OSSEOINTEGRATION
What is Osseointegration
When
dental implants that have been placed in your jawbone are
successful, OSSEOINTEGRATION occurs.
This term means bone
connection. The
metal or ceramic part of the Implant is placed into your jawbone, then
the bone
actually attaches itself directly to the Implant, growing all around it and
supporting it firmly.
Scientific
data do tell us that Implant system based on OSSEOINTEGRATION
are predictable and highly successful. Your dentist can discuss this
with you.

How long will Dental Implants
last ?
With
advances in the science of Implant dentistry, you can now expect
that most Implants will function indefinitely. However, like any
dental restoration, the teeth may wear or break and need to be
repaired or replaced.
Examination and Diagnosis
When
you first see your dentist to talk about the possibility of
Implant therapy, your mouth will be thoroughly examined. X-rays
will be taken of your head, jaw, and teeth so your dentist can
determine the type, amount, and location of bone that is
available. You may have to undergo other tests to check blood
characteristics, heart function, lung condition, and general
health status.
Impressions
Impression
(molds) of the teeth and jaws are also necessary. Using these
impression, the dentist will then make plaster-like models so he
or she can plan the treatment and make surgical guides. Such
surgical help the surgeon to properly place the Implants.
