Tooth loss can be shattering and life-changing, but dental implants allow you to restore full dental functions and the appearance of your smile. They offer a more natural tooth replacement option than other tooth replacement options.
Dr Ahmad Jbara, who is specialized in dental surgery and implants, says that the implant process is the latest option to replace missing teeth, and it is the most affluent method because it does not harm the tooth or the surrounding tissues.
On the other hand, Dr Ahmad ensures that the success of dental implants depends mainly on the quality and quantity of the available bone in the recipient site. If inadequate bone exists, several bone manipulation techniques may be used to reconstruct the deficient ridge for implant placement and make it extremely durable and strong.
And the doctor adds: “After completing the process of implanting and having the new teeth, it’s fundamental that you keep up good hygiene habits to protect this implant, and conduct a periodic examination every 6 months.”
Regarding the results of the operation, Jbara asserts that with proper oral hygiene, you can expect satisfactory outcomes. He points out that the implant abutment itself stays for a lifetime after its fusion with the jawbone; as for the crown, it lasts about 10 to 15 years before it needs to be replaced or changed over time.
