Dental implantology is the best way to replace missing teeth, because of their success rate, with 98% for lower implants and 91% for upper implants. Generally, over fifty years of clinical and medical research has shown that overall, dental implants success rate is an impressive 98%. Many studies show teeth implantation to be the most reliable method of tooth restoration. However, achieving a positive outcome from dental implantology depends on the careful consideration of many important aspects, including the skills of the dental surgeon, the patient’s overall oral hygiene, as well as the quality and quantity of bone available at the implantation site.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental implantology is a form of cosmetic dentistry that involves surgery to replace a missing tooth or teeth with an artificial one. To be exact, dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to support a restoration for a missing tooth or teeth, which helps to stop or even prevent jawbone loss. It is therefore important before undergoing dental implant treatment to research which clinics offer the highest level of dental care. The success of the surgery largely depends on the education and experience of the dentist.

In cases where there is insufficient bone tissue, it will be recommend you undergo a bone grafting procedure. Bone grafting is a necessary, additional surgery that greatly improves the bone density, so the dental surgeon will have a firm and stable foundation in which to place the dental implant. This may increase the costs of the operation and the time it takes to heal, but it is a crucial step for the success and longevity of the implant.
