  1. George Pegios George Pegios - - Dental implant surgery Dental implant surgery • Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces the roots of the teeth with metal bolts that look like screws and replaces the missing or damaged tooth with an artificial tooth that looks the same and has the same function as real teeth. • Dental implant surgery may offer a well-accepted alternative to dentures or bridges that do not fit well, and may offer an option when a lack of natural tooth roots does not allow for the creation of dentures or bridge tooth replacements.

  2. George George Pegios surgery surgery Pegios - -The method followed for dental implant The method followed for dental implant • The method followed for dental implant surgery depends on the type of implant and the state of the jaw. Dental implant surgery can encompass several procedures. The main benefit of implants is solid support for all new teeth, a process that requires the bone to heal heavily around the implant. Because this bone healing takes time, the process can take several months. • George Pegios -Why it is done • Dental implants are surgically placed in the jaw, where they serve as roots for missing teeth. Because the titanium in the implants fuses with the jaw, the implants will not slip, make noise, or cause bone damage in the way that fixed bridges or dentures could. Materials cannot be pitted like your own teeth while regular bridges can.

  4. George George Pegios Pegios Risks of a implant surgery Risks of a implant surgery • Like any surgery, dental implant surgery presents some health risks. However, problems are rare, and if they do occur they are generally minor and easily treated. The risks include: • * Infection at the implant site • * Injury or damage to surrounding structures, such as other teeth or blood vessels • * Injury to nerves, which can cause pain, numbness, or tickling of natural teeth, gums, lips, or chin • * Sinus problems, when dental implants placed in the upper jaw protrude through one of the sinus cavities
