A dental implant, also called tooth implant, is an artificial tooth placed into the jawbone for replacing the root of a tooth. Being made of titanium, they have a strong foundation for your permanent or removable teeth that should blend in with the natural ones. They are a suitable option for people who have lost one or more teeth due to an injury, periodontal disease or other reasons. They are a long-term solution for restoring your lost smile. If you care for the implants and your teeth properly, then they will last for a lifetime.
Dental Implant Procedure
Firstly, the dental specialist will surgically place the implant into the jaw bone. The dental implant will replace the tooth root and need proper time (3 to 6 months for healing). During this healing time, osseointegration takes place where there is a connection between the jawbone and the implant. Some patients may have to wait until the implant is completely integrated into the jawbone. Other patients can have replacement teeth and implants placed in a single visit.
The abutment is positioned to connect the implant and the prosthetic tooth. The abutment is a connection that spans through the gum line so that the implant remains buried. In the case of a dental implant, the abutment has its own recovery period. The gum around the abutment must cure before the crown is placed.
Finally, the implantologist will place the artificial tooth/teeth. In case of a single tooth implant, the implantologist will customize a new tooth, known as a dental crown. The crown will depend on the shape, size and color so that it blends perfectly with your natural teeth. If you’re replacing more than one tooth, there are custom-made bridges or dentures that will fit your mouth and implants. The dentist will require some time to make the artificial teeth. During this time, he may give a temporary bridge, crown or denture so that you can chew and speak normally until the replaced teeth are ready.

BONE GRAFTING
Bone grafting, or bone augmentation, is most often used in restorative dentistry to bulk up and strengthen the jawbone before having teeth implant surgery. Periodontal disease, infection, and trauma can all affect the bone structure, making this procedure necessary. And if you have been missing teeth for some time, your jawbone will start to recede and lose density, making it unfit for implantation.
During jaw bone grafting, natural or synthetic bone material is used to strengthen the existing jaw bone and make implant surgery possible.
SINUS LIFTING
A sinus lift can make the implant placement procedure possible, thus allowing patients with bone loss in their upper jaw to enjoy the benefits for a long-term solution to their missing or failing teeth using dental implants. Sinus lifting is a surgery that adds new bone to your upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. The bone is added between the narrow jaw and the large maxillary sinuses. To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane is gently separated and moved upward, or “lifted.” Bone is then added, in most cases the dental implant can be placed at the same time resulting in an increase in bone volume that anchors the implant.
Sinus lifts have become common during the last 20 years as more people are choosing dental implants to replace missing teeth.
