CAN DENTAL IMPLANTS BE PERMANENT?

Dental Implant is the most modern and effective method of restoring lost teeth today. Implants are implanted into the jawbone to replace lost tooth roots, then porcelain teeth are attached on top to form complete teeth. Implant teeth have the same shape and function as real teeth, helping to improve aesthetics, chewing and pronunciation. Many people still wonder about the lifespan of Implants. Can dental Implants be permanent? Let's find out in the following blog post.

What are dental Implants?

Dental Implants are a type of tooth restoration surgically placed into the jawbone of the user. They consist of 3 main parts: the implant fixture, abutment and crown. The Implant fixture is the part implanted into the jawbone to create a foundation for the prosthetic tooth. The abutment is the connecting part between the Implant and the crown. The crown is the tooth-like part mounted on the abutment to complete the shape and function of the tooth.

Dental Implants can be applied for many different cases of missing teeth, from single missing teeth to complete loss of all teeth in the jaw. Depending on the number and position of missing teeth, users can choose different types of Implants, such as single Implants, full-arch Implants.

Can dental implants last forever?

To answer this question, we need to understand that dental Implants consist of 3 main parts: the titanium fixture (Implant), abutment and crown. Of these, the titanium fixture is the most important part, as it connects to the jawbone and provides stability for the Implant. The titanium fixture is made of titanium, a metal with high osseointegration capability, non-allergic and non-infectious. Therefore, the titanium fixture can last a lifetime in the jawbone if Implanted properly and cared for well.

However, the abutment and crown are parts in direct contact with the oral environment, affected by factors like chewing force, acids, bacteria, etc. Thus, the abutment and crown may wear out or get damaged over time. Typically, the abutment and crown last about 10-15 years.

However, their longevity also depends on many other factors like their quality, Implantation technique, oral hygiene, eating habits, etc. With proper care and regular check-ups, you can extend the lifespan of the abutment and crown to 20-25 years.

So, can dental Implants last forever? The answer is maybe. If you get Implants at a reputable dental clinic, use high-quality titanium fixtures from leading countries, and care for them properly, you can keep the Implants for life. However, note that the abutment and crown are parts that can wear down or get damaged over time. Thus, you need to have them examined and replaced when necessary to maintain stability and aesthetics for the Implants.

The benefits of dental Implants

Dental Implants provide many benefits for the patient:

• Dental Implants are like natural teeth in shape and function. You can eat comfortably without worry of slipping or rocking like conventional dentures or bridges.
• Dental Implants do not affect adjacent teeth like conventional bridge methods. You do not need to shave down adjacent teeth to serve as abutments.
• Dental Implants help prevent bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. When you lose teeth, the jawbone gets resorbed due to lack of stimulation from chewing forces. This will cause your face to sink in and look older. Dental Implants stimulate the jawbone during chewing, helping maintain jawbone health.

• Dental Implants help improve the aesthetics of your face. You will have a confident and attractive smile with bright, white and even teeth.
• Dental Implants help improve your pronunciation. When you lose teeth, you will have difficulty pronouncing sounds related to teeth. Implants will help you pronounce more accurately and easily.

How to care for dental Implants

To maintain dental Implants permanently, you need to pay attention to proper and effective care. You can refer to the following advice:

• Brush your teeth and floss daily to remove plaque and bacteria on and around the teeth. You should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and unwaxed floss to avoid injuring the gums.
• Use specialized mouthwash to kill germs and thoroughly clean the mouth. You should rinse at least twice a day, after brushing and before bedtime.

• Use a water flosser to prevent plaque buildup, sanitize, and clean hard-to-reach areas between teeth. You should water floss daily after brushing and rinsing.
• Get regular dental checkups and cleanings every 6 months. The dentist will examine the Implants, abutments and crowns, and clean stubborn stains and tartar.
• Limit consumption of very hard, sweet, or acidic foods. These foods can damage the crown or cause enamel erosion.
• Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, or other stimulants. These substances can cause infections, bone loss, or affect the healing process of the dental Implants.
