#Screw-retained Implants

[metalcatholic]

if you don’t know this already I have fake teeth. I was born missing adult teeth and went through a period of my life where I had fake teeth attached to a retainer that I could just take out as a pleased. I actually lost more than a few of these I don’t think my parents understood until they got Invisalign and experience the feeling of putting the retainer down on a surface and it immediately vanishing. Not the point of why Im writing this, onwards.

I now have dental implants. Rock solid drilled into my jaw. They ain’t budging. Despite this I have numerous dreams where they come out of my head with the same sensation as the teeth on retainers once did, except this is accompanied by the anxiety of “crap my parents will be pissed that I need new implants. these are expensive”.

So very vivid dreams of me loosing my teeth and feeling the rather squishy gum due to reduce bone density which flies in the face of the waking world (bone implants and metal screws) often get me and I think it’s real life, waking up and furiously checking my teeth.

Lately however I’ve recognized in my dream that I’m dreaming because my teeth shouldn’t be coming out like this. Lately I have been in a dream pulling my teeth out and then gripping them in my palm to try and wake up. I hurts, like a fake tooth being gripped in my palm. But somehow it’s not truly pain, it’s pain but two degrees off, something wrong I can’t articulate. Eventually I wake up and find myself in a bout of sleep paralysis that I struggle to get out of. But I’m interested to see where I can take this. I’ve lucid dreamed before but have always ended up waking usually paralyzed. Trying to lucid dream out of a bout of sleep paralysis would be a nice goal if I can get past the sheer terror of being strangled that comes with it.

Headcanons on Seven's anatomy and physiology

The game gives hints here and there of what it's like for Seven to be more machine than flesh. Naturally out of curiosity, I wanted to dig more into that aspect, so here we go.

-Her head, spine, and upper torso remain organic, and all senses are still functional (vision, hearing, taste, touch, etc).

-Organs and viscera that are still intact: heart, lungs, blood vessels, some bones (skull, spine, sternum, ribs), liver, spleen, pancreas, respiratory muscles

-Organs removed: stomach, small intestines, large intestines, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries

-The digestive and reproductive tracts were probably seen by Face Mechon bioengineers as unnecessary, and especially after Fiora was gutted through by Metal Face, there's even less reason to salvage them.

-Lacking reproductive organs, naturally she wouldn't be able to have children with a Mechon body. At the time she had that body, the fact made her pretty upset and she tried to hide her distress from the others.

-Because the stomach is removed, but she retains her head and neck, the esophagus leads to a dead end that was surgically sewn shut. She can taste and chew food, but it won't be able to get past her esophagus and get digested. If she tries to eat anything solid, it sits in her esophagus and gives her heartburn. She ends up needing to vomit and regurgitate anything she tries to eat.

-Urinary system (kidneys, bladder) is still intact. Mechon Fiora may be only drinking water, but that has to be processed and filtered somehow.

-All four limbs are prosthetic/mechanical. The upper extremities are prosthetic all the way up to the collarbones, which are among the bones most prone to fractures. To minimize that risk, they are synthetic as well. The lower extremities are prosthetic only up to the pelvic girdle, which is still bone. 

-Her fists and feet being entirely mechanical, she can punch and kick through steel with painless ease, when the same moves from the average Homs could shatter knuckles and toe bones.

-With more metal than muscles in her body, Fiora is less prone to lactic acid buildup that causes fatigue. Powered even more by Meyneth's Monado, she has the stamina of an Armu and could hike for days without signs of tiring.

-Her spinal column is reinforced with rods and screws for stability and durability. This helps her survive blows and impacts that could cripple or kill the average Homs.

-The head gear is surgically implanted, similar to how real-life Mayfield pins are attached to the skull during neurosurgeries. Fiora can't simply take it off like a crown or a tiara. She tried to remove it once and nearly passed out from the pain.

-Her head gear has a built in radar and tracking device that collects data from her surroundings and transmits them to her brain. 

-She has cochlear implants that grant enhanced hearing. With them, her hearing ability is comparable to that of a vang.

-The drones she carries on her back dock into the mechanized parts of her spinal column, which establish a neurological connection. This lets Fiora command her drones that can detach and maneuver remotely by the will of her thoughts.

