Dental Implants

Do Dental Implants require special care?

In the long-term, there are no limitations for a person with dental implants, however there are a few minor restrictions within the first few weeks whilst the bone is healing. Until the bone has entirely healed, it is vital to steer clear of biting hard food and it is recommended that a soft diet be followed for the first few weeks. After this, hard food can be slowly consumed until eventually your diet will be normal. There is no distinctive process for cleaning dental implants, but rather it is recommended that you brush and floss twice a day, as you would regularly. Visits to the dentist are also regular, usually consisting of biannual check-ups and cleaning.

Bridges as opposed Implants: What is Better?

In a multitude of cases, Hollywood Dental Implants & Orthodontics provide noticeable benefits in comparison to traditional dentures or bridgework. Prior to the availability of Dental Implants, missing teeth would be replaced using moulded tooth-supported bridges or detachable dentures.

For bridges to be created, strong, sufficient tooth needs to be ground away by restructuring adjacent teeth, which are used as framework for securing the new bridge. However, this means that the neighbouring, healthy teeth are exposed to stresses beyond the typical threshold. This leads to the neighbouring teeth melting away and thus deteriorates the regular support system.

This process leads to the formation of visually displeasing, shady areas surrounding the bridge as the gum and bone start to separate from the supporting teeth. Additionally, the strain on the bridge can also lead to an opening forming between the bridge and the tooth, resulting in bacteria leakage and deterioration, increasing the change of root canals. Also, bridges created through the linking of 3 or more teeth makes flossing challenging, and sometimes unmanageable.

  • Operate like normal teeth 
  • Feel like natural teeth
  • Uphold the principle of the bone structure subsequent to tooth loss
  • Replace loose dentures
  • Maintain the strength and wellbeing of adjacent teeth as bridgework is not required
  • Disperse bite forces equally
  • Enhance facial aesthetics by preventing loss of bone

Tooth loss can have a dramatic impact on one’s life as it does not only affect one’s appearance but can also have negative impacts on one’s overall well-being and health and reduces one’s confidence in smiling. Therefore, it is extremely vital that missing teeth should be replaced with dental implants immediately to avoid possible health issues such as:

  • Trouble chewing
  • Bone loss 
  • Drifting and movement of teeth
  • Joint problems in jaw

Do Dental Implants ever need to be replaced?

At our practice we have never faced the problem of any implants needing to be removed or changed. This is because we scrupulously plan the process to warrant that the dispersal of forces in the patient’s mouth are equal, which leads to success.

Dental Implants: What are they?

Dental implants are bio compatible titanium replacements of the tooth’s attaching roots. Dental Implants are used as substitutes for absent teeth. There are three sections associated with dental implant restorations, including:

The Process of Dental Implant Placement:

Planning stage

This is where a treatment process will be determined in order to guarantee a successful result. Often computer imaging of your teeth may be required in order for us to observe the condition of the bone. Computer imaging will also aid with creating three-dimensional footage of your mouth to guarantee the appropriate placement of the Dental Implants.
 
Stage 1
Stage 2

Implant placement

This is the stage of the implant placement, where the implant will be placed in the perfect position so that the gum tissue can cultivate around the implant.
 

Healing stage

In this, the bone surrounding the implant will be cultivated naturally and merge with the Hiossen Dental implant. The healing phase is usually between 3-6 months.
 
Stage 3
Stage 4

Temporary restoration

This stage will only occur if the implant is in an area that is noticeable and is a stage only required for aesthetic reasons during the healing stage.
 

Support placement

This is the stage of support placement, which occurs once the healing has finished. This stage involves the placement of the dental implant abutment in order to join the implant to the porcelain crown.
 
Stage 5
Stage 6

Porcelain crown

During this stage, our ceramist will construct a porcelain crown to requirement. Once this is made, we will connect the abutment to the crown.
