Does food get stuck around implanted dental implants?

Category: DENTAL IMPLANTS
It depends on how the implant placement and crown on the implant are planned. Unfortunately, this can be one of the drawbacks of implant therapy. The thought of having to clean the area around the implant after every meal due to food retention is not pleasant at all. The diameter of the implant is significantly narrower than the diameter of the tooth’s neck (the implant’s diameter is about 4 mm, while the neck of molars is 8 mm). As a result, when we place a crown of normal width (8 to 10 mm) on the implant, a large part of the crown remains unsupported on the sides. Food and debris often get trapped in this empty space, and they have to be cleaned after every meal.By carefully planning the entire implant-superstructure-crown construction, this problem can be overcome, and the patient will not have a problem with food retention. This construction actually creates the “whole tooth,” and the point is to shape it as closely as possible to a natural tooth and to be intimately attached to the existing gums. By taking this approach, we eliminate steps and empty corners, so there is no space for food to get trapped. Additionally, the implant must be placed deeper into the bone than usual.Given that we strictly follow these guidelines, you can rest assured that food will not get stuck after our therapy because we know the steps to take. Food retention around the implant is not desirable because it can cause inflammation of the gums and bone around the implant (peri-implantitis) over a longer period. If left untreated, aggressive peri-implantitis can lead not only to implant loss but also to the loss of surrounding bone.

Why are the prices of dental implants high?

Category: DENTAL IMPLANTS

The answer to this question would be another question – are they really high?

Unfortunately, despite a lot of effort to save all the teeth, at some point one or more teeth are lost. The lack of even one tooth leads over time to greater destruction of neighboring teeth, bones, tooth displacement and even problems with the jaw joints.

In order to prevent all this, it is necessary to compensate for the missing tooth, preferably with a dental implant.

Once adequately and properly installed, a dental implant will serve you for at least 10 years and you will use it every day not only for chewing but also to prevent the already mentioned complications.

An installed dental implant does not require any additional interventions other than your daily tooth cleaning and occasional curettage at the dentist, with special curettes. Therefore, it does not require excessive further investments.

If we compare the price of a dental implant that lasts a very long time with all the other prices you pay every day (car maintenance, fuel, hair, nails, restaurants, private lessons…) you will realize that in a period of at least 10 years dental implants are actually -too cheap. And again, they compensate for the lost part of the body – the tooth. You will agree, health is still a priority.

Of course, in order for such a calculation to be realistic, the dental implant must be adequately installed, following the installation rules and protocols. Otherwise, if complications arise due to inadequate dental work or non-maintenance by the patient, the loss of the implant may occur and unfortunately this is not just a waste of money. Then your jawbone often becomes lost which is not easy to compensate.