-Neurosurgery had enhanced the function of her nerves, leading to superhuman reaction time and reflexes, but at a cost. If she overexerts herself, the strengthened, rapid firing of electrical activity could send her into seizures. This is the main reason why Linada cautioned Fiora not to push herself too much. While traveling and on the move with the party, Fiora is on a strict schedule of anticonvulsants formulated and prescribed by Linada. Because Fiora can't take medicine orally, such as pills, the medication must be given intravenously. Sharla is the only one skilled enough to safely give Fiora injections. Missing a dose exponentially increases the risk of having a seizure. Even when compliant on the regimen, Fiora must take care not to get overzealous in the heat of battle.

-The additional double-edged sword to Fiora's enhanced nerves is heightened detection and sensation of pain. She would suffer from flares of neuropathic pain that can't be treated. All she can do is grit her teeth and ride it out. She gets less frequent episodes if she rests well and doesn't overexert herself, but the baseline pain never goes away. The pain gets worse with dehydration and cold temperatures. Valar Mountain is like a torture chamber for her.

Advantages of Dental Implants Over Other Tooth Replacement Solutions

If you have lost your teeth or have multiple missing teeth, dental implants are one of the best solutions for such a case, and they have the following advantages over other tooth replacement solutions. Thus, as opposed to dentures or bridges, dental implants are embedded in the jaw, so they are comfortable and function similarly to natural teeth. Some of the main advantages of dental implants include: Some of the main advantages of dental implants include:

Aesthetic Advantages – Implants are designed in such a way that they resemble the appearance of natural teeth. The implant crowns are made to blend with the other teeth; hence, they are made in a similar color, shape, and size. This makes implants appear more like your natural teeth and leaves your smile looking as good as new. Unlike completely removable dentures that tend to fall off and cause unpleasant situations, dental implants are firmly fixed.

Facial Collapse – The lack of teeth leads to a reduction in the demand for the underlying bone structure, and hence, the bone begins to disintegrate. These changes affect features such as sunken cheeks. Most people don't realize that without use and pressure, the jawbone begins to dissolve, which is why dental implants are beneficial in retaining the bone. This helps maintain a natural look on your face, especially if you are a lady.

Improved Hygiene – Implants don't need support from the adjacent teeth like bridges or dentures do. This means that the neighboring teeth are not at all affected and do not require to be filed down to make a cavity for a bridge. Unlike bridges, these implants do not affect the overall health of the other teeth since they do not rely on the neighboring teeth for support but rather strengthen them.

More Convenient – Dentures can be removed and worn, will slide around the mouth, cause an individual's gag reflex, and make it almost impossible for them to eat. However, as dental implants screw into the jawbone as if they were real teeth roots, they cannot move from their positions and bear loads of pressures similar to natural teeth. This stability and strength result in ideal positioning when eating and speaking with minimal discomfort.

Easiness – Unlike other forms of dentures that have to be removed from the mouth and cleaned before being stored, implants remain permanently in the mouth. That makes cleaning easy, and there is no way you will lose your dentures while afraid of not being able to locate them. These aspects also reduce the fear of dentures falling off during social interactions since they appear like natural teeth.

Durability – Implants have been proven to endure for several years, implying that their usage in tooth replacement will be long-term. Properly positioned by an experienced dentist from Cloverdale Dental Centre, dental implants can last a lifetime. It has been noted that their success rate is slightly above 95 percent if the patient adheres to good hygiene standards.

It is true that implant treatment is costlier than other similar treatments such as dentures or bridges, but given the benefits associated with implant systems, the extra costs are well justified for most missing teeth situations. This is because of their lasting ability to look and feel like natural teeth and the fact that they stop bone degradation, as is the case with dental implants. The overall quality and experienced dentists like the ones at Cloverdale Dental can make dental implants provide a confident smile for the future decades.

Benefits, Types, & More about Permanent Dentures in Surrey

Permanent dentures provide a perfect solution if you are annoyed with pain caused by traditional dentures that keep slipping and moving. Unlike conventional dentures, these are made to stay firmly fixed in appropriate positions as they are held by dental implants surgically attached to the human jawbone. Unlike loose dentures, the implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a secure anchor; thus, you don’t need to have concerns about the dentures coming off while eating, talking or laughing.

Dentures can be divided into two subcategories: removable and permanent dentures. The first type, implant-supported dentures, are removable dentures that can be clamped. These can be removed for cleanings. The connected implant provides both a secure and stable feeling by preventing them from shifting or sliding when you are doing your everyday activities. The second one is named fixed or permanent dentures or screw-retained dentures. Hence these ones are permanent non-removable implants that are screwed in your jawbone so that only your dentist can take them out. Compared to the fixed dentures, the removal dentures may appear less lifelike but are easier to keep clean by taking them out to remove any food particles.

