Dental Implants?

I am thinking of getting a dental implant (molar) and wondered if anyone has had experience or problems with theirs.





P.S. Are you eventually able to chew with it like a normal tooth?


As in pain free?

Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the closest replacement for missing teeth. A dental implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed within your jaw bone following an extraction or in an area where a tooth is missing. When a tooth is removed, over time, the bone begins to resorb three-dimensionally. Over time the bone resorbs both in height and width, making it more difficult for implants to be placed later on in life. This becomes particullary difficult in the posterior lower jaw (because there is a nerve - called the Inferior Alveolar Nerve - that runs through the jaw) and in the posterior upper jaw (because of the proximity to your sinuses) When the bone resorbs, there becomes less bone available over these critical structures, for implant placement.





As for whether they will hurt your gums and bone, the answer is NO. Placing implants will actually help to prevent this resorptive process. Your bone actually fuses to the implant through a process called Osseointegration. They only get loose if they fail (and the average success rate for implants is between 95 and 98%) Teeth get loose because they are surrounded by a ligament which has some flexibility, implants do not have these ligaments, they are fused directly to the bone.





There are risks to getting implants because it is a surgical procedure, but your dentist can best explain these to you based on which location they are planned for. Make sure that you have them placed by a well trained professional.





Costs can range greatly for implant placement, from around $750 to over $2000, depending on who or where you have them done. However, there will be an additional fee for the crown and abutment (post) that will need to be placed on top of the implant.





To get to the bottom line, Yes, you will eventually be able to chew like with normal teeth. The sensation might be alittle different, but they are the closest thing to natural teeth!
Reply:Thank you for your answer. do you know any dental implant specialists in Los angeles? Report It

Reply:If you are getting the implant, more than likely they will detach your root thus ridding that socket of all feeling in general which definitely has its pros and cons.
Reply:I have an implant and would do it all over again! My husband is a dentist so I new what I was getting into, but from the patient's point of view I have to say you will never regret it. The surgery is pretty easy, they don't knock you out but you really aren't "with it". After the surgery I was a little scared about what it would feel like and I really didn't have any problems, kinda felt bruised but not in pain. You have to wait until you are all healed to get the "tooth part" put in, but ever since then I can function perfectly! I don't even know it's there except I can chew! The worst part was paying for it!
Reply:HI,


ALL OF MY PATIENTS WHO GOT IMPLANTS LOVED THEM. YES, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CHEW ON IT LIKE A NORMAL TOOTH. BUT JUST MAKE SURE YOU DO EVERYTHING YOUR DENTIST TELLS YOU TO DO ON KEEPING IT CLEAN, OR ELSE IT MAY GET PAINFUL. GOOD LUCK AND IMPLANT AWAY!! PS. MAKE SURE YOU DONT SMOKE. IMPLANTS NORMALLY FAIL IF THE PATIENT IS A SMOKER.
Reply:Dental Implants and Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.





Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.


They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
