A dental emergency is an urgent dental problem, usually associated with the teeth and jaws, which may have symptoms that require immediate attention by a dentist. For example, a severe dental infection, a visible swelling, or a recent dental trauma are all considered emergency problems that require prompt, professional attention.

​DENTAL IMPLANTS EMERGENCY​

​When a tooth or two are missing, and the gaps created interfere with the normal functions of the daily routine, filling those gaps is the best solution. And that best solution starts with dental implants.
​

What are Dental Implants?

In the simplest form, dental implants are the roots for a permanent or temporary tooth-like structure that can replace a gap in the mouth. It is a surgical fixture that is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over a few months. The process of fusion between the dental implant and jawbone is called "osseointegration." Most dental implants are made of titanium, which allows them to integrate with bone without being recognized as a foreign object in a human body. Once the fusion is successful, your dentist will then attach an artificial prosthetic replacement for the gap.

​
​What is Involved in the Process?

Dental implant treatment involves three components that target the gap in the mouth entirely.

1. Fixture - It is a screw-shaped design fixed at the bottom of the implant and physically embedded or fused below the gum line, in the jawbone.
2. Abutment - It is the small portion screwed into the fixture and eventually holds the dental work right over the gum line.
3. Prosthesis - It is a dental item (crown, bridge, or denture) attached on the top of the abutment. The piece is cemented or screwed onto the abutment.

​

When are Dental Implants Needed?

There may be some obvious signs that mean that you need dental implants. Some of these are:

• A missing tooth or multiple teeth due to accident, gum disease, or any other issue.
• Shifting of healthy teeth due to space availability.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Just by filling a single or a series of gaps in the mouth, dental implants can provide these benefits:

1. Complete smile
2. Improved appearance
3. Easy, clear, and improved speech
4. An easier and comfortable eating experience
5. Better oral health as there aren't any chances of plaque build-ups
6. No shifting of healthy teeth (properly aligned teeth line)
7. Improved facial and bone features
8. Overall positive experience and improved self-esteem
9. A long-lasting solution that may survive for almost a lifetime

Requirements for Successful Dental Implants

Along with patience, there are a few other aspects that the dentist will look at. Dental implants may be ideal for an individual only if s/he has,

• Straight neighbouring teeth
• Healthy gums
• Healthy jawbone
• Adequate bone below the gumline
• Good overall health (no autoimmune diseases)
• No ongoing radiation therapy

Apart from these, an individual shouldn't be a heavy smoker and should follow good oral hygiene to hold implants in place.