Permanent dentures belong to that type of dentures that allow more positive consequences than temporary ones. Thanks to the anchoring with screw, the top benefits are the natural improvement of stability and comfort. This means the dentures will not move. Eating all your favourite foods will no longer be a problem for you. Additionally, with permanent dentures, there is no friction compared to traditional removable dentures that irritate your gums and cause sores. The other benefit is that permanent dentures will stop bone recession in your jaw, so your face will keep its full and natural shape and not show a sunken look over the years.

Most people who need removable dentures can be considered good candidates for permanent dentures. However, if there are some health issues, such as unmanaged diabetes or autoimmune diseases, then it can result in being unqualified for permanent dentures. Your dentist will do a comprehensive assessment of your current condition, which involves checking your bone density, health, and medical history to determine if the removable or permanent dentures are safe and will work for you.

Suppose you aspire to have permanent dentures fitted. In that case, your dentist discusses the whole procedure in detail with you, and you know what will be done at each stage and what to expect regarding the full cost. Although the total cost of getting permanent dentures at the first time can be higher than that for the removable dentures, the long-term advantages in the form of effective chewing, self-esteem, and natural bone preservation make the final price all worth it in terms of your improvements of life quality.

If you are considering getting a procedure to replace your removable dentures with permanent ones in Surrey, you can easily book a consultation at Digital Denture Centre. The experienced denturists in Surrey can examine your mouth and explain you different choices regarding which denture is the best for you.

Picard

More like "Pic(king a better show to watch would not be h)ard"! Ha ha!

This is Season 3, Episode 5, "Imposters". I think this is a rare bird in the season, where the episode title is not some cutesy reference to classic Trek. Most of them have names like "Make It So" or "Four Lights". Sometimes they'll add a little twist like "Tea, Earl Grey Cold".

Oh... this is ass. Let's talk about continuity for a minute, because I'm still pissed off at how neither Guinan nor Picard remembered their meeting in 1893. I looked this up on Memory Alpha to see if there was some acknowledgement of the error, and apparently the people who made the show provided an explanation: Due to the changes in the timeline, General Picard never experienced the events of "Times Arrow", so this version of 2024 Guinan had never met Picard before. Which is kind of what I assumed, except Admiral Picard (the good one) still remembers 1893, but he never mentions any of it. He walks into her bar expecting her to recognize him, and he's surprised when she doesn't, but he never explains why she should. You'd think he would just assume she forgot, since it was so long ago. You'd think he would say "Don't you remember that 19th Century mine in San Francisco?" and she'd tell him she has no idea what he's talking about, and he'd go "Oh, right, because the timeline changed. Crap." But that never happens, which took me out of the show.

I say all of this because Picard usually operates that way. In the previous episode, Seven kills a Changeling, but it retains its human disguise even as a corpse. That's now how it worked in DS9, but they explain that here. Dr. Crusher makes note of how unusual this is, and she studies the body to understand why. She doesn't have a complete explanation, but she confirms that these Changelings are Built Different, and chalks it up to evolution. The upshot is that the Changelings in Picard are harder to catch than the ones in Deep Space Nine. I assume this also explains why they look more like liquid meat than the orange syrup we saw in the 90's. They wanted to beef up the Changelings and they did, but they also took care to inform the audience of it.

I say usually because Picard screws up in a number of places. For instance, Season 2 heavily implies that the Ten Forward bar on the Eneterprise-D was named after a bar Guinan ran in Los Angeles. It's not; "Ten Forward" is a designation for the most front-facing section of Deck Ten. Season 1 makes it seem like extracting Borg implants is a laborious, sometimes gruesome process, but Picard and Seven were de-assimilated pretty quickly and easily decades earlier.

Sometimes Picard struggles to get its own continuity straight. Last episode had a flashback to "five years ago", when Picard told old stories of his adventures to a bunch of excited Starfleet officers, and he unwittingly told his son that Starfleet was the only family he ever needed. The thing is, five years ago, Picard was in the middle of a fourteen-year resignation from Starfleet. He was bitter and disgusted with the whole organization, so it seems odd that he would be so eager to call it "family". His crewmates, sure, but not Starfleet. I'm not talking out my ass here, because this was all established in Season 1, set two years before Season 3, and three years after this flashback scene.

