Advantages and Possible Complications of Dental Implants

The doctor replaces your tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts during dental implant surgery in Iran. During this surgery, your lost tooth is replaced with a replacement that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Dentures or bridgework can be replaced with dental implants, a suitable option. Because a denture or dental bridge may not be possible due to a lack of natural tooth roots, dental implant surgery may be the best choice for replacing a lost tooth.

Several processes are involved in dental implant surgery. In general, how dental implant surgery is carried out is determined by the kind of implant and the state of your jawbone. The significant benefit of dental implant surgery and implants is that your new teeth will be solid and stable. The prosthesis must be put in your gums during dental implant surgery.

As a result, your jawbone plays a significant part in the procedure for a firmer implant, as a cavity in the jawbone will be created for dental implant placement. As previously stated, this will aid the implant’s lant’s durability. The recovery of your jaw after dental implant surgery is dependent on several factors, including the quality dentist’s work, your jaw health, and so on.

It may take many months for the jaw to recover completely following dental implant surgery. The benefits and drawbacks of dental implants and pre-and post-operative instructions are thoroughly covered in this article by The Amitis Health Tourism Company.

Advantages of Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant surgery may offer benefits that other dental alternative methods cannot (such as dentures or bridges), some of which have been mentioned in this article from The Moj Aramesh Amitis Health Tourism Company, including:

It Just Matches Your Natural Teeth

Dental implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Your dentist will design implants for you based on your teeth positions so that the implant will match the color of your natural ones, perfectly fits in your mouth, and does not harm surrounding teeth. Implants will look so natural and fit that no one will know about them except you and your dentist.

Restores Bite Force

Since implants are anchored into the jawbone via a titanium post (replacing tooth root), you can bite more or less the same amount of force you could use with your natural ones. Other tooth replacement options do not restore nearly as much of your bite force because they sit on top of the gum and aren’t anchored.

Prevents Changes in The Shape of Your Face

Your teeth have an essential role in the shape of your face. By losing teeth, you lose the support of your facial structure, making you appear older. Dental implants support your face just like your natural teeth do.

Restores Normal Speech

Using teeth alternative options, such as dentures, can affect your speaking ability. A missing tooth may interrupt your normal speaking, such as mispronouncing words. Since implants function like natural teeth, they will restore your natural speech.

• Swelling of the gums and face
• Bruising of the skin and gums

Visit your oral surgeon if you have experienced any pain, swelling, or other complications worsening over the days after the surgery. To speed up your healing process after each stage of dental implant surgery, you may need to consume soft food.
