Discover Permanent Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants

The implants are the permanent solution for missing teeth, with proper care they can provide lifetime durability. Implant durability is dependent upon jawbone health, implant material and dentist surgical expertise. Dentist London has successfully placed thousands of implants with the help of advanced implant technology.

Dental bridges and dentures are also used to replace missing teeth, but dental implants' durability and stability are unbeatable, with proper oral hygiene and regular professional monitoring implants provide a 90 to 98% success rate.

The success rate of dental bridges is less as compared to dental implants. With proper oral hygiene maintenance, it provides a success rate of 80 to 85 %. It affects dental health because it takes support from adjacent teeth and needs to be replaced after 10 years.

What Factors Affect Implant Durability?

Dentures are least durable and stable as compared to dental implants, they do not provide better function and aesthetics. It needs to be replaced and repaired after 5 to 7 years. Some factors can affect dental implant durability such as:

Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is the key to implant treatment success and durability.  Improper oral hygiene can cause infection around the implant, persistent infection can lead to implant failure.

Lifestyle

Healthy lifestyle adaptation such as a healthy diet and avoiding alcohol and smoking can improve osteointegration of the implant with the surrounding jawbone.

Jawbone Density

A healthy jawbone provides better implant durability as compared to resorbed unhealthy bone; the bone graft technique is used to improve implant durability in such conditions.

System Problems

General health also affects implant durability such as metabolic disease (diabetes), hormonal imbalance (osteoporosis) and other bone disorders that can affect implant treatment results.

Implant Placement Technique

Surgical expertise & experience are important for successful implant placement, emergency dentist Lodnon selects specific implant placement techniques and implant materials according to individual dental health and needs.

Quality of Implant Material

Implant quality also affects implant durability, zirconium implant material has remarkable stability, durability and infection resistance.

Aftercare and Regular Monitoring

Patient compliance is important after implant placement such as strictly following dentist advice after implant surgery for better implant healing, regular dental visits are also important to monitor jawbone health.

What Advancement in Implant Technology Improves Implant Durability?

Advanced technology in dental implants improves patients' comfort, better implant stability, rapid healing process and long-term durability. Some advancements in dental implant treatment that you should know before treatment.

Improved Implant Materials

Titanium is the best implant material that provides the most durable results. Titanium alloys and zirconium implant materials are advanced materials that have better corrosion and infection resistance while maintaining better aesthetics in front teeth.

Computer Aid Implant Surgery

With the help of 3D images and a stimulator, advanced technology helps dental surgeons to make treatment plans and evaluate them virtually, then with the help of computer-guided surgery, the dental surgeon places the implant in an accurate position without complications.

Regenerative Technique

This technique is helpful in severe bone resorption conditions. Bone regeneration techniques such as bioactive glass material and synthetic options, platelets-rich plasma and platelets-rich fibrin help in bone regeneration, improve bone healing around the implant and provide strong bone support for durable implant placement.

Surface Modification

In this advanced technique, the surface of the implant is modified with a nano technique in which the implant's outer surface is designed into a nano texture that enhances implant attachment with surrounding bone and implant stability.

The hydrophilic surface technology in which implants out surface is modified into hydrophilic (attract water) that improves the attachment of implants with bone cells and blood and enhances initial stability and osteointegration.

Biomaterials Coating

Bioactive material such as bone morphogenic protein (BMPS) is coated around the implant that faster regenerates bone around the implant with better osteointegration, and reduced chances of delayed healing and infection.

Minimal Invasive Technique

It is an advanced technique in which an implant is placed inside the jawbone without raising the surgical flap and gum surgery. This technique provides patients with comfortable tooth replacement with faster healing than traditional implant surgery.

Improve Abutment Design

An abutment is an important part of restoration prosthesis it helps in the attachment of a crown or bridge with an implant. Advanced abutment designs such as custom abutments, precisely fit with restoration and implant and give a more natural appearance.

Angled abutment is also an advanced implant technique that provides durable results in case of an excessively resorbed jawbone and provides better implant alignment.

What Materials are Used in Dental Implants, are they Safe and Biocompatible?

Dental Implants are completely safe and durable. Minimal risks associated with dental implants such as allergy, infection and implant failure, can be reduced by using proper surgical technique, better implant material and post-operative care. Dental implants are used after regulatory approval and make sure to carefully consider all the safety factors to avoid any harm to oral health.

Titanium and Titanium Alloys

It is a commonly used implant material due to its durability, stability, not leaching any harmful substance and compatibility with oral tissue and bone. Some patients are allergic to metals in these circumstances alternative implant material is used.

Ceramic Implant

Ceramic or zirconium implants are made of zirconium dioxide that have remarkable stability, and durability. It provides excellent aesthetics in front teeth with ideal biocompatibility.

Dental Implants with Bioactive Material Coating

Polymeric Material

The polymeric material is used as a coating on titanium and zirconium implants to improve its integration with soft tissue .it enhances the attachment of implants with soft tissue and prevents peri-implant infection caused by delay in the healing process.it is a biocompatible material and safer for oral health.

Hydroxyapatite Coating

Hydroxyapatite materials is a natural material as calcium appetite in natural bone composition it is used to coat titanium and zirconium implants for faster and stronger attachment of bone with implants.it is highly biocompatible due to its natural composition.

Conclusion

Dental implants are the most durable restoration option for missing teeth with proper oral hygiene it can be maintained for a lifetime. Advanced implant technology improves implant stability, durability, and biocompatibility with a faster healing process around implants.