My point here is that the show is a confusing mess. Lots of TV shows play fast and loose with continuity. Hell, TNG was a repeat offender, using, distorting, or discarding TOS lore as it saw fit. But TNG could get away with it, becuase it was (a) good, and (b) it wasn't depending so heavily on the callbacks to TOS. Picard, however, is pretty much marketed as a continuation of TNG. Season 3 in particular is marketed as a damn reunion show. It desperately needs to get the continuity right, or at least mostly right. But it makes some big blunders, which means the callbacks that actually make sense are less effective.

For example, this episode sees Commander Ro Laren from Starfleet Intelligence show up to question Picard and Riker about their shenanigans in the previous four episodes. But the last time we saw Ro, she betrayed Starfleet to the Maquis. The idea here is to make the audience wonder if this is really Ro at all, or a Changeling infiltrator disguised as Ro. That's a good angle, except that the show has made too many mistakes in the past, so I couldn't ignore a third possibility: It's a plot hole.

So we get this rather well-acted scene with Ro and Picard talking out their beef, each gauging the other to see if they're really who they claim to be. But the whole time I'm trying to gauge the writers, trying to figure out if they actually watched the Ro episodes of TNG and paid attention. And it turns out they got it right! This time. It's frustrating because a lot of this episode is about trust, and I can't trust this show because it's let me down so many time.

For example, I assumed Captain Shaw would be killed off by now since they introduced him like the kind of jerk who dies in hilarious fashion in a horror movie. He's like the guy who dies in the restroom in Jurassic Park, or Peck from Ghostbusters. Yet Shaw remains improbably alive and with zero marshmallow goo on his body. Ro had most of the crew sent to a different ship and warns Picard to make a run for it, but she doesn't tell any of this to Shaw, who is the captain of the damn ship. So Picard has to convince him that Ro's news of a Changeling conspiracy is legit and they need to run, except Shaw's been burned by Picard before. He finally comes around, but it's becoming more and more clear that Shaw's sole purpose in this show is to pump the brakes on the plot. I'm sure Chicagoans love seeing one of their fellow dipshits on the show, but as far as I'm concerned Captain Shaw is like a bad Peter David Star Trek novel come to life. I trusted the show to avoid stooping this low, and they keep digging deeper.

Will the Federation Horns appear in Star Trek: Picard? Is that where we're headed? Maybe they already did, since there was a live band at that pre-launch party for the Europa mission in Season 2. They were simply biding their time, scouting the centuries before making their big move in Season 3. Their plan: pointless filler bullshit. The cybrid bitch is mine.

What else happened? Oh, Jack Crusher got cornered by a bunch of Changelings posing as security officers, and he suddenly "activated" just like Dahj and Soji in Season 1. I mean... literally exactly like what the synths did in Season 1. You'd think that the writers would get to this scene and someone would point out that this is too similar to a moment from a previous episode, but no.

Could this be an important clooooooooooooooooo as to what Jack Crusher really is? Maybe he's a robot like Dahj and Soji, by which I mean not a robot at all, but somehow a robot anyway, because the writers don't understand what words mean?

I'm gonna say no, because Worf pulls the same trick in this episode. A bad guy captures him and Raffi and makes them fight to the death for his amusement, and Worf fakes his death in order to get the drop on them. How did he fake his death so thoroughly? He used the "Kahless Technique."

...

You know what? I'm in the wrong blog, but I can roll with this. I thought Worf was acting a little too much like a Jedi in this show, but no. No, he's become a Dragon Ball Super guy. That's why his hair is white. He's not going grey, he just had to be in Ultra Instinct (mastered) so that he could properly align his ki to survive the knife wound. Also he needed the heightened reflexes and speed to ensure Raffi would actually stab him in the right place, since Raffi's such a fuck-up she couldn't win a fight even if it was fixed. At least now I know how Goku survived all those stab wounds he got in the Zamasu arc. He learned the Kahless Technique. Or he's a synth. I hate everything.

Or... they could have just caught the guy they wanted without all this nonsense and had the information they needed without all this rigamorale, but Captain Shaw can't slow down the show all by himself. We have to drag this out to ten episodes together! Come on everybody!

