A piece called an abutment is put on top of the dental implant or built into it. This connects the implant to the replacement tooth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dental implant is finished with a crown, which is a replacement tooth made to look like your natural teeth. One study reveals the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8658728\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">effectiveness of the crown<\/a> is associated with the long-term survival of root-canal-treated teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#what_are_the_different_types_of_dental_implants\" title=\"What Are The Different Types Of Dental Implants?\">What Are The Different Types Of Dental Implants?<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#endosteal_implants\" title=\"Endosteal Implants\">Endosteal Implants<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#subperiosteal_implants\" title=\"Subperiosteal Implants\">Subperiosteal Implants<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#_all-on-_4_teeth_implants\" title=\"&nbsp;All-on- 4 Teeth Implants\">&nbsp;All-on- 4 Teeth Implants<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#implant_overdentures\" title=\"Implant Overdentures\">Implant Overdentures<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#implant-supported_bridges\" title=\"Implant-Supported Bridges\">Implant-Supported Bridges<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#why_you_need_a_dental_implant\" title=\"Why You Need A Dental Implant?\">Why You Need A Dental Implant?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/a-complete-information-about-dental-implant\/#what_can_you_expect_after_getting_a_dental_implant\" title=\"What Can You Expect After Getting A Dental Implant?\">What Can You Expect After Getting A Dental Implant?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_are_the_different_types_of_dental_implants\"><\/span>What Are The Different Types Of Dental Implants?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your prosthodontist will choose from the different coating, connector, and size options for each type of dental implant. Even though there are different ways to put implants in, they usually fall into groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"endosteal_implants\"><\/span>Endosteal Implants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common type of dental implant is endosteal. They are sometimes used instead of a bridge or a removable set of false teeth. There are screw types, cylinder types, and bladed types of endosteal implants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the top reviewed dentist in Karachi, <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/karachi\/dentist\/dr-muhammad-ahsan-bhatti-5358984\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Muhammad Ahsan Bhatti<\/a> &#8220;<em>Your prosthodontist can help you figure out which type of dental implant will work best for you, but endosteal implants are safe, effective, and the most common type used today<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first step of an endosteal implant, the implant is screwed into the jawbone. For this to work, the jawbone must be strong and healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your jawbone ridge is short, narrow, or worn down because of an accident or illness, you might not have enough bone to properly support an endosteal implant. In this case, a subperiosteal implant might be an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"subperiosteal_implants\"><\/span>Subperiosteal Implants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Subperiosteal is used less and less these days. Once, they were mostly used to hold fake teeth in place for people who didn&#8217;t have enough bone height. The study reveals that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8658728\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">stability of the implant<\/a> depends on the thickness of the cortical bone. When subperiosteal implants are used, they are put on the jawbone inside the gum tissue. The metal implant post is then visible through the gums and holds the tooth in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_all-on-_4_teeth_implants\"><\/span>&nbsp;All-on- 4 Teeth Implants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All-on-4 implants are often a good choice for adults who don&#8217;t want to <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/fake-tooth-for-a-durable-and-long-lasting-replacement-for-your-smile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wear fake teeth<\/a>. The root of the missing tooth is replaced by putting a small metal screw into your jaw.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This needs a small operation. After that, a crown is put on, and the result is a tooth that looks and works like a real one. They are called &#8220;all-on-4&#8221; implants because each jaw has four of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"implant_overdentures\"><\/span>Implant Overdentures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant overdentures are a great alternative to traditional false teeth if you are healthy enough to have teeth pulled. When put on top of implants, overdentures can be more stable than traditional false teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overdentures often make it easier to chew food, improve speech, reduce pain, get rid of the need for dental paints and coatings, and let you use your existing false teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"implant-supported_bridges\"><\/span>Implant-Supported Bridges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant-supported bridges are a good choice if you are missing one or more teeth, don&#8217;t have enough jawbone to support an implant or have a nerve near the missing tooth. They are made of three separate parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The anchor point<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fixing up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that this dental implant can lessen the pressure that grinding your teeth puts on each implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the timeline for implant-supported bridges, you will start with a consultation that includes x-rays, your dental history, impressions, and possibly a <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/lab-tests\/ct-scan-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CT scan<\/a> if you are missing multiple teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first surgery will happen after this. Once the implant has healed, there will be a second surgery with a small cut. This surgery is easier than the first one. In the last step, a permanent bridge will be put in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After knowing about all these different types of implants you must be thinking that what happens after a dental implant procedure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_you_need_a_dental_implant\"><\/span>Why You Need A Dental Implant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are surgically implanted into your jawbone to replace missing teeth roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixed bridgework or dentures may slip, generate noise, or cause bone injury because of the titanium in the implant&#8217;s bonds with your jawbone. The materials also won&#8217;t deteriorate like the teeth that support traditional bridgework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants may be appropriate for you if you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have one or more teeth missing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a jawbone that is fully developed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have enough bone to hold the implants in place or can get a bone transplant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have healthy oral tissues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t have health conditions that will affect bone healing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are unable or unwilling to wear dentures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Want to improve your speech<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are willing to commit to the process for several months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will never be smoked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_can_you_expect_after_getting_a_dental_implant\"><\/span>What Can You Expect After Getting A Dental Implant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a dental implant procedure, it&#8217;s common to have <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-bleeding-gums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">painful bleeding gums<\/a> and feel some pain, bleed, swell, and get bruises. The process of getting dental implants takes time, patience, and several visits to a dentist you trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dental implant surgery, people are often given painkillers and antibiotics. If you&#8217;ve had dental implants, it&#8217;s very important to take good care of your teeth, see <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/lahore\/dentist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your dentist regularly<\/a>, and avoid bad habits like chewing ice or hard candies. The good news is that between 90 and 95% of dental implants work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things You Should Consider<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restorations for dental implants today look almost exactly like natural teeth. This is partly because of the way the implant is built and how it works with the living bone, and partly because of new technology that makes the teeth fit perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All types of dental implants can stay in place for the rest of your life if you take good care of them. Your prosthodontist, who is an expert in dental implants, can help you decide which option is best for you based on your needs.&nbsp;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/islamabad\/dentist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Connect with your dentist today<\/a> if you want to get your mouth back to normal and smile with confidence in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might listen somewhere that you need an implant but you wonder what\u2019s an implant.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":7841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dental-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What\u2019s A Dental Implant- A Complete Information One Click Away - Healthwire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A dental implant is a small post that is titanium-made and replaces the tooth&#039;s root.
