Who Needs Dental Implant Surgery? It can be easily concluded that everyone with a missing tooth needs a dental implant, this might not be so. Dentists have provided some class of persons who should be in the front line of those who should go through this process. These classes of people include: • A person who have lost one or more teeth • Anyone who has a tooth that is damaged • A good bone structure to enhance the successful conduct of the implant. • A good condition that is medically ascertained All these are important because the absence of any can mean such a person is not right to undergo the dental implant process. It is also vital that you ensure you have good oral hygiene and your health is in check before going in for an implant. What to Expect From the Dental Implant The first vital thing to note is that the dental implant is unlike other surgeries. This is because it is a long process that sometimes takes a whole lot of time primarily because it happens in different stages. So if for example, you have a damaged tooth, the first thing the dentist will have to do is to identify the damage, before going on to remove the tooth. To ensure that you do not feel the pain that comes with it, you'd be given anesthesia. When this is done, a certain amount of bone is removed from another part of your body and grafted to your jaw bone in cases where the jaw bone is lacking enough bone for the implant. This will take a while because the jawbone will need to heal. Then, you'd have the new metal tooth placed on the grafted jaw bone and go through the healing process that takes a whole lot of time.Call to schedule an appointment at 832-430-1406
