Brian Gurinsky does Dental Implants Denver. Are you curious what goes into a tooth implant?

Tooth implants are great in replacing missing teeth. In many cases the tooth loss is from periodontist disease, an accident or by where you lose an adult or permanent tooth.

Having a space where a tooth once was can be an embarrassing situation. This much you already know but do you know the history of modern day dental implants?

In 1952, an orthopedic surgeon became frustrated that he couldn't remove a titanium cylinder that he had he had placed the bone of a rabbit to test how a bone heals. He used titanium to run his tests. After several months of the study he found he could not remove the titanium from the rabbit bone.

The firs actual dental implant on a human happened in that same year. It is thought that Dr. Leonard Linkow was the first to install a dental implant in 1952.

Dental implants are made and consist of a titanium screw that is supposed to mirror the roof of a tooth. Following the titanium screw is a cap that simulates a tooth (above the gums)

A typical healing time for the implant is 2-4 months. That doesn't mean that you will be in pain for that long. it just means that it is that long before your tooth implant dentist can finish it up for you.
