What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a metal device placed in a patient’s jawbone in order to attach an artificial tooth to the jaw. A dental implant consists of three parts. These are crown, abutment, and screw. Crown is the top part of an implant which looks like your natural tooth. Abutment functions as a connector, attaching the crown to the screw. Screw functions as the root of your tooth, stabilizing the crown into the jawbone.

Dental implants clinics and dentists in Iran

In Iran, dental implant clinics offer a full range of implant procedures. They have met all the international standards, and are equipped with advanced facilities.

The country enjoys a society of highly-experienced and trained dentists who even attended the prestigious US or European universities. The chance of having a successful implant surgery depends on the experience of the dentist as this procedure is as much about art and experience as it is about science. Accordingly, choosing a country like Iran where with highly experienced dentists would help you get through this procedure with much satisfaction.

How is dental implants procedure done?

Furthermore, you may need a bone graft surgery prior to your implantation if your jawbone is not sufficient to receive/hold the implant. If you’re going through a bone graft surgery, it will take a couple of months for your jawbone to heal.

Dental implants recovery

During the first days after the surgery, you may experience pain, discomfort, and bleeding. Some patients also see swelling around the implanted teeth. This will subside after a while.

Types of dental implants used in Iran

Titanium and titanium alloys are the types of metals widely used in implants. They are durable and proven to last for a long time. However, they represent a few drawbacks including the risk of being rejected by the patient’s immune system, complications with MRI, cellular sensitization and allergy. Due to these disadvantages, Zirconia implants are introduced as an alternative to titanium implants. They are found to not only render the suitable characteristics of titanium but also lack the titanium’s imperfections. In light of this, Iranian dentists/surgeons offer both Zirconia and titanium implants according to the patient’s condition and preference.

Advantages of dental implants

Dental implants include a number of advantages over other alternatives. These are:

  • Being comfortable

Dental implants and crowns usually make you feel more comfortable than other dental devices. Implants feel natural and people usually don’t have any problem eating and chewing.

  • Easy care

Artificial teeth fixed with implants are adjustable with flossing, brushing, and routine dental checkups.

  • Durability

Dental implants usually last for decades without any repairs or replacements.

  • Easy speech

People wearing dentures may have speech problems such as mumbling or sometimes slurring. The latter is a result of slipping the dentures out of place. But dental implants are jointed to the jawbone firmly without causing any problem of speaking for the patients.

  • Firmness

Dental implants are usually considered being more firm than natural teeth and wholly functional.

  • Better function

Implants function at peak performance compared to your natural teeth as they can’t develop cavities. Plus, they will not affect neighboring healthy teeth or lead to bone loss in the jaw.

A practical point for your care

Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]
