Ask a Question
A dental implant is a ‘screw like’ fixture that is placed into the jawbone and acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. The implant is typically made of titanium and is designed to fuse with the jawbone over time, providing a strong and stable base for a replacement tooth or crown. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a dental crown (tooth) is attached to the top of the implant, completing the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, as well as a full set of teeth on implants. They are a popular alternative to dentures and bridges.
One of the most common questions regarding dental implants is about the success rate of the procedure. Dental implants have a very high success rate, with studies showing that they can be successful in more than 95% of cases. However, the success of the procedure can depend on a variety of factors, including the overall health of the patient, the quality of the implant, and the experience of the dentist performing the procedure.
Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, and with proper care and placement they can last for many years, even a lifetime. Here at White Space Dental we follow strict planning and surgical protocols to ensure that your dental implants last as long as possible, it is important to practice good oral hygiene and to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
