In most cases, the dental implant procedure is safe if the doctor recommends it. However, you may not be a candidate for implant treatment due to some reasons such as smoking.
Dental implant applications are currently the healthiest and safest treatment method used in dentistry to compensate for tooth loss. However, certain systemic diseases or widespread smoking can pose obstacles to implant applications. A dental implant is a titanium material that mimics tooth roots. After the dental implant adapts to the bone, porcelain that mimics the tooth itself is placed on top. If you have missing teeth, your dentist may recommend implants in most cases. The dental implant procedure takes about 2 to 3 months to complete because the jawbone and surrounding tissues need to heal. Dental implants are the safest and healthiest method for many people. However, if a person's health conditions are not suitable or there is not enough bone mass, alternative treatment methods may be applied.
Dental implants are quite safe for many people. If you are in good overall health and maintain proper oral hygiene, it will be a long-lasting treatment. A dental implant is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. On average, it takes about 2 to 3 months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. However, sometimes the implant may not fully heal. The general factors contributing to this include:
If you are over 60 years old, wound healing in tooth extraction and dental implant procedures may take a bit longer. Consequently, the healing of a dental implant, expected to take 2 to 3 months, might also take longer. This situation can be assessed through radiographic examination. Other systemic conditions that develop with age, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, or osteoporosis, can also delay or negatively affect implant healing. Considering all these conditions, your dentist will conduct a detailed evaluation.
