I had formed a dental implant about

I had formed a dental implant about two years earlier, and I would Dentist in Boulder CO recommend this procedure to be able to anyone who is considered a candidate by a dental practitioner. Dental implants can be as strong like a natural tooth, and the reason for that is that the titanium implant material truly makes a chemical bond with the bone in one's jaw. This is a enormous advantage for a replacement tooth.

There are a many downsides to the procedure, however. One of these is the fact not all implant procedures work. Not long ago i read an article which cited various statistics. It said that 95% of all implants on lower teeth are powerful, as are 90% of those on uppr teeth. The article did not specify the issues for the failed attempts, but I suspect they have to do with the skill of the dentist or periodontist, as well as the condition of the bone into which the implant is placed.

Another issue is a length of time it takes to complete the procedure right from beginning to end. In my case this was about ten months, and this involved time to wait for an appointment with the periodontist, a specialist, and the time he accepted let the extraction heal thoroughly. He / she also waited several months for the implant to bind with the bones with my lower right jaw after it had been finally inserted. Immediately after the tooth extraction I also had a small bone graft added to my jaw to add even more support for the implant once it was inserted. Of course during most of this time I needed to chew all my food on one side of my mouth area only. At first this was bothersome, but after a while I got used to it.

This periodontist seemed to take a conservative method of letting my mouth adjust right after extracting my bad tooth as well as after inserting the implant. This individual waited about five months after the extraction and bone graft to put the implant into my oral cavity, and then we waited another several months before putting a stud onto the implant and having a long term crown made. I think his experience told him that the length of time the process took from beginning to end had not been important. What was important is that the implant was a success. I have seen commercials lately from dentists who claims to do an implant in one day. I have no idea what they are talking about, most likely it is some other kind of implant.

As i have said, I've had the implant for 2 years now, and it feels like a regular tooth. In fact I don't notice it at all. If you are a candidate, a orthodontic implant is definitely worth considering.
