When it comes to dental terms it is\nimportant to understand what is meant by the term dental implant. Simply put\nthe procedure involves replacing an existing tooth and root with a metal post\ntopped with an artificial crown. This procedure can\nfall into two categories, delayed implant or immediate dental implant\nplacement Marylebone<\/a>. Delayed is when the new post is left to heal within\nthe jawbone and then the tooth is inserted after a specified time has elapsed.\nImmediate is when the new post and tooth are inserted immediately after the\noriginal tooth has been removed. David Madruga<\/strong> provides both categories\ndepending on a patient\u2019s suitability for either of these treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can anyone have it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not all made equal and because we\nare all different an individual approach is required when considering any\ntreatment, especially dental. There are many things that a dentist has to\nconsider when deciding on a patient\u2019s suitability for implant treatment. Some\npeople have thinner gums, others have an uneven gum line. Patients who smoke or\nwho have underlying health conditions may require bone grafting. It may be\nbetter for these patients to rather consider the delayed dental implant option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implant procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dental team will conduct a thorough\nexamination of a patient\u2019s mouth, teeth, gums and jawbone by X-ray and a\ncomplete 3D scan. Modern technology allows our dentist to calculate exactly\nwhere the new tooth is going to be fixed. It is vitally important to get the\nlocation precisely in the right place. If it is necessary to remove a decayed\nor broken tooth our dentist will apply local anaesthetic and remove the tooth\nand root. If the tooth is already missing our dentist will make an incision in\nthe gum and drill into the jawbone to the desired depth. A titanium post is\nthen screwed into the bone which replaces the root of the original tooth. An\nabutment is then fixed to the top of the post, this is the same colour as the\ntooth or crown which will be fitted onto the abutment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the advantages of immediate as opposed to delayed implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a full assessment of the results of\nthe examination and data has been concluded, the patient is advised as to the\nmost advantageous course of treatment. It is at this stage that a patient will\nbe advised if immediate\ndental implant placement Marylebone<\/strong> treatment is the\ncorrect route to take. If this treatment is recommended there is no need for a\npatient to have to wear a partial or full denture during the healing process.\nThere are also fewer dental return visits required and because the abutment is\nplaced at the time of the surgery there are no sutures that require later\nremoval. All of this saves the patient time and is particularly useful if it’s\na front tooth that requires treatment and a big event, like a wedding is\nimminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant aftercare<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With immediate dental implant placement Marylebone<\/strong> it is recommended that aftercare should be no different than caring for original teeth, we advise that a softer bristle brush is better. The normal twice daily brushing and flossing regime with regular six monthly dental visits will ensure that the implants and natural teeth will stay healthy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
