Over the last 30 years since the technology has been developed, dental implants have fast become one of the most favoured solutions for fixing missing or replacing unhealthy teeth. But whilst they can replace other traditional solutions including crowns, bridges and dentures, many people ask; are dental implants permanent?
Yes, dental implants are permanent. This is because each tooth is a titanium screw-like rod that fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. One-stage implant treatments mean that at the same time as getting the rod fitted patients can also get the clip (the bit that connects the rod to the new prosthesis e.g. crown, bridge or denture) fitted. They may also request that the actual prosthesis is fitted at the same time.
Having new teeth fitted in this way can be done in two ways; one stage and two-stage treatments. The one-stage treatment means that at the same time as having the rod fitted, the clip (the piece that connects the rod to the false tooth) and the prosthesis (the aesthetic false tooth) are also fitted after the initial surgical procedure.
Many patients request that the false tooth is removable to allow for better cleaning. Patients who have existing bridge, crowns or dentures often consider dental implants because they help to keep the prosthesis in place without having to be attached to other healthy teeth, something which can cause irritation and even damage to healthy teeth.
Many men and women prefer to have dental implants because unlike traditional solutions, the false tooth doesn't have to be secured to other healthy teeth which can cause damage and irritation. Patients must attend regular check-ups with their doctor to make sure the rod is tight and to have the bridge or crown replaced every 10-15 years. But overall, dental implants are 100% permanent.
