What facts should you know about dental implants before getting them?

When a person loses their teeth due to ageing, trauma, or any other cause, the teeth sockets can be left blank, which can house various types of infecting microbes. Calgary dental implants can be one of the best teeth restoration solutions for it. This treatment involves placing a rod in the jawline, then putting a moulded artificial tooth or crown in those sockets, which can last for a long time while keeping a healthy gum line. Below are some facts every patient should know about before getting dental implants. 

 The requirements for the patients

The patient has to have healthy gum and strong bone for dental implant surgery. These implants can feel and look just like the natural teeth that can chew food and function like an original tooth. When the patient has to undergo surgery for dental implants in Calgary, their gum tissues and jaws condition, teeth size & shape, and position of the jaw bones etc., are considered for a successful procedure.

Different types of dental implants

There are two types of implants available, i.e. Endosteal and subperiosteal implants. While the endosteal is directly implanted into the jawbone through the surgical procedure, the subperiosteal is implanted in the jawbone. The later Calgary dental Implants are more fixed in the jawbone after the gum tissue is healed.

Patients who have undergone dental implants surgery can experience some pain and bleeding at the implant site, and there is also the chance of getting an infection. To avoid that, you should brush and floss your teeth daily to prevent such occurrence.