Back to Jack Crusher, so he beats up and kills four Changelings all by himself. Bev asks him how he knew they were Changelings and he admits that he had no idea. He's just been having these nightmarish visions of murdering every crewman on the ship, so when they tried to capture him it just sent him over the edge. He sees all this red shit when he's in this mode, so either he's a vampire and this is all a Hellsing reference, or he's like a Borg sleeper agent and the red color scheme is meant to throw me off the scent. "Ha ha," the writers said when they came up with this. "We always use green lighting for the Borg, so this time we'll use red and they'll never see it coming." No, I'm on to you, Alex Kurtzman. You ain't slick.

Oh, right, I forgot to talk about the show's opening. They didn't do a flashback this time, instead it was a dream Jack had of himself shooting up everyone on the bridge. Apparently the writers got bored trying to make a space 9/11 on Star Trek so they started doing space mass shootings instead. This show is hacky and crappy and boring and stupid and not even the Kahless Technique can save it.

A Guide to Different Types of Dental Implants

Missing teeth can be a burden, impacting not only your smile but also your confidence and oral health. Thankfully, dental implants offer a revolutionary solution by providing a permanent and natural-looking alternative. But with various types of dental implants available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Worry not! This guide dives into the different types of dental implants, empowering you to make an informed decision for your smile.

Types of Dental Implants by Placement:

Endosteal Implants: These are the most common, resembling screws surgically placed directly into the jawbone. They offer superior stability and are ideal for replacing single or multiple teeth.

Subperiosteal Implants: Resting on top of the jawbone beneath the gums, these implants are suitable for situations where jawbone density is insufficient for traditional implants. However, they offer less stability and are less commonly used.

Zygomatic Implants: Anchoring in the cheekbone, these specialized implants are reserved for severe bone loss in the upper jaw, providing support for dentures or prosthetics.

Types of Dental Implants by Application:

Single-Tooth Implants: As the name suggests, these replace a single missing tooth with a natural-looking crown attached to an implant.

Implant-Supported Bridges: When multiple teeth are missing, bridges supported by implants provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Implant-Retained Dentures: For those missing all teeth, implant-retained dentures offer a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.

Additional Considerations:

Material: Most implants are made of biocompatible titanium, promoting osseointegration, the fusion of bone and implant.

Immediate vs. Traditional Loading: In some cases, a temporary crown can be placed immediately after implant surgery, while others require a healing period before crown placement.

Bone Augmentation: For patients with insufficient jawbone density, bone grafting procedures can be performed to create a suitable foundation for implants.

Choosing the Right Implant for You:

The best type of dental implant depends on your individual needs, jawbone health, and desired outcome. Consulting a qualified dentist is crucial for determining the most suitable option for your unique situation. They will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the appropriate implant type and treatment plan.

Dental Implants in Rocklin, CA:

If you're considering dental implants in Rocklin, CA, seek a dentist with extensive experience and expertise in this field. Look for professionals who utilize advanced technology and offer personalized care to guide you through every step of the journey.

How was the process of getting dental implants? I've one really bad molar, it's been worked on before, that I live in fear of having to have pulled. If so I'd like an implant but it sounds worrying

Well for your bad molar they’d pull it so you could get an implant.

My situation was rather complex. I never developed my upper right & left lateral incisors and my canines and premolars were flipped. They pulled some baby teeth as I grew and then I was in braces from 4th to 11 grade. The braces were so they could keep those spaces for the future implants. I had to visit a variety of specialists with long names. One removed some of my gums. When I got the braces off they pulled the remaining baby teeth that they’d built up to look like adult teeth and gave me a clear retainer with fake teeth to wear. Then once they were sure I was done growing they gave my a cadaver bone transplant, since there was never adult teeth to hold in there was a lack of bone density where they wanted the implants to go. I had that procedure, it took awhile but I was only under local so I could drive myself home after. We waited for the bone to establish itself then they had the surgery to put in the rods/screws. Again awake with local. We waited a couple months for the swelling to go down and for my school break so I could fly back up for the actual crowns.

As long as that experience was it was very normal for me. I’d know since I was 6 that I’d be getting dental implants.

Funnily enough my father was getting moral implants at the same time (cause he was a teeth grinder). His experience was similar minus the bone implants and it took less time as he fully grown so they didn’t need to worry about that complication. His experience is probably more akin to what you’d go through, and he is very happy with the outcome.

