Summary: Dental implants are not by any means cheap, but they are by far and away the best solution for missing teeth. For all practical purposes, they act in the same way as your original tooth did, and in some respects are even better because they cannot suffer damage in the same way as a natural tooth.

A dental implant is a post made from titanium which is inserted into the jawbone just like the root of a tooth. Then a replacement tooth is fitted on top of the post. This is a big improvement over a bridge, because the teeth on either side of the implant are left untouched, whereas with a bridge they have to be cut down to support the bridge, so you actually do damage to two perfectly good teeth.

You can get dental Implants, and they are just so much better than dentures. Dentures can slip and slide about, you have to take them out at night and put them in a cleaning solution, and while they may look like natural teeth they often don't perform nearly as well. Dental implants, on the other hand, will enable you to eat food that you may not have been able to eat for years, such as nuts, because they perform in the same way that your original tooth did.

Not everyone is suitable for dental implants, although most people are. You need to have sufficient jawbone to hold the implant in place. If your jawbone is too thin or too soft, you may require a bone graft. If it is in the upper jaw and there is insufficient bone height or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, you may need a sinus lift.

The process of obtaining a dental implant takes several months. First, the dental surgeon at Dental Clinic will need to take X-rays and moulds of the jaw and teeth to ascertain the amount of bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for the implant. Then the implant itself, which is like a screw, is inserted into the jawbone. After this, there is a period of up to six months during which the jawbone grows tightly to the implant in a process known as osseointegration. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be needed to attach the post which is going to hold the crown into the implant.
