Implant
Dentistry and Dental
Implants
A
dental
implant Thailand
is a small titanium
screw-like fixture that
serves as the replacement
for the root portion
of a missing natural
tooth. The dental
implant Thailand
is placed in the bone
of the upper or lower
jaw. After the placement,
the implant has to fuse
with the bone (titanium
is one of the best materials
to integrate with natural
bone) which can take
a couple of weeks. Treatment
time will vary depending
on your situation. It
is possible to get well
functioning and esthetic
looking teeth within
a few days. In some
cases it may be necessary
to wait a longer time
period before finishing
the restoration in order
to obtain the best results.
Dental
implants can be
used to replace a single
lost tooth or a number.
Implant supported replacement
teeth look, feel and
function like natural
teeth, they preserve
the integrity of a facial
structure and improve
the look and function
of a jaw. Once the screw-like
fixture is safe, a dentist
will screw in an actual
dental
implant that is
made to look and replace
natural tooth.
Basically anyone who
is missing one or more
of their teeth due to
injury, disease, or
decay may be a candidate
for dental implants.
Sometimes if there’s
a number of teeth missing
dental
implants in conjunction
with a crown or bridge
can replace them. The
rule of thumb is that
if you’re healthy enough
to have a tooth extracted,
you’re probably healthy
enough to receive dental
implants.
Anesthesia
and patient sedation
are used to eliminate
any discomfort at
the time of the procedure
so there is virtually
no pain during the
process of implant
insertion. There may
be some discomfort
after the procedure
but this is usually
minimal and can be
significantly reduced
– or eliminated –
with a help of painkillers.
If
you decide to go ahead
with the implants you
should know that advantages
of using dental
implants for replacing
missing teeth are the
following:
|
-
First of all, bone
loss is stopped when
implants are placed
and they can’t be
damaged by decay.
-
The success rate is
quite high. Dental
implant are bio-compatible;
they are made out
of titanium that fuses
with bone, naturally.
Implants can stabilize
dentures as well and
it’s almost impossible
to damage them.
-
Implants can improve
facial appearance
as well as dental
function such as biting
and chewing.

Explanation
of dental
implants.
|
Natural
teeth.
Our
teeth are not only
essential for life
as chewing tools,
but they are also
an important element
of our harmonious
facial expression,
and thus of our personal
charisma. Distinct,
unmistakable facial
expressions and untroubled
laughter are determined
to a great extent
by the appearance
of the teeth. Healthy
and cared-for teeth
are a vital requirement
for our aesthetic
appearance and clear
enunciation. No matter
what we do, the condition
of our teeth is a
meaningful visiting
card, by which we
and our life circumstances
are judged , whether
we like it or not!
Tooth
loss –what can be
done?
In
the course of life,
teeth can be lost
because of caries,
gum disease , or accidents.
A missing tooth can
become noticeable
functionally and aesthetically,
so that our eating
habits and our outward
appearance are impaired.
We would like to have
a dental replacement,
which is an inconspicuous
as possible, and which
should correspond
completely to the
natural model in function
and appearance.
Conventional methods
–and their disadvantages.
Natural
teeth can be replaced
by bridges or dentures.
For bridges, healthy
dental enamel as to
be sacrificed by grinding
the adjacent teeth.
The gap in the row
of teeth is closed
by an intermediate
element; however,
the lost dental root
is not replaced, which
has consequences for
the jawbone, because
this will “atrophy”
with time –it lacks
the pressure from
chewing transmitted
by the root, which
normally stimulates
it to constant regeneration.
Dentures lead for
the same reason to
a disappearance of
the bone mass –an
inescapable atrophy
, and the denture
has to be constantly
corrected. The result
is a denture, which
often fits poorly
and this impairs many
who wear dentures
greatly in their quality
of life; in the extreme
case, this can go
so far that they generally
avoid social contact.

Dental
implants –a “natural”
solution.
Dental implants
are the effective
replacement for lost
teeth. As anchors
in the jawbone, dental
implants form a stable
foundation for permanent
attachment of the
crown; grinding of
adjacent teeth does
not take place, and
loss of bone tissue
by atrophy is prevented,
since implants, as
“artificial dental
roots”, transmit the
chewing forces into
the jawbone. A single
implant as root substitute
is the most elegant
way of achieving a
cosmetically ideal
closure of the gap.
In completely edentulous
jaws, dental
implants
are a secure fixation
method for removable
full dentures and
so spare the patients
the usual disadvantages
of conventional “false
teeth”.
How does
a dental
implant work?
The
dental implant is
a screw-shaped buttress,
which replaces the
natural dental root.
The implant is inserted
in the jawbone,
where it will be
firmly embedded
by the bone after
an average of 6-8
weeks. During this
healing phase, dental
implants are usually
not covered by soft
tissue, so a further
surgical procedure
is not required
when the crown is
attached.
Dental
implants
are made from commercially
pure titanium. This
material is integrated
without complications
by the body’s tissues,
no allergical rejection
reactions occur. Firm
anchorage in the bone
and harmonious adaptation
of the gum margin
to the implant body
result in a solid
foundation for reliable
and long-lasting dental
substitution.
What conditions
must be met for
implantation?
Basic
requirements for
implantation are
an adequate bone
supply with regard
to quality and volume,
good oral hygiene,
and normal wound
healing capacity.
Before implantation,
the natural teeth
are rehabilitated,
and any gum disease
is treated and eliminated.
Important guarantees
of long-term successful
implantation are
conscientious oral
hygiene and regular
check-ups with the
dentist.
What costs
can be expected?
Since
every implantation
represents a completely
individual problem
solution tailored
to the special requirements
of each single case,
it is not possible
to give general
guidelines concerning
costs. Our implantologists
will draw up a personal
treatment and cost
plan.
A highly
elegant method.
Several
patients world-wide
can already report
on the benefits
of implant-supported
tooth replacement.
Implants are increasingly
recognized as acknowledged
beneficial alternatives
to the more conservative
methods of tooth
replacement with
their described
disadvantages. With
conscientious care
–which you are used
to for your natural
teeth for a long
time –Dental implants
will give you the
best functional
and aesthetic service
for many years.
The gain in personal
quality of life
is considerable.
Dental implants
have been in use
for over 20 years
on a scientific
basis , and they
have been subject
to the strictest
quality controls
in research, development,
manufacture , and
sales from the start.
A lifestyle improvement.
Restoring
naturally beautiful,
confident smiles
means more than
just restoring teeth,
it means restoring
and improving your
quality of life.
With dental implants,
chewing and speech
are restored or
improved, and a
permanent natural
appearance is achieved.
Whether you are
missing one or all
of your teeth, implants
allow you to enjoy
your favorite foods
and have the confidence
you desire for an
active professional
and social life.
