As anyone who has ever lost a tooth can attest, going even one day with a gap in your mouth can be uncomfortable and embarrassing if it is noticeable when you smile. While dental implants have made it possible to replace a tooth with a post and crown that mimics your natural teeth, the usual procedures still tend to take awhile to complete.
Fortunately, we have a new tool that we can use since Ultratooth dental implants allow us to place a post and crown immediately in the space that is left in your mouth on the same day that you have an extraction. The technology behind Ultratooth implants is fascinating to learn about, and knowing more about how they work helps you prepare to receive same day implants that minimize the hassles that are commonly associated with tooth replacement.
Understanding the Eiffel Tower Effect
Ultratooth dental implants are made from FDA-approved materials that are proven to be more successful than traditional types due to their design. The post for these implants is made with an expandable design that resembles the Eiffel Tower once it is fully opened up. The ability to expand gives these implants 35 percent more surface area than other post styles, which allows it to be able to support full loading right away. The osseointegration process, or fusion of the post to the jaw bone, is also faster than with other methods due to the wider point of contact provided by this design.
How Ultratooth Implants are Placed
When these implants are used, the dentist places the post while it is in the closed position, much like they would do with a traditional titanium screw-style post. Once the implant is in the socket, the dentist can then use a specially-designed mechanism to open up the post so that it makes contact with the bone structure in the jaw immediately. The posts are also made to only expand to the maximum amount necessary to promote proper contact in the socket.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Ultratooth implants are designed to be long lasting, and yours can last a lifetime with proper care. Since the expandable posts also prevent coronal bone loss, your teeth should maintain their emergence profile for longer. While you will be provided with a personalized after care plan, you can expect to be able to walk out of our office with fully functioning new tooth replacements. This means that you can go right out and eat an apple as soon as you feel comfortable doing so, and being able to eat a healthy diet immediately helps to promote better overall healing. When properly placed, these implants have over a 95 percent success rate, which allows you to proceed with your treatment with confidence.
When you need to be able to eat and speak normally right way, Ultratooth implants provide you with an option for same day tooth replacement. Be sure to ask about this revolutionary new type of treatment so that you can quickly achieve your goal of a full smile.
