After remarkable developments in dentistry over the last few years, dental implants in Leesburg, VA have become the treatment of choice and the most recommended solution for people who have missing or damaged teeth. Dental implants play the role of normal teeth, and have the highest success and survival rate in dentistry.
Dental implants in Leesburg, VA are small (between 6 and 15mm), titanium rods coated with biocompatible materials that have the ability to bind naturally to the existing bone (the phenomenon of osseointegration). The implants are placed in the jaw, and after a few months of healing, dentists can replace the roots of the natural teeth and support a single tooth, partial denture, or complete prosthesis. The lifetime of an implant should be decades, and it is important to choose an implant from a reputable company.
In 1952, Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark led an experimental study where he used a titanium implant to better understand blood flow to the jaw bone. At the end of this experiment, he discovered that there has been a complete integration of the implant with the bone. Branemark calls this discovery “osseointegration”. Modern implantology was invented in 1965 when Braumlnemark treated his first patient, Goumlsta Larson. After more than 50 years of research and study, implants have developed greatly and now have a very high success rate of 96%. More than 2 million implants are placed every year, making them the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth.
