2. What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the
jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount
replacement teeth onto them.
How do Dental Implants Work?
Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial
teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your
mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This
secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed
over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.
For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or
even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary
bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing
tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared
or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.

3. To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to
support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy.
Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term
success of dental implants.
Implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement,
and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees.
The American Dental Association considers two types of implants to be safe.
They are:

4. •Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the
jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is
needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or
teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture.
•Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto
the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes
fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through
the gums. As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the
posts.
