals, we can move forward with the implant.
Healthy gums
Are required to promote healing after the surgery and to support your new prosthesis. We can treat gum disease for most patients, which can potentially save your remaining teeth and create a healthy environment for a dental implant.
Bruxism or teeth grinding
Is not good for dental implants as it can loosen them and cause problems. If you grind your teeth, we may be able to help with customised dental guards or other treatments.
Consistent oral hygiene
Will be required during and after the dental implant process. This is the best way to avoid any complications that may arise and will ensure your implant and crown last as long as possible.
Your dentist will review specific oral health techniques to help you achieve this.

Dental Implants for Dentures and Bridges
Dental implants are the most popular way to replace a missing tooth with a permanent solution that will also replace the tooth root to prevent jawbone deterioration. But if you have multiple missing teeth or a row of missing teeth, bridges and dentures may be secured and supported with dental implants.
Dental implant-supported bridges can replace a few missing teeth in a row, which many patients prefer over traditional-style bridges. They are secured into place and can be cleaned without removal. Dentures can also be supported on implants. They are a preferred choice over traditional dentures because they don’t slide around to irritate the gums and cause the problems generally associated with dentures. Both solutions can help preserve your jawbone and facial structure, which can have an anti-aging effect.
Risks and Recovery
Dental implants are a long-term option for replacing missing teeth, but they involve surgery and carry specific risks and recovery considerations.
Possible risks include:
- Swelling, bruising or discomfort after surgery
- Minor bleeding during the initial healing period
- Infection at the implant site, though uncommon
- Risk of implant failure if integration with the bone does not occur
- Nerve injury or sinus involvement, depending on implant placement
Recovery considerations:
- Initial healing generally takes one to two weeks
- Osseointegration, where the implant fuses with bone, can take several months
- A soft diet is often recommended during early healing
- Regular reviews and good oral hygiene are important for long-term success

The dental implant procedure is a minor surgery and is considered very low risk. Our team is careful to perform a full exam and evaluation to ensure you are a candidate for dental implants, which improves the implant success rate while greatly lessening any risk for complications.
