Dental Implants Maui: The Procedure, Problems And Complications

By Ryan Jackson


Teeth are lost due to disease or trauma. Trauma may result from of excessive biting forces or from an accident. The disease is tooth decay or periodontal disease [gum disease], but there are other categories such as cancer and various neoplasms' of the jaw that may result in tooth loss. Trauma commonly causes the loss of a single front tooth. The effect this has on a persons' well-being is apparent. However, Dental Implants Maui provides a long lasting and durable alternative to the missing natural tooth or teeth.

An experienced dentist can usually remove the remaining root, place a dental implant, and secure a new tooth to that implant in one visit of an hour or two. The loss of a single tooth in the back results from tooth decay or periodontal disease. Sometimes this can be treated just like front teeth, but for various reasons, it is often more time-consuming.

When should one resort to implant? Anyone having one or more missing teeth is a perfect candidate for the implant. Thus, you should opt for this process if: you want to replace your missing teeth, want to restore the aesthetics of your face by having your missing teeth replaced, You want to eat and speak without any difficulty, and You want to get rid of your inconvenient and uncomfortable dentures.

Dental implants offer amazingly straightforward and dependable solutions. The replacements are artificial roots made of titanium that replace the roots of natural teeth. For a single missing tooth, one implant is placed, and a crown is attached to it. The result is a natural looking tooth that functions and works just like the natural tooth.

Placement of the Implant - A hole is drilled into the jaw bone, such that it is slightly narrower than the actual thickness of the implant. It is then carefully taped or screwed into position by applying precise and controlled forces. In case of a two-step implantation, placement procedure is planned, a healing abutment is placed over the implant, and the overlying soft tissues are sutured to allow healing of the surgical site. Once healing has taken place, the healing abutment is removed, and a prosthetic is mounted to the implant. Alternatively, if immediate implant loading has been planned, a prosthetic is immediately placed over the concerned implant.

Minimal Requirement for Tooth Preparation - Fabrication of teeth bridges, even for the replacement of a single tooth requires reduction of the adjacent teeth as well. On the other hand, placement of dental implants does not require any preparation or modification of the adjacent teeth, thereby preserving the natural tooth structure.

Dentist with a more advanced understanding of dental implants may place an implant into the socket when the tooth is eliminated. When done successfully, it provides the best and simplest solution for preventing bone loss. But because many dentists do not understand dental implants and the protocols necessary for preserving bone, and because many patients take a cavalier approach to the loss of a tooth, sometimes there is a need for an implant but not an adequate bone to support it.

This practice of replacement of single missing teeth and multiple missing teeth have become as routine for dentist implantology as fillings are at your family dentist. For those with single missing teeth, they offer an exceptional replacement solution that can help prevent future problems.
