New Dental Implant Technologies

When you have to have a tooth pulled, you might worry about the overall state of your oral health and how the extraction will impact your remaining teeth. With dental implants, an extraction can cause as little disruption to your life as possible! These dental devices help patients with the structural integrity of their mouth and jaw as well as their ability to chew, speak, and swallow normally. And with the latest in dental implant technology, the dental implant procedure has become easier than ever.

The dental implant procedure consists of dentist placing a dental implant – a metal rod, essentially – into an empty tooth socket. The rod then fuses with the jawbone over a period of time and becomes as functional as a natural tooth. One of the main drawbacks to these otherwise great tooth replacement option has been the recovery time necessary as well as the fact that each tooth to be replaced needs its own implant.

New implants coated with nano-structured titanium have proven helpful in reducing recovery time as well as the possibility of infection at the implantation site. These new implants make the process easier than ever before, in other words, and allow patients to move on with their life – and their new teeth – as quickly as possible. Additionally, patients who find themselves needing a large number of teeth extracted might consider the All on Four dental implant denture system, where four implants are used to provide support to dentures that are placed over them. This method of implantation allows patients to reduce the number of procedures they experience while still providing natural function and appearance.
