- Dental Implants are the best way to restore missing teeth 🦷 ✨-

Here are some points that you need to know before getting a dental implant done ✅

1) All dental implants need 4-5 months of healing to integrate with the bone (osseointegration 🦴)

2) If at the time of the surgery enough stability is achieved (35nws or more) a temporary crown for the healing period may be used

3)When isn’t possible to do an immediate crown a removable appliance like a “flipper” can be used for the healing period.

4) All implants are less forgiving than natural teeth if you don’t clean them and they have to be checked and monitor every 6 - 12 months.

5)Implants can last a life time with adequate placement and maintenance, the crown or abutment may have to be replaced every 10-15 years due to wear.
