What are Long Beach Dental Implants?
For dental implants to be the most successful, a patient must have the proper bone structure and a strong immune system to heal properly. Dental implants in Long Beach do in fact require a strict oral hygiene. Without it your dental implants will be susceptible to infection.
Dental implants are structures that are placed in the gap area normally occupied by a tooth. Since implants are meant to replace the root, they are anchored directly to the jawbone with a screw. From there, they become the foundation for the implant.
The Dental Implant Process
When it comes to dental implants, oral surgery is necessary in order to prepare the area properly and for the best chance of success overall. After the implant is implanted into the mouth, a period of time is required for it to take hold in the mouth and for bone tissue to build up and heal properly. This allows for the most successful outcome.
In some instances, metal posts are inserted into the implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth successfully. This is done on a case-by-case basis. Anesthesia is required for this procedure as well as antibiotics in order to prevent infection from occurring both during and after this surgical procedure.
