Don't Get Implants Until You Know This! Dentists Don't Tell You The Truth
Summary
TLDRThis video provides an in-depth look at dental implants, explaining their procedure, benefits, and potential risks. It covers the process of implant placement, the healing period, and what patients can expect in terms of swelling and recovery. The video also highlights the advantages of implants over traditional dentures, such as preserving neighboring teeth, preventing bone loss, and offering comfort and durability. Additionally, the video discusses who is not a suitable candidate for implants, including individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, or certain immune disorders, emphasizing the importance of making informed decisions before undergoing the procedure.
Takeaways
- 😀 Dental implants are artificial roots placed into the jawbone to support a future tooth, consisting of an implant, abutment, and crown.
- 😀 The healing and integration period for implants typically ranges from 2 to 6 months, during which bone cells grow into the implant threads for stabilization.
- 😀 Temporary solutions like a plastic tooth or adhesive bridge can be used during the healing period if a visible tooth is missing.
- 😀 Swelling and bruising after the procedure are normal and often indicate a strong healing response; swelling usually peaks on day 3.
- 😀 Implants may fail due to individual intolerance to titanium, impurities, or pre-existing health conditions, but failed implants can be safely replaced.
- 😀 Implant costs can be paid in three stages: implant placement, abutment placement, and crown placement, spreading the financial burden over time.
- 😀 Advantages of implants include preservation of neighboring teeth, high success rates (98–99.8%), comfort, prevention of bone loss, and long-lasting durability.
- 😀 Implants are quick to install, often taking only about 20 minutes per implant, and with proper care, can last a lifetime.
- 😀 Contraindications include uncontrolled diabetes, cancer under oncologist care, bisphosphonate therapy, immunodeficiency conditions, and age under 18–21 due to ongoing jaw development.
- 😀 Proper patient preparation, realistic expectations, and awareness of potential complications are essential for successful implantation outcomes.
Q & A
What is the primary reason why dental implants may not take or fail to integrate?
-Dental implants may fail to integrate due to individual characteristics of the body, such as the body's inability to accept or tolerate the alloy (e.g., titanium) used for the implant, or due to existing co-morbidities that affect the healing process.
How long does the healing period typically take after dental implant placement?
-The healing period for dental implants typically ranges from 2 to 3 months, and in rare cases, it can extend up to 6 months. This period is necessary for the implant to integrate with the bone.
What is the role of osteocytes in the process of dental implant integration?
-Osteocytes are small bone cells that grow into the threads of the implant during the healing process. This growth is what allows the implant to integrate with the bone, providing stability and support for the future crown.
Can a temporary tooth be placed immediately after dental implant surgery?
-In some cases, a temporary plastic tooth can be placed immediately after the implant surgery, especially when the abutment or healing cap is installed right away. However, in other cases, the patient may have to go without a tooth until the implant fully integrates.
How does swelling and bruising after dental implant surgery affect the healing process?
-Swelling and bruising are common after dental implant surgery. Interestingly, the severity of swelling and bruising is often a sign of strong healing, as the body directs its protective resources to the affected area, aiding in recovery and bone growth.
What should patients do if their dental implant fails to integrate or is rejected?
-If the implant fails to integrate or is rejected, a specific protocol is followed. The implant is removed, and depending on the case, a new implant may be placed immediately or after a 3 to 6 month healing period.
What are some of the advantages of dental implants over traditional bridges?
-One major advantage of dental implants is that they preserve neighboring teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, which require grinding down adjacent teeth, implants allow the surrounding healthy teeth to remain intact.
How does dental implantation help prevent bone loss?
-Dental implants prevent bone loss by providing a load on the bone, which stimulates bone function. Without such a load, the bone may soften and recede, but with an implant, bone loss is halted.
What factors contribute to the high success rate of dental implants?
-The high success rate of dental implants (between 98% and 99.8%) is due to their predictable performance, the preservation of neighboring teeth, and their comfort compared to removable dentures. Additionally, implants are durable and long-lasting with proper care.
Who should avoid getting dental implants?
-Dental implants are contraindicated for individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, certain types of cancer (especially those undergoing oncological care), those taking bisphosphonate medications for osteoporosis or cancer, people with immune deficiencies like AIDS, and patients under 18 years old due to the ongoing development of the dental and jaw system.