It’s definitely something you should talk to your dentist about they’ll probably refer you to a prosthodontist (I think?). I will say if you’re still under your parents insurance hop to it and get it done before you’re kicked off it. They wouldn’t cover *everything* I had to have done but it was substantially cheaper under my parents health insurance than it would be if I turned 26 and bought my own

Septum piercing:Things to pay attention to

Septum piercings are a popular form of facial piercing that goes through the nasal septum, the cartilage that separates the nostrils. Choosing the right jewelry for a septum piercing is crucial for comfort, style, and the healing process. Here are some considerations for septum piercing jewelry:

Initial Jewelry:

Circular Barbell: This is a common choice for initial septum jewelry. It consists of a straight bar with two beads that screw onto each end. The circular shape allows for ease of cleaning and minimizes movement during the healing process.

Horseshoe (Captive Bead Ring): A horseshoe-shaped ring with a removable bead is another popular option. The bead is often held in place by tension between the two ends of the ring.

Material:

Implant-Grade Materials: For initial piercings, it’s recommended to use materials such as titanium, niobium, or surgical stainless steel. These materials are known for their biocompatibility and reduced risk of allergic reactions.

Gold: If you prefer gold, make sure it is at least 14k or higher to minimize the risk of irritation.

Gauge and Diameter:

Gauge Size: Septum piercings are typically done in 16 or 14 gauge. The gauge refers to the thickness of the jewelry.

Diameter: The diameter of the jewelry will depend on your anatomy and personal preference. A piercer will choose a size that allows for comfort and proper healing.

Clicker Rings:

Clicker rings are a popular choice for septum piercings, especially for those who want a seamless, easy-to-insert option. These rings have a hinged closure and often feature decorative elements.

Retainers:

For situations where you may need to conceal the piercing, such as in professional settings, septum retainers are available. These are usually made of clear or flesh-toned materials and have a discreet appearance.

Decorative Ends:

Once the piercing has healed, you can explore a variety of decorative ends for your septum jewelry. These can include gemstones, spikes, beads, or unique shapes.

Style and Personal Preference:

Choose a style that suits your taste and complements your facial features. Septum jewelry comes in various styles, from minimalistic to more elaborate designs.

Consider your lifestyle and the activities you engage in when choosing jewelry. For example, if you play contact sports, you may prefer a low-profile option.

Professional Piercing:

Always have your septum piercing done by a professional piercer. They will help you choose the right jewelry based on your anatomy, provide proper aftercare instructions, and ensure a safe and clean procedure.

Remember that septum piercings can take several weeks to months to heal completely. It’s important to follow proper aftercare practices and avoid changing the jewelry prematurely to prevent complications. If you plan to change your septum jewelry, consult with your piercer to ensure it’s done safely and at the appropriate time in the healing process.

Dental Implants or Artificial Tooth Roots

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. They are used to support the restoration of one or more missing teeth helping to stop or prevent jaw bone loss. The implant procedure is classified as a form of prosthetic dentistry (artificial replacement) but it is also considered a form of cosmetic dentistry. Contact Dental Implants in Anna Nagar Chennai!

People with missing teeth may feel embarrassed when smiling or talking. Additionally, an uneven bite caused by tooth loss can negatively affect eating habits, leading to secondary health problems such as malnutrition. By replacing lost tooth roots, dental implants give people the strength and stability to eat all the foods they love without the difficulty of chewing them.Additionally, they help stimulate and maintain the jawbone, prevent bone loss, and support facial features.Tooth Loss occurs because of -

Tooth decay

Root canal failure

Gum disease (Periodontitis)

Trauma to the mouth (tooth injury)

Excessive wear and tear

Congenital defects

For this you need to contact dental implants in Anna Nagar at Elite Dentistry!

Characteristics of Dental Implants

According to the size of different surface characteristics, the roughness of the implant surface is divided into macro, micro, and nano roughness. Macro roughness- This characteristic can range from millimeters to microns. The shape of the implant, especially the threaded screw and the macro porosity, is directly associated with this scale.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as dental implant materials due to their good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility. The long-term normal function of dental implants is related to their early and robust osseointegration. Dental implants are the most natural replacement for missing or damaged teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants do not slip or squeak when you talk, smile, or eat. And they help keep your jaw and facial structure healthy and intact.

Types of Dental Implants

Replacement of a single tooth – Use a single dental implant

Replacement of several teeth - Using an implant-supported bridge

Replacement of all your teeth – Using an implant-retain denture
