Dental Implant Function
People wonder if dental implants are as sturdy
as natural teeth. The answer is, yes, they are. Following a brief
adaptation period, chewing capacity is the same as natural teeth.
They also feel as secure as natural teeth,
since they are anchored in the bone.
It wasn't too long ago that an extended
healing period of up to six months was required before these
fixtures could be used. During this healing period, the patient
would wear a dental flipper or other temporary tooth replacement to
avoid placing stress on the dental implant during the healing
period. Dr. Chal, however, has kept up with recent developments and
can place implants that function immediately
implants. It's called the
teeth-in-an-hour concept, and what it means for you as a patient
is that the surgery is much simpler and you can leave the placement
appointment with permanent teeth that you can use right away.
