There are two categories of these implants; the fibro-integrated and osseo-integrated implant, with the latter being the most popularly recognized method. It was discovered by a Swedish professor, known as Per-Ingvar Branemark. It is based on the principle that the cells on which the tooth develops, known as osteoblasts, can also grow from rough titanium; that's implanted. The success of this procedure lies in this medium, which connects the living bone with the implant. This fusing process of titanium with living bones is what is referred to as Osseo-integration. However, you must be in good health to undergo this procedure.
The best part about this implant is that it offers a close natural look. It can be used to treat tooth abscesses and other related periodontal diseases. Individuals who have lost a tooth due to trauma or physical injury could also benefit on the procedure. Moreover, it can act as a support where the adjacent tooth is not healthy. It is meant to last out for one's lifetime.
Dental implants require little or even no maintenance after the procedure. The success rate of this procedure can be up to 98 percent in healthy people as long as they maintain good post-treatment care. You can choose between ceramic or porcelain as the crown material. Porcelain gives a more natural appearance and is less expensive than the porcelain crowns.
Other benefits of dental implants include improved speech and the ability to eat and chew naturally. Moreover, implants enable you keep good oral hygiene since you can brush them normally. All these can play a major role in an improved self-esteem.
