Dental implants have been around for thousands of years in one form or another. Most early attempts at placing implants were not successful or comfortable for the patient. It wasn’t until 1965 that the first modern implant was placed. Since then, the technology behind teeth implants has greatly advanced.
Today’s implants are usually made from titanium. This metal chemically fuses with the bone in your jaw to form a sturdy base for replacement teeth. Once the healing and fusing phase is complete, your implants can last for decades, if not the rest of your life.
Your dentist at Rusch Dental Group can anchor your new teeth to the implants. Depending on your circumstances, your options may include:

Dental implants are small posts made from titanium that your dentist inserts into your jawbone to serve as replacement teeth roots. If you are missing one or more teeth, implants function as a base for several types of new replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and full arches of fixed teeth.
Having a dental implant placed is not painful because your jaw will be numbed, plus you can stay completely relaxed with dental sedation throughout your procedure. Once you go home, you might require pain relievers for a day or two, but most of our patients report only taking over-the-counter medication following their dental implant procedure. Most feel well enough to return to work the day after.
The cost of dental implants varies, depending mainly on how many implants you receive. In some cases, you may also need another procedure, like a tooth extraction or bone grafts, to prepare for implants. We’ll discuss cost with you during the planning stage of your implant procedure so you know exactly what to expect. In addition, financing options can make your care manageable.
Technically, dental implants can be removed, although it is unlikely you would ever need to have that done. Once your implants have been placed in your jawbone, they completely bond with it and can last for decades, if not the rest of your life. Your replacement teeth that are anchored to your implants have an average life span of five to 10 years.
