Cosmetic dentist, London and all over U.K. are finding that many people are enquiring about dental implants and teeth implants. Dental implants or teeth implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. If you are considering dental implants or teeth implants the following factors are very important.
1) Medical Health and Dental Implants
Before dental implants or teeth implants can be placed you must be of good medical health. For e.g. if you are diabetic and this was not controlled the healing of dental implants could be affected.
2) Space and teeth Implants
There must be enough space in the jaw area in order for dental implants or teeth implants to be placed.
3) Bone levels and dental implants
There must be enough bone depth and width for implants to integrate well. If there is not enough bone, bone can be added by a bone graft. Bone grafts take 3-6 months to heal and then dental implants or teeth implants can be placed.
4) Oral hygiene and teeth implants
Your oral hygiene must be in perfect order for dental implants to succeed long term. Seeing the dental hygienist is very important in the long term success of dental implants.
5) Smoking and dental implants
Smoking will significantly reduce the long term success of dental implants or teeth implants.
6) Rejection or infection dental implants
On rare occasions your body can reject dental implants. This usually happens in the first three months. If after many years your dental implant fails this could be due to infection around the dental implant. Just like you can get infection around a tooth. Teeth implants can also get infected.
7) Time and dental implants
You must be prepared to wait 3-6 months for dental implants or teeth implants treatment to be completed. Then the dental implants can be restored with a dental crown, bridge or cosmetic dentures.
8) Success of dental implants
The success rate of teeth implants are about 90% over a 15 year period. Therefore dental implants are a good way to replace teeth.
9) Cost of teeth implants
The cost of dental implants can vary but are not the cheapest way to replace teeth. However, the cost of teeth implants reflect the quality and function that teeth implants can give you.
