What Is a Tooth Implant and Is It Safe?

Dental implants are a treatment designed to replace natural teeth with real looking artificial replacements. They can be used to permanently attach either crowns or lock-in loose dentures. As such, they are more resilient and sturdy than other artificial tooth replacement options.

A tooth implant is attached directly to the jawbone, meaning that it is an extensive surgical process. Like all surgical dental work, the process does pose some health risks depends on the types of dental implants. However, most complications are minor and easily treated, and they rarely occur in the first place. ARC Dental will ensure that any risks are taken care of as effectively and quickly as possible.

About the Dental Implant Procedure

At our German-trained Bali dental clinic, we will first arrange a consultation to take a closer look at the problems you are experiencing, and may recommend different treatments based on that. If we believe a dental implant is the right treatment and you are happy to proceed, the procedure continues as follows:

• The mouth will be thoroughly numbed with anesthesia.
• If there is any damaged tooth still there, it will be removed.
• An incision is made into the gums to expose the bone.
• A specialized drill is used to create space for the implant which is screwed in place.
• The incision is closed and a stitch may be placed, giving the implant time to become secured to the bone.
• In the next appointment, the implant is re-exposed and your replacement tooth or abutment for your dentures will be attached.

It’s important to note that dental implants require suitable jaw bone tissue to connect to. If you have experienced bone loss, we may need to arrange a bone grafting treatment before.

Types of Dental Implants and How They Help

There are various types of dental implants, each of which can help in different situations. Here, we will look at the differences and the specific advantages each offers.

Endosteal: These are the most common, shaped like screws that are fused to the jawbone before the replacement teeth are fitted to them.

Subperiosteal: Those who do not like the idea of having something fitted to their teeth may prefer this method, which involves an implant that rests below the gum but on top of the bone, secured in place by a frame. Also a reliable treatment for those who don’t have enough jawbone for endosteal implants.

Zygomatic: More rarely used, these implants are placed in the patient’s cheek if there isn’t enough jawbone to support any of the other options.

All-on-4: If you need to replace all of your teeth, either on both sides or just the top or bottom, this treatment might be the best fit. It involves using four endosteal implants that can support a full row of teeth.
