Dental
Implants Costa Rica
Dental Implants can be used to replace missing teeth. They have been used very successfully now for the past 25 years and dentistry has come to rely on them for solving problems that were formerly insolvable
There are several types of dental implants; the most widely accepted and successful is the osseointegrated implant, based on the discovery by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark that titanium can be successfully fused into bone when osteoblasts grow on and into the rough surface of the implanted titanium.
Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your implantologist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Bone Grafts / Replacements
Bone disappears when it's not used (if no tooth is present). Sometimes before an implant can be placed, bone needs to be added to the site and allowed to regenerate. The bone can be taken from another site in the mouth or other sources can be used. This bone graft acts as a scaffold for your own bone to grow across, regenerate and calcify. As the new bone matures, the bone graft material resorbs (slowly dissolves away). A large percent of the time, a membrane is used to guide the graft to grow to the new bone in the proper way. This is called Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR). Many different membranes are available to achieve the desired result.A bone graft may or may not be done at the same time the implant is placed, depending on the individual situation. If it is determined that they need to be performed at separate visits, the length of time between them is normally 4 to 8 months, again depending on what type of bone the graft will be placed in.
