All About Dental Implants

Dental implants are metal screws placed in the jaw to replace tooth roots.

The bone fuses with implants through 'osseointegration'.[2]

They are ideal for replacing missing teeth and supporting dentures or bridges.

Dental Implants

 

Does an Implant Feel Like a Natural Tooth?

An implant may feel slightly different than a natural tooth due to a lack of cushioning.

Most people get used to implants over time and don’t notice any difference from real teeth.[3] So, as far as aesthetics are concerned, the implant will look exactly like a natural tooth.

Dental Implant vs Natural Tooth

A natural tooth has a visible crown and a root inside the jawbone. A dental implant replaces the root, while a porcelain or zirconia crown replaces the visible part.[4]

Discover the key differences between them below.

Natural Teeth Feature Dental Implant
Root + Crown Structure Screw + Porcelain crown
Chewing, biting, speaking Function Similar to natural teeth
Bone loss if missing Bone Support Prevents bone loss
Feels natural Comfort Feels different initially
Looks realistic Aesthetics Mimic natural teeth
Lifetime with care Durability Years with maintainence

What Procedures Are Needed Before the Implant Surgery?

Pre-surgery procedures increase the success rate of dental implants. These are:

  • Ideal for: Those with insufficient bone to support the implants.
  • Time Required: The new bone may take 4-6 months to form and be ready for implants.

Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting
  • Ideal for: For those with insufficient bone height in the upper jaw for implants.
  • Time Required: Sufficient bone growth typically takes between 6 to 9 months.

Sinus Lift

Sinus Lift
  • Ideal for: Those with severely decayed teeth or needing full mouth restoration procedures.
  • The damaged teeth are removed and replaced with artificial teeth.
Teeth Extraction
Tooth Extraction

In addition, you may need procedures like scaling, RCT, and filling. They reduce the chance of infection after surgery.[5]

Will I Require Bone Grafting?

You may need bone grafting if your jawbone is too thin or weak to support an implant. This procedure helps rebuild lost bone using natural or artificial materials.

It takes 4–6 months for the bone to grow strong enough to hold an implant.[5]

How Long Will the Implant Procedure Take?

Dental implants in Mexico is a 2-3 visit process with a gap of 3-6 months in between.

However, same-day dental implants are also available for eligible patients, minimizing wait times.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect:

Visit 1:

  • Timeline: 2-6 days*
  • The process starts with an evaluation, including medical history & X-rays.
  • A treatment plan is created, and surgery is scheduled.
  • Anesthesia is used to numb the area while implants are placed into the jawbone.
  • temporary prosthesis (artificial teeth) will be placed, allowing you to eat normally.

Dental Implant Placement

Implant Surgery

Visit 2:

  • This visit is scheduled 3-6 months after the first trip.
  • It may take 3-4 days for porcelain teeth/denture placement.

Permanent Teeth

Permanent Teeth
*Another visit may be required if you need bone graft surgery.

 

Does It Hurt To Get Dental Implants?

No, dental implants don’t hurt. Local anesthesia numbs the area during surgery.

Mild soreness after surgery is manageable with pain medication.[5] If the pain or swelling persists, contact your dentist to rule out any complications.

Question

Did you know?

Swelling and pain are common for 72 hours after surgery.

 

When can I go to work after implant surgery?

With proper implant care, you can return to work the next day. However, the dentist may advise a brief rest period to monitor healing.

Question

Did you know?

Pain and discomfort may last for a few days and can be managed with the prescribed medication.[6]

Can I Smoke Before and After the Dental Implant Oral Surgery?

  • Smoking raises the risk of implant failure by reducing blood flow, oxygen & nutrients.
  • It delays healing after surgery and increases implant rejection risk.
  • While, before implant placement, smoking weakens gums and jawbone.

No Smoking
Question

Did you know?

Research shows that smokers have a higher implant failure rate compared to non-smokers.[7]

How Long Will Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, dental implants can last for many years.

Factors that affect implant survival and longevity include:

  • Diet
  • Cleaning habits
  • Smoking
  • Overall health
  • Bone quality

The first few weeks are crucial for osseointegration, as the implant bonds with the bone.

Question

Did you know?

A 10-year follow-up shows dental implants have a 96.4% survival rate.[8]

How Is an Implant Better Than a Dental Bridge?

A dental implant replaces only the missing tooth by inserting a metal post in the bone. However, A bridge requires trimming healthy teeth for support.

Although crowns and bridges are effective treatments for replacing missing teeth, [9] but implants offer a more durable solution & and preserve the natural structure.
