What are titanium dental implants?

Titanium dental implants are small, durable screws placed into your jawbone to create an artificial tooth root to replace missing teeth. Despite being artificial, titanium is biocompatible, meaning it integrates with your natural bodily tissue well. 

Once placed, the implant fuses to your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a firm, stable foundation to place the​ abutment and crown, mimicking your natural tooth’s look and function.  The abutment is a small connector piece that links the dental implant to the crown. The crown is the artificial tooth designed to look and function like your natural tooth.

Benefits of titanium dental implants 

Titanium dental implants can offer suitable patients a host of benefits: 

Can last a lifetime

Thanks to their exceptional strength and durability, titanium dental implants can last a lifetime with little to no repair. They also don’t decay like organic tissue, meaning you won’t have to worry about the implant developing cavities.  

Most people need only maintain their implants by maintaining good oral health habits, scheduling routine dental checkups, and watching for early warning signs of damage. 

Biocompatible 

Titanium implants are biocompatible, meaning the human body generally accepts them pretty easily with minimal risk of rejection. This also means they resist corrosion from bodily fluids like saliva, helping to extend their lifespan. 

Can enhance your smile’s appearance

Titanium implants hide under the gum line, with the custom-designed, tooth-shaped crown sitting on top. This restores a natural look, allowing you to confidently flash your smile. Furthermore, implants restore stimulation to the jawbone, preventing jawbone erosion and preserving your facial structure.

Can restore your chewing and speaking 

With titanium implants, the jawbone fusion provides a strong, stable foundation for chewing and speaking without any slippage. You can essentially eat all the same foods as with natural teeth and not have to worry about the implant sliding or moving while you speak. 

How the titanium dental implant procedure works 

Here is a general overview of what to expect from the titanium dental implant process: 

First, the dentist evaluates your candidacy. They look over your health history, examine your oral health, take X-rays to check on your jawbone, and determine if preparatory procedures are needed. You can also ask them questions.  

The dentist performs any necessary tooth extractions, bone grafts, or other procedures to prepare the mouth to support the implant.  

The dentist places the titanium screw in the jawbone to serve as a sturdy base for the rest of the implant.  

Your gums at the surgery site heal within one to two weeks. The implant continues osseointegration for ​​2 to 4 months, gradually fusing to the jawbone.  

You visit the dentist to take impressions or a scan for the crown once osseointegration finishes.  

The dentist places the crown on top, mimicking the natural tooth’s look and function to complete the procedure.  

The healing process after getting titanium implants 

Healing from dental implants generally takes one to two weeks, but osseointegration takes several months since it takes a long time to integrate the implant into the jawbone. Here’s what to expect at each phase:
