We know that a dental implant is used to replace a tooth that we have lost, but it is important to highlight the importance of NOT having to reach that point.
It will always be preferable to take a preventive treatment to try to keep all our teeth in perfect condition, but in case it reaches the point where it is not possible to save the piece, the best solution is to perform the treatment with dental implants.
Many materials have been used as dental implants. However, at present time, only titanium implants have been unanimously accepted through the field of medicine. This metal is capable of integrating into the bone perfectly, a process also known as biocompatibility. The reason why this is possible is due to a feature that other metals do not possess which make titanium dental implants amazing.
At our dental clinic in Cancun we use only the best brands of implants approved by the FDA. One such brand is Nobel Biocare. This company located in Kloten, Switzerland has been at the head of titanium dental implant research for over 50 years.
Today we have a very interesting case of dental implants in Cancun. Our dear patient Jeff, from North Dakota, came to us for rehabilitation of his previously set dental implants. Let us explain the process: The dentists take a panoramic x-ray to make an evaluation of the patient’s bone and if needed might ask for a CT-scan to know the volume and all the details of the bone.
Many people have asked us the specifics about our mini implant Snap in Dentures, specially when it comes to cleaning them and other oral hygiene habits to have when having them. Our Snap in Dentures are not a permanent set of teeth like for example the All on 4 or All on 6 implant procedure where the denture is screwed directly over implants. Snap in Dentures use mini implants as anchorage by snap into the o-rings adapted on the denture. This means that when you eat and drink some tiny food particles might get below the denture.
One of the worst habits that affect your teeth and dental implants is smoking. Smoking has its influence on general as well as oral health of an individual. Tobacco negatively affects the outcome of almost all therapeutic procedures performed in the oral cavity. The failure rate of implant osseointegration is considerably higher among smokers, and maintenance of oral hygiene around the implants and the risk of peri-implantitis are adversely affected by smoking.
