A CT Scan or computed tomography scan is a medical imaging technique that used a computer -processed combinations of multiple X-Ray measurements taken from different angles to produce tomographic (cross-sectional) images of a body, allowing the user to see inside the body without cutting. A CT Scan allows for precision placement of implants.
What Does a Dental Implant Do?
Dental implants are permanent objects used to replace missing teeth. They may support a full denture, allowing the structure to be more secure and comfortable. Fixed bridges may also be supported by dental implants, and may eliminate the need for partial removable dentures. With today’s technology, teeth surrounding the dental implant or implants are no longer cut or harmed in any way.
What are the Positives of Getting Dental Implants?
Dental implants may support replacement teeth just as well as natural teeth. They are a permanent alternative to dentures, which may cause pain and come loose at inopportune times. Dental implants restore a person’s smile by filling in holes left by missing teeth and allow an individual to chew and act as they once did. Dental implants have over a 90% success rate and may last a lifetime.
What are the Negatives of Getting Dental Implants?
Dental implants are more costly than dentures or removable bridges, and acquiring dentures may take longer than dentures. Implant success cannot be guaranteed, because every person is different. Implants may become loose and may need to be replaced, and have the possibility of getting infected after surgery.
What Does the Dental Implant Procedure Entail?
No two dental implant procedures are the same. Patients usually have teeth implanted in the dentist’s office, using local anesthesia. In a rare situation, a person may need to spend recovery time in a hospital. After a person receives dental implants, they need to brush, floss, and visit a dentist regularly to ensure success.
Is it a Painful Procedure?
A majority of people who receive dental implants say the procedure entails little pain and discomfort, and most patients state it is less painful than a tooth extraction. As specified above, local anesthesia may be used during the procedure, and if there is any soreness, it may be treated with over-the-counter pain medications.
